About this tournament

Hi everybody. I wanna thank everyone for coming out for a pretty crazy weekend of competition. Congrats to the winners, and thank you to the team of individuals who helped put this circus on.
I am currently in the process of finalizing payouts and scrip. Unfortunately, I caught a brutal cold immediately following the event; so I am a little behind, but just bare with me. Hopefully I will get this all out to everyone by next week.
Thank you again. And hopefully see many of you next year!

2 discs about 20’ high in the first big tree on the right of 12 , my ANAX and someone else’s green. . We tried to acquire just too high.

There were AT LEAST 3 discs in that damn palm tree at the bottom of the hill at Hellyer. Lots of luck climbing THAT thing.

I have a service to go to tomorrow at 11:30, but I can help out all day Sunday
Evan Johnson September 29, 2023 at 7:49pm
Have there been any email communications sent out? I haven't received any but wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. Otherwise I'll just show up when/where I'm supposed to go tomorrow.

Regarding the raffle livestream, I don’t have a Facebook account but I’ve heard that it’s possible to stream a public live video if you provide a link. Will this be an option? Thanks!

Not 100% knowledgable on the logistics of the live stream. However you dont need to be on the stream to win prizes. Winners will have prizes ready for pick up at the check in table at the course they are scheduled to play on Sunday.

After managing to avoid having a Facebook account for 20 years, not wanting to miss this raffle finally got me to sign up.

Admiral Ackbar has something he'd like to say to you.

Heya Nick / team - what's the best way to get info about volunteering? Thursday at taplands? Or look out for an email?
Also, looks like I'm at the top of my division's wait-list - if I'm still on WL on Saturday morning, is there a chance of grabbing a slot from a no-show?
Nick Pantages
September 26, 2023 at 3:12am
Im gonna do my best to get an email out to volunteers, but if anything if you are going to taplands come see me. Regarding waitlist I would definitely still come Saturday morning to see if someone drops. If anything since your group would be at KP, I would just assign you to volunteer at KP and if you happen to get into the event then you are good to go.
David J Branson September 20, 2023 at 7:00pm
What time is the event at Taplands? What’s the earliest I can pick up players pack, latest?
James Riley September 19, 2023 at 3:55pm
I James Riley was on the waiting list but then was taken off after there was a spot available and I paid in full but now I need to withdraw from the tournament but it's saying that I can only get $10 back not the full amount that I have paid so can you please change this so that I can request to get the full $100 back when I withdraw from the tournament. Thank you in advance
Stephen Connell September 17, 2023 at 5:17pm
Will the Hellyer layout be the same for both groups?
J Michael Neal September 12, 2023 at 4:56pm
I need to withdraw due to travel conflict but its only allowing a max refund of $10 since I was initially on the waitlist, even though I paid the full registration price once added to the registered players list.
Nick Pantages
September 12, 2023 at 5:14pm
Try withdrawing anyway. Once I get the prompt I should be able to give you the full refund.
Pedro Sanchez Molina September 1, 2023 at 10:38pm
Will KP be changed to the tournament layout soon?
Richard flores August 18, 2023 at 4:37pm
when will waitlisted know they have been accepted? day before? week before?
Nick Pantages
August 18, 2023 at 7:21pm
Players added from the waitlist receive a confirmation email immediately with a link to update their information and complete payment.

If the tournament is about a week away and I'm 5th on the wait-list when can I expect to hear if I'll be accepted or not? Would love to plan my weekend but would love to play this tournament

Final adjustments to the field will happen about a week before the event. Though people may drop up to the Thursday before, but that is unpredictable.

Will the MP50 division be playing at the same course at the same time as the MPO division? I would be carpooling with an MPO player. Thank you.
Nick Pantages
August 15, 2023 at 4:15pm
MP50 and MPO will be playing Kelley Park on the same day. A&B Pool technically play different courses on Saturday, but both courses are very close together. I suggest looking at the course maps posted in the info column. It is recommended that those who carpool drop off one player off at the cou ... more
Robert R. Bainbridge August 10, 2023 at 2:28pm
Hello. I have not played any of these courses. If I had a chance to come down between now and the tournament, does anyone have a suggestion for spending more day wisely? Are the courses very different in tournament setup compared to day to day setups? Any insight would be appreciated.

I believe Raza is already setup in the tournament layout, at least the green baskets. We have our Annual TriFecta league going on right now with its finall stop at Hellyer for the next three weeks. The final week of the trifecta the baskets will be placed in their SVDGC Classic positions. KP will pr ... more

August 10, 2023 at 4:01pm
If you are coming in from out of town and wanna log some throws on the courses, I would probably recommend either Kelley or La Raza. KP has 21 holes, and has more variety. But I cannot guarantee that the tournament positions will be in before the end of Sept. There are multiple baskets on most holes ... more
Nick Arredondo July 28, 2023 at 11:40pm
I want to register as a hole sponsor under my Company STN. More information about the sign up process would be greatly appreciated.
Nick Pantages
July 28, 2023 at 11:58pm
Hi Nick. Thank you for the support! If you are playing, you can sign up starting tomorrow with sponsorship. Select hole sponsor at registration, and leave a note that you would like STN to be your sponsor. We will follow up in the weeks leading up to the event with all sponsors to collect any logos or text preferences before we print signage.

To answer the question about tent camping, to anyone interested:
My personal suggestion would be Sanborn County Park located just up hwy 9 in Saratoga. a link for reservations can be found here - https://gooutsideandplay.org/reservation/camping/index.asp
The camping sites are hike in, but the area is beautiful. Im partial to the park as it is the site of my wedding a little over a year ago :)
Note about this location in relation to the courses in play, they are roughly a 40 min drive from ...

Is there an area for tent camping within an hour from the course? Thanks!
Nick Pantages
July 26, 2023 at 4:42pm
Great question Jeff. I dont have an answer but Im hoping someone else with better knowledge can chime in.

Check out Enchanted Forest through HipCamp. It's about 45 away from Kelley Park. I'm staying there Sat and Sunday night.
Jon Dominguez July 18, 2023 at 4:21am
Great answer Nick Garcia. You don’t have to worry I won’t be playing. I can go to Southern California where they have 60s 70s and sometimes even 75-year-old divisions just like the PDGA world masters disc golf championship in Flagstaff Arizona. I just played in.!!!
Nick Garcia
September 18, 2023 at 7:54pm
@Jon Dominguez I was not worried and only commented about your inconsiderate post. I do see that the TD stated there is a 60s division. It is awesome you found a tournament that is not just "plain dumb". Wish you the best.
Kristine King July 18, 2023 at 1:24am
Can we maybe hold some spot for women. Sometimes it takes us time to get our **** together. You can always give to waitlisted guys after a certain date. Thank you!
Nick Pantages
July 18, 2023 at 2:05am
Thats already how the sign ups are set up. There are plenty of spots reserved for women by default. Additionally there are no caps for ladies during the ladies early reg. If 50 ladies sign up, 50 ladies get in!
Nick Garcia July 17, 2023 at 9:35pm
I would like to thank Nick P and the other TDs for running this tournament. It's hard work and even harder to please everyone. @Jon Dominguez how about you help run the tournament and then you can complain about what is missing. Until then, be thankful we have great people like Nick P to run our tournaments so we can play and have fun.
Dani Christensen
Thank you, Nick, JC, and the rest of the crew, and thanks for working with me and squeezing me in. We actually had a great time on my 6-man card! Grateful for the experience!
Great Job to everyone at SVDGC! I appreciate all of the volunteers both before and during the event!
