Pull Question

If the pull goes out , can you centre it where it went out, or do you choose between centred at the brick or sideline where it went out?

Based on the USAU Rules, 12th edition vs 11th edition there is confusion among some of my league mates as to what the correct option is, and if it changed from 11th to 12th editions. Could someone point me to what rule says this and what exactly is the correct ruling?

Thanks in advance!

It did not change.

9.B.6: If the pull hits the ground or an out-of-bounds area untouched, it is put into play as follows:

a.If the disc initially hits and remains in-bounds, it is in play where it comes to rest or is stopped (17.F).

b. If the disc initially hits in-bounds and then becomes out-of-bounds before being touched by the receiving team, it is put into play at the spot on the central zone (i.e., excluding the end zones) nearest to where it first crossed the perimeter line to become out-of-bounds.

c.If the disc initially hits in-bounds and then becomes out-of-bounds after being touched by the receiving team, it is put into play at the spot on the playing field nearest to where it first crossed the perimeter line to become out-of-bounds.

d.If the disc initially hits an out-of-bounds area, the receiving team may put the disc into play:

1.at the spot determined by 10.H; or

2.after signaling for a brick or middle by fully extending one hand overhead and calling brick or middle before gaining possession of the disc, either at

a.the brick mark closest to the end zone that the receiving team is defending if "brick" was called, or

b.the spot on the long axis of the central zone nearest to the spot determined by 10.H if "middle" was called.

10.H: To continue play after the disc becomes out-of-bounds, a member of the team gaining possession of the disc must carry it to, and put it into play at, the spot on the central zone nearest to where the most recent of the following events occurred:

  1. the disc completely crossed the perimeter line;
  2. the disc contacted an in-bounds player;
  1. the disc contacted a defensive player; or
  1. the disc became out-of-bounds due to contact with the out-of-bounds area or a player while any part of the disc was inside the perimeter line.

Centering where it went out is 9.B.6.d.2.b. After calling brick or middle, you can take it at either the brick mark closest to the receiving teams endzone OR "the spot on the long axis of the central zone nearest to the spot determined by 10.H."

If it lands out of bounds, you take it center field where it went out. *

If it lands in bounds and then rolls out, you take it at the sideline where it went out.

*If it lands out bounds and also went past the brick, you center it and also move forward to the brick.
