[BD] stall re-set clarifications

Yes, but if they do that, then don't yell 'Travel' - instead yell 
'Violation' claiming they violated 401 "Spirit of the Game" which states "It 
is assumed that no ultimate player will intentionally violate the rules".

On violations, you don't reset the stall count, just re-start play with a 
check:
(404.17 Stoppage of Play: A. General: Whenever an infringement of the rules 
or a time-out occurs, play is halted and the disc is put back into play with 
a check at the point of the last possession before play was stopped, except 
as otherwise provided by these rules. )

In all seriousness, this is actually another point that does lead to 
confusion at times - Violations don't reset the stall count as far as I can 
see - they are not Fouls ("404.13 Fouls: A. Definition: Fouls are the result 
of physical contact between opposing players).

So when you have a 'straddle' or a 'disc width distance' violation called 
agaisnt the marker (404.11 A clauses 1, 2, and 3) - you don't reset the 
stall count (unless there was contact which could constitute a foul).
