[BD] Fw: Re: How would you react?

[Steven Hunter]

Surely if you are the one who has called a pick and you realise that your call did not affect the play then you should decline it anyway, whether it was a turnover OR a point?> Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:53:43 +0100> From: indoorsdoc at ukultimate.com> To: derrykboyd at yahoo.com; britdisc at ranulf.net> Subject: Re: [BD] Fw: Re: How would you react?> > Derryk Boyd wrote:> > In the scenario you described 17.2 or 17.3 do not apply, therefore the rules starte quite clearly that there cannot be a turnover, it should also mean that any completed pass should be returned regardless of wether the call affected play.
