In a casual round, throw what ever you want. Approved, not approved, heck, throw a garbage can lid if you want to! But in a tournament, there has to be structure and rules or else you have choas. Is it a big deal that someone used a disc that was going to be approved in a couple of weeks anyway? Not really, but it still violates the rules, and could be construed as cheating. Would I stroke the dude if he was in my group? Probably not, but I would ask that he not use the disc for the rest of the tournament. If the rest of the group wanted to stroke him, then thats the way it has to be. Someone playing in an A tier event at the Advanced level should know better anyway.
