[SUC] "Disc space" clarification

[Vu, Vu Anh]

Les, your english in the "Disc space" part is so...... professional and academic to me, I really don't understand what you meant, please use something more simple. Just tell me clearly what the defender must not do and the determination of the "disc space", i also don't understand the things about "line segment" or "thrower's fingertips" and whole thing in the bracket.

Subject: [SUC] "Disc space" clarification



Yo SUC! Yesterday's games were both fun-filled and competitive. Not only that, the right mix of intensity and competition on the field was observed quite well. We have also tried to learn more about proper rules. And by this I mean latest tourney rules (a.k.a. 11th edition UPA).

 

This is a reading of the 11th edition for us to rectify a violation from one of my co-team members (Team Yellow Submarine Boom Boom) --> no worries, our team is trying to do its house cleaning and we're looking at this constructively:

 

"Disc space" is now a marking/ defense violation. The new definition of disc space now includes provisions against wrapping one's arms around the thrower and straddling the pivot foot. This is done by defining disc space as the space between the thrower and "any line segment between two points of the marker's/ defender's body" (two points meaning the thrower's fingertips and the marker's/ defender's torso or arms). 

 

What's the benefit of knowing this? --> The fact that this is now a call has the added benefit that if the thrower is being fouled on the mark, he or she can choose to call the disc space violation instead of calling a foul.

 

Why it is better to call it a marking violation than a foul? --> A "marking violation" (e.g. disc space, fast count, double team, and vision blocking) can be called an unlimited number of times during a stall count. The marker/ defender then has to drop their count by one. Also, if a marking violation is called, the marker/ defender is not allowed to resume their count until he or she rectifies the violation.

 

I strongly encourage the team captains to explain the above to their members. And I promise to keep an eye on the actual applications of the 11th edition as we continue to see the sweet action of our very first Summer League. This is your ultimate wizard, saying "until the next reading of the 11th edition..."
