Looking forward to playing this year but just noticed we are only playing 2 of the 3 courses this year regardless of division or making the cut. Was just curious the reasoning as I was looking forward to playing all 3.

A format change that will be evolving as we continue to move forward so one course design can focus on a long, hard MPO layout and another that can focus on a technical, hard FPO layout.

Any chance there are estimated tee times for different divisions? I'm in MP40 attending with a friend in MA2 trying to figure out if it makes sense to grab a caddy pass, or if we won't be able to caddy for each other due to time conflicts. Thanks in advance!

You can find the tee order (no tee times yet) on the LVC Facebook page under the pinned posts. MA2 and MP40 are on different courses but could be fairly close together. We won't know how close until tee times are posted.

Scott Merritt   February 14, 2023 at 11:42pm

Also, you will not have to pay for a caddy pass to caddy for another player. Only non-players need to purchase a caddy pass.

I’ve got an Airbnb about a 2 minute drive from the course. I’ve had two last minute cancellations and am hoping to fill those empty rooms. If your interested shoot me a message here or on Facebook. We have the room from Wednesday to Sunday.

We have our room covered but looking forward to seeing you at the event. When I'm not playing I'll be at the vendor tent. Drink Rinse Repeat, come by and say hi Ed.

Are the starting tee times for tournament play begin at 7am every day?

Jeff Jacquart   February 14, 2023 at 7:22pm

Yes.

Donald Raisanen Jr.   February 14, 2023 at 8:10pm

Thank you!

Michael Ortiz    February 14, 2023 at 4:09pm

Do we need to reserve a tee time for practice rounds?

Permalink
Jeff Jacquart   February 14, 2023 at 4:33pm

Not after Friday, 2/17.

Michael Ortiz   February 16, 2023 at 3:32pm

Thank you

Eric Graff    February 13, 2023 at 8:14pm

Decided to come in on Tuesday mid day.
Is it to late to get into the skins match?
If not do I just edit reg to add it then pay.
Would also like to get into ace pool and other pools if its not to late.....
Give me a heads up on yes or no and how to go about it.

Can't wait,,,,,,,

You can just edit your registration to add ace pool, long drive, etc. If you are a player you don't have to pay extra to watch the skins match.

Kassidy Dalton    February 13, 2023 at 6:07pm

Do tee times on Sunday start at 7:00am for the individuals who make the cut?

Permalink
Jeff Jacquart   February 13, 2023 at 6:27pm

Yes. We want the A-Tier divisions to get done as quickly so (1) course clean up can begin as soon as possible, and (2) A-Tier finalists are done in time to watch the MPO finals.

Kassidy Dalton   February 13, 2023 at 7:58pm

Awesome! Thank you so much for that!

Thomas Kocurek    February 9, 2023 at 10:48pm

With there being at the current moment 6 spots in pro left unfilled, will those 6 go to pros waiting, or order of wait-list including am? Assuming no additional registrations etc

sorry with you saying pro I thought you meant the other side.

Erich Partee   February 10, 2023 at 12:54am

with that I would have to say it depends on pool sizes and if that would make enought for cards in the curtain pool

Jeff Jacquart   February 10, 2023 at 1:24am

No, we can't "shift" unused spots around based on pool assignments between three courses. Sorry.

Kris Robertson    February 8, 2023 at 6:28pm

How would a player add the extra fee to become eligible for the Disc Golf Masters Tour?

got it. Thanks for all your hard work.

Robert Cummings III   February 9, 2023 at 11:28pm

I went to dgs registration and updated

Robert Cummings III   February 9, 2023 at 11:29pm

Then prompted me to pay the extra

Matt Davis    February 8, 2023 at 4:56pm

Do we have info on what time and which course the skins match will be held? Looking to get practice rounds in on Wednesday and want to plan accordingly.

Jeff Jacquart   February 8, 2023 at 6:12pm

Rough practice schedule posted here - https://www.lvcdg.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/23SchedulePracticeDays.jpg. Believe they are working on a 1:30 or 2 PM start.

Matt Davis   February 8, 2023 at 6:46pm

Thanks!

Jason Neidert    February 8, 2023 at 6:23am

If we are playing in the event do we need passes to spectate the skins match?

Permalink
Jeff Jacquart   February 8, 2023 at 4:37pm

No, but you must be badged.

Greg Profitt    February 8, 2023 at 2:49am

Question. I purchased Wednesday practice round passes, now those seem to be gone and replaced by skins and practice round package? Can you attend skins or must you purchase another practice round plus skins package
If you just have Wednesday practice round tickets?

Permalink
Jeff Jacquart   February 8, 2023 at 4:37pm

You and the six others who purchased tickets early are grandfathered in and don't have to pay anything additional to enjoy the skins match.

Hjalte Jensen    February 6, 2023 at 7:11pm

Hey all
Since my caddie has been prevented from travelling with me to this event, I am now looking for someone to stay with for the week.
Let me know if you have place for one more guy in you airbnb or such.
I can be contacted on Facebook or Instagram @hjalte.jensen.disc

Hello! I accidentally registered again I think. I wanted to sign up for the distance comp.

Jeff Jacquart   February 6, 2023 at 4:42pm

Refunded the $10 waitlist fee. When you are logged into DGS, select the LVC. Then select the registerd players tab. You will see your name with an "EDIT" or "WITHDRAW"

Jeff Jacquart   February 6, 2023 at 4:43pm

option. Select "EDIT" and you can pay for the distance comp. that way. Let us know if you have any problems.

Corwin Kozan    February 6, 2023 at 1:36am

If I don’t get off the waitlist in time to get in the tournament will I still be able to purchase a spectator pass? Planning on still coming out from Colorado even if I don’t get in!

Jessica Jacquart   February 6, 2023 at 2:11am

Yep!

Jeff Norvell    February 5, 2023 at 7:02pm

How many people usually drop out of ma2 I hope 9 so I can make plans

Jeff Jacquart   February 3, 2023 at 8:30pm

It varies from year to year and we don't like guessing if folks might get in. Sorry.

Jason ward   February 5, 2023 at 9:48pm

Can I pay extra to get in ma1?

Jeff Jacquart   February 6, 2023 at 4:40pm

That also has a waitlist.

Nate Johnson    February 2, 2023 at 11:26pm

I would like to withdraw from MA1.

Thanks

There will be room for everyone's cart except for Roberts! (He's too good and will only be allowed to play with a Super Roc and an old KC Pro Eagle.)

Robert R. Bainbridge   February 19, 2023 at 4:52pm

Scott, that would be TOUGH! My back might enjoy the light bag though.

Dirk Garner    February 2, 2023 at 7:18pm

Is anyone 'camping' in a camper van? If so, where are you staying? I cannot find a camp ground close that will accept a 20' camper van.

FYI, for anyone else looking: Desert Sands RV Park has some spots still available
