You ask, "Peter the IOC just recognized the WFDF. If you are reelected would you advocate that the PDGA join the WFDF so that disc golf can get back into the world games and potentially the Olympics if disc sports keep on growing?"
It all depends on how we deal with the drug testing issues. We couldn't get into the World Games or the Olympics unless we had a drug-testing program that was consistent with their requirements. I've looked at the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) requirements and find them so daunting that I'm not even ready to recommend we start down that path at this time.
I believe that we used to be a member of WFDF, and split because they had policies we were unwilling to accept. There's no advantage in joining WFDF if that is still true.
If we rejoin the WFDF we may be able to receive some funding from the USOC.
