Does anyone else have suggestions for "everybody wins" options? Maybe if we develop a good proposal, it could be adopted...

I like adding a few more disks at the beginning because it encourages teams to develop more creative autonomous routines. Adding them at the end undoes some of the inbalance that results from prohibiting thrown disks, but in a safe way.
