Sweet! Dan gets a free player pack .

[mirth]

I'm in need of a few folks to submit designs for this year's stamp. The deadline for submissions is August 18th.

Designs can be emailed to: treasurer at discontinuum dot org any reviewable format is fine. The final design sent to Gateway will need to be a HQ vector-based file.
Design tip for those who have never done a hotstamp before - avoid large areas covered by a stamp.... The stamp may not adhere well to there & flake off.

What is Widdershins?

[mirth]

from Yahoo's online dictionary:

wid·der·shins    (widr-shinz)  or with·er·shins   (w-)  

ADVERB:

In a contrary or counterclockwise direction: "The coracle whirled round, clockwise, then widdershins" (Anthony Bailey).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETYMOLOGY:
Middle Low German weddersinnes, from Middle High German widersinnes : wider, back (from Old High German widar; see wi- in Indo-European roots) + sinnes, in the direction of (from sin, direction, from Old High German; see sent- in Indo-European roots)

[SERG]

How did this become the name of your tournament? Just curious.

[mirth]

Jim picked it, where he got it from I'm not 100% sure but it may be from his Wiccan roots.

The tournament used to be spring-ish, however we moved it last year to the last Saturday in October to coincide with the start of DST.... Widdershins, go backwards, counter clockwise, turn your clock back one hour.

[DougEDawg]

I thought it was Widdershins, because originally the tournament had everyone play the course backwards.

[Bruce Brakel]

I thought Jim picked it because when you throw lefty like Jim, the disc spins widdershins.  This was covered on another thread three years ago, I think.

bump. tomorrow will mark two weeks until the submission deadline for those interested in proposing a stamp for this year's event.

[SERG]

What is the maximum size of the stamp?

[mirth]

Umm... I think last year's stamp was 5-6" across. Gateway wants the final design to be a vector drawing so they can resize at will.
Start with 6" and know they may shrink it down a little if need be.

[SERG]

Here is a stamp design I created this morning:

[kyle]

Not bad, the basket is very similar to what I was wanting to do.

[mirth]

thats pretty sweet serg!

I'm extending the deadline until the end of the month, as I know Kyle and Kevin were thinking of submitting a design. If they pass your design will look awesome on a disc.

[kyle]

I have to pass, no time in the schedule right now.

[SERG]

If the deadline gets extended I can work a little more on mine. I think the skeleton can use some work. Maybe Kyle could spruce him up
