Chris Webber Moment in AUDL? Nope. The AUDL Refs Goofed Up.

What appeared to be a similar situation as when Chris Webber put his hands together formed the letter "T"with his hands was actually not.  The DC Breeze (2-2) had a chance to beat New York (4-0) on the Empire's home turf in the regular season. Rowan McDonnell called a timeout in sudden death (2OT) which - by rule - DC Breeze had, but the referees deemed the team did not...so it was a turnover at the goal line, and the Empire scored on their next throw; 26-25.

The sudden death, double overtime ending of @thedcbreeze at @empireultimate was WILD

- DC down 2, 1min left in regulation
- NY down 1 under 1min in first OT
- DC has disc with chance to win in 2OT, calls timeout they don't have#AUDL2019 pic.twitter.com/Td5WYE0QKU

D.C. Breeze managing partner Don Grage (who also served on the AUDL rules committee) called out the incorrect ruling on Twitter as a "Tough Loss indeed."

According to the 2018 rulebook, each team has exactly 1 timeout in each and every overtime period.

From the game's recap:

Even so, according to our player survey conducted in late 2018, the majority of AUDL players are not quite "very familiar" with the American Ultimate Disc League rules.
