Did ANYONE take video of the Awards Ceremony????? I missed it and REALLY want to see it.
Fast forward to 36:15 in this video...and if the next few minutes don't move you and don't show you the true spirit of competition and what it means to be a good human being, then please find another sport.
Yep. Brian Graham obviously only called one on KC once he realized that his facilitating of KC & PB's collusion was caught on tape. I wonder when the last time he called a foot fault was?
In other news, the Pittsburgh Flying Disc Society is stronger and more united than ever. Nobody is mad at anyone and everyone still loves disc golf. And the club didn't go bankrupt.
I'd say that's a very successful Worlds!!
Open field foot fault calls are disgusting. The rule is in perfect place to prevent people from gaining a competitive advantage by stepping away from obstacles that might obstruct their throws or footing, as happens when folks let their foot slide a bit to the side of their mini to get our from behind a bush or tree, or try and throw from an extra foot back to get a better angle going up and over something.
The spot on the playing surface behind the marker, upon which the player takes a stance in accordance with the rules. It is a line 30 centimeters in length extending back along the line of play from the rear edge of the marker disc.
800.01 Description of the Game
The object of the game of disc golf is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest throws of the disc. The competitor who plays the stipulated round or rounds in the fewest throws plus penalty throws is the winner.
Play on each hole begins at the teeing area and ends at the target. After the player has thrown from the tee, each successive throw is made from where the previous throw came to rest. On completing a hole, the player proceeds to the teeing area of the next hole, until all holes have been played.
Disc golf courses are normally laid out in and around wooded areas with diverse terrain to provide natural obstacles to the flight of the disc. These natural obstacles are very much a part of the game and must not be altered by a player in any way to decrease the difficulty of a hole. Players must play the course as they find it and play the disc where it lies unless allowed otherwise by these rules.
Nobody is mad at anyone and everyone still loves disc golf. And the club didn't go bankrupt.
Nope. The rule is in place to ensure people play from the lie, which is defined as
Miss your lie, you've committed a stance violation. Period. Doesn't matter if you miss it by and inch or a mile; doesn't matter if it's wide open or obstructed: you either played from the lie or you didn't. If you didn't, you should EXPECT to be called.
So judging by this new video, it does look like he was foot faulting on the first two shots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-cn5Q1ocmU
