Technically, not a legal structure under current PDGA rules since Missed Mando line from one tree extends indefinitely across the other fairway so you're always missing one mando when making the other one. However, we're looking at getting it into the next rulebook.
Just make the mando line between the two trees, no infinite extention needed.
Full disclosure: I am opposed to most mandos, except for safety reasons. Using a mando for a course design element has always felt more like Putt-Putt than disc golf. Why don't we just put a windmill in front of the basket to make it REALLY fun?
I understand what you're saying and players can certainly understand the intent of this structure. But a missed mando line officially has no end other than the OB boundary of the course.Just make the mando line between the two trees, no infinite extention needed.
Not under current rules. Default drop zone if one is not marked is a rethrow from previous lie, not the old default near the mando object.I think the issue here is if you miss the mando, there's a lot of dispute (under normal PDGA rules) on how you handle your drop. On a normal mando, or even a double mando, in the absence of a designated drop zone, you go 1 meter in from the mando object that you went the wrong side of. Here, since you're going the wrong side of two objects in this case, which of them do you mark 1 meter from?
And yeah, I know the local rules say go back between the trees, but that procedure is more convoluted and time consuming than it needs to be (what happens if you miss outside of the trees going backwards?). Just make a drop zone or require a rethrow from the previous lie.

^works for me... simple and elegant.It's also referred to as an outside mando, where you have to travel "outside" the designated area.
