I'm going to be incredibly nerdy here but I don't care :P I've just noticed....the 2002 rules said...
# D. Strip: No defensive player may touch the disc while it is in the possession of the thrower or receiver. If a defensive player does so, causing the thrower or receiver to drop the disc, the player who was in possession of the disc calls, "Strip." 1. The player formerly in possession of the disc regains possession at the point where the strip occurred and play shall resume via a check. 2. If a stall count was in progress as the disc was stripped, the count is reset to zero. 3. A contested strip of the receiver is treated the same as a contested catching foul; an uncontested strip in the end zone is a goal. New (2009) / 2008 rules say: 17.5. Strip Fouls: 17.5.1. A Strip Foul occurs when a defensive foul causes the receiver or thrower to drop the disc after they have gained possession. 17.5.2. If the reception would have otherwise been a goal, and the foul is uncontested, a goal is awarded. It seems that a lot of people are still playing the top rule any contact and the disc gets dropped = strip, but in fact it must be a defensive foul that causes a strip.
