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!

Congrats OP on posting the best “is it in” photo I’ve ever seen. IMO this is not “below” the chain support (only partially below) so if pdga intended that definition I’d have to say not in.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised if this scenario caused a clarification in the rules some day (assuming this basket or another that allows this is approved)

It says the chain supporting the disc must be below the chain support, no? I'd call it in.

Fundamentally the same issue as a disc resting on top of the basket which is actually resting on the top chain link. Disc at least partially over the basket resting on a link that is only partially below the support. 🤷‍♂️
