A likely controversial and polarizing rule for this year's Ice Bowl event will be that some sort of ribbon or some other form for easily identifying a buried disc will be mandatory.  With an average of 2 feet of snow covering the entire surface of the course it will be simply too time consuming to search for every disc after every throw.  During a few practice rounds over the last couple weeks even unmarked putters were getting lost on missed 30 foot attempts as they would bury in and slide below the surface.

With those experiments in mind EDGA has decided that ribbons will be mandatory.  For those concerned about the change in disc characteristics you need not worry as many players have experienced just a slight decrease in range as a result of the drag caused by the ribbon but nothing that can't be adjusted after a few initial throws.

Through the process of trial and error the best method for attaching a ribbon to a disc is by centering the ribbon on the underside of the disc and securing with a light weight but waterproof adhesive tape.  Tuck Tape is a strong choice as it's extremely sticky, waterproof and does not leave any sort of residue when pealing the tape off later.  Discs secured in this manner (see picture) have held up to 25+ throws and have not shown any signs of weakness.
