What is a travel ?

Here are 3 types of travels: -When the thrower lifts or drags his pivot foot before releasing the disc -The receiver speeds up, changes direction or takes more steps than is obviously needed to slow down after making a catch -A receiver throws the disc on the run (Exception: A receiver is allowed to throw a disc on the run if they can do it before their 3rd ground contact after catching the disc) A few points about travels: -A travel Does Not mean an automatic turnover -If a travel is called and the disc is thrown, all players should still play the disc. If the defense gets a block it is a turnover, if the offense catches the disc it goes back to the thrower -If a travel is called and the disc has not been thrown, then it is Not a turnover and should be checked into play. - On a travel the stall count comes in at the last count reached reached plus one if the count was 5 or lower, and in at 6 if the count was 6 or higher. - In indoor play (where stall count is reduced to 7) the stall count after a travel comes in at a maximum of 4 (instead of 6).
