Does the field of players want to add the Mooney's Bay Temp course the the list of eligible courses a match can be played on?
I think that would be appropriate.
I also think you should be able to play any course the 2 players agree upon. For example, I may want to play Rico at his Queensway course. Its an object course. Would this be ok. What about Radapaw Ridge? _________________ meh

Not according to last year's rules;
Quote:
Disc Golf Course: Any course designated as a disc golf course having established pads and targets consisting of baskets or tonal poles. Object targets are not acceptable no matter how well marked.
RR and Queensway don't exactly have established teepads. _________________ Hyzer enthusiast

My point is though, as long as the 2 players play the same teepads it makes no difference. The result doesn't have to be replicated as for tournaments..As long as you and your opponent play the same pads and objects it is all equal and fair _________________ meh

True but let's say Stace and Gavin want to play a match at Queensway, they can't as the layout is not clear.
Only Disco and a handful of other know it. _________________ Hyzer enthusiast

I still don't think object courses should be used for OMPL though
because you've got to draw the line somewhere.
What is the rationale for this though?
It's the difference between disc golf and frolf. Object hitting is sometimes left to interpretation. There shouldn't be any grey areas when it comes to holing out. _________________ Boyle says BOOM!

Playing for money needs some sort of uniformity.
Where on the tree? What part of the sign? Does in the garbage can count?
If players are to practice and prepare for their matches they should be able to practice the putt. If the target is going to change from hole to hole it's unfair. Yes, you could say it's unfair for both players but this shouldn't even be an option. Again, it's the difference between frolf and disc golf. _________________ Boyle says BOOM!

Its not unfair to both players, its equal. We have already established that there will be certain courses a player can demand be played. This allows for the use of baskets if one of the players so desires. But if neither care I don't get the argument.
I still haven't heard a rationale argument for this opinion. _________________ meh

Guidelines for Competition:
Rules of Play:
The Rules of Disc Golf, as defined by the Professional Disc Golf Association, shall govern the rules of play except where these rules are specific to a format other than match play. OMPL rules and regulations shall supercede those of the PDGA.
PDGA Rules of Play wrote:
B. Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the chains and/or the inner cylinder (bottom and inside wall) of the tray. It may be additionally supported by the pole. A disc observed by two or more players of the group or an official to have entered the target below the top of the tray or above the bottom of the chain support is not holed out.
C. Object Targets: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc and it must strike the marked target area on the object as specified by the director.
Unless Rolly, the director, marks your object course you cannot play within the PDGA Rules of Play. _________________ Boyle says BOOM!
