809.01 Abandoned Throw

I think the idea is that you don't get the throws removed from the score unless it's known that the disc was removed before it could be found. As in, the person turning it in says when they found it and you put 2+2 together to reveal the timing.

I won't disagree that the wording could be better. In ...

I'd say no because it isn't the act of the disc returning that triggers the deduction of two throws, it is the discovery that the disc was removed or taken before it could be found. That your disc is found and returned isn't enough to argue that it was removed or taken at all. Unless we want people ...

NEFA membership is dropping off in the, shall we say, outlying areas because those areas no longer really need it. As more courses pop up and more players find the game, everything is naturally going to be more and more fragmented.

I think the distribution of NEFA Points is pretty clear evidence of ...

Registration has been open one day.

Only 8 MPO/FPO spots remain available.

Waitlist is already 13 deep.

One more question, how many nefa sanctioned events per state?

Just a quick glance thru last years calendar.....

27 in MA, including a few Womens events and a Juniors event
9 in NY plus Mighty Gaw is NEFA in NJ, my region also. I'm adding one more this year.
6 in VT
4 in NH
3 in ME
2 in RI ...

Honestly, I don't see a need change anything for local (NEFA or PDGA) events. IMO, the place for these new divisions are at events exclusively for age-protected divisions (like a Senior Games or the Tim Selinske) or at large scale tournaments that have the capacity and the draw to populate them ...

I've always been told that if your drive goes OB you can not use that same disc to re-tee. So are you saying that is not the case?
There is no rule nor has there ever been a rule that barred a player from using a disc strictly because it landed OB. You can use the same disc if you can retrieve it ...

The rule book is written for singles play, so no, this isn't specifically addressed in the book. The closest it comes is in the Q&A section , which addresses changing the marking method...switching from mini back to thrown disc, which is prohibited.

However, there are a few general rules for ...

Wouldn't the Time Rule pretty much prohibit the option to retrieve the thrown disc? Especially if it was a drive.
Just Wondering.
I don't think so. You are allowed reasonable time to retrieve your disc regardless of how far it is. The clock should start once you take your stance.

Not quite. The ...

Wouldn't the Time Rule pretty much prohibit the option to retrieve the thrown disc? Especially if it was a drive.
Just Wondering.

It might prevent the player from retrieving the disc and immediately re-throwing it if it's far enough away from the player's next lie, but that wouldn't be the case ...

Nope. Not a rule. Whoever told you that...an idiot.

Kudos to you, though, for looking it up instead of taking their word for it.

Per the schedule on DGScene, the players' meeting is behind the Hawks Nest. Does that mean check in is there as well and everyone should be parking at the store rather than the lot on Antietam Street? Pretty big detail that should be clarified before Saturday.

This says it is a PDGA C-tier but it doesn't yet appear on the PDGA schedule. Is it really going to be sanctioned?

Fixed

So does this mean it is sanctioned (and you're "fixing" that with the PDGA) or that it isn't sanctioned (and "fixed" is removing all mention of PDGA-C from flyers)?

This says it is a PDGA C-tier but it doesn't yet appear on the PDGA schedule. Is it really going to be sanctioned?

Final Results

NEFA report will be sent tomorrow.

Thanks for letting me know, James.

Less than two weeks to go...

A whole bunch of people just got in from the waitlist today. We've added two brand new holes to the course (two that will eventually be part of our second 18) and as a result we have eight more places in the tournament.

Ryan Wyman, Adam Dube, Scott Reoch, Jayson Davis ...

I know there are a couple threads for individual events, but there really ought to be one covering all the events within NEFA's purview so players know where they can take part. Next Generation Tour Series Region 1 - Northeast

The Next Generation Tour is an amateur-only series of events that will ...

Let's take the incorrect lie off the table because there was no such issue. This team simply did not agree on which was the better lie. So on 2 occasions they each played from their own.

They aren't allowed to do that, at least not in a way that gives them the choice of which result to play from ...

And if the answer is yes, then I understand that they have to hole out from player B's lie no matter what.



they don't have to hole out. they have to take the result of player B's shot after they nullify Player A's by calling it the "wrong lie". You would be correct to tell them they can't ...

FULL except for four MPO/FPO spots.

Waitlist is now open at the same link as registration.

11 spots left, only four of which are available to players outside MPO and FPO.

Just 19 spots left, 8 of which are reserved for MPO or FPO.

They probably won't last the day.

Registration is OPEN!

Already at 28 players in.

This may just fill today at the pace we're on.
