Which of the following is a typical mechanism for dispute resolution after an on-field call cannot be resolved?

• A. Coaches make the decision on field
• B. The disc is returned to the previous spot and play resumes
• C. The defense challenges the call using video review
• D. The format’s rules provide a mechanism such as replay, reset, or pre-agreed procedure

Answer: (D)

Disputes after an on-field call are settled by a mechanism built into the format’s rules. When players can’t resolve a call on the field, the rules specify what happens next—commonly options like replaying the point, resetting the situation to before the call, or following a pre-agreed procedure (often involving observers or a captain’s decision). This provides a fair, consistent way to resolve disagreements and keep play moving smoothly. In contrast, having coaches decide on the field or relying on video review are not universal, standardized methods in most formats. The format’s rules and any agreed-upon procedures are what determine the outcome.
