Below is the approved Policy by the USDDN Steering Committee and adopted by ACDA.

The SC set forth Size/Weight class distinctions in discs. Players can use any of the approved discs, HOWEVER, players may NOT mix disc sizes and weights in a single round. For example, competitors cannot compete with a EuroBlend & standard Fastback in the same Round; competitors cannot you use standard Fastbacks and Jawz in the same round; and, competitors cannot combine Pup size discs with any larger discs.

Consequently, ACDA requires in Toss & Fetch, Bonus Chase, Freestyle and all Games Formats, the use of only the discs specified below. A competitor may not mix discs within any one (1) round of competition - all discs must be the same size and weight class. If a competitor is found to have mixed the sizes or weight class of discs in a single round, a five (5) point penalty will be applied in Freestyle before the multiplier and in Toss & Fetch formats there will be a one (1) point penalty applied per throw made. However, the application of this rule cannot result in a score lower than zero. Important note: A penalty assessed for mixing discs is separate from any Canine Endangerment penalties.

If your dog measures 15.01 Inches (375mm) or Taller at the Shoulder (measured at the withers), you must use one of the discs identified below:

Discs by Size/Weight Class:

"Standard Large Discs": Between 9 - 9.5 Inches in Diameter & Less Than 115 grams

"Standard Medium Discs": Between 8.5 to 8.75 Inches in Diameter & Less Than 115 grams

"Heavy Large Discs": Between 9 - 9.5 Inches in Diameter & between 130 grams and 145 grams

"Heavy Medium Discs": Between 8.5 to 8.75 Inches in Diameter & between 130 grams and 145 grams

If your dog measures 15.00 inches (375mm) or less at the shoulder (measured at the withers), you may choose to compete with any of the discs defined above or those specified below. The same rules and penalties for mixing disc size/weights defined above apply.

"Small Dog Discs": Between 6.25 and 7 Inches in Diameter and between 40 grams and 90 grams
