Brodie Smith PDGA #128378

From Discraft? Right now? And receive them before next spring?

Looks like a month lead time currently according to their website. If they are doing what other companies are the disc selection will be pretty limited.

This is pretty much what we have been told. We ran our first tournament ever last weekend, without a disc in the player pack.

How was that received? Did you guys have something else in the player pack instead? Or just have a larger payout? Or decrease entry fee?

If custom orders are going to be difficult or nonexistent in the foreseeable future I'm curious as to what is being well received and what isn't.

I was at an annual party on the west coast of Michigan. I am not sure how well it was received. We heard no squawking when we announced it....so that is a good sign. I think most players are pretty aware of the difficulties getting plastic.

It was an unsanctioned doubles. We did decrease the entry fee some and did not increase payout. Though it is a pretty good payout event. This was the player pack.

Did the "Janice" Thrasher prompt our newly elected PDGA board member to send this tweet to Discraft? Also, literally in stock on OTB!

I think she meant commemorative disc for missy's first elite series win

 

[ejvogie]

The commemorative discs are getting out of hand. We don't need a new stamp any time someone parks a 250' upshot

Mcbeth is easily my favorite player but I can no longer buy anything Discraft after they made 'janice' discs; beyond ridiculous and desperate. Unless of course buying one gets me into a line that allows them to be throw directly at the smith's without any legal ramifications.

Social justice warriors........yikes.

 

[ejvogie]

Well, certainly is crabby. Hopefully gets into that cocoon sooner rather than later and emerges happier.

How is this SJW?

 

[ru4por]

How is this SJW?

*eyeroll* It's not. It is intentionally withholding something from yourself, to attempt to punish an entity, for perceived social inappropriateness. Of course, as with most "boycotts", the said entity could care less about the money or business of the "boycotter". Ultimately just turning out to be self punishing.

The point being....what do I care what Discraft puts on the front of a disc. My Magnets are chain slamming devices, regardless of whom or what they stamp on them.

Maybe I forgot the sarcasm font?

 

[crabapillar]

You don't care what's on your discs but basically every comment that hits this site gets you worked up and you can't resist to spam your opinions on each and every one. Solid logic...

Hopefully they start stamping 'janice' on all magnets next so you can happily pay an extra $5 each if you ever want a new one.

 

[autocrosscrx]

I normally don't care about stamps, but the Janice thing is a bit much for me. That isn't going to stop me from buying a Z Heat/Wasp/Zone, though.

What will stop me from buying Discraft is my local shop not having any to buy.

How can a stamp on a disc get you so triggered. This is the dumbest thing I've read here.

You guys bitch and whine about every single thing Brodie and his wife do.

 

[dehaas]

I could easily be mistaken, but I had always thought that Brodie's releases were more along the lines of him putting in custom orders with Discraft and then selling those custom stamps. The first releases were at Foundation, which he has an ownership stake in. I'm not sure what the dynamic is with his site at Discraft, but Paige has a similar one.

People bashing DC for producing these discs and Missy not getting a disc for her DGPT win…I don't think they're the same situation. DC hasn't produced a stamp for any of their players winning a DGPT event, correct?

Discmania and Innova both have, and that could simply be a matter of contract negotiations. It's pretty common knowledge that there are bonus incentives for winning events. Instead of a fixed cash amount per win players could opt for a commemorative disc release instead, which could potentially be the better paying option, but not necessarily a guaranteed cash amount.

It all boils down to none of us know what the players and manufacturers have agreed to. All we can do is guess.

But yeah, lack of supply is annoying. I honestly think none of us really have any idea the scope of how fast things have grown the last two years and how behind the curve the manufacturers really were with being able to scale their production up that much. It's going to take a long time for things to get caught back up.
