Help WFDF Gain Recognition by the IOC

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is currently pursuing an application for official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and needs the ultimate community's help!  See Rob's post below:


WFDF continues to pursue our application for official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The application we submitted last year is in the process of being updated as we need to respond to a set of entirely new questions that were introduced into the process effective as of January 1, 2013. Our application will be submitted in early March and hopefully will be considered at the May 2013 Executive Board meeting.

One of the new questions relates to social media, and asks for the number of followers on Facebook and Twitter. WFDF had only introduced its Facebook page last July during the WUGC and as of last weekend only had around 1,400 "likes" on Facebook and 700 followers on Twitter. We think it would be helpful to show a significantly higher amount of interest when we submit these figures to the IOC. Accordingly, we would appreciate it if you would publicize immediately WFDF's Facebook and Twitter accounts and ask your members and social media followers and their friends to also follow WFDF's pages. For reference, these are:

Thank you. We really appreciate your support. Wish us success.

WFDF President
