Tricks to the human players?

Does anyone know if its a foul or prohibited if you use a mechanism for the human player to shoot the discs during the last 30 seconds of a match? I couldnt find any rules pertaining to this problem

Re: Tricks to the human players?

Best chance is to search the Q & A. If you can't find a similar answered question, ask it yourself .

Re: Tricks to the human players?

No.

There is a rule about bringing special equipment to the field, the only exceptions would be for handicaps, such as a wheelchair.

Re: Tricks to the human players?

T22. The tournament section
The only equipment that may be brought in to the ALLIANCE STATION are as follows:

the OPERATOR CONSOLE,
non-powered signaling devices,
reasonable decorative items,
special clothing and/or equipment required due to a disability
devices used solely for the purpose of planning or tracking strategy provided they meet all of the following conditions:
do not connect or attach to the OPERATOR CONSOLE
do not connect or attach to the FIELD or ARENA
do not connect or attach to another ALLIANCE member
do not communicate with anything or anyone outside of the ARENA.
do not include any form of enabled wireless electronic communication (e.g. radios, walkie-talkies, cell phones, Bluetooth communications, Wi-Fi, etc.)
do not in any way affect the outcome of a MATCH, other than by allowing PLAYERS to plan or track strategy for the purposes of communication of that strategy to other ALLIANCE members.

Re: Tricks to the human players?

Practice is the main tip. Try finding a local disc golf course, commonly found at city parks. My team, 3743 actually challenged another team to a disc golf match.

True, but technically doesn't the whole team arrive at the alliance station, prior to going to their designated positions?

You can always ask the Q&A, citing these rules and definitions of alliance station I suppose. I'd expect a quick "no" and a team update shortly after...

The human player ("Feeder") is in the Alliance Station, and not allowed to leave it during the match. From the Game Manual glossary (section 6.1):
Quote:
ALLIANCE STATION: the area bounded by the ALLIANCE WALL, FEEDER STATIONS, LOW GOAL, white tape and
carpet perimeter depicted in Figure 2.3.
And
Quote:
G36
During the MATCH, TEAMS must be within their ALLIANCE STATION. Exceptions will be granted for inadvertent or inconsequential infractions and in cases concerning safety.
Violation: FOUL
So I would say, No, the human player definitely can't use any mechanism to help throw discs. Even if these rules aren't explicit enough, it doesn't seem like Gracious Professionalism to do such a thing, IMHO.
