"NITPOD" (Nearest Inbounds To Position Of Disc) - optional on Blue #4, required on Blue
#6.
PDGA Rule 806.02.D.4 - [After going OB] A lie designated by a marker disc placed on the
playing surface up to one meter away from the point on the out-of-bounds line nearest the
position of the disc.
On Saturday, If rain fills the ditch with standing water that goes above the string my intention is
for the string to remain the OB line. Water would NOT supercede string. This ensures everyone
plays the same OB if water were to rise or fall throughout the round.
When throwing across or along the street - please make sure there are no cars coming in either
direction before you throw.
When crossing the ball fields please do your best to stay ON the grass and OFF the dirt infields.
Imperial Park is a no smoking park.
If you haven't played Imperial Park before, do NOT use the Matlage Way address (that's for the
Rec Center, not the Disc Golf Course). Use this address: 7800 Hwy 90A. The entrance you
want is beside the Discount Tire on Hwy 90A.

OB markings will be put down on Friday afternoon. Temporary hole baskets will be in place
Saturday morning.

FYI, only two very minor changes from 2022:
1. Added "Chain link fence OB line is defined by the bottom edge of chain link." This clarifies the ambiguous issues of fence posts as well as the rare cases where the bottom of the fence is physically deformed and bent inward or outward.
2. #14 has been updated for for the case of BOTH missing a Mando AND going OB: you now always play the Mando penalty from the DZ.
