We're still taking sponsors of all kinds and there are plenty of Tee Sign Sponsorships left - that's a great way to get your name on a sign you get to keep after the tournament and to help support the tourney. We'll add to the list as we get more. Thanks to all who have supported the tournament. Without sponsors we wouldn't have a tournament.

R-Pro Rocs


Who doesn't like a Roc? Ok, those who throw the Buzzz. But for those who love the Roc, it is now available in R-Pro. Players who love the Roc AND love the added grip of R-Pro will love the new R-Pro Roc. It is great for accurate Mid-Range shots in all weather conditions. Try one when the weather looks questionable, or if you just love the feel of R-Pro.


Now in stock at Disc 'n Dat.

Rules School


The PDGA is introducing a new feature to their site: Rules School. I think this is a good feature and hope you will check it out. I'm putting the first paragraph of the first in the series - Interference - on here and then you can click the link if you'd like to read further - it really is pretty interesting and helpful for playing in tournaments. It clarifies some things for you.


Rules School is a new PDGA series to highlight and explain each section of the PDGA Rulebook. Interference 803.07 is the first installment. A recent event brought up some interesting issues pertaining to Interference. So this looked like a good topic to kick off the series. The format will be to reproduce a passage from the rulebook and then discuss its background and meaning along with some real world examples to illustrate the points.
Rule 803.07A: A thrown disc that hits another player, spectator, or animal shall be played where it comes to rest.
A moving disc contacts a living object that is unaware the disc is coming toward it or is unable to get out of the way fast enough. The disc is marked and played from where it lands after the deflection. The thrower does get an OB penalty if the deflection is unlucky and the disc ends up OB. This is no different from the randomness of a disc deflecting OB off a tree branch waving in the wind – 300 milliseconds later the disc might have missed the waving branch completely.
For more on the Interference Rule and there is a bunch more. Good stuff.
