What is a strip in Ultimate?

• A. It is a foul for stepping out of bounds
• B. It is called when a defender knocks the disc from the thrower's hand
• C. It is the act of running with the disc
• D. It is a pass that is incomplete

Answer: (B)

A strip is a defensive turnover where a defender knocks the disc out of the thrower’s hand before the throw is released. When this happens, the offense loses possession immediately and the disc goes to the defense. It’s a legal defensive maneuver when no foul is committed, and it ends the attempt because the throw is not completed.

That’s why this option is the best answer: it directly describes the defender knocking the disc from the thrower’s hand. The other statements refer to different situations—stepping out of bounds is about boundaries, running with the disc isn’t the act of removing the disc, and an incomplete pass is simply a throw that fails to complete to a teammate.
