:doh: It took me a minute to figure out "lie" in the thread title wasn't the falsehood of being in bounds. If a course has OB marked with a painted line and any part of the disc touches the OB line, then your disc is in bounds.
In tourneys around here, paved roads and paved paths are often considered OB. Most TDs here advise taking a pencil and jabbing it into the ground around the disc. If the pencil hits pavement, its OB. If the pencil hits and penetrates the dirt, you're OK (group decision willing). On water holes with OB, most TDs around here advise to press the disc straight down. If the outer edge of the entire disc is surrounded by water then you're OB. Also, if you're in, don't forget to place your mini one meter in from the OB as you cannot throw with any contacting point being out of bounds.
