Question from the PDGA rules exam:
Player N throws a drive that lands in the woods close to an out-of-bounds (OB) line. He goes over, marks his lie and quickly throws before anyone in his group can verify that his disc was in-bounds. How should the group proceed?
I answered A They should give Player N the benefit of the doubt and play on.
The correct answer was "Player N's lie is considered to be OB, for which he receives a one-throw penalty, and they play on."
I can't work out where in the rules this is talked about. What am I missing that goes above benefit of the doubt to the player?
