I will tell you one DG media thing. Later this year the national broadcasting company is airing a half hour documentary about Tuomas Hyytiäinen, who won the first non-US Discmania Combine and became a Team Discmania player. The premiere is actually tomorrow, on my home course after a one-round competition.
You may ask "Who?" but the bigger question is, in what other country than Finland would they do something like that?
Paige Pierce signed a 3 year contract extension per DD FB post.

From Estonia: unfortunately all three Tattar, Lätt and Tamm stayd true to Lat64 and signed for 2019. Discraft offer was on the table, but somehow was not enough.
My biggest question out of all of this:
Who gets their name on the Star Destroyer cash cow now?
And what BBQ sauce comes with it now?
Based on her repeatedly saying DD is home to her, yada..yada...friends...family...etc.
1) The fact that there was even a decision to be made was interesting.
2) Surprised something long term with DD other than 3 years was not announced.
She'll be 30 when the new contract expires. It does seem like that's the magic age in disc golf for something major to change.
Also, I've speculated that Paul left Innova for (likely) Discraft for reasons more than just money. I don't think that about Wysocki; I suspect his main reasons are green dollar bills... or better BBQ sauce.
A 5 year contract seems dumb for a disc golfer. Tying yourself down for that long when a potentially better deal could come along in 2-3 years. I get the appeal of financial security, but it seems like companies are investing a little more in their players now. Why not sign a shorter contract to see if that growth continues and get a better deal sooner?

Do you mean that Discraft wasn't willing to pay Paul a higher salary than Innova?.
Not all that surprised either, but with an expiring contract there was some speculation. Of course, no one thought McBeth would leave Innova either after all his professed love for the brand and now he will be throwing different plastic.
Both Paige's signed 3 year deals with DD, must be the longest they are willing to offer at this time.
From the DD Carrollton event, there were a lot of questions about Nate Perkins jumping to DD, but he was pretty adamant that he was working on a deal to stay with Discmania.
For what it's worth, Memphis style BBQ sauce. Hot and sweet is where it is at.
I believe little Paige's was 2 years
