I beg to differ. We couldn't pick pieces up from the floor in 2006 and did pretty well for ourselves.

I think everyone upset about this has every right to be.

I certainly understand why the decision was made--safety is incredibly important. As many others have pointed out, it's very surprising that the GDC did not anticipate this ahead of time. All they really had to do was look at something like 2009's endgame and recall the balls flying all over. Add in that frisbees can move in pretty strange ways and you've got the perfect recipe for, well, a blizzard.
