World Flying Disc Federation 2021 Annual Census Overview of WFDF Census Data Report WFDF has done a formal annual survey of members since at least 2002. Over that period, there has been a compound average growth rate in players governed by WFDF’s Member Associations of 7.0%, down from the previous pace through 2020 of 9.7% because of the dampening effect on competition due to the pandemic.
