Wait.
DD started in frat house basement.
oh.....

Crazy huh? Gotta start somewhere.

 

[Scoot_er]

Um, yeah, exactly. And that team email was so vague, like they are doing it this way because of all the drama that's going on. I think that if they want us to stay on the team they would try a lil harder is all

I just want to get white discs when I ask for them....last time they sent 5 white out of 75 discs after I asked for around half to be white so I could help my friend out who wanted to dye discs.

Oh and Pop-Tops....Why do i get flat Forces when I ask for domey ones?

^^^ Pretty much why I wish we could handpick discs and then Discraft reimburse the store.

 

[PatBlazek]

25 discs for 1st at B-tiers...10 for 2nd

10 discs for 1st at a C-tier.

The cash bonuses I don't remember the exact numbers but something like this;
A-tier
4th -100
3rd-$150 (maybe $200)
2nd $250-$300
1st Think it was $350-400

Well I guess it's not a big deal lol.

It's
4th-$100
3rd-$150
2nd-$200
1st-$300 + Entry Fee back

Pretty sure that's right for A-tiers

Yea, as I was typing those I thought they may be a little high...although the $300 + entry is pretty much $400 or more!

I understand why we don't get exactly what we ask for, it's tough for them to have exactly everything we want available and on top of that they aren't going to specially make the discs just cuz we ask for them, unless you're a world champ.

As for the reimbursing stores for the discs that we want to hand pick out, that would cost Discraft a lot of money as opposed to just them giving us discs from the factory. They will have to reimburse the store at least at cost price which is more expensive then what it actually takes to make the discs.

No, you just give them X-Amount of discs to reimburse. Take it off our allotment..and send the extra discs in the next order. Everything stays balanced and this is what Rusco would do with many players. ...just doubt him doing this anytime in the future.

All I am saying is that I feel wasteful sometimes ordering 20 Nukes to find one that will do what I want......and 15 of them are the same color...usually pink or something else that is hard to sell.

Makes since, I understand where you're coming from.

 

[PatBlazek]

After reading through my posts I just want to make it clear that I am not trying to say anything negative about either company. I was just explaining the predicament I am in and the facts that are influencing my decision. I hope no one takes these the wrong way. Again I love both Discraft and Dynamic Discs, just wish my decision was easier and I had a little more to work with.

I'm seeing a lot of tuff guys starting to throw pink plastic.
They are really easy to find Both summer and winter. I need that in a disc.

But maybe in the states men are moore insecure about their manhood than Swedish men

^^^Pink discs are easy to find period. MVP's hot pink is SICK. My bag is becoming more and more pink as we speak.

I love pink ESP Forces with pop-tops and have a great pink nuke in the bag right now. They are still hard to sell when all you have is one color...variety is the spice of life.

See post above...:clap:

But I will do that the next time I find myself in that predicament.

How much is the bonus money?

So you're that person.

However, if it was me personally, I would be annoyed with both DD and DC for not providing details of sponsorship in 2013. When I take a new job, I know ALL the details. Salary, bonuses, benefits, vacation, etc.
what I'm saying is they should be aware of the explicit details of the sponsorship. If a company wasn't willing to share the exact details with me, the prospective sponsored player, I would be leary of continuing the relationship. My thought would be, 'what are you hiding?' It's 3 days until deadline, and you don't know how you are going to sponsor me?

Ya thats what I took from it too. At least DD is finalizing details and doesnt want to give you the wrong information. DC not being forth coming would turn me away quickly personally. I would choose DD just because they are being straight up.
btw I dont think DD put the deadline on anyone.

Maybe thats just it. "We only want those loyal to us" "You should be grateful with what we give you. Kind of like clicky kids in HS are/were. Taking it personal rather than a business stand point.
The more I read the less attractive Discraft sounds.

 

[chrishysell]

It's got to be pure torture to be put on a deadline to make a decision between 2 or more sponsors. I'm tortured every year waiting to see if i'm still sponsored by one company. Don't get old, don't ever get old.

That's not my goal though, not trying to make them sound less attractive. They're a great company and if they want to wait till next year than that's their decision.

Pink is Power!
I know plenty of people who love Pink Nukes!

I know you're not. I just hate sponsors/employers that are vague but want your support. Gets under my skin.
