As for the ball bouncing out of the 6" hole...look, it's not USGA rules so just consider the putt holed...most of you take mulligans, move the ball in the fairways and rough so calling a putt sunk with a bounce out should be a no brainer....
It's a ring. That means it's a circular or surrounding line or mark. The line could be 1/2' wide. They would use a template and the spray paint green that is used to prep a PGA event. They could even pour soil/sand mix in the template.
I thought it out.
