Trinity. Not good enough (or perhaps too good) a title for disc golf. Just right for the first atomic bomb test.

I looked up "prerube". Seems similarly hard-to-find (there's a profile, but not a verb definition). Maybe these things belong in a FAQ.
Seems to me that "trinity" or "triad" make more sense. "Trilogy" suggests that they were three companies who made discs, one company at a time, and then stopped. I figured I could find a thread on this, but not so far.
Who gives a s**t..
DynaSide 64 rolls off the tongue splendidly in my opinion. :\I if remember correctly, it started with people just looking for an abbreviation of sorts when trying to lump the 3 companies together, L64/DD/WS was just too much to type. So, people started just calling it was ever they came up with, trinity, trilogy, triad, triumvirate basically anything that started with tri. Eventually someone suggested the group settle on a name. As stated above a vote was taken. There were all sorts of discussions about why trilogy didn't make sense and others did but, again if I recall correctly, triad was out because it was a gang name and trinity was out because people didn't like the relation to Christianity. Funny thing is, it was both religious people and non religious people that didn't like trinity for the same but opposite reasons.
Fanboys who feel the need to be "sponsored"
It's fine to not care, but I'm interested in knowing the background of the people who did this; understanding the minds of people who make interesting language decisions will help me with my blog.

I still think "Threeway" would've made the most sense.
Why is an organization called the "Professional" Disc Golf Association comprised of a group which 75% of are classified as "amateurs"?
Why do we Americans call the most popular sport here "football" when only two positions who aren't even on the field half the time use their feet? And they only do that as a resignation of sorts.
I don't put much thought into those either.
That sounds like a chemical Dow or Monsanto produced back in the Jurassic Age.DynaSide 64 rolls off the tongue splendidly in my opinion. :\
"Soccer" is the nickname for "Association football", analagous to referring to "Rugby football" as "rugger". "American" and "Canadian" football evolved from Rugby, though there are also more than one kind of rugby: Rugby Union and Rugby League, with different rules and field markings. Then there is "Australian rules football," or "football," or "footy," as they call it in Australia, which also heavily involves running around the field with the ball in hand. Check the links below for some confirmation of that.

Oh, I know the history of all these games. Just trying to show the OP that there are no shortage of things in the world bearing a moniker that perhaps doesn't reflect its current state of being as well as some other moniker could in a linguistic sense, but was stuck with out of respect for tradition, or because it sounded more marketable, or for whatever reason.
Utah Jazz anyone?
