Minis marking a disc don't make a lot of sense. Why bother?
If we just allowed using another disc as the marker it wouldn't change anything.
If we got rid of taking the diameter of the disc closer by using a marker disc, which seems counter to the intent of the game to me but that may be a separate question, then if the player wanted to use the thrown disc again just replace the disc with another one.
I'm sure I'm over-simplifying things and there's some reason we use a mini disc -- but I'm relatively adept with geometry and with the exception of the thrown disc that you're marking, the circle you're using to replace the disc's diameter doesn't really impact the distance of the next throw.
Seems odd that mini discs are mandated in our rules -- why? Seems like any of the discs we use could just as easily serve the same purpose.
What am I missing?
