EXAM
Question 1 of 25
You are lining up your second throw on a par 4. The approach to the
target is a tricky bend to the left, with white paint lines at the fairway's
edge and a marked tree directly at the corner of the OB. The rules sheet
says "White lines mark OB areas. Mandatory: discs that pass left of
marked tree have missed the mandatory. Marked drop zone for missed
mandatory." You throw your shot, which crosses OB, clearly passes on
the wrong side of the mandatory, crosses back in-bounds, but finishes
OB. What determines the correct ruling? - ANSWERS-A. That the disc
finished clearly and completely surrounded by OB, 806.02.B.
B. That the disc passed on the incorrect side of the mandatory, 804.01.C.
C. Whatever results in the most penalty throws, 802.02.H.
D. Whichever lie is more favorable, 801.01.A.

EXAM
You're playing a course where a few holes play through picnic areas in
the woods. A player in your group throws an off-target upshot that hits a
few trees and ends up under a picnic table. The player tries to take a
legal stance, but is unable to do so. Then the player picks up one end of
the picnic table and rotates it until they can take a comfortable and legal
stance behind the thrown disc. Do they incur a penalty? - ANSWERS-A.
No, players can move obstacles that impede a legal stance, 803.03.A.
B. Yes, two penalty throws for damaging the course, 803.03.A.
C. Yes, one penalty throw for moving an obstacle on the course,
803.01.C.
D. Yes, a misplay under 811.F.1 because they should have taken relief
under 803.02, but how many penalty throws depends on whether they
throw again before realizing their mistake.

EXAM
Your group is on the last hole of the tournament. You have completed
the hole, and your rival needs to make their putt to tie you. They release
the putt and it lands neatly on top of the target. Did you beat them? -
ANSWERS-A. No. Marking on the playing surface below the thrown
disc would put their lie in the tray, 805.01.C, so the hole is complete,
807.A.
B. Yes. Their disc came to rest over 2 meters above the playing surface,
805.02.B. They need to mark their lie with a penalty and complete the
hole.
C. No. Their disc came to rest supported by the target, so the hole is
complete, 807.A.
D. Yes. Their disc did not come to rest supported by the tray or the
chains below the chain support, 807.B. They need to mark their lie and
complete the hole.
