I was villified by my old uni a while back for being too competitive in frisbee, and the reputation's followed me a little.
If you're going to play a shit sport, you may as well be good at it, imo.

Or you could just play an ACTUAL sport and be good at it.

( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:10, archived)

I could, but I chose not to.

( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:13, archived)

That's a good opinion to have.

What really annoys me is that there are some teams out there that enter tournaments (whether regional, national or recreational)
and don't care how they do, as long as they 'have fun'.
Unfortunately, their definition of 'having fun' and 'dicking around' appear to be the same thing, which has infuriated me somewhat.

dicking around is INCREDIBLE fun.

( sleepybinky, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:25, archived)

Especially if it annoys people who are taking it all far too seriously.

Neh, time and place I reckon.
After paying fees and spending hours travelling across the country to attend the events, it's not fun putting up with people who treat it as a lolacious jolly, esp when everyone else is at least putting the effort in and having fun at the same time.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:40, archived)

why would you spend money on a cross-country jolly if you won't accept that it's a jolly?

( sleepybinky, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:43, archived)

Because I believe you can still play hard and enjoy yourself at these jollies
I'd rather play hard, enjoy the game and still lose rather than play half-arsed and lose badly, especially when there's no reason not to.
I don't really see the fun in not playing as hard as you can.
This may mean that I stop going to these jollies and just focus on the more serious events.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:49, archived)

Haha, what? You get angry at the events specifically intended to be pissed around at because people piss around?

It could be seen that way, I accept that
I just fail to see why people would prefer to dick around at the cost of losing so badly to other teams.
Way I see it: if you're good enough, you can all play hard together and dick around at the party afterwards but in the games themselves: I'd rather play and enjoy playing rather than not be able to play, simply because other people don't want to play.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:59, archived)

Dick around is certainly the most apt choice of words here,
seeing as the party afterwards takes place naked in a bath with 16 other blokes.

I think I'll either stop going to loltournaments
Or go to loltournaments with better teams.

Guys guys guys
Can you please all stop having fun, this is meant to be a sombre event.

Now toss me the brightly coloured plastic disc
( Theoban What of it, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 15:06, archived)

Ssshhas to be official size and weight discraft disc

Balls does it
A dozen pushpins and a paper plate. That'll do ya.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 15:14, archived)

No, really
But it does lead to organisers putting their logos on Discrafttm discs and selling them off at these events.
It's either teams with a bit of a budget or tournaments themselves who order in bulk of 50 or 100 discs, and then sell them onwards.

It's a neat way of showing people what events you attended, who you played against etc.

Is this like how the dullest of first year students keeps a row of different alcoholic beverage containers to be all 'look at how much I drank man, I'm so wacky!'?

The point is lost on you, but I'm glad you kept up with me thus far

you'd aggressively snatch the upturned frisbee from the table and guzzle down all the jizz before the last ropes had landed?
