1. The player does not receive a penalty throw as described in 806.02.D.
2. Because the player does not receive a penalty throw, they may not take optional line of play relief without penalty described in 806.02.D.2.
3. The player may not play from the previous lie as described in 806.02.D.1. They may still abandon their throw with penalty under 809.01.
