Ah c'mon. Physics is far more interesting. Check out the phase diagram of water on wiki. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

This is why water itself can't be deemed a playing surface, but ice and snow can potentially be a playing surface. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I agree. When my disc lands tucked up behind a tree, I often don't mark with a mini. The extra few inches away from the tree can really help with the line/swing/follow through. And as of 1st Jan if you've marked with a mini but want to change your mind you can replace the thrown disc.

Yes! If it was only within a division there would be problems when a division only had a few players.

I think Steve's explanation is the correct one. But in practical terms is anyone going to be able to tell if you beat up your disc in a tumble dryer or by throwing multiple rounds?

Being OB and lost is a special case scenario, with its own rule governing it. Normally, when the disc is not lost, crossing the OB plane is only trivially involved because it is physically impossible to enter an enclosed area without crossing the threshold. The rule as written defines the disc...

Bill, OB is determined by where the disc comes to rest, not the route it took to get there. So multiple penalties didn't come into it in this case. It doesn't matter if your disc flies over several distinct OB areas en route - it only makes where it comes to rest. So there is no working out...

I'm in the UK, and up to two weeks ago our highest rated player was 970ish. This means that all of our Advanced level players (935+) tend to choose to play in MPO. Now, this could create a 'vacumn' in ADV and suck all the INT players up into it. And the REC players into INT, and NOV players into...

This strikes me as a shame.

Hah! I was reading the upcoming rule changes and spotted an excellent update to the Hazards rule. Currently a disc must be completely surrounded by OB to be OB. But it must also be completely surrounded by a Hazard Area for it to be in a Hazard. Which means in my OP if a disc landed on the...

Exactly. Anyone for a chess board fairway, 2m x 2m squares of alternating OB and IB?

The words Advanced and Intermediate reference degree of skill. Recreational references attitude - 'oh I don't take it seriously, it's just recreational for me'. And Novice references newness to the sport and lack of experience. (Note: experience does not directly correlate to skill. You can...
