Disciplinary Actions

Looking at the updated page today, I wondered what exactly can a player do that is so egregious as to warrant a lifetime and 10 year suspension?

I don't know what the circumstances were for those people in particular. However, I know in the past that suspensions of a year or more were given out to people who cut down trees on a course without permission from the park owner. They did it because they kept hitting the trees on their drive. Also suspensions of around a year have been given out to people who wrote bad checks at tournaments and never made good on them--and I think it was multiple checks.

If you think about those incidents and then think what the PDGA would do if a person was a repeat offender to one of those, then you can probably figure out the kind of thing(s) someone might do to get that kind of punishment.

I hope Eddie gets a life time ban for using an ILLEGAL disk!

Both of those have been discussed on the PDGA.com discussion page.  I can't remember now.  It is out there.  Try searching their names on the Discussion Board using the Discussion Board search engine.

I did that and it only turned up references to the fact that they are on suspension.

If memory serves me, one of the harsher punishments related to contraband and border issues.  

Or as they say in the vernacular, "busted!"

I think the ten-year was the guy who played while suspended.
