As a viewer of events online, and not live, I would greatly prefer Aggregate Playoff. Its very anticlimactic to have a playoff, and its over after one hole because of one bad throw. Sudden death playoff doesn't reward overall skill as much, and it introduces a luck factor into play. If the first person up has a horrible throw with a near guaranteed bogey, the second person up will throw a safe shot off the tee, followed by another safe shot, etc until putting for par. Whippee.. 6 extra holes of each player trying to match and exceed what the other player does would make for much more enjoyable viewing experience for me. 6 maybe too much though. 4 followed by Sudden Death seems more reasonable.

I agree with this, it is like how Traditional Golf at least the PGA Had sudden death playoff but now does an odd number of holes 3 or was it 5 I forget, then if still tied score they keep going sudden death after that. Problem was that before Traditional Golf PGA had Sudden Death and it was not fair to the viewers as both often ended up playing conservative that led to being too conservative where they both just pared the holes, keeping it going way too long for TV or on the Golf Channel in USA where the channel got mad the game kept going and Traditional Golf already plays slower then Disc Golf.

But then again, playing a full round extra takes even more of the luck factor away. Whoever is up first has the choice of playing safe or risky and putting pressure on the other player(s). I don't think players will be more happy with an aggregate play off. At this point some player will still have played 4+ rounds of the best disc golf and still end up not winning. But I'm hoping they'll try it and see how the players feel.

I don't really understand the difference between sudden death and tied leaders when they play the 18th hole. Isn't that like sudden death too ? Can't that come down to luck too ? Doesn't the first player throwing have a disadvantage there too ? etc. It's all the same player wise. The only thing is, viewer wise it's better to finish on the 18th hole since that is where all the camera's and people are. But I like sudden death otherwise. I will agree however, that playing an aggregate 4 holes playoff that ends on 18 is ok too.

The primary reason for an aggregate playoff is to be a better representation of the actual tournament. TDs could ensure that the playoff contained a variety of holes rather than one hole that might benefit one player's specific game even if it is the only one on the course that they would have an advantage on. Some PGA events have 3-hole aggregate playoffs for this reason.

Been playing for 15 years. Still waiting for holing out to be simplified down to the disc being supported by the basket and no part of the playing surface (basically adding the top of the chain assembly). It's better now but has always been unnecessarily complicated.

Everyone keeping score is gonna slow things down some. I don't mind keeping score but it sucks when I'm first on the box and instead of thinking about what I might do for my shot I'm figuring out the order and trying to recount someone's strokes, "was that a 5 or a 6?"

I agree it will slow things down. Keeping ones own score card is enough, than to be keeping everyone else's too. It's ridiculous. Players have enough to concentrate on just playing their own game. If cheating or errors are that bad, then keeping score for one other person in the group might be tolerable, but not everyone. So that could be a compromise.

So, if every player on a card decides to take 25 seconds to throw, then what? What if I throw OB on a drive and instead of taking it where it went OB or from a DZ, I decide to re-tee until I land in bounds? I saw a guy recently throw from the tee pad three times because he refused to go the DZ. After his 3rd drive landed OB, he did go to to the DZ.

Good idea. My idea is for them to create a new cheaper class of membership for "non tournament" players. Many players and viewers out there don't play tournaments for various reasons as you know. And some fans don't play at all, only watch. They might be beginners, hackers, play only for fun, have a bad arm, knee or hip, or are just old and hard to get around a course. So they might not play much even if they used to play. But they are still fans and they like watching. I'm one of them. These people might like a type of membership that gives them a subscription to the magazine, as well as a little discount to the disc golf channel, but not much else. It doesn't have to be the same discount or perks regular members get. But a cheaper membership that provided only those benefits might appeal to that group of people. It isn't bad for me now though, because I sometimes buy the magazine online anyway, and pay a reasonable pay per view on the disc golf channel for the major events I want to watch. But I don't watch enough to justify a full membership. And more of that money could be going to PDGA if they had a membership like that for non players.

Peeps be coming outta the woodwork to caddy for Kat! 😂

As someone who usually takes score, 100% in favor of 808. Just agree as a group that you'll clear the hole and then stop and take 30 seconds to do scores. PDGA live will do the rest and the auto-checking of scores between cards to detect mistakes is awesome. The scores will be more reliable.

Is it when you are standing near your lie? What if you don’t have a disc in hand yet? Is it when you are standing near your lie with a disc in hand?

30 seconds doesn't start when you address your lie. If addressing your lie means when you come to your lie. You could go to the movies after previous thrower and come back after 3 hours to throw your disc without a penalty. I don't understand why people make this simple rule so complicated. Player has a reasonable amount of time to arrive at and determine the lie. That is in the rule book. As an official: Player A throws and I wait until that disc lands. Then I walk quite slowly to player B's lie and start the clock when I arrive to the lie. If player keeps using range finder and stops and talks with card mates, clock is on already before player comes to the lie. Reasonable amount of time is basically the time it takes to walk to your own lie after previous thrower. It is as simple as that. If lie is difficult and player struggles to get there, time is off and there is no 30 second rule. If player keeps avoiding going there, I say out loud that this takes too long and 30 seconds starts soon.

(I'm hopeless at it (I talk too much, ADD, easily distracted, dyslexic etc but can cope)).. BUT... Does U-Disc (Or any handy scoring app that allows multiple user input in realtime) allow (6) people to enter (6) scores for one person so the average guy throwing plastic at trees can be ready for a tournament without being faced with a new app. Or does it just mean.. you put YOUR score on the One card, and the others do the same.. Meaning you all have to carry a phone (a hassle in the summer).. I can see this remaining the good ol "Can you score" for non events, and a struggle for noobs at an event... Followed by Caddies doing the scoring... OMG more reason to have a caddie. uhhh Do we get penalised for getting the score wrong for one of the other players... when they should be doing their own scores... BTW I am very Mediocre... am in a cold sweat about when I'll have my 1st event... and have only the basic shared idea of the rules... (In fact it would be good for some content providers to pop a quick "did you know" rule pop up to keep viewers familiar with the million rules.

