I noticed today that MVP had pulled Nikko from their website. I am assuming that this may have something to do with the fact they were sponsoring him but he threw none of their discs in tournaments.
I play a mixed bag, and the idea of playing only one brand would put me out greatly. I like the fact that MVP, Legacy and Gateway allow their players to mix their bags, but to be fair to the sponsors, the player should be required to play with a percentage of the companies discs.
Like ball golf... Some ball golfers have a full sponsorship, where all their clubs must be a brand; others have multiple partial sponsorships, where they have a required number in their bag.
Disc golf is a bit different, as we have no limit of discs we can carry, but a percentage model would work. Something along these lines perhaps:
What are your thoughts?

- Full : 100%
- Major : 60%
- Partial : 40%
- Special : putters only, drivers only....mix and match
