Re: Disc Carriers Part of Field?

No where does it specify who provides the equipment, just that these are the only items which may enter. It is an exclusive list, and disc carriers are not part of it. Previous years such as 2009 specified bins used to store the game pieces for the human players. I have no problem with special devices being used by the field staff to help count discs, but if they are being used by human players during a match, I think T22 prohibits that as it's currently written. I do think they're a good idea, I just think the rules should reflect that, and they should be standardized. FWIW, I've submitted a Q&A about this.

The carriers are intended to be used by the field reset crew, not the teams.
