Re: Could human players score points with the fresbie?

While i don't think that the human player's scoring will account for a large part of points this year, it still may have a slight effect, and could even be a small selling point as teams pick their partners for the tournament matches. One of our seniors has found that after about 15 minutes of practice (he was already a fairly good frisbee thrower) he was able to get the discs within two or three feet of the chosen target every time, even when throwing over a simulated 8 foot wall (a sophomore on a chair holding his arms up). He is planning on doing this for at least a little bit every day, and we expect to see some pretty good results by the time competition rolls around.
