In the last episode of PDGA Rule School, we examined Out-of-Bounds areas, which are areas on the course designated by the Tournament Director as “off limits”.
In this episode, we’re going to look at another tool that TDs can use to add challenge and maintain safety and flow on the course: mandatory routes.
The rules governing mandatory routes (804.01) were revised in 2022, so pay close attention to make sure you are up to date.
The series, which was inspired in-part by the influx of new players in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is intended as an easily accessible guide for players who may be playing in their first organized leagues or tournaments, as well as a resource for experienced players who want to brush up on specific sections of the rules.
