I had a friend of mine ask an interesting question about putting. Would the putt count if the disc came to rest on the very top of the basket (above the chains)?

Officially, if the disc is on top or hanging from the top, it's not counted as "in". If it's in the chains themselves or in the basket, it's good.
Believe it or not, even if it's wedged in the gaps of the "cage", or hanging from the knobs outside the cage, it's still good. When this happens, you'll see people you've never seen run move faster than you thought possible to grab that disc!

Almost got to see one of those this weekend during the first round at Edora. I really wanna see someone go blazing down the fairway for one of those, that would be absolutely hilarious. I know I wouldn't be afraid to run for it:o)!!

www.pdga.com/rules/qa.php"Disc Resting on Top (DROT)" I putted and my disc stayed on top of the basket. Now what? Response Applicable rules: * 803.13 * 803.07.B The short answer is that it will take you one more throw to complete the hole. Formerly, you could leave it up there and give other players the chance to save you a stroke, but the rule that allowed that (in which a disc struck by another disc was played from its new lie) has been changed. Now, if a disc at rest is struck by another disc, it is returned to its original lie. Since the person whose disc is on top has no chance of saving the stroke, it is reasonable to ask him to mark it if it may become a distraction.
