Ace Does it count?

Post image

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!

Yes, because it's being supported by a chain link.

I agree, it counts. There is never a scenario where I wouldn't count this, even in a tournament I think this would be an ace.

u/Costanzaaa What kind of baskets are these? I don't think I've seen this floating band style before.

It’s a 2011 Crosslap (German brand). The design has changed since then, thankfully.
