Every player, with the exception of the thrower, is entitled to occupy any position on the field not occupied by any opposing player, provided that he or she does not cause personal contact in taking such a position.
It is always the responsibility of all players to avoid contact in any way possible. Violent impact with legitimately-positioned opponents constitutes harmful endangerment, is a foul and must be strictly avoided.
No player may establish a position, or move in such a manner, so as to obstruct the movement of any player on the opposing team. In the event of a pick, the obstructed player shall immediately call "Pick," loudly. Play shall then be stopped and be resumed only after a check, with the stall count resuming from the point of interruption or to five if the count is over five.
All players shall have the right to the space immediately above them. Accordingly, a player cannot prevent an opponent from attempting to catch a pass by placing his or her arms above an opponent. If a player so places his or her arms, and contact occurs, a foul may be called.
Whenever the disc is in the air, all players shall play the disc in lieu of the opponent.
A player who has jumped is entitled to land at the same point without hindrance by opponents. He or she may also land at another point provided the landing point was not already occupied at the time of his or her takeoff and if the direct path between the takeoff and landing point was not already occupied at the time of takeoff.
