75% refund is what is stated is that incorrect?

Todd Lion

75% until the 15th

Cheryl Zimmerman

Terry, there is not a waitlist for my division. Is it 25% or 75%?

Charles Blacknall II

Lol you're #22 on the wait list.

Scott Elam

Hope your flight, room, and car are refundable... 1 month and 22 spots is a 1 in 100 chance.

Katarina Cochran

Maybe you can still come...you can volunteer, or get yourself a spectator pass and make the best out of bad situation...

Caton Arnold

I was 39

Angie Taylor

I meant individual event times such as AM Long throw - 11:00 am - AM Putting 2:00 pm....etc.

John Birkrem

10am - 4pm all events set up at the same time, play at your ready between 10am and 4pm

Angie Taylor

Thank you. First time at Worlds. I didn't know the set up.

Eric Hanson

Thanks for asking, I was hoping to see a comment about this. So, just to clarify, John, if I'm signed up for the putting event I can show up at 2 or 3pm and still compete?

John Birkrem

unless they tell you otherwise between now and then that is what they are telling us.

Eric Hanson

ok, thanks for the speedy reply! I really appreciate it :-)

Matthias Lambur

perfect, thank you

Rick Brazil

Are the tee times for Am Doubles going to be posted?

Robert Leonard

Rick, the event will be a shotgun start. I will email updates next week.

Allen Risley

Thanks John!

Jacquelyn Rieser

Is this already included for players? So many new people like me have no idea what this is.

John Birkrem

registration closed last week. this banquet was not included, it was an added cost. The TD can explain more.

Patrick Graziani

Snowbowl will not be used for the event. The record snowfall this winter made it impossible for the course to be groomed into championship condition without sacrificing this time on the other courses.

Patrick Graziani

We do not plan to adjust any more division sizes at this time.

Patrick Graziani

We are not planning on making any further adjustments to division sizes at this time.

Jacquelyn Rieser

It's crazy. Pros should only play to 20.

Rooster Cooper

thought the same, Brian. I also believe if I remember correctly that it was top 40% last year for Ams, too. With so many players traveling and booking hotels in hopes of making the cut and playing that final round, it would be nice if more of us could be rewarded for the cost and effort.

Shawn Christophersen

Even Junior Worlds cut to 40% for the semifinals so why not the Masters?

Michael Lindsay

The reason I was given is that Am's are trophy only and someone outside the top 20% is unlikely to move up to top 3. The pro's are playing for cash so they have the top 40% fighting for their spots. I just played the Tim Selinske US Masters and that was top 40 % as well. It's a great ... more

The reason I was given is that Am's are trophy only and someone outside the top 20% is unlikely to move up to top 3. The pro's are playing for cash so they have the top 40% fighting for their spots. I just played the Tim Selinske US Masters and that was top 40 % as well. It's a great goal for many Am's to make the cut and it definitely makes it more fun if you qualify for the Semi-finals. Hopefully it gets changed!

Wesley Hunt

That doesn't sound right. There's still the Final9 after the semis. The only reason I can think of that they wouldn't let top 40% for AMs is maybe because the size of the field. The semis are a shotgun start so everyone can be done in time for the FInal9.

Wesley Hunt

That would be unfortunate though. Last year was top 40%, and looking at my division at least (MA40), we are the only ones playing TUT in the semis, so there will just be 30 people on that course... :-/

Brian Usher

It has been 40% for years. Semis provide two different battles - one for the final four and one for those around the 10th spot. Semis for everyone one else was like a celebration of friendships and another year of disc golf. Top 40% was no easy task for many and making that cut was a really good ... more

It has been 40% for years. Semis provide two different battles - one for the final four and one for those around the 10th spot. Semis for everyone one else was like a celebration of friendships and another year of disc golf. Top 40% was no easy task for many and making that cut was a really good feeling and one of the most enjoyable rounds I played all year. Reducing to 20%, in my opinion, takes most of that community spirit out of it and turns it into a real do or die competition. Now that becomes an interesting philosophical question about what AM Worlds is wanting to be as an event and while I can see both sides to that, I do not see it being pitched as that in other aspects.

Shawn Christophersen

Brian Usher I totally agree with what you are saying, plus we have made the commitment, effort, time and spent the money to get here so why not extend us the chance for the semifinal round? Even For MA40 the 20% cut is only 30 players! There is no reason it couldn't be 40% so that the cut off is 60 players. For most of us making the cut is the goal for the tournament.

Scott Taylor

Did this change after we were registered?

Brian Usher

I doubt it. I myself did not see it until a buddy pointed it out.

Charles Blacknall II

The weather can change unexpectedly.

Bill Block

Usually windy in the spring and less so during the summer.

Katarina Cochran

Thanks Bill, since we are flying, I am debating my disc selection, this helps...

Ron Tiley

A rain jacket would be advised. Flagstaff can get some rain showers in July.

Katarina Cochran

Thanks, Ron!

Daniel Crim

swirling...

Rob Martin

Good gawd dude. It's over 5 weeks away. You got a hot date to get to?

Ron(Bonehead) Jones

John, that was obviously meant for amateurs, not sandbaggers. You can just ignore it. ; )

John Kimball

Ron, the last time I shoveled sand into a bag, I missed 7 out of 10 times, from 2 feet. That would definitely make me an amateur. Haha!!

Ron(Bonehead) Jones

If you need some old flippy discs for that altitude, just let me know.

Harry Tucker

5 dollar option yes

Todd Lion

DGMT Series Points were a buy-in option for $5 during registration. I can confirm that you selected this during your registration.

Craig Clingan

I've heard of some people deconstructing their Zuca and putting it in a large suitcase, if that's a possibility for you.

Jon Cockes

The two courses I saw ( NAU & McPherson) are not cart friendly at all. If I get in, I’m not planning on bringing a cart this year.

Robert Leonard

We will be positing information soon! Thanks

Bill Block

Neither LA course is up at this point. Little America requested that we pull the Crew Course until we get closer to the tournament and we are waiting for delivery of turf so we can finish tee pad installation on LAL. LAL layout is currently on uDisc and LACC should be back up on uDisc this evening. Tuthill is currently in worlds layout.

ELIJAH SMITH

This is wonderful. Thank you for everything.

The link takes you to nowhere

Works for me. You may have to have an Airbnb account?
