In the case of Holyn Handley's drive on 18 yesterday, her shot was very close to the out of bounds line. If it had been ruled by her cardmates that she didn't cross inbounds at any point, she would have had to re tee. She was given the spot as if she crossed in bounds.
I'm seeing TONS of people saying this is the correct call, because nobody on the card could legitimately see it close enough to make the call either way, therefore "benefit goes to the player"
1) It's my understanding that they should have looked at the disc, asked the spotter what happened, and each cast a vote what they thought happened. In that case if it tied 2-2, the benefit would go to Holyn.
2) What some people are saying is that if nobody makes a call at all, because they were too far away to be sure, that means that the call is 0-0 and therefore benefit goes to the player.
I guess I have two questions - is my interpretation of what should have happened correct, and is it possible for benefit goes to the player to apply to break a 0-0 tie?
