travel call
If a travel is called but the disc is thrown, must the offense catch it to retain possession or do they keep the disc even if the catch is incomplete?

Offense must catch it to retain possession.
XVI. C
Any time an infraction is called, the continuation rule applies. Continuation Rule: Play stops when the thrower in possession acknowledges that an infraction has been called. If a call is made when the disc is in the air or the thrower is in the act of throwing, or if the thrower fails to acknowledge the call and subsequently attempts a pass, play continues until the outcome of that pass is determined. For the purpose of the continuation rule, an uncontested stall that occurs after another call is treated the same as an incomplete pass.
Play then either stops or continues according to the following conditions:
For calls made by the thrower:
If the infraction occurred before the thrower was in the act of throwing (II.T.3):
If the pass was incomplete, play continues un-halted. Players should announce play on.
If the pass was complete, play stops and possession reverts to the thrower.
Note that continuation is for 1 pass only. So if for some reason, a travel was called, the thrower passed the disc to a receiver, who caught it, turned around and threw a second pass that was incomplete, the disc would still go back to the ORIGINAL thrower, as that second pass happened when play was halted.
