While the team in possession of the disc seeks to advance the disc toward the endzone it is attacking, the opposing team seeks to thwart advancement and obtain possession by forcing a turnover.
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, the team throwing-off regains possession of the disc where it stops.
If, as a result of a pass from a teammate, a player receives a disc in the endzone which his team is defending, that player may not carry the disc to the goal line, but shall put the disc into play from the point of possession.
