Most of the new rules and changes are about timings after points and timeouts, but at the end of the page I came across this shocker. Failing to catch after touching (Replacement rule 404.05 D (8) Whenever a member of the receiving team touches the disc during its flight (whether in or out-of bounds) and the receiving team subsequently fails to catch the disc prior to its touching the ground, any member of the receiving team can pick up the disc from where it stops. This replaces current rule 404.05.D (8). NOTE: this means you can drop the pull and still keep possession. The full list of rule changes are on the WUCC99 web page www.ultilinks.com/wucc99/ ALi Mohawks
