This message was forwarded to the Freestyle mailing list and I'm
forwarding it to britdisc and eurodisc. I presume "AC" is Arthur
Coddington who works for Mattel promoting Frisbee.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mattel has confirmed that they are putting their Sports Division up for
sale. That includes the Frisbee brand.
During the selling process, Mattel Sports will continue to do business.
Frisbee discs will continue to be manufactured, shipped and sold, and
custom orders will still be available through Discovering The World. Most
sponsorships and promotional programs are on hold, but the World Junior
Frisbee disc Contest will continue this spring and summer. The fate of the
World Junior Frisbee disc Championships, which was to be held during the US
Open, will probably be determined by the buyer of Frisbee.
