Your disc does not have to be at rest before you move toward it. Inside the 10m circle you must demonstrate balance before you contact the playing surface forward of your lie.

A couple of years ago at the Aloha Sushi Classic, Gordy K. had a very similar looking result of a putt. Upside down, balanced on the nubs, rocking in the wind. His didn't fall into the basket, it just stayed there. We gave him the putt. My rational was that the rule says the disc has to be supported by the chains or the bottom or the inside surface of the lower entrapment. So where does the inside surface of the lower entrapment end? I say that spot must be on the exact top of the nubs or top rail. Like the line of play the line itself has no width so a disc that is rocking on top of the nubs is touching the inside of the cylinder at least half the time. Close enough in my book, advantage goes to the player.

I know that the recent rule change about legal putts were made to make "bad" putts not count (wedges, entering through the side etc.). Personally I think I would simplify the rule to say that any putt that is fully supported by the basket (and nothing else) counts. That would mean some "bad" putts would count, things like discs resting on top and wedges, but it would be simple which I think is a benefit. Currently there are still some "bad" putts that can count, like a disc that bounces off a tree into the basket or one that enters through the side but is not witnessed by anyone. There are plenty of great putts that don't end up too! Anyway, just my opinion.
