Drop-ins

[garublador]

(I'm a total beginner and have read through the rule book once. A more experienced player gave me a hard time for doing this, and I was happy to be corrected as I'm a noob. But when I asked about the rule, he couldn't really cite one. It didn't sound familiar, but I may have over looked it.)

When I first started the guys that introduced me to the sport swore up and down that if the disc ended up hanging in the chains it was a 1 stroke penalty.

Lots of good responses here. Thanks. I think my question has been answered in that there is no specific rule about a player's hand crossing any plane (like goaltending in basketball). I will keep placing my disc into the basket, while maintaining balance, and not using the basket as a point of support at time of release. If my buddy tries to call me on it, I'll ask him to show me the rule.

If your buddy tries to call you on a drop in, sorry but he's being a dick.
