While checking out the WUCC99 web page, I came across the new WFDF rule
changes they propose to use for WUCC.  Most of the new rules and changes
are about timings after points and timeouts, but at the end of the page I
came across this shocker.

Failing to catch after touching (Replacement rule 404.05 D (8) 

Whenever a member of the receiving team touches the disc during its flight
(whether in or
out-of bounds) and the receiving team subsequently fails to catch the disc
prior to its
touching the ground, any member of the receiving team can pick up the disc
from where it
stops.

This replaces current rule 404.05.D (8). 

NOTE: this means you can drop the pull and still keep possession.

The full list of rule changes are on the WUCC99 web page
