He shredded his knees playing Ultimate; that's basically why he quit that sport. https://medium.com/@jingley22/the-player-behind-the-trick-shots-brodie-smiths-comeback-in-the-audl-23759eedb232 He had at least 3 surgeries on the knees before they forced him out of the game.

In practice the group isn't going to object to something obvious like that. But if the rest of the group did object to your call, then yeah, you can't call it unilaterally. We're arguing in circles now, unless you can actually point out where in the rules it actually defines a violation as...

You're misreading this section, IMO: the rules say that any determination must be made by the group, but that any rules violation that involves a penalty stroke must be confirmed. Since a missed mando involves a penalty stroke, the latter applies. Nowhere else in the rules distinguishes...

No. Nothing in the rules says anything about “needing a majority” or “winning a vote”. The rules say that a call on a rule that has a penalty stroke needs to be confirmed by another player. Call and seconded, and it's done: The full rules on enforcement are here...

But it's not a case where the rules are silent on the issue: they do explicitly say that any call by a player must be seconded by another player or tournament official. The person making the shot is a player, and so a second is needed. The last paragraph of Rastnav's first post in the thread...

That's how I'd read it: The missed mando call made by any player can't be enforced without a second. There's no exception for calling a rule on yourself. Without that call being enforced, the proper lie is where her disc landed. Playing from the drop zone would be a misplay for playing from...

A bad lie still needs needs to be confirmed by a second player or tournament official who saw it (without the use of video), per 801.02.E. So I guess in that case you should contact the rest of the group to see if any of them could confirm it?

Doesn't look like it. That was her drive on the par 3. She threw OB, and then made the followup for a bogey 4. I'm not sure anyone noticed it happen in live play; she reacts after the throw, but that could easily be to the OB throw. Misplays can be called after the score card was turned in...

I would want to investigate the idea that strength isn't really a factor when putting before just accepting it as fact. Obviously any pro has zero problems simply reaching the basket from C2, but the less effort you have to use when putting the more consistent and accurate you can be. Strength...

James and Paige are really good friends, and she's generally pretty gracious. Also, he just gave her the perfect ending for the documentary.

They actually changed their name to Innova Champion Europe in 2009 and then to Spin18 in 2019. https://www.spin18.com/about-us/ Spin18 is still a DBA, though, so until there's an official change on articles of incorporation then some of the legal text will still say Innova Champion Europe...

Innova and Innova Champion Europe are completely different companies. Innova Champion Europe is Jussi's Finnish holding company for Spin18/Discmania/DiscGolfPark/etc. It was formed in 2001. Innova (fully Innova Champion Discs) is Dave Dunipace's American disc manufacturing company that's been...
