why wasn't it set at 21cm instead of 20cm?
My guess would be to match other measurements. Metric is used in disc golf and certain numbers make sense.
10 Meters = circle 1
20 Meters = circle 2
1 meter in from OB
5 Meters = Rule 809.03 any throw more than 5 meters and not not made as a competitive attempt to change the lie, is a practice throw with a penalty.
Except for the 1 meter rule for OB relief, everything else seems to be multiples of 5. So, I guess that is the reasoning behind 20 centimeters.
