A turn ends when a tackle is set. Players with unrestricted arm functions do this by touching the player with their hand, players with restricted arm functions tackle through chair-chair contact. If a pass is thrown at a player with restricted arm function, it is deemed to have been caught if it has had contact with the hand or forearm, while players with unrestricted arm functions must catch the ball safely with their hands.
