1. 9.1. The marker administers a stall count on the thrower by announcing “Stalling” and then counting from one (1) to ten (10).  The interval between the start of each number in the stall count must be at least one (1) second.
2. 9.2. The stall count must be clearly communicated to the thrower.
3. 9.3. The marker may only start and continue a stall count when:
5. 9.3.1. Play is live, or until a pivot is established after a turnover;
6. 9.3.2. They are within three (3) metres of the thrower's pivot point, or the pivot location if the thrower is not at the location; and
7. 9.3.3. All defenders are legally positioned (Section 18.1).
8. 9.4. If the marker moves beyond the appropriate three (3) metre radius, or a different player becomes the marker, the stall count must be restarted at "Stalling one (1)".
9. 9.5. After a stoppage in play the stall count is resumed as follows:
10. 9.5.1. After an accepted breach by the defence the stall count restarts at "Stalling one (1)".
11. 9.5.2. After an accepted breach by the offence the stall count restarts at maximum nine
    (9).
12. 9.5.3. After a contested stall-out the stall count restarts at "Stalling eight (8)".
13. 9.5.4. After all other calls, including "pick", the stall count restarts at maximum six (6). However:
14. 9.5.4.1. If there is a call involving the thrower, and a separate receiving breach, and the disc is returned to the thrower, the stall count is resumed based on the outcome of the call involving the thrower.
15. 9.5.4.2. If there is a violation called related to The Check (Section 10), the stall count resumes at the same count that was determined prior to that violation.
3. 9.6. To restart a stall count “at maximum n”, where “n” is determined by 9.5.2, 9.5.4, or 20.3.6, means the following:
4. 9.6.1. If "x" is the last agreed number fully uttered prior to the call, then the stall count resumes at “Stalling (x plus one)” or “Stalling n”, whichever of those two numbers is lower.
