I have to say I am amazed at this debate that clogs up my In tray.
Unequivocaly if you drop a pull you have screwed up. As a handler it is a
fundamental error which if committed early on in your career should be
punished by an opposing team, and which you should not hear the end of from
your teammates for at least 3 tourneys (I should know!).

A few points:

1) If you are designated to receive the pull concentration on the catch
begins as soon as the disc is in the air. You follow it and catch it (if in
bounds).

2) Huge advantage is to be gained by an early catch and a few rapid passes
to get play moving; thus a punishment is inevitable for screwing this up!

3)It is really not that hard to catch a pull!!! If you mess up there's a
spot for you with Jim Hoad in the Marines!

4)If you insist on playing indoors where teams will throw 100mph guts
throws as pulls and it pisses you off.... see the light (yup, spring is
almost here), convince your team to play outdoors... relish in the lack of
injuries you incur, and develop your aspirations for a more competetive
outdoor side.

Love your grass,
