Cale, you’ve been passive aggressive in both of your responses. The items mentioned should be very standard practice at PDGA events. These are not extreme requests. We do not need a full schedule 6 months in advance. Once registration begins filling out, there should at least be an understanding of which divisions will play which course & on what days. At least a baseline schedule should be available 3-4 months prior to the event with updates as details are finalized. Providing explanations on what additional details are in the works. Then once you get to the 1 month mark, you should absolutely have a full and complete schedule out. If there are a couple unknown details, these should be clearly communicated and explained (not just in the comments - but on the main “about” page). People are spending hundreds of dollars to play these events including travel, lodging, etc. It is unprofessional to not include more details, especially with only days until the event. It’s also inconsiderate of people’s time and money. Yes, I agree, you did underestimate. If you go on Disc Golf Scene and look at the information that is given for other PDGA Sanctioned Events, you will quickly see that there’s a huge discrepancy between information shown on this event and most other events. Examples at the bottom. It looks as though those planning this event didn’t want to be bothered to put an effort on the front end in order to provide basic and standard information, appropriate for an event of this size. I’m not trying to be rude (although I assume you will think so). I’m being direct, honest, and straightforward about what I’ve observed. If you aren’t willing to put more effort into events you are running, or just aren’t good at planning, scheduling, etc, then maybe it’s best to find people that are. Not everyone is cut out to run events, especially large ones. Some people’s minds just don’t work that way as well as others, and that’s totally okay. What’s not okay is making things unnecessarily difficult on hundreds of competitors because you’re unwilling to see where change is needed & then getting upset when that’s pointed out. I hope you choose to do better in the future or hand these things off to people that are willing to put in the effort that is required for an event of this size and caliber. I know an option is for me to “Just not play the event.” And that’s a viable option. But why not take pride in an event that has been known for many years? Rather than ride on previous successes, instead, strive to do better.
