Running up to a disc?
- Thread starter Iman522

Yes, you can run up to (and past) your lie. You can do the same while on the tee. The only thing that matters is that the disc is out of your hands by the time you pass your mark and that your foot (or some other supporting point) is on the line of play when your do.
That is what your mini is for. Place it down where your disc was then you can step back and run up, just don't step past that mini when you throw or it is a penalty.

For putting, you can't step forward until the disc hits the chains, right? Otherwise it's a foot fault?

Must show balance.
You can't step past your marker until your disc comes to a rest, from 30 feet in. 10 meters is over 50 feet.

10 m = 32.8083 feet.
Correct. I meant over 30 feet, excuse my typo.

Most due assume that it is 30' when really is it almost 33'. Keep that in mind when someone paces out 30' for their jump putt, need to pace out 33' to be safe...

nevermind I just read your correction haha. i was going to say FAIL.
I wish more people used the correct terms and knew the rules better. There are many people think its 30 and it drives me crazy when guys say "is this 30?" "Well yes it is but its not outside, so no you cant jump"

i think you have to stay behind it until the release , and i dont think you can step on it before either.
Dont feel like looking it up though.

Below, straight out of the PDGA rules manual should answer all questions. Yeah, I know it boring but it is the straight answer.
A. When the disc is released, a player must:
(1) Have at least one supporting point that is in contact with the playing surface on the line
of play and within 30 centimeters directly behind the marker disc (except as specified in
803.04 E); and,
(2) have no supporting point contact with the marker disc or any object closer to the hole
than the rear edge of the marker disc; and,
(3) have all of his or her supporting points in-bounds.
B. Stepping past the marker disc is permitted after the disc is released, except when
putting within 10 meters.
C. Any throw from within 10 meters or less, as measured from the rear of the marker disc
to the base of the hole, is considered a putt. A follow-through after a putt that causes the
thrower to make any supporting point contact closer to the hole than the rear edge of the
marker disc constitutes a falling putt and is considered a stance violation . The player must demonstrate full
control of balance before advancing toward the hole.
D. A player must choose the stance that will result in the least movement of any part of any
obstacle that is a permanent or integral part of the course.
E. If a large solid obstacle prevents a player from taking a legal stance within 30 centimeters
directly behind the marker disc, the player shall take his or her stance immediately
behind that obstacle on the line of play. The player must comply with all the provisions of
803.04 A other than being within 30 centimeters directly behind the marker disc.
