Emac just said on the Understable Minds podcast that DD has already signed 2 pros and are just waiting to announce it. Joel Freeman and Gavin Rathbun? Total guess.

Hammes would be a good pickup, unless he's already extended with Discraft?

According to U-Disc, Hammes has a Dominance Index of 22.49 so he would be a great pickup for any company.
In other news, what the heck is the Dominance Index?
Seriously though, I would think Discraft would do everything they could to keep Hammes.

"What is Dominance Index?
Dominance Index is a way to directly compare two players."
Unfortunately, my copy and paste lost images within the text so I just copied the very basic answer. Someone with better skills can probably copy the whole answer.
I took a screenshot.
Yeah, I had already read U-Disc's explanation of Dominance Index. It was a sarcastic question..."what the F is Dominance Index!"
I would be interested in seeing how U-disc comes up with each players' number.
I figured you probably did. But, just in case, now it's there for everyone to see.
And, yes, knowing how they get that number would be interesting.
According to U-Disc's explanation of the Dominance Index it only works for Head to Head matchups between 2 players.
I kind of like the idea of it, but there is not a whole lot of match play going on these days.
It works for multiple players, but the formula for using it is way more complicated.
You got to play with Steve Rico? Cool!At the outset (prior to Prodigy having close to a full line) there were Prodigy players throwing other discs with wiped stamps, I don't think there was any claiming they were Prodigy discs going on though- more of a "don't ask, don't tell" type thing. This was not the first incidence of that sort of thing. I played with one of Discraft's top players in the late 90's who had an old roc in his bag with no stamp and the words "roll bitch" on it in sharpie.

Wouldn't it be basically the same? E.G. for four players:
P1 (probability player 1 wins) = D1 / (D1+D2+D3+D4)
Or am I oversimplifying it?
And here I thought a "Dominance Index" was a medical procedure us guys had to get when we turn 40
