What would you prefer.

Steve Carson and I are going to be running a tournament in June and we would like to see what the masses would be interested in in terms of player's pack discs...

We will be doing Champion Teebirds for sure, I was also thinking that Pro Starfires would be a good choice.

Anyhow, the list above are the ONLY molds I'll be considering, feel free to ask for whatever you want, but if it aint on the list above, it's not going to be considered. (One of the major joys of running things is you get to do what you want) :)

[Adam Schneider]

Isn't the Pro Starfire actually the SL?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

[keys]

According to Innova, Yes.

[snap7times]

no.... those are completely seperate discs, the starfire and the starfire-L *SL*...
And that is just F'd up, saying you guaranteed to get champ teebird and the other option is a starfire, and nothing else will be considered?
We ordred
KC pro Avair
pro destroyers
dx ontario glow rocs
champ leopards
for the ODDGC.... so avoid those! ;)

Try to get r-pro plastic if you can or the star bosses...
The poll list didnt show till after i posted.... anyways...

[gwillim]

And that is just F'd up, saying you guaranteed to get champ teebird and the other option is a starfire, and nothing else will be considered?

Well, it's more like we're doing Champion Teebirds, and then 8 other discs will be considered...the ones in the list above.

Nothing outside of the list will be considered.

[snap7times]

just looked at my list that i got from innova last month, dont see any pro valks available. As for avair, they offering all types right now... same for the roc, except those special ones ofc... you guys have a recent copy of what innova has in stock? Cuz i can see at least 20 discs that would blow that list out of the water... ofc, my own opinion...
dont see champ shark either... justttt fyi, unless you got a more updated list then cool...

[dan]

If there are a limited number of discs available at a tourney (2 in this example), it seems like a safer bet going with a mid or a putter. There aren't as many common options. For example, how many people do you know who throw neither a Roc or a Buzz? Pretty few. That makes those discs good ones to offer. You can't say the same thing about any 2 drivers.

So I voted for the Roc.

Editing to address Snap:
When you say, "blow that list out of the water," do you mean discs that are generally harder to find? There's a big difference between the discs you want for a players pack and those you want for sales/fundraising. The players pack discs should be the discs that would be most useful to the greatest number of players. The hard to find or specialty discs are better for selling separately.

Ok what i mean is if gonna look into avair, which is listed as dx avair, would you rather a jk, kc, glow champ, or star avair? Or for the roc, which is listed as a rachno dx roc above, or could get the kc pro, star classic roc, star ontario roc, dx san marino, dx ontario glow... And you are correct about the ones you want to give in players pack versus the ones you want to sell... and i do realize i sounded like an axx above.. so apologizes and hope no offense is taken by my overzealousness...

[Sam]

I voted Leopard. It seemed to me to be the opposite disc to the TeeBird so I went that way.

It's your tournament, though. Do what you want. No way you will make everyone happy. :cheers:

Apology excepted.

I do not have a list, this is the way preliminary stages for me. I didn't really want to be critiqued for my list, just wanted to see what people would be interested in from the list I gave. Maybe I shouldn't have put up a poll and rather just allow ppl to babble on about why the disc they want is the best choice, etc. To be honest, I don't really care, and there is a good chance I'll just end up going with what I decide anyhow, but I am curious about what ppl would choose from the list above.

As far as the Aviar goes, I would be getting the good ol' Avia P&A.

[TYVEK]

if it isnt Discraft, then i dont want any!!!!!

its not like my opinion matters at all, but i just wanted to throw this in.:nono: :nahnah:

i voted for the beast. it is a very underated disc in my opinion.

[Adam Schneider]

no.... those are completely seperate discs, the starfire and the starfire-L *SL*...
Look again. Innova says the Pro Starfire (but ONLY the Pro) is actually the same mold as the SL.

[gwillim]

Sweet, then when you come down to play the tournament, I'll just keep your free plastic for myself. :)

[Joshua Olmsted]

I'll second the Discraft rally cry (a little quieter) I wish I saw it more in the Oregon tournament scene, as far as tourney discs go. As far as the Innova selection, I still love the Pro Starfire, great disc, and a good driver for most players.

Well, the tournament's actually going to be in Washington :p

The Oregon Series gave Discraft a pretty good bid a few years ago and people would choose the Innova products 9 times out of 10.

Personally, I prefer Discraft, and have been throwing their plastic probably longer than most players here have been golfing. However, the general player in our region throws almost all Innova, with the exception of a large buzzz contingent. I would totally love to do Discraft, and I promise (seriously) to look into Dcraft for player's packs for the second event we're running. For this event, Innova has already been decided on.

alright now you have got my curiosity up! what tournament is this? my wife and i have talked about going into oregon maybe to play some this summer. we are both doing the BSF and she might do the chick flick. if this one intrests us, then maybe.............. if not just give my free plastic to Lundy. :cheers:

[gwillim]

alright now you have got my curiosity up! what tournament is this?

It's an Amateur Only C-Tier that will be happening at Leverich Park (Vancouver, WA) on June 27th-28th. I can't release any more details until Steve and I get a few more things ironed out.

what about AM only with OPEN caddies??! :D:jumpspin:

this would be a great tourny to introduce the spelling bee into!!

[gwillim]

Yes, Rebecca may caddie for you, but I'm only allowing it because you asked so nicely.

There will be no bee at the event.

[Sam]

In June? I bet there are lots of bees at the event.

I did Discraft the first year I did the RCO. Bear in mind, I like pissing people off most of the time... :laughing:

[snap7times]

No bees? That is a heck a lotta work to guarantee that... :)
Gwilliummy, I sent you an email with the most updated list that I have on hand from innova...

[E-ROC]

I picked the Champion Leopard because it is in italics for some reason and I don't have any back-ups at the moment that I really need.

This poll reminds me of the carnival game where you shot water into a clown's mouth with horses racing to the finish line. Go Leopard go, go, go. You can do it!!

P.S. I do feel kind of dirty for picking the same disc as Sam did, but as he said the Leopard is so opposite as a tee-bird as opossed to a beast or shark haha.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I thought the same thing! :biggrin2: For me, there is only one Tournement disc in my bag, the rest hang on the wall. So which disc it is, isn't going to impact me too much. If the disc happens to be something I might throw and I can pick up a second or third one, then that's a different story.

Go Leopard go! :cheerleader:

To be honest, I think you're acting pretty snobby so why don't you just order all Teebirds since that's what YOU want... :rolleyes2::rolleyes2:

I'm not 100% sure, and I didn't realize it until re-reading several times, but I was under the impression that he was going to order Teebirds AND one other disc, and this poll/thread was to figure out what the other one would be.

[essjay]

Leopard! I could use one (at least a back up) after the Leverich stabbing. Makes me realize how short a disc's life really can be. :sob:

Actually I'm still using it. Thus, back up.

:D

Patrick,

That's totally a fair assessment. When it comes to disc golf and disc selection, I am a snob.

The reason I'm not ordering all Teebirds is because I like variety and options. The reason I am definitely ordering Teebirds is because I believe that it is one of the best control drivers on the market, and I believe that just about every amateur player would benefit greatly from learning to throw a Teebird.

-Ryan

[snap7times]

If I throw you a different bird, do you still think I would benefit greatly?

[gwillim]

Heck, it's worth a try!

[captain jack]

Wheres the CFR Glow TL ?

[snap7times]

Where's your money?

[Sausage Fingers]

The only disc that I throw from that list is the Aviar so I voted for it!:pirate:
