Again another victim of the magic disc fairy, my disc regularly
dissapeared from my bag over last weekend however it wasn't too hard to
find it, locate the game disc. Ahhh there it is. I don't find this much
of a problem as I expect it after four years of "where's my disc??", the
same is often true outdoors it is just a bit harder to find your disc
again. Saying all this I did have to nick the disc in the middle of the
3rd/4th to get my disc so I could go home.

I do support the idea of TD's supplying discs, it should eliminate the
games with bent discs and the time wasted finding a disc. During the few
tournaments I have organised, game discs have been supplied. They never
last long, even with GAME DISC splattered all over them. There seems to
be a necessity for teams to have the disc while they do their calls,
leave it on pitch!! Make captains responsible for the discs and passing
them on to the next team, all getting a bit anal I think.

Just live with it, things ain't going to change , it is one of a long
list of things at a tournament you can rely on;

somebody complaining about the seeding, the showers aren't good enough,
why is the bar not open(usually the MR MEN), what do you mean we can't
throw knives at each other in the corridor.

Well I have expelled my excess energy now for a day of geeky techy
rubbish.
