Hi, I have observed a recurring play in even high-level matches where:
1. The disc goes out-of-bounds, and the offense team calls “Brick”.
2. An offensive player (#1) picks up the disc.
3. #1 passes the disc to teammate #2 waiting on the brick mark.
4. #2 waits for a check from a defensive player before the game restarts.
While this speeds up gameplay, I haven’t found a rule explicitly confirming its legality.
since the “Brick” call can be made by any offensive player and someone else can pick it up, the marker guarding #1 could technically anticipate their intent and immediately move to mark them at the brick mark.
The current format, can potentially lead to unsportsmanlike conduct, as the defender marking #1 might constantly wait them at the brick mark assuming they will initiate the play.
To prevent this situation, I propose introducing the requirement for a check on player #2, if he is not the player who picked up the disc. Until such a rule is implemented, could you please clarify the current interpretation of this situation?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
