I think I agreed with the rest of you mail, but I must disagree with this. The WFDF rules do NOT say anything about whether the pick affected play or not. The throw should go back even if the pick was in a completely different direction. Of course a lot of team will allow the play to stand if it turns out the pick was irrelevant. and started a new thread: > `view A': > "if a player runs off the field and then back onto the > field, they are ineligible to receive the next pass." The rules do not support this view at all (as you thought). It is only your current points of contact, or if in the air your previous and next point of contact, that need to be considered. The rules for this are: 404.06 Out-of-Bounds: C. Receiving Players: Receiving players may not go out-of-bounds to make a play on the disc. For a receiver to be considered in-bounds at the time of gaining possession of the disc, the player's first point of contact with the ground must be completely in-bounds. If any portion of the first point of contact is out-of-bounds, the player is considered out-of-bounds. D. Definition Player: A player is out-of-bounds whenever he is contacting an out-of-bounds area. When a player is in the air, whether he is in or out-of-bounds is determined by where he last contacted the ground. -- Neil Travers - work <neil@texcel.no> Texcel (UK) Ltd, Braywick House West, Maidenhead, SL6 1DN, UK.
