Moved disc question
 

Here is a situation that came up this weekend:

Playing #2 at Cat Hollow (sorry, I am too lazy/stupid to post a link), the basket is visible but the landing zone is not. I threw a pretty good drive with a white star Mako, and another guy threw a good drive with a black Aviar. As we approach our lies, a guy from the group at the #3 tee says "that black disc hit that white one and knocked it six feet away from the basket."

My understanding of the rule is that a disc at rest that is moved by another disc should be placed back in its original position. However, none of us actually saw it, so I played it from where it was, and hit the birdie (six feet shouldn't really matter, right? :D)

So I think we played it correctly, since none of us actually saw the disc being moved. But if we had seen it, could I move my disc back to its original lie?

Feel free to Prerube.

I'm not sure there is a right or wrong answer here. I think it's reasonable to play it either way. If you have good reason to believe your disc was moved, and this is confirmed by other players, then you should have no qualms about moving the disc back to where you believe it was.

Off the top of my head, I'd guess that if your group believes the information, you would put the disc back. Is there anything that says the disc must be seen at rest by a member of the group, or if moved, must be witnessed by a member of the group?

Excerpt, for reference:

^^This seems to suggest yes, move it back.

I would say this is no different than if some unknowing bypasser picked it up to give it back to you, in the mistaken belief they were helping you out. :)

Repostion where the group majority believes to be the most reasonable position.
