Marking Throws For Distance

Rules

Each throw will be measured from a point on the inside-upper edge of the trig closest to where the competitor's plant foot (left foot for a right-handed competitor) landed to the nearest break in the ground made by the implement (not including the handle

What about if a right handed thrower plants with the left foot outside the box and spins around on the right foot in the front center of the trig???

Do you measure from the left side or center of the trig???

you can have one foot outside the box to the side... I just am trying to vision the spinning around on the right foot - seeing how it is not the plant.... a foul may be the least of the thrower's problems

another way to look at the question is a person who places the front leg to the side of the box on a braemar throw - Harvey Barkaukas? Anyone?

On a legal throw you measure from the point on the inside edge of the trig closest to the competitor's plant foot. Period. If the plant foot is outside the box this rule still applies but now the corner of the trig is the closest point on the inside edge. Don't overcomplicate it.
