Speed point score - bring up the disc or not?

[puddlz81]

Hey everyone

There has been lots of discussions during outdoor fall league about what to do when a point is scored in speed point...is the disc walked up to the line or played where it's caught?

Is the rule different in rec vs intermediate?

Thanks!!

SUMMARY

Speedpoint Outdoor - Offense's Choice - Play from where it was scored OR Bring it up to the line
Speedpoint Indoor - Play it from where it was scored (unless specified in your league rules)

Here is the OUTDOOR rule:

http://www.tuc.org/Leagues/Fall-Outdoor ... oint-Rules

There is no pull after a point. When a team scores, the receiving player acknowledges that he/she has scored a goal and the disc is immediately placed on the ground. The offensive team has 8 seconds to take possession of the disc. Per UPA 11 edition the offensive team has the choice to play the disc where it lies (tap in disc and it is live) or walk the disc up to the front of the goal line, straight ahead from where the disc was scored. The offense must put it into play on the goal line within 8 seconds of picking the disc up, at which point the stall count begins.

NOTE: THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM INDOOR. So take note in the coming weeks as we transition indoors.

INDOOR RULE as follows:
http://www.tuc.org/Fall-Indoor-Rules/

There is no pull after a point. When a team scores, the receiving player acknowledges that he/she has scored a goal and the disc is immediately placed on the ground (upon scoring, the scorer should endeavour to place the disc on the ground nearest where the point was scored). The offense must put it into play from where it was placed by the scoring team (live disc) and cannot walk the disc up to the front of the goal line, UNLESS specifically communicated by the TUC Leagues Chair (potential exceptions for Rec or Youth Leagues, etc). The offensive team has 8 seconds to take possession of the disc. After 8 seconds elapse, a defensive player within three meters of the disc may announce "disc in" and then initiate and continue the stall count, but only if a defensive player has given audible warnings of eight and four seconds (pre-stall).
