    Rule 13.2.5 states that in attempting a pass, the thrower catches the disc after release prior to the disc being contacted by another player (a “self-catch”)

    In a game situation, if I throw the disc and then, after release, I tip or deflect the disc without catching it, allowing my teammate to make the catch, is this considered a legal play, or would it result in a turnover?

    Self-catch turnovers (13.2.5)
    (…)
    Extra If the disc is accidentally released during the throwing motion as part of a fake attempt, the thrower cannot catch the disc unless it has been touched by another player.
    The thrower may touch a disc they have thrown, for example to prevent an opponent from catching it, or to tap it to a teammate. If the thrower does catch their own pass, the turnover location is where the thrower is when they caught the pass.
