This sounds great in practice. However this is pretty tough because its not currently possible in disc golf scene and also assumes that every event uses disc golf scene and would follow this rule.

They register before them.

The rule says A player may obtain relief from the following obstacles that are on or behind the lie: harmful insects or animals, people, or any item as designated by the Director. To obtain relief, the player may mark a new lie that is on the line of play, farther from the target, at the...

This would require every TD to set up tiered registration. I would guess 50% of TDs would either forget out of error or simply set it up in some way wrong. I'm sure there is a coding process that would make this automated, but it's not a simple as saying "just give a week" Even if, other issues...
