Any time an infraction is called, the continuation rule applies. Continuation Rule: Play stops when the thrower in possession acknowledges that an infraction has been called. If a call is made when the disc is in the air or the thrower is in the act of throwing, or if the thrower fails to acknowledge the call and subsequently attempts a pass, play continues until the outcome of that pass is determined. For the purpose of the continuation rule, an uncontested stall that occurs after another call is treated the same as an incomplete pass . Play then either stops or continues according to the following conditions:

This refers to the thrower who possesses the disc or has just released the disc at the time of the infraction/call. Who the thrower (II.T.5) is determined at the time of the infraction/call.Thus, if you get stalled before you acknowledge a call, it is treated the same as if you ignored the call and threw a turnover.

If the infraction occurred before the thrower was in the act of throwing (II.T.3):

For example, there is no "free throw" if a thrower is fouled before beginning the throwing motion. Any completed pass will come back and any turnover will stand. Marking violations called by name are not addressed in the Continuation Rule because they do not stop play.