Player Speed: Not all shots are created equal. If you're deep in the rough, have a blind shot, or are in an awkward location, you may need to walk around and evaluate your options. How does the 30-second clock affect these situations? What happens if you throw your disc in the mud and want to throw the same disc? You mark your lie, have to clean your disc and throw within 30-seconds? Some sort of common sense needs to be applied to "when the clock starts". Walking up to you disc and/or marking the lie cannot be the determining factor.

@kimmomatikainen1843

7 ай бұрын

I have been an official for a long time. It is not in a rule book, but I was taught to respect players and be flexible and that is what all the officials who I know do. If disc in a really bad place and even hard to get to the disc, clock is off. Of course player doesn't get unlimited time. At some point just have to say that you have spent long enough and you should be in your lie and throw already. There are situations when it is almost impossible to throw within 30 seconds. Being an official isn't really that difficult. Unfortunately common sense is disappearing from people's heads. It is also very clearly stated in the rule book when 30 second starts. Player has a reasonable amount of time to arrive at and determine the lie. it is purely impossible to set an exact time from previous throw. If previous player's lie is in 3 ft from yours, you are basically on your lie so you are given only maybe 5-10 seconds until clock starts. If there is a massive downhill and player throws from high up and the whole group needs to climb down. Of course it takes more time to get to the lie. If I am an official, I walk with the group. Player A throws and player B is next. After player A has thrown, I walk quite slowly to a lie of player B and when I arrive to the lie, time starts. If I don't walk with the group and stand behind. I just watch and count in my mind what is an approximate time that takes for a player B to reach to the lie and then start the clock. Time doesn't start from previous thrower or when you come to your lie. Both would be dumb. If time starts when you come to your lie, you can go for lunch between and come back in two hours if you never went to your lie.

Sometimes I just hear jealous reaction from other group realizing we have music and they do not. And now I can be called a courtesy violation?! For making someones day even nicer? This is just a bad rule and I do not see the motivation for it. The fact you must not annoy or disrupt other players is in the rules already for quite some time... That is yet another example of "preventive restriction" instead of ppl communication and respect. BTW "I love discgolf" and "I am not a member of PDGA"? Somehow cannot comprehend this...

Some people love to complicate their lives. 30 second rule is very simple. Rule is clear. Player has a reasonable amount of time to arrive at and determine the lie. It means that previous player throws and the whole group watches the flight to see where the disc lands. Then the next player walks to his/her lie. Official, in my opinion, should do this. Once disc has come to rest, official quite slowly walks to the next player's lie. Once official comes to that lie, he/she starts the timer. That is reasonable amount of time. There can't be exact time. if next lie is within 5 feet, it takes 5-10 seconds to get to that lie. If the next lie is on the bottom of a massive hill. It can 5 minutes to come to the next lie. How can you set a specific time when walk to the lie can take from 5 seconds to 5 minutes? And it is not possible to have a rule that time starts when player marks his/her lie. Player can spend 5 hours before marking a lie without getting a penalty. I like current rule and it is very clear. People just complicates it. I agree with Gannon on one thing. Too often officials don't understand this simple rule. Some officials start the time from the time when previous player throws and some when player marks the lie. Both are wrong. PDGA should have a register for officials and they should have their own forum or group where rules and rule changes can be discussed with PDGA's rule team. Ideally each official would take a minute to think what rules mean and check from PDGA if they are not sure about something. Unfortunately common sense is not very common anymore.

Good, watching Gannon putt is painful, would never want to play with him....ttttday junior

I worked a tournament as crowd control for a card he was on. I wanted to shoot myself watching him.

I think you should be forced to sign up to the PDGA to play leagues....and then I'd hope every local TD sanction their weeklies. Get these duffers off my course...*pff , not signing up to our professional association...ridiculous.

Is there such a thing as a "due delay" then? Who establishes if it's due or undue and what definition are they using. I swear the PDGA writes rules like that spoiled rich kid in every sport: if they're not winning everyone must be cheating.

Not a fan of the rule about everyone keeping score. I know a lot of people that don't want to look at tournament scores for the first round (or even the last round at local tournaments). There are also many pros that don't want to know the score until it matters towards the end, so this will be a weird mental game for some of them.

I do not watch the scores even if I keep them. You can hide it in Udisc and PDGA app. Plus if you write it on a paperm it is up to you if you count or not. 😉

the biggest rule that needed changed was to stop letting men play in the FPO

Andddd that aggregate playoff already happened in Mexico, and as a result KJ didn't win the tournament

first :o

Traditional golf changes rules all the time.

Why does the pdga think it's a good idea to change rules every fucking year. Glad I gave up the sport.

I was hoping a ban on jump/step putting would be a rule change. And side arms. Side arms gotta go. Players all need to learn to throw lefty and righty.

Pdga sucks... brodie Smith also

Atrocious audio levels.

To complain about spending $50 once per year is just bizzare. Disc golf needs more money at all levels. It is stupid cheap at the moment and feels like it.

the problem is that nobody can actually account for where all the money the pdga collects from players memberships is going to.... they are making massive amounts of money every year, and where is it going to ???? the pdga does not pay the players, they dont do anything really other than make up retarded rules and making TD's lives harder.
