Hello,
is it absolutely necessary to say the word “ten” for a stall-out to be valid?
When the marker says “…eight…nine…stall-out” it wouldn´t be a stall-out even if “s” of stall-out has been uttered correctly one second after nine?
One could argue that the interpretations of 8.1.3 indicate that uttering the “wrong” word doesn´t mean a call is invalid.
What do you think?
Interpretation | 8.1.3.

What:
A player signals a foul or violation and yells “stop” or uses the incorrect name for a call.
Result:
The call should be dealt with as if the player has used the correct call.
Why:
It is clear that the player has seen a breach of the rules. This takes precedence over the technicality of knowing the correct term.
Extra:
The player who used the wrong term should make it a point to learn the correct term (Rule 1.3.1) and more experienced players should tell them the correct call (Rule 1.8 ).
