I have a question about the rule for North hole 8. For those who haven't played it, there is a drop-off behind the basket and the majority of TDs are good about setting up a rule so you aren't standing on the edge where it could crumble and the player fall. So my question....is the 'relief' only if your disc/stance would be on the edge or does it include the area beyond the drop-off? I think it is only for player safety and to keep us from having to throw from near the edge....but in a past tournament, someone thought it included if the players disc went off the edge to the lower part of the ground.
