You make the call.

That wholly depends on if anyone called 3 minutes or if everyone was searching and as such I vote option #2.

It`s too open ended of a question.Was Brett out after everyone drove,was his shot 450 uphill,were we at,"The Rock"where it may take 10 minutes to walk down to the pin?
I took the fourth choice anyway.

I guess there is no correct choice as #4 and #2 are the same thing. The question didn't give the info that they had arrived where the disc was last seen and searched 3 minutes, in which case the answer would be #5.

#4 and #2 are not the same.2 allows you to play the disc wherever it ends up many minutes after it was stuck in a tree.Hypothetically 4 minutes later it may come out of the tree and roll out of bounds,or roll toward the pin.4 does not allow this.

It is Bretts turn to throw, and he walked at a normal pace towards his disc. It doesn't matter if it has been 4 and a half minutes or 10 minutes. The disc fell out of the tree before he got there.

I wish I could throw far enough that it took 4 minutes to get to my drive. WTG, Brett!

A thrower must declare their disc missing to begin the 3 minute clock...

I got a little quick on the vote. I REALLY ment to say, play it where it lies, no penalty.

STR8 is as lucky as Mace!

I've seen this happen at the Shunga. Disc was up the tree, and fell down as we approached the disc eating tree.

Anita is correct. Brett is as lucky as Mace. It doesn't matter how long your disc has been stuck in a tree. If it falls out without being helped, mark it and play with no penalty. That is why you don't want to go up and knock it out of the tree until it is your turn to throw.

At World Doubles 1 year. Claytons disc got stuck in the tree during worst shot, so Nolan tried to blast it out of the tree from the tee pad. Shook the tree, but the disc stayed.

Brett STR8 throws a disc that lands 6 feet 7 inches up in a tree that is fully in bounds. As he is walking to the tree, his disc falls out of the tree. However, at least four minutes have elapsed since the disc came to rest in the tree. What is the rulin
