Disks landing after contact with the wall

I can tell what's going to make me shake my head the most this year is watching teams foolishly wrangle with a single disc for 30 seconds or more when it's propped against the wall. Remember efficiency is the key.

This. If it's upside down, and unless finding another right side up disc is going to take more time than picking up and handling the upside down frisbee, it's not worth it.

I did actually spend some time throwing a Frisbee at the wall. 11-0 it fell right side up, which was also the way I was throwing it. However, that was hand thrown, which means spinning. If you use some kind of ejector that does not impart spin, it will be more likely to fall the other way. But I would guess that between 75% and 90% of the loose Frisbees on the floor will be right side up, unless some team decided to shoot them up-side-down.

we ran a very simple test where we just threw the disks against a concrete wall. 90% of the disks landed right side up. The only ones that didn't land right side up were thrown at highly inclined angles that are unlikely to be done during the competition.

Over the past weekend, we estimated we shot the disks around 200 times. The only times that the discs landed upside down was after a crazy roll and hitting a wall. We had it happen maybe 5 times so I honestly think that it won't be an issue at all.
