What action is required to consider the disc possessed after a catch?

• A. The Thrower declares possession
• B. The disc lands in the end zone
• C. The throw is completed to a teammate
• D. The catcher fully stops rotation

Answer: (D)

Gaining possession after a catch comes down to the catcher securing the disc with clear control. The moment the catcher holds the disc firmly and the disc stops rotating in their hands, possession is established and the stall count resets. This shows the disc is under the thrower’s teammate’s control, allowing them to pivot and throw. The other options don’t signal possession: the thrower doesn’t declare possession, the disc landing in the end zone is about scoring rather than who holds the disc, and simply completing a throw to a teammate happens after possession has already been established.
