Rule of the Ruler

After a heated altercation @ pickup re: 'disc space' turning into 'elbow space' into 'personal space' into 'how old are you?', here's a friendly reminder of da rules.

XIV. The Marker

B. Marking Violations:

3. Disc-space: If a line between any two points on the marker touches the thrower or is less than one disc diameter away from the torso or pivot of the thrower, it is a disc space violation. However, if this situation is caused solely by movement of the thrower, it is not a violation.

...

6. Only the thrower may call a marking violation, and to do so must call out the name of the specific marking violation.
7. When a marking violation is called, play does not stop. The violation must be corrected before the marker can resume the stall count with the number last uttered before the call minus one (e.g. stalling one…two.. fast count ..one…two…). If the marker resumes the stall count before correcting a marking violation, it is another instance of the original marking violation, which may be called by the thrower.
8. If a marker commits a marking violation after being called for a marking violation during the same stall count (XIV.A.1) but before the thrower is in the act of throwing, the thrower may choose to either call another marking violation or to treat the marking violation as a general defensive violation (XVI). To treat it as a general violation, the thrower must call violation.
