So actually another question! Nothing here seems to say you CANT play on an obstacle. What am I missing?
The lie is the place on the playing surface upon which the player takes a stance in order to throw. The playing surface is a surface, generally the ground, which is capable of supporting...
That helps! Thanks for the discussion everyone! I think it would be much less confusing if there were a more detailed definition section in the rules somewhere as some of the rules are pretty wide open to interpretation from how they are written which can make it hard to use a rule correctly.
Yeah it was a casual round so we weren't that worried about forcing him in. He did try but he couldn't get behind where the disc had landed in the bush without being on top of the bush. My question is more what specific rule/rules designate that he wouldn't be allowed to stand on the bush since...

This happened in a casual round and I'm wondering how to play it out by the rules. Players disc landed on a large bush. The branches of the bush were thick enough that he couldn't take a stance behind it on the ground. He stood on the bush about 4 feet in the air to throw. Is that legal or...
