In a Frisbee game, the defender marking the player with the disc counts out loud to indicate the stall count, which is the maximum amount of time the offensive player can hold the disc before passing it. Typically, the count starts at one and goes up to ten, with the defender calling each number clearly. If the offensive player does not throw the disc before reaching ten, a turnover occurs, and the opposing team gains possession. This counting mechanism helps maintain the pace of the game and ensures fair play.
A ten count in ultimate frisbee refers to the defensive player counting to ten seconds while marking the player with the disc. The thrower must release the disc before the count reaches ten; failing to do so results in a turnover. The count is typically initiated when the defender is within a certain distance of the thrower, and it helps to promote quick play and prevent stalling.
There are two defenders with different names. A defender guarding the offensive handler is known as the marker. He marks the disc. A defender anywhere else is just a defender. No special name.
If a player on defense catches a disc or hits it to the ground, then possession changes. The player may continue play going the opposite direction. If the disc hits the ground, any player may pick it up on his or her team to continue play. This is similar to an interception in American football.
When a player holds the frisbee for ten seconds or more, it is referred to as a "stall." In Ultimate Frisbee, players are only allowed to hold the disc for a maximum of ten seconds before they must either pass it or lose possession. A defender may count the stall count aloud to ensure compliance with this rule. If the player does not throw the disc within the allotted time, it results in a turnover.
An offensive player makes what is known as a cut. It is basically an L shaped run; a player runs in a direction, and then makes a sharp turn into an opposite direction to attempt to break away from their defender.
Just as in basketball, a pick is when a defensive player is cut off from the person she/he is defending, usually when that person runs so close to another player that the defender is "picked off." Unlike basketball, it is illegal, mainly because it can be dangerous when players are running at top speed. If a pick is called, play stops and the defender is allowed to catch up. If the offensive player that did the picking catches the disc, they have to send it back to the thrower and the defender is allowed to catch up.
no because that would be cheating, gosh read the rule book
