Why wouldn't you just play directly above the lie? I thought that was the intention of the rule. Same thing if you are under a bridge but not OB, you can just play on top of the bridge.

803.08 Disc Above or Below the Playing Surface

A. If a disc comes to rest above the playing surface in a tree or other object on the course, its lie shall be marked on the playing surface directly below it. If the point directly below the disc above the playing surface is an out-of-bounds area, the disc shall be declared out-of-bounds and marked and penalized in accordance with 803.09. If the playing surface directly below the disc is inside a tree or other solid obstacle, the lie shall be marked on the line of play immediately behind the tree or other solid obstacle. The director may designate a one throw penalty for discs that come to rest two meters or higher above the playing surface. The director may declare the two meter rule to be in effect for the entire course, or just for individual objects.

B. If a disc comes to rest below the playing surface, its lie shall be marked on the playing
surface directly above it. If the point directly above the disc is an out-of-bounds area, the
disc shall be declared out-of-bounds and marked an penalized in accordance with 803.09. If the playing surface directly above the disc is inside a solid obstacle, the lie shall be marked on the line of play immediately behind the solid obstacle.

the crack and inside is part of the playing surface unless it is declared that its not. Its in bounds, and you can take a legal throw from there.

Playing surface is not defined (you guys seem, to think that playing surface is what you see if your floating 400 feet above the hole looking down).

Playing surface is each and every spot you can take a legal throw from. You can take a legal throw from down there, moving it from there is just like moving it from anywhere else really.
Another problem is playing surface is not properly defined, and where it is defined refers to 2D surfaces like soccer and ping pong.

I would give someone dangerous lie though,

[Rolly]

Send it to the PDGA rules people...

I was looking for that section in the rules where stuff is defined, my searches missed that. Okay ya its unreasonable, but you should not be able to move it up beside the basket

[Rolly]

I think its unreasonable that a player can expect a reasonable lie in DG
Come on were playing the more adventurous version of golf here. And if you throw it in the crap you should be penalized. It should say "Put your foot behind it and throw", ( Or Take a dangerous lie or casual). The rules make this hole totaly stupid. And in a tourny its a total local hole, throw it in the crack for a 2, boo

[lissyssil]

Apparently, the RC has responded that the disc should be marked on the green, above the crack.

The pussification of america even has its tenticles in DG. Get down get dirty, stick your foot behind the disc and throw. Yup one might need to be creative, you might get dirty, you might even get a bruise, wanh. Maybee Mom can bring a helmet.

This sport is "easy" enough, it does not need to be so easy " a player is entitled to a reasonable stance without penalty."

You want a reasonable stance, make a reasonable throw.

You guys get angry at everything, eh?

I think you may be confusing anger with indignation.
