The Buzz on the Discraft Mini Buzzz

This announcement is a reminder to mini manufacturers and players that the PDGA does not test nor approve mini markers. As long as your mini meets the specifications for a mini disc in the PDGA Technical Standards, it can legally be used as a marker. Several thousand Discraft Mini Buzzz minis were incorrectly marked with "PDGA Approved" on them. This "PDGA Approved" mark will not be added in subsequent production runs.
 
While the Mini Buzzz is legal as a marker, it is not a legal disc to throw in PDGA-sanctioned competition. In addition, the large Mini Buzzz diameter at almost 15cm is too large for mini disc competition whether that be mini golf or setting WFDF mini records in field event competitions. To be used in mini competition, mini discs must be 4.5 inches (11.43 cm) or less in diameter. Mini disc golf uses the PDGA Rules of Disc Golf except for a few necessary variations in play and targets, which are listed on the Mini Disc Golf Federation (MDGF) website.
