Traveling: The thrower must establish and continually maintain a pivot at the appropriate spot on the field until the throw is released. Failure to do so is a travel and is resolved according to 17.K.3, below.

Resolved according to 17.K.3 only if the travel is called, otherwise play continues uninterrupted.

If the travel occurs and a pass is thrown:

17.K.3.a.2

If the pass is complete, play stops and the disc is returned to the thrower where the travel occurred (as per the Continuation Rule, 17.C.4.a.1). Play restarts with a check.

The spot where the travel occured is the spot on the field where the thrower's pivot would have been had they not traveled. If the thrower threw from either the end zone or out of bounds, and their pivot was more than one step from the appropriate spot, the following procedure is used instead: First, the disc is checked in where the thrower threw the pass, making it live, then the thrower walks to the appropriate spot for their pivot and puts the disc in play. At this point, the stall count may resume.
