804.04 Out-of-Bounds
A. A disc is out-of-bounds if its position is clearly and completely surrounded by an out-of-bounds area. See 802.02.B for determining when a disc in water or foliage has come to rest.

B. The out-of-bounds line is part of the out-of-bounds area.


It's all there in black and white. Part A has been the standard for the rule since forever. As I said last night, Part B has only been the case since the 2006 rules update.

EXAMPLES:

Fenced in tennis court is OB at J-Park.
The fence is the line.
If a disc is leaning on the fence OUTSIDE the court, you're in bounds.
If a disc is leaning on the fence INSIDE the court, you're out of bounds.

There's a small playground area with a raised wooden frame.
The wood is the line.
If a disc lands on this wood frame, there needs to a portion of the disc touching/hanging over the grass for it to be in bounds.
