That's a little over-dramatic. It's also incorrect as it is clearly the same sport. They don't break out into a soccer match to tie-break a college football game.

What is not skillful, fair, consistent and timely about a scorecard playoff. My preference is a sudden death playoff beginning at hole 1. Unless the players tie all holes, the tournament is over at the end of the last scheduled round. Nothing is more timely. It tests skill. The only fairness and...

I don't see it in the rules, of course, but I wonder what, if any, objection there would be to a scorecard playoff in a situation where there is limited daylight for a playoff.

Weird that you would think that I was somehow "pissed off" simply for labeling your unhelpful review as unhelpful. It seems pretty telling that you would make that up. Anyway, when I travel, I search the map based on course rating, typically starting with a 3.5. What I would find in that area is...

My local course used a non-slip top coating. As soon as the grit wore out of it (in less than 6 months) it was worse than what it replaced. The problem with the concrete tees at that course is that the smooth gravel aggregate had become exposed and was very slippery when even slightly damp. I...

Another Update. I'm only really paying attention to the complaints. The MPO player above mentioned that they are too grippy. The only UDisc reviewer to have mentioned them thinks that they are too slippery. So, after about a 1-1/2 months, those are the only negative comments that I have...

Why do you think that I will get headaches and complaints for requiring fewer rollers that would not occur if I required more rollers? BTW, one of my rationales for not requiring all rollers is that some holes just don't set up for rollers at all. And some of those holes cross relatively wide...

Update on new pads: The feedback that I have gotten on these pads has been almost universally positive, almost. One MPO player claims that they are too grippy and don't allow him to rotate his plant foot. I don't want to dismiss this negative feedback, but I am considerably heavier than him and...

Maybe on one of the holes, but I could play the tournament from the red tees to alleviate that possibility.

This was my first inclination - to require one roller on every hole. My scoring solution is basically the same as yours - I just added in the "uncounted" throws up front to end up with a final score that could be compared to an ordinary round. Unfortunately, not every hole on this course is...

My intention with the it-is-a-roller-if-it-rolls rule was to take away as much subjectivity and potential conflict as possible. I too have unsuccessfully attempted to throw a roller before. Why wasn't it a roller? Because it didn't roll. An "accidental roller" is a roller. Why? Because it rolls...

I got it free of course, but I did research this type of product a little when I first got the call about them. DunkStar makes a product that looks very similar at a cost of about $3.00 per square ft. In trying to budget what we got in order to have enough extra tiles to put tee pads on some of...

Yes. That is already answered by the definition of "Roller." Any roll makes it a roller.

So I ordered one package of HexPave "tiles" and, before I got a chance to install it, a local disc golfer called me with an offer to deliver to the course some court surface tiles (Product Page) that he was removing from a local home. It ended up being 1500 square feet of tiles that were used as...

I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but here goes . . . I want to run a tournament that requires a certain number of rollers be thrown by each player. I'll call it a Roller Derby (I know). For background, this is on a newish, 21-hole disc golf course on a 9-hole golf course. Almost all of the...

Well, that's a complete change of subject but I'm glad you aren't still trying to say a birdie is a "score." Face saved, I suppose. Of course, you could also just figure out the highest number of strokes for which it is impossible for anyone to hole out with a C1 putt, and add 1 to get birdie...
