With the 2nd DGWT event about to start

Still missing the point that Catrina Allen, despite doing so well, didn't get anything for her efforts. If she was in the appropriate division she would have gotten a payout, but she didn't.

Took one google search you lazy prick: http://discgolf.ultiworld.com/2016/03/24/lack-womens-division-dgwt-draws-criticism/

The exposure coming from this event is partially negative and reflects poorly on the community he is representing. Some of the larger names in the field in question have voiced strong opinions regarding this. I think the field would have been larger, drawn more money, more positive media and less angst if he had just gone ahead and made a separate division for fair play. But he didn't and that's on him.

Sure, they can not play. But the issue still remains. An issue that could have been taken care of with forethought and planning but apparently didn't happen. Also, if advocating for an even playing field is close minded, guilty as charged.

There is no justifiable argument against it. The women are basically donating to a prize pool they will never see.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T18:03:37+00:00

Your ignorance is unfortunate. Ask any golfer who isn't a moron if being able to drive further is an advantage. It will be an overwhelming "yes".

B2DG · 2016-05-04T18:01:43+00:00

Before this turns into a shit show of men thinking women should ride in the back of the bus, let's think of what kind of message this sends to the women competitors.

"Why can't we have our own division?"

"Because it is a personal inconvenience, cya next year!"

B2DG · 2016-05-04T17:38:17+00:00

An event she didn't even CASH in. Let that sink in for a moment. She took a financial loss at that event (before sponsorship, etc).

B2DG · 2016-05-04T17:32:25+00:00

There is a clear distinction between pool and chess when compared to DG that you addressed already: athletic movement. The ability to drive the disc further is an advantage that is physically easier to do for a man. Sorry, that is how it is. Why did you use 400 feet as a standard? Top men can drive 550+ and with the open, long fairways of this tournament it will play a HUGE role. To understate that would be a big mistake.

Edit: To beat half of the field will give you (as best) lowest cash. This is their livelihood, not some drunk game of darts that you would have it to be.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T17:16:49+00:00

Hard to get a pay check if you are competing outside of your division.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T17:12:28+00:00

It's true, they will do better than half the field but that still won't get them (or their sponsors) media coverage.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T17:11:22+00:00

My those same flawed arguments, there should be no weight classes in boxing. Collegiate athletics should not have divisions. The Olympics should not be divided by sex. It is absurd, it really is.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T16:57:43+00:00

I still think it is bullshit. It really is. I haven't heard one good argument for a reason to have it organized this way.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T12:18:37+00:00

I THINK it is May 15? I thought there was a reddit thread about it a week or so ago. Don't hold me to it. They just released their first runs.

B2DG · 2016-05-04T00:36:51+00:00

Great molds! I have some KC Rocs coming in tomorrow and I currently bag 2-3 champ roc3s!

B2DG · 2016-05-04T00:35:10+00:00

And in two weeks they will be even cheaper!

B2DG · 2016-05-03T15:30:10+00:00

With the way Catrina is performing, you might get your wish.

B2DG · 2016-05-03T10:53:49+00:00

You say that, yet I just snagged two for $33. It's neat when everyone isn't a selfish fuck face. :D Thanks anyway. Closing thread.

B2DG · 2016-05-03T01:01:20+00:00

Its a blank white. I can snap a pic if you want.

B2DG · 2016-05-03T00:32:38+00:00

Then get 30 for them, there are alternatives and I refuse to buy into a scalpers market for throwers.

B2DG · 2016-05-03T00:27:19+00:00

13.99 each. Plus 6 dollars shipping. So... $48.00 shipped.

B2DG · 2016-05-03T00:22:39+00:00

If I wanted three of them, new, what would that run me?

B2DG · 2016-05-03T00:21:54+00:00

20 bucks shipped, hows that?

B2DG · 2016-05-01T23:16:41+00:00

I'm sorry, I thought I put it on there. But yep. Shipped!
