Good luck with that.
The disc is supported by the chain assembly under that scenario and is just as legal as a wedgie or anything else assuming that moving the chain/s would also move the disc.

PDGA Rule 803.13.B. Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the chains or within one of the entrapment sections. This includes a disc wedged into or hanging from the lower entrapment section but excludes a disc resting on top of, or hanging outside of, the upper entrapment section. The disc must also remain within the chains or entrapment sections until removed.

I still contend that it counts if the disc is touching a chain (even when suspended on top)
Like I said...This is the part that would make me call a leaner on top (touching a chain) as a made shot.
Good luck with that.

I'd have to check with the Rules Committee to be sure. It's sort of like the weird shots wedged between the outside of the basket and a rock or tree that we've seen. The ruling there is if the tree or rock were taken away, could the disc still be supported solely by the basket? If 'no' then no hole out. In the same way, if the chains couldn't solely support the yellow disc in that position if the chain support also holding it were taken away, then I suspect their (RC) position would be that no hole out occurred.
The yellow disc was not touching a chain even though it looks like it might be due to the camera angle and the other disc suspended in the chains pushing the chain out.
Nope. It's sort of like a disc completely surrounded by concrete on an OB walkway and arguing that it's IB because a living blade of grass is bent over under your disc.
Thanks everyone. Midnight, if your daughter is 18 tell her to holler at me.
The PDGA just did an article on this, you can check it out here.
