GENERAL RULES:
All PDGA Rules will be followed to promote fair play for all disc golfers. If any point in dispute is not covered by the rules, the decision is made in accordance with fairness.

The TWO-meter rule IS NOT IN EFFECT!

OUT of BOUNDS (806.02 Out-of-Bounds): Roads, Parking Lots, River, Lake, “Pylons and Beyond” if not marked. Painted Lines, Flags, stakes.

(806.02 Out-of-Bounds) C: A disc that cannot be found is considered to be out-of-bounds if there is compelling evidence that the disc came to rest within an out-of-bounds area. In the absence of such evidence, the disc is considered lost and play proceeds according to 805.03.

805.03 Lost DISC: (3) minutes to locate (everyone must HELP! ), if determined lost proceed to previous lie w/ one stroke penalty.

804.01 Mandatory Routes: A mandatory route restricts the path the disc may take in the process of playing a hole.
The restricted plane is a vertical plane marked by one or more objects or other markers which define the edges of the space.
If part of a thrown disc clearly enters into a restricted space plane, the player receives one penalty throw. The lie for the next throw is the drop zone for that mandatory. If no drop zone has been designated, the lie for the next throw is the previous lie.
If the thrown disc is released on the other side of the restricted plane compared to the rear edge of the marker disc, the player has missed the mandatory. The next lie and penalty are the same as 804.01.C.

Use provisional throws when necessary to save time!

Digital Scoring: Please use Virtual Score Card @ PDGA.com/score code: VO42
PDGA.com/live for following or watching anywhere!
Rule 808 Scoring must be followed without exception.
There will also be a paper cards available at HQ for back up purposes.

Throws that miss the mandatory proceed to the drop zone with a one-throw penalty.
