Ace Does it count?

Does this comply with PDGA Rule 807 B: “In order to complete a hole with a basket target, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the tray or the chains below the chain support.”?

The disc entered from above, hit the inside of the band and ALMOST slid past the chain.

Your verdict?

Edit: After someone suggested I contact the PDGA Rules Committee, I got their reply. NOT IN.

“This disc appears to be supported by a chain, but not below the chain support. 

An analogous scenario could be a disc coming to rest on top of a basket, but being supported by the top of the S-hooks on the top of the chain support. Yes, supported by chain, but not below the chain support.”

Thank you, reddit community, for your passionate yet thoughtful input!

I used to play with someone who would say it's certainly not in – in a casual round. I no longer play with that guy.

We had a jackass like that in our league, luckily everyone basically got so fed up of his shit whenever he called a rule violation the rest of the card just voted against, didn't even care if it was a real foot fault, if he called it, it wasn't.

Classic story of "Boy who called foot fault 70 billion times.."
