My point? It seems like a lot of people in disc golf really have this obsession with being first, like they are going to get some extra glory out of it. Is that why there are multiple tours, so that someone can be the first one to make it big? I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me if that was some of the motivation behind it.
:clap: Dude, so much this.
ADGT can claim whatever motivation they/he wants, but doing away with PDGA methods and allowing toy distance discs into a competing entity just to get 'on' ESPN has nothing to do with growing the sport, because they won't be presenting the sport as currently played, the version of which has evolved from the very founding.
I don't know the guy, but what I see is someone who loves DG but was unsatisfied enough with his game to allegedly cheat, ill-informed enough to start a company selling inferior products without the integrity to make good to his customers, and now desperate enough to assert his own ego that he's creating a mirrored pseudo sport out of a sport that's just barely making headway in popular consciousness.
I don't see this event/events ever even taking place. If they do, I can't wait to get hit by an Aerobie from 900' on my local course because some kid dug one out of his garage after seeing it on the Ocho.
