American Disc Golf Tour

- Start date
No clue what the ADGT cutoff date was, but the Compass was PDGA approved on December 9, 2015.
Culverin, Longbowman, Defender and Cutlass are 2016s. If he's bagging one of those, RELEASE THE HOUNDS!
Before you release the hounds, it appears that they might not be enforcing their rules:

Sounds like they got zero discs submitted...
I'm thinking XFL.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Salient clearly in league with Satan!
Yep. Andy, you're in that 5 percent that has dealt with them.
Honestly, I'm surprised no one has jumped on this yet: Apparently the only threshold for moving up to ESPN2 is production quality, not number of views on the live stream. That is...interesting.
I've kept my mouth mostly shut about all of this, but the one thing I have said and will continue to say is they are intentionally misrepresenting their relationship with ESPN to us (being the general disc golf public).
All I'm going to say is, they approached ESPN, they weren't sought out, and they weren't the first contact with disc golf that ESPN has had.
They're holding those 4 letters over everybody because they know the fascination that comes with it.
So, tell us how you really feel.
This is true. A local company around here had a promotion that if a particular baseball player hit a grand slam in a particular month they'd give everyone who bought stuff from them in the last so many months their money back. Then said player hits a grand slam. They interviewed the company owner, and he was ecstatic that they had done the give away. He had insurance on the promotion, so it didn't cost him anything to refund all the people with the purchases, and he got a ton of promotion from it. They still do promotions like that, because it's actually good for business. If ADGT has insurance on the jeep promotion then it would be great for them to actually get an ace as it would bring a ton of publicity to them.

No doubt. It's the only reason we covered this event in the first place, but also why we very clearly made sure to put the 3 there and included the quotes from Graham about it being a paid portal.
And I don't really believe them that there is no viewership threshold in order to be bumped up. Without seeing the contract it's hard to verify though.
I remember them indicating they needed 25,000 views per ESPN, but don't recall if that was for future broadcast rights or exactly what.
That one sentence by Dana probably had more influence than this entire thread -- at least to the touring pros.

I couldn't help but think of Trump reading the quotes from the ADGT.
"We're going to be doing a couple things that have never been done on live broadcasts on any sport anywhere," Boucher said. "It's never been done. I'm not saying [what they are], you're going to have to watch. That's the teaser. The way we are going to pull this off – there's a couple things being done, we've spoken to ESPN, it has never been done before. They're excited to see if we pull it off. We're excited about it, and we are hoping it comes off as good as it is in our head."
Haha, I'm not telling you my plan, but it's a great great plan! I think as plans go it's one of the best.

Hoping Ricky wins so he gets the camera time and interviews like I said before. Better for the sport that he IS playing.
Would be kind of a downer if this was the only thing he won this year... Bigger respect for Ricky now that he's left prodigy, go get 'em

This is funny. I need an ESPN login, I don't have cable... Hopefully someone on here figures a way to get this streamed to the cable cutters
You, sir, just won the Internet.
I could probably stream it via twitch but the sun is actually supposed to poke through the clouds on Sunday and I can probably come up with at least 20 other things I would rather spend my time doing rather than watching this nonsense.
Not to mention, I like ESPN3 and don't want to risk losing access for violating their terms of service.
This is not true. Any broadcast with a key icon next to it indicates that is restricted to only users with cable subscriptions that offer ESPN3. The American Open has that key icon.
Nearly everything is restricted in this way. My guess is that maybe some international broadcasts are not?
