This really sounds like a great way to make sore losers into real *******s.
Good effort.

I'm gonna guess that there are no hot stamps or stickers on the discs that are tested by the PDGA for approval. If its OK for the mfg to modify approved discs with hot stamps & stickers then why would that be an issue for others?
Probably because it's a lot easier for the PDGA to monitor manufacturers who decide to go overboard with something completely unintended than it is to monitor every person who plays a PDGA sanctioned event.
If Innova takes the current rule and finds a loophole to do something advantageous...other manufacturers either copy that or the PDGA shuts it down. They don't want individuals doing the same thing because that's a lot harder to monitor/control/rescind.
God bless the middle managers who find useless things to make important.
Am over here, busily trying to figure out how a hot stamp which is microns thin, and virtually weightless has ANY impact on anything other than simple aesthetics. Can't.

Here is a recent example; stickers applied by manufacturer; after I purchased it. I am playing with this. I thought is was cool plus I'm using it as a unique mark. What should I do?
I have some discs that got stamped repeatedly and there is a definite thickness change. From the manufacturer.
You're way more likely to get called on both a 30s violation and a foot fault in every tournament you ever play than ever once a sticker. (My humble opinion)
Except I was given a courtesy warning because my disc had a glow sticker on it about the size of a quarter.
"I wouldn't say anything, but someone else might".

I have made players remove glow crap from their discs at roughly the same frequency that I have seen foot faults called over the years. Both of these are waaaaay more common than calls on time, not that any of them occur on a regular basis.
I forgot about glow stickers. I was thinking a Discraft weight sticker equivalent. Would you call for a price tag? Curious.
I've always found this weird. I get that it's not just about the teeeeeeeny tiny thickness of the stamp, but because of how the stamping process can deform the disc. That's kind of why it seems odd, to me.
I have 3 Nukes, and each of them has radically different shapes - including one that's so weird you'd think it was some weird mold like the ones Quest used to make (which also has multiple hot stamps from the factory).
If the intention is to not have the flight altered, how is it an approved mold can be so wildly out of spec, and still be an allowed disc?
That doesn't even begin to get into the differences in the shoulder and dome of the Comet over the years...
