This is a great idea (Provided somebody can remember how many times they've lost
the disc). And provides good experience against say a cup in a strong wind!!

Another possibility could be the removal of players depending on the lead.
e.g. For every two point lead, the higher ranked team loses a player (i.e. a
four point differnce would cost 2 players). Then, Every time the lead is
breached, (i.e. the lower rank team score) they get a player back. Thus enabling
the lower ranked team a 'catch up' advantage
