And how would you answer this question?
Question 18: Disc Moved
Player A is parked under the basket, and player B putts out, and picks up player A’s disc saying 'That’s a gimme' and hands the disc to player A. How should player A proceed?
A) Player A moves to the next hole and counts the gimme on his score.
B) Player A puts the disc back to its approximate location and throws their next shot with no penalty.
C) Player A puts the disc back to its approximate location and throws their next shot. Both Player A and Player B receive a one throw penalty.
D) Player A puts the disc back to its approximate location and throws their next shot with no penalty. However player B gets a one throw penalty.
E) Player A puts the disc back to its approximate location and throws their next shot with no penalty. Player B is disqualified for intentional interference.

I say I'd like to read the official rules twice before making a call.

Is this a PDGA event?
I think the answer is B but if you wanted to be a prick you could likely penalize player B for intentionally movin your disc....Answer D. PLayer A would never be penalized

I just assumed it was because it is a "PDGA officials test".

The answer is B. The penalty for intentional interference a disc is 2 stroke penalty. That isn't offered, so I went with B. I was right.

This means that player "B" didn't intend to move the disc.
Another example of wink-wink-nudge-nudge lax attitudes in the rules. In a tourney, if you do something like this to someone else's disc, you should be penalized.
Think about it. The guy intentionally tried to circumvent the rules, and was looking for your cooperation in doing so. Gimmes are for frolfers, and to be given only in match play.

That's what I thought too. But the option of a 2 stroke penalty wasn't given. I went with the no penalty.
Do I think the gimmie is OK to do? Yes. At LNF I do it all the time. For a gimmie/drop in. But for a PDGA tournament it should be following the rules to the word of the book.
Other than that, the test was pretty straight forward.

You hit it spot-on: A PROFESSIONAL tournament needs to hold its pros to account.
{Aside: when I read the question, without even looking at the answers I thought, "2 strokes! They're equating willful interference with misguided sportsmanship; nice!", then I noticed 2 strokes wasn't given.}
Why does the PDGA insist that their professionals deserve to be treated with the kid gloves that they'd want amateurs to be treated with?
Here's an answer for you: Because they aren't willing to separate the two!
I call it greed. They'll lose their revenue, paltry as it is, by doing this. Too bad that it needs to be done...

Probably goes with the fact they aren't only dealing with "professional" DGers. Maybe the two need to seperate. Maybe it's about time to "earn" your pro card.
