Janek Lehr › Flex Start at Roy G February 7, 2024 at 1:26am
What’s the policy on mixing pools in a card? Since it’s a flex start, and if the numbers are low, it could be hard to find a full card in our pool.
In my experience you just show up and play. Pool is not important. First come first serve.
The new PDGA rules indicate that divisions should not be mixed for events, but it is my interpretation that this rule is applied to shotgun starts where TD's could randomly assign players to groups. We're going to do our best to ensure that cards are playing the same layout. We'll play it by ear, but if there are people waiting for extended amounts of time we will mix the cards.
So if I am planning on playing with all MA1 players and I normally play MA3 I need to play MA1 to play with them?
No, we’d try to get you on a card with players not playing the long tees. You’d just play the shorts while others play the longs. We did this last year and didn’t have many issues.
