Endzone Possession

Defending Endzone

If a team obtains possession in the endzone which it is defending, the player taking possession must make the immediate decision to either put the disc into play from the point he or she took possession or carry it directly to the closest point on the goal line from the point he or she took possession and put it into play from there. If the latter option is chosen, the player taking possession may not throw a pass until he or she is at the proper point at the goal line.

1. Faking or Pausing: If a player fakes or pauses after gaining possession within his or her endzone, said fake or pause shall be a commitment by the player that he or she will be putting the disc into play at the point he or she initially received possession.
2. Pass From Teammate: If, as a result of a pass from a teammate, a player receives a disc in the endzone which his or her team is defending, that player may not carry the disc to the goal line, but shall put the disc into play from the point of possession.

Endzone of Attack

If a team gains possession by interception in the endzone which it is attacking, the player taking possession shall carry the disc directly to the closest point on the goal line, from the point of possession, and put the disc into play from there.
