	Incidentally - I had an official response about the question of
where the disc is played from if the pull rolls out of the back of the
endzone.  Apparently nobody had thought of that!  And so they'll be amending
things once they've worked out what to do!  Ooops.

	Actually Wigs landed OB - ie didn't make an in-bounds reception.

	Exactly my point.  But if he doesn't have possession, how can
dropping the disc result in a turnover.  It can't.

	What if he has control, hits the ground, and then drops?  Double
turnover?  No.  The rule that allowed the so-called "double-turnover" was
removed (as I understand it).  It certainly is a grey-area - and the
D-player would be well-advised to retain possession, get up onto his feet,
and give the disc to his handler who will (by then) be standing 5 yards
behind and to the left of him imploring him to throw a dump! :)
