I'm trying to think of a way to drum up the number of Polecat users so that one day Innova might actually sell enough to consider producing in a premium plastic.

What if we offer a prize (a new disc or something) for people that can throw a Polecat the farthest? They do a video, have the distance verified via google earth or something and the winner gets a prize. And we win b/c we prompt people to burn $8 on that Polecat gathering dust in their local store that otherwise would have never tossed one.

Thoughts?

They should also have to send the Proshop an email requesting Champs and BCC you.

I have a disc or two to put up as a prize.

Eh...why exactly do we want Champ/Star Polecats? I mean, is there one in particular you want for some reason? The slow discs really seem to have the glide sucked out of them in high grade plastic; not sure what good a glideless Polecat would do.

The Champ Sonics (super sonics) don't lack for any glide. They're really light but if they were conventional weight they'd still be cool. Innova has changed their plastic quite a bit so who's to say how a PC would mold up in the new Champ? Are you telling me you wouldn't be intrigued by a gummy, Jolly Launcher Polecat?

Yes, that is what I'm telling you.

Well, I never! Good day to you sir, I said good day!

What if Innova uses the straight face smiley as the stamp? Does that tickle your fancy?

Possibly.

Here's what I'm thinking. 5 prizes (discs) advertised with farthest person getting dibs on what prize he wants and so forth (5th place gets stuck with the disc the other 4 passed on).

Qualifications:

• Must use a Polecat (duh). Any plastic or weight.
• Contestant must film throw and acceptable distance measurement (football field, google earth, string, whatever; hole distances on tee signs not acceptable).
• Throw must be made on relatively flat surface and will be total distance (where it ends up, not where it initially touches down).
• Contestant must state his DGCR username and plug discgolfcoursereview.com in the video. (for example: "I'm Roc Lobster and I'm taking the Polecat Challenge from discgolfcoursereview.com").
• contestant uploads to utube, sending link to me for verification.
• Contest lasts one month, with cutoff date being the last day. (vid must be uploaded to utube by last day, the link can be sent to me after the last day but no later than say a week after last day.)

The dgcr plug will be a nice advertising for the site and since it's the venue for the competition it seems like a no-brainer. Might ask timg if I can get a free sticky in the equipment section for the duration of the contest. Obviously I'm going to have to get more specific and fill in any gray areas or loopholes but any criticism/thoughts/feedback?
