Scoring on a pull

    Hello!

    Just a quick clarification:

    in http://rules.wfdf.org/discussions/interpretations/111-scoring-from-a-pull#499 you say that it is possible to score a callahan on a pull, while in http://rules.wfdf.org/discussions/interpretations/133-pull-lands-in-the-endzone-of-the-pulling-team#581 you say it is not, as the disc cannot be defended.

    The latter one is more recent: can I share it as the correct interpretation?

    Sorry for being so punctilious! 😳

    7.7. No player on the defensive team may touch the disc after a pull until a member of the offensive team contacts the disc or the disc contacts the ground.

    According to 7.7. it’s not possible to score a Callahan on a pull.

    If an offensive player touches the disc (failing to catch it) and a defender catches it before touching the ground I guess that could be valid goal (Callahan).

    I am saying the same thing in both posts:
    1. By the rules it is a score.
    2. Philosophically, it should not be a score. The rules should potentially be rewritten here.

    About the other comment:
    we are talking about the receiving team catching the score on a really really really bad pull from the other team.
