[BD] Rules

[Felix]

Belatedly, I still think it's a score, because the "Strip foul" is
defined as "A defensive foul that causes the receiver or thrower to
drop the disc after they have gained possession" - no mention of the
disc actually being directly contacted by the defender.

The whole "was it a strip or was it a foul?" question often asked
after an uncontested defensive foul/violation causes a dropped disc in
the endzone (to determine whether it's a score or whether the disc
gets played from the front of the zone), is now redundant - it doesn't
matter whether the D contacted specifically the player or the disc -
if they caused the drop AFTER the receiver gained possession then it's
a score.  I guess the question isn't totally redundant, instead it
should be rephrased to "was possession gained before the strip?" -
assuming everybody knows a strip doesn't necessarily mean any contact
with the disc.

I agree about the 'stallingone!' often heard though... combined with
starting the stall before a pivot foot is established, this can easily
take 2 seconds off the stall.
