(and, the way it was worded, it ignored all of the IB stuff a disc could hit besides the ground, so it was confusing too.)
You can not specify required shots. I specifically asked the PDGA when I ran my Ice Bowl, because I wanted to require a roller hole and a putter hole etc...
However requiring a retee for not making the inbounds line is perfectly legal because that's also called a mando. Envision it like the TD was making a fake island hole and anything that is not IB is considered water.
