Where does the stall count come in after a contested stall?
The stall count after a contested stall should come in at “stalling 8” (note that this is different from the previous edition of the rules). The reason for the change is that previously, there was a requirement for people to give a 1 second pause between the word “stalling” and the first number of their stall count, every time they re-initiated a count. Under this old rule, if it were applied correctly, a thrower would have 2 seconds to throw the disc after a contested stall (“stalling…9…10”). In the 11th edition, there is no longer a requirement to pause after the word “stalling”, so another second had to be re-introduced after a contested stall in order to preserve the 2 seconds the thrower is supposed to get (“stalling8…9…10”).
