Consistency for stall count

    Hi,
    The current status for when players can start counting after a travel call (before a throw occurs) 18.2.6.2. seems inconsistent with rule 11.6 out of bounds status of the disc and 9.3.2.

    My interpretation currently is as follows:
    – if a player catches the disc and runs out of bounds, the defender can immediately start the stall count, and the thrower might find themselves on stall count 2/3 when establishing the pivot point
    – if a travel occurs, the stall count stops, and the players should reestablish as quickly as possible

    Since there is no stoppage and the play is not dead, I think this is inconsistent and a handicap for the defence. The offence is already breaching a rule, but no consequences are in place due to the stall count not happening.

    Thank you
