Show up & GLOW up!
Immediately following Monday’s mandatory player meeting we will be offering Glow Golf! Brought to you by Disc in the Dark, we will have a modified exhibition layout of the Little America Crew Course beginning at hole 1 available to open play at night fall.
Come say hi to our friend Niel from Disc in the Dark who’s made the long trip out from Alabama to be with us! Niel has best in class Glow Disc Golf accessories. Keep an eye out for illuminated baskets throughout the week, and check out Disc in the Dark at the Fly Mart!

How can player number go from 500 to 501 if registration has closed??
Andrew Sweeton

It went from 500 to 501 because we had a player added because they reached out with a registration error problem prior to registration closing (for an available spot) but we were all working on the recovery of Amateur/Jr and didn't get back to them until well after registration was already closed, so it was not their fault. We took the payment manually and added them earlier today.

I hope TD's and spotters are all being made aware of symptoms and corrective measures for altitude sickness. In my younger days of Ski patrol work in CO we would routinely see a buss load of skiers come in from Kansas City (900 feet about sea level) and every time 5 or 6 out of 50 would be incapacitated with extreme headaches and fatigue. Couple that with some recent poor air quality reports and there could be some issues for players and volunteers. If your traveling in from lower elevations try to arrive a couple of days early to make a more gradual transition.

What is the official last day to drop to get refund?
Matt Bailey
July 5, 2023 at 11:56pm
No worries. I should’ve signed up on time in the first place. Thanks for all the work
Matthew Harding July 4, 2023 at 10:31pm
When will day one tee times be posted? I am traveling with my family and planning the first day will be difficult without knowing tee times.
Rodney Travis
July 5, 2023 at 12:57am
They posted somewhere below that tee times will be set AFTER player check-in. So I'm assuming it won't be until Monday at the earliest.
Don Krueger July 4, 2023 at 8:31pm
don't wait to withdrawal. time is running out:
By July 6 - All official withdrawals from the registered list prior to July 7 will receive a full refund ONLY if their spot is
back-filled from the waitlist at the time of withdrawal. If not backfilled from the waitlist, they will receive a 0% refund.
After July 6 - Withdrawals after July 6 will not receive a refund of any kind. Thank you for your support of Masters
Worlds.
I may be posting this only for selfish reasons (#1 on the MA65 waitlist) but it still may be helpful for someone.

Since the cap change to 500, I’ll assume refund would change in the dates posted?
Eric Graff July 4, 2023 at 8:13am
Will there be any warm up area's (MP and NAU) prior to t times.
Patrick Graziani
July 4, 2023 at 4:19pm
Yes there are warm up areas. Be on the look out for a pre-event player email with this information included.
Todd Lion July 4, 2023 at 1:45am
Following the close of registration, we have made the final minor adjustments to field sizes as of July 3. No further division cap changes will be made. All movement from this point forward will only come from existing waitlists.
Andrew Sweeton

See the Worlds registration schedules here: https://www.pdga.com/2023worlds/2023-worlds-registration-schedules, once the waitlists are refunded the event is closed, there are no further replacements of drops.
Bryan Gibbs July 4, 2023 at 12:47am
Will there be an app like there was at the Am and Jr Worlds that was in Peoria last week?
John Birkrem

all players should ensure the PDGA has their current mobile phone number with messaging options on so they can contact you if needed.

Good afternoon disc golfers. Please, if you are not going to be able to attend the event, please withdraw online ASAP. Us waitlisters would love to get in. I foolishly forgot to register on ny invite date and I am on the wait list and on my way to Flagstaff from Miami Florida. As much as I would like to explore Flagstaff, I want to play in the tournament. Help us waitlisters out and withdraw. Thanks

I have to agree. If you haven’t booked your plans etc drop out now so anyone who has at least has a better chance.
Billy Bauer July 3, 2023 at 9:24pm
Is it still possible to get in the field events?
Dale E Baynes July 3, 2023 at 8:47pm
All booked and flying out ma60 hoping to play . And not just spectate
Steve Ganz July 3, 2023 at 7:29pm
Identity verification is a requirement for participation in this event and will be performed during player check-in but you may optionally upload an image of an acceptable form of identification at any time at https://www.pdga.com/policy/identity-verification/upload
For more information on the PDGA Identity Verification program, please go to https://www.pdga.com/policy/identity-verification
Bethel Barrett

Identity identification seems to be an afterthought added requirement post registration . Although I do understand slightly what you are doing, I will not be giving you such information electronically to be stored on ‘who knows’ system with unknown security. You can view my information real time at checkin and check whatever box you need to consider me ‘verified’.

The PDGA Identity Verification Program was launched on March 6, 2023 in advance of this year's first PDGA Major Event in April. Online identity verification is entirely optional. All uploaded images are encrypted and stored securely and will only be used for identity verification. Once the member's identity has been verified, the image is deleted from our servers.
John Scheinpflug July 3, 2023 at 6:29pm
Since registration has closed, I see that MA 65 has added 4 spots from 32 players to 36 players. MA 60 only has 52 players with more on the waitlist than any other division. I hope you add more players to these two divisions since MA 40 has 172, MA 50 and 55 have 76.
Andrew Sweeton
July 4, 2023 at 1:25am
Sorry, but we have added what we could, anything else will be due to drops. The four spots we could open in the C pool went to MA65 since they started with 20 less spots than MA60 and a waitlist nearly as long.
Matthias Lambur July 3, 2023 at 2:34pm
Hello, is there a possibility (sports field or larger area) in Flagstaff to test discs? I come from Germany and have never played at an altitude of 2,200 meters.
Thank you very much.
Bill Block

There are sports field throughout Flagstaff and they're free to use provided they're not reserved for a another use. Foxglenn park, NAU south fields (near the course), Thorpe Park Multipurpose are some possible parks that have space to throw.
Clark Lipkin July 3, 2023 at 2:00pm
Can anyone tell me what will be in the player’s pack? I’m flying in and don’t want to bring an umbrella or anything else that I don’t have to.
Jacquelyn Rieser
July 4, 2023 at 2:42am
I read umbrella was in. Maybe that's ledgestone or USWDGC..ugh rain coat it is. I'm also flying.
Wesley Hunt
July 4, 2023 at 4:19am
It’s probably better for many. I know a lot of people in Peoria last year had to abandon their umbrella and didn’t feel great about getting items that wouldn’t fit in bags for flights.
Scott Hougland

It’s not gonna rain, I’ve been here for 2 weeks and it hasn’t rained once
Donald Harrison July 2, 2023 at 6:27pm
I know doubles are already full, but if anyone is in need of a partner for any reason I’d be interested in playing.
scott conner July 2, 2023 at 4:58pm
Where would one find the rules for the field events on Sunday? It would be nice to know how many putters, etc, are necessary.
Andrew Sweeton
July 4, 2023 at 1:53am
I've asked the team about posting this on the Worlds info page.
Don Krueger July 2, 2023 at 2:55pm
Can MP65 and MP70 be moved from pool C to Pool F to open up MA60 and MA65 spots?
Often the case is that people can withdraw, which reduces the number before someone is manually activated from the waitlist a little later.
