In sports, a foul is a violation of the rules and can occur unintentionally. It is possible for a player to commit a foul without intending to do so. This can happen due to a lack of skill, poor judgment, or accidentally making contact with an opponent. Therefore, it is true that a foul does not need to be intentional to be considered a foul.

A disc is "down" as soon as it hits any part of the ground, whether it be a blade of grass or a dandelion.
That said, captains can agree before the game to allow the disc to hit dandelions without being considered "down."

Submit

There is no continuation after the initial catch by Ben. There is no way for a turnover to result from these circumstances.
After a call is made, only the first throw is subject to turnover. If that throw is completed, play stops.
NOTE: there is NO continuation on injury calls. play stops immediately when injury is called.

Submit

Now, it depends on what the defender says.

the defender should assert whether or not he/she was within 3 meters of you when the pick occurred.

if no, pick call must be retracted. END
if yes, CONTINUE

the defender should assert whether or not they felt he/she could have made a play on the disc.

if no, you keep disc, defender recovers "relative position" END

if yes, disc goes back to thrower. you stay where you caught the disc. defender recovers "relative position" END

12. The disc is turned over on spot C. Where can the offense initiate play?

Explanation

The offense can start at point B, but also has the option of using point C. However, once a player picks up the disc at point C and establishes a pivot, he/she must stay there.
Likewise, once that player starts a motion toward point B, he/she must use point B.

14. Your game is about to start. It's Spring League. The other team has only 6 of its rostered players and wants to let somebody's friend play with them. He is a beginner. On a scale of 1-6, he would be a 2.5. At least one of their missing players is a 3. Should your team let him play?

Explanation

With only 6 players, no permission is needed from the opposing captain. The only requirement is that the substitute be a currently registred MUFA player.

Mufa rules Section 2.1
"2.1. All single-gender leagues – captains may recruit MUFA Players to play in place of missing players until there are 9 people on the team. Permission from the opponent's captain is NOT required. The sub must be of equal or lesser rating than the person they are subbing for, and of the appropriate gender. The sub must also be of equal or lesser ability, regardless of the sub's rating i.e. it is against the rules to substitute a stronger player for a weaker one, no matter what the ratings of the two people are."
