Ben Goodrow › Vibram Birdie Bash at Vicksburg Recreation Area February 18, 2016 at 9:47pm
Hello, This is not actually a PDGA sanctioned C-tier is it?
Yes it is. Vibram got PDGA sanctioning for all their birdie bashes this year.
Oh cool! So how will ratings work. Instead of just giving up after not getting a birdie, do you finish out the hole?
Don't ask lol. I have no idea. Last year's VBB CHampionship @ Coldbrook was X-tier I think. I got like 500 points for playing in that one. And I have no idea what round ratings would be. Steve Dodge may be able to chime in if he sees this thread.

Ok thats cool. Its really not a huge deal, it just surprised me so I was just curious :) Thanks!
You get points, but no rating, as it is not played in a normal format.
Awesome to know! Thank you
Hey ben, how are the hokes going to be set up for this? I assume holes 2,2 and 12 will be changed, but are all others staying the same?
Sorry I meant 1,2 and 12
many will be changed. 1 for sure, 2 for sure, 3 same, 4 same, 5 same, 6 will be shortened a tad, 7 same, 8 probably the same, 9 shortened, 10 may be teed up at the drop zone, 11 shortened, 12 shortened, 13 same, 14 short and not over water, 15 same, 16 shortened to try to take the water out of play, ... more

I'm in the process of maybe adding a few holes in between if I can get a few baskets. there will be a variety of left turning, right turning, wide open, etc. A few will be just a jump putt or short toss away. Some like 10 will be risk-reward. Should be a lot of fun but don't expect to play it like you normally do.
if i can get some baskets, I'll add two holes between 11's basket and 12's birdie bash tee, one from 1's long tee, 1 to a practice basket, maybe a couple in the 14-18 area since i'm shortening most of those.
Thanks for all the info
Ben, are you going to let players form their own groups, and stay with their group for both rounds?
You can pick your group for round 1. We'll be shuffled by score for round 2
Ben are you going to sign up? Deadline is tonight
actually tomorrow night
No I have decided not too. Thanks for answering all of my questions, but I don't really enjoy short holes for disc golf. I fully understand the purpose of this event and think it's really cool, just not something I am looking to do right now
Alright no biggie
