What’s that Rule?
Stall Count: The marker administers a stall count on the thrower by announcing “Stalling” and then counting from one (1) to ten (10). The interval between the start of each number in the stall count must be at least one (1) second.
The stall count must be clearly audible to the thrower.
The marker may only start and continue a stall count when:
The disc is live (unless specified otherwise);
They are within three (3) metres of the thrower, or the correct pivot point if the thrower has moved from that spot; and
All defenders are legally positioned.
If the marker moves more than three (3) metres from the thrower, or a different player becomes the marker, the stall count must be restarted at "Stalling one (1)”.
Ultimate Fees Revised:
In order to fund existing and new initiatives to expand Ultimate Frisbee in NSW, the NSW Executive has decided to revise the fees from May 1, 2017:
1. Leagues: $0.77 per person per night of league 2. Tournaments: $1.65 per person per day 3. State Championships and Eastern Regionals: $5.45 per person per day
