Last updated: Tuesday, December 31, 2024 - 17:32

A hazard is an area designated by the Director which incurs a penalty throw.
The line defining the edges of the hazard area is part of the hazard area. If a line is shared between out-of-bounds and a hazard area, the line is considered part of the out-of-bounds area.
A disc is in a hazard if its position is clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard or by a combination of the hazard and an out-of-bounds area.
A player whose disc is in a hazard receives one penalty throw. A hazard area has no impact on the location of the lie.
If the thrower moves the disc before a determination whether it is in a hazard has been made, the disc is considered to be in the hazard.
