QA-APP-4: My group thinks my disc is OB, but I think it's unclear. Doesn't benefit of the doubt go to the player? I'm safe, right? Benefit of the doubt only comes into play as a tiebreaker when the group cannot make a decision, for example if two players see the disc as safe and two see it as...

This is the conundrum. If we explicitly define it as majority of players on the card, then if someone is not deciding one way or the other, there can't be a majority on a four person card where the thrower doesn't get to decide. If we explicitly define it as a majority of those voting, then some...

Know the rules: 803.02.A A player may obtain relief from the following obstacles: harmful insects or animals,...

Pretty much. I'd vote to allow players to violate the Dress code and take shoes/socks off to play from casual water. But that's Comp Committee not RC.

The one thing that is also relevant is the difference between still water and moving water. In the still water case, if you are looking for a disc someplace and you can't find it, you must be looking in the wrong place, so that can't be where the disc is. In the moving water case, you aren't...

Just wanted to make sure people noted the difference between what is and what could be. :) Here's what I currently put in the course rules for this weekend: Hole 17: Left or long of the white stakes is OB. Optional DZ may be used for lost discs or throws that go OB. That at least takes care of...

I'm running an event at Northwoods this weekend. If those creeks are still rapids, I'll probably make them a Relief Area. N.B. For others following relief areas under the current rules are not optional. (806.04).

805.01.A A thrown disc establishes a position where it first comes to rest. 805.01.B A thrown disc is considered to be at rest when it first stops moving. A disc in water or foliage is considered to be at rest when it is moving only as a result of movement of the water, the foliage, or the wind...

The rules treat Relief Areas as penalty free OB areas, so all of the rules for OB also apply to Relief Areas Casual Areas are different from OB in a couple ways and this leads to some of the differences with regards to lost discs. OB areas may prohibit a player from entering that area, so...

This is why for stuff like marshes and nasty areas, TDs should consider marking the area OB so that no one is required to go in that area.

At DGPT events, caddies have been dismissed before the round because they were not following the dress code. Make sure you read the new section 4 in the Competition Manual if you are caddying at a DGPT event.

DGPT use the PDGA digital scorecard. Udisc is just for stats.

I completely agree, but was out voted.

So that's the thing the direction to the basket should not determine whether or not a surface is a playing surface. Either it is or it isn't.

I have in the past given instructions to players for some courses that if they are not able to stay put on a surface without sliding, it is not a playing surface.

That's about right. They are very popular. I see local Flex events with 125+ players happen regularly. Last year there was one run in the Chicago area on NYE and another on NYD on the same course. 200+ players each day.

One round event where people show up at random times during the day, form a group (often with people they know), and then play a sanctioned round. Groups can have a mix of divisions in them.

The plan was not the same as the D-tiers of old, but a separate tier for flex events which violate the current rules for C tiers.

This scenario happens in smaller protected pro divisions: Amateurs will play up in a pro division so that the there is a division for the pro. It might be a division of one "real" pro and multiple amateurs. They wanted to play with the particular pro or the pro offered to subsidize the Am's...

I have run an event at Northwood in Morton the last couple of years the first week of May (and will be doing so again this coming year the weekend after the Champions Cup). The course actually holds up pretty well. Some of the spots between holes can be a little slick if there are spring rains...
