This is not meant to initiate a host of e-mails, but I would be interested to 
know the response of the appropriate person/people at the BUF to the following:

Are there any plans to ensure that there is a supply of quality game discs at 
some, or preferably all tournaments endorsed by the BUF?

It often appears difficult to have a constant supply of game discs at 
tournaments. I sympathise and agree unreservedly with the reluctance of players 
to allow the few decent discs that they have to be used in tournament games, 
give the possibility that this disc may become damaged or mislaid during the 
course of the event.

I believe there was a discussion of this nature on Britdisc last year, which is 
why I am would not expect a large number of discussive replies, but I would like
to know if the following suggestion would be consider viable by those people on 
the BUF committee that could make a decision on the matter:

Would it be possible for the BUF to obtain a supply of game discs, marked as 
such and printed with the BUF logo, that the organisers of tournaments would be 
able to purchase at cost, in order to guarantee quality discs for all games? I 
imagine this cost would be passed on to the competitors as a small increase in 
the tournament fee. Is it likely that this increase in cost would be accepted in
order prevent players going home from a tournaments with fewer discs, just 
because they allowed there disc to be used for games?

Correct me if I am wrong, but in every ball sport I have played it has been the 
responsibility of the host of any event to provide players with balls of 
sufficient quality so that this does not become a hinderance to competitive 
play.

I look forward to hearing your views

Colin
