A start was made at this by a number of tour tournaments and Indoor
regionals / Nationals. This year I would expect that all the indoor
regionals and Nationals to have a supply of Game discs for obvious reasons.
The tour last year, and again I expect it to continue, will probably provide
each team with a disc rather than game discs. People inevitably pick up /
throw away / walk off / put in bag, game discs that are provided. That makes
it un-viable. But if each team gets a brand new disc - with their name
already on it then each game should have two new good quality discs
arriving, and teams will also be responsible for their disc. And you get to
take it home with you if you look after it.

Subject: Provision of game discs
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
