A disc which has been modified after production such that its original flight characteristics have been altered is illegal, excepting wear from usage during play and the moderate sanding of discs to smooth molding imperfections or scrapes. Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal.
Ya know. I have often wondered a couple of things about the origin of the "painted with a material of detectable thickness" part of this rule.
What was somebody doing that created a perceived advantage that brought about this rule? Has it to do with safety in some way?
My next question is this; If this part of the rule was removed, how would it or could it effect the sport in a negative way?
As far as I am concerned, throw the thing. Bothers me not.
