While I agree with this logic, this statement is not reflected in the rules. Rather, in the above mentioned bit from the q&a, the statement is in fact proven false. Note that the routes from b to c are across the Mando line, which is in line from the lie to the basket. I am not finding...

Careful....seems like more and more public figures are getting trouble for haphazardly sending disc-pics around

My opinion stems from the following rule in the competition manual, under TD responsibilities. "Failure to properly report the results of an event or to meet the financial obligations of the event may lead to further disciplinary action including the suspension of the Tournament Director’s...

Indeed, there will be cardmates who may or may not remember to inform the TD, nor should it be their duty (only good favor) to do so. My point was to suggest that there may be another side to the story in a minority of cases, and players should not be assumed to have left for malfeasant reasons.

Those who say "not informing the TD in any case is grounds for an 888, since the TD doesn't know if it's an emergency or not"- if it's a true emergency, I for one would not waste time trying to find a TD or official. There should be some impetus on the TD to follow up with the player if able to...

I hear reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue. Blame is likely to be split on multiple parties, including regulations, bad TD's, whiny players who want participation trophies, etc. In the end, the market should dictate what happens to the prices. Seems like until amateurs stop...

I do find it amusing that the only people who are fulminantly against this are males. How does this affect you? Why, in your heart of hearts, is this really bothering you this much?

TBH, I preferred the "noob" review more, while certainly appreciating the thought that went into the other one Maybe it's just me, but all I care about is someone's global rating of a course. I really don't care much about an in depth description of a part of a single hole. If that's what...

If the mini is down in front of the previously thrown disc, and then said disc is picked up, in order for the foot to be on the lie it would practically have to be on the disc getting picked up. You must be rather flexible. Your argument is another example of someone trying to find a ridiculous...

At some point, these very outlier "what ifs" take away from any semblance of logic when reading and applying rules If someone was good enough to confidently tombstone at a spot by the basket the size of a disc or mini, why wouldn't they just throw it in the basket?

Indeed. Auto correct is a pain. So is not catching said auto correct 🤔

I was watching the first round, front 9 of the "winter warm up" by GK productions yesterday and watched this scenario unfold: There is an area of out of bounds past the basket, but this area is downhill from the tee and and basket, thus the players cannot see shortly distant to the basket...

the term "standards" in this post is ironic.

Interesting, although I can't imagine there being swaths of holes in disc golf that are free from obstruction and nearly flat

Jc, Thanks for clarifying. I do disagree on it being difficult to find horizontal distance- Google maps does this quite well unless the user cannt discern a basket/tee location on the map itself. Accurately finding the added or subtracted difference in distance is relatively easy as long as...
