Not quite true... Disc shortages did effect gameplay that year. We ran out in a few matches, partially because partners were missing. Of course, this was only very rarely a problem, and we never had to tell partners not to load discs to allow us to score them.

I totally agree that what made 2013 so awesome was in part that everyone was incentivized to score, even if they couldn't do it very well.
