PDGA Rules! is an attempt at educating existing players on obscure rules of tournament play as well as making competitive play less intimidating for beginners.

We'll start today by clearing up a popular misconception among players that you cannot borrow discs from other players during a round.

The original question was asked, "what are your options if you lose all your discs during a tournament round?"

Your options are to a) retrieve a disc from your car (if parked nearby), b) buy a disc from an on-site vendor or c) borrow a disc from another player in your group.

It is a popular misconception that players cannot exchange discs during a round. There actually is no rule banning this practice. The rules only indicate that the disc must clearly be marked.
