And what happens if all four players are spread out all over the fairway? They now all have to walk to the location of every single throw? That is a lot of extra walking. Watching is a courtesy, and the spirit of the rule is to watch for faults if you are in position to do so, not penalize you for not walking to the spot of every single throw. That would probably increase the distance you have to walk by a VERY large amount, thereby affecting everyone's games. I now have to follow everyone into their nasty thorn-bushes, or down into their ravines, or I am discourteous? That is my advantage for throwing a good shot, I get to walk in straight lines, and not have to follow all three of my competitors on their zig-zag patterns. If I am concerned about someone foot-faulting, I have the choice to do that, but forcing me to is ridiculous. BAD IDEA.

@@ralki15 I'm sorry, but I haven't yet seen a single video of the fourth card down on any PDGA approved tournament. The logistics of what you are asking for is very difficult and would consume a lot of resources- resources that are already very limited. As far as asking for a TD for the lead card, that is a tricky situation. The TD may not be able to run all over and get to all of the throws. Some throws go left, some right. What if they miss something that is crucial to the end of the game, but the players didn't pay attention because they relied on the TD who was supposed to be everywhere and see everything? It's just not practical. And what about all of the other competitors who have invested just as much into the tournaments? Are they worthy of being treated as less-than by not having a TD, or should they too have a TD? ADDITIONALLY, one cannot play these events without having taken the Official's Exam. Each player is required to know and enforce the rules of play according to PDGA rules. No, we must hold each other accountable to the rules of the game. It's the only equitable way to ensure to the best of the sports ability that all participants are competing fairly.

What i learned from this video is that the sport is popular enough for camera men but not for referee's. What i almost didn't learn from this video. What a foot fault is.

I think Nikko is so energetic here because it was a huge foot fault that everybody should have seen. It's everybody's job to act as a referee in the same flight. It actually bothers me that the personal relations in the card prevent proper play after the rules. I notice that too in my tournaments and I think the pros should be an example of how you do it right.

I realize it is a rule. I just think it's dumb on a pro level. Obviously, can't be compared to poker where everybody is sitting right there at the same table. Or Magic, lol. As we can see, lot's of stuff slips by because disc gold courses are huge. I have seen many foot faults not called, for example. And, we have seen video proof of foot faults called that shouldn't have been called. That is why I think it is dumb.

This is great. In regards to folks upset about Nikko getting all up in arms about a foot fault yet regularly getting away with time violations himself, I think the process for calling any violation would be much smoother if the PDGA officially makes it so players on a card can anonymously call foot faults, time violations, courtesy, etc via U-Disc. Nobody (aside from Nikko apparently) wants to be the stickler who calls someone out and makes the rest of the round tense, so they just don't do it. I feel like an anonymous voting system on U-Disc would encourage more calls to be made. Could easily add a stopwatch function as well to make timing throws seamless. The PDGA needs to either implement something of the sort, use actual officials, or just ditch the rule altogether because it's not working as-is on the pro level.

These videos are entertaining as hell, big ups my man

I love your content man, great stuff.

People need to chill about being mad a foot fault was called on them (at the pro level) just like how if they foot fault, they probably aren't doing it intentionally, someone calling a foot fault is probably not doing it maliciously. No need for "are you serious!" Or "you gotta be kidding me!" I mean someone has to second it, so unless 2 people team up to screw you over, just go, "did i?, did anyone else see it?" I get how in the lower levels, it can be frustrating, but at the pro level, they should be more professional.

I'd be more for making a foot fault call on someone for throwing past their marker. The object of the game is to get to the basket, if someone I'm playing with throws from slightly further back behind their mark, moreso if it is in a wide open fairway with no obstructions, well thats just on them for making their distance to the basket a little bit longer.

Ricky shoulda have called it on himself at that point. It was so blatantly obvious, he had to have known he foot faulted. Just like regular golf.

And I just don't like him regardless if he's right or wrong.

Or maybe the professional thing to do is for all players to pay attention at all times especially because it’s the players’ responsibility to enforce the rules. Many players are afraid to call violations for fear of not being backed by the card or having to play the rest of the round with salty players messing with the vibe.

I do think it's interesting how heated of a topic this is. At the end of the day though, it has to be seconded by card mates. Foot faults should be called for sure, but I do think it's interesting how testy people get when they are called out haha. Fun video.

In ball golf the player calls themselves out on rules violations. A higher standard

This is juicy this mornin, love to see it

I remember all of these but especially that call on Ricky from Nikko. Ricky had to know he was 13.2 miles away from his mini 🤣🤣🤣 Exaggerating obviously but it was soooo far.

Most of these calls were crystal clear. Not even closen, and players still get upset. Kevin FOR SURE felt that he stepped on the disc and still was pissed. Unbelievable.

Stepping on a disc is not an advantage there or really ever, so I don’t see why anyone would create conflict other than to mess with the other player or force them to make a good shot again for no real reason.

The fact that Nikko still gets hate for this interaction is crazy to me. Its such a blatant foot fault, its not a borderline call, and the fact that he was somehow the only person watching on the card isnt how its supposed to work. He shouldn't get hate for this. If you call a footfault in a casual round, you shouldnt throw a fit if you dont get a second, but in a professional round with money on the line, everybody should be paying more attention until the PDGA changes their stupid rule that all violations have to be called by the players.

As a really new viewer to the sport, it's crazy that these calls are left up to the players. I imagine there's so many scenarios where players can't even see other players throw if they are on opposite sides of a hole. Seems like too many scenarios where you can't get a second, then come across looking like a dick if the player being called disagrees.

I'm a bit surprised ricky didn't second for his own fault. the commentators are saying he didn't fault intentionally, but he was so far behind the mini when he threw that he had to of known he foot faulted. obviously nikko should have dropped it when the other players didn't second, but still he was right. I think it would help the sport if players started getting more strict with their card mates on foot faulting. because right now you have a situation where the guy who foot faulted knows they foot faulted but are like c'mon let it slide, which is just really weird to have in a pro sport.

He called foot faults numerous times throughout a tournament on the same person. All clearly faults, none were seconded. The other 3 didn't watch but were all part of the local club together. It was a difference in placement for my son by the time they finished the tournament. Glad he called them and in the scheme of things it's fine it cost him a finish. He isn't playing open yet. This way he knows the value of continuing to do his job and the price it holds to others if he doesn't.

I get Nikko's point on the last one but someone has to second it. He also should drop the issue though.

Think of other sports where they let things slide way more but on the professional levels the rules need to be followed. This is about mental strength. If you don't have to worry about getting within a certain distance of your mark then that relieves a part of the mental game others are HAVING to follow. This is an advantage and especially over the course of a 3 round tournament.

I can understand this rule, when you are in the bushes or behind a big tree or something - of course you need to throw from where your disc has landed, and are not allowed to move to the side or move further behind to get a clearer view. That's completely logical... But standing in an open field with no obstacles, who gives a flying rats ass about 15-20 centimeters to the side or behind...?

There are umpires in all table tennis, tennis, badminton and squash matches. The organizing club provides the umpires usually and ITTF events have pro umpires. Disc golf needs umpires at least to the pro tour events. Of course we can't compare sports like TT with 50 million players and DG, but it wouldn't be so difficult to assign umpires to the main events from the organizing club. Every event in TT has also a referee that the player can ask for a second opinion if they feel the umpire is not fair.
