To take the holing out wording change into absurdity, because, well, why the hell not.
B. In order to complete a hole with a basket target, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the tray or the chains below the chain support.
If I decide to make a new basket exactly the same as our usual DGUK Castle basket but with chains hanging on down through the cage towards the ground and another ring holding them at ground height this would still meet PDGA approval ( as far as I can see) and if the chains under the basket caught a disc this would count as holed out as per above wording?
It feels like a wording change to get rid of the issues with extremely rare wedged discs or discs balancing on the cage may have opened up more issues than it solves. Wedgies on new baskets are nigh on never happens so why are we writing rules for antiquated equipment which will be less and less used going forward, why not make the top level basket specs a bit more stringent instead to stop the issue?
