I was really impressed with the jerseys for this years Mega Bowl, and wondered if there were any available for purchase after the event?

Lost a green vortex on whole coming down the hill toward the thick part of the bushes before rive. Name and number on inside rim if found. Darn cut roll on that downward slope! BOO, should have played practices rounds.
Josh Moen April 26 at 1:33pm
I will not be playing this weekend..

Just looking for tournament validation… we can get casual relief from ‘fire ant’ mounds ?

803.02.A (Relief from Obstacles)
A player may obtain relief from the following obstacles: harmful insects or animals, or any item as designated by the Director. To obtain relief, the player may mark a new lie that is on the line of play, farther from the target, at the nearest point that provides relief (unless greater relief is announced by the Director).

So if you plan on having a caddy were you suppose to register them or do they just tag along?

Caddy's just tag along - this is actually Brooks's father, Chris, and I caddy for him most tournaments. I don't have to "notify" anyone or anything

It sounds like you are looking for a place for your dog while you are playing, so not directed at you. But just a reminder to all, that pets are not permitted for players (and caddies) while playing their round. Only licensed medical service animals. https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual/301

Are we allowed to have another player grab our player pack on thursday downtown? Josh Hudson will be in the area and it would save me a trip. If not, no big deal. Thanks!

Thanks for the question Jon. We really need everyone to make an effort to pick up their own player packs if possible. There are 4 days worth of opportunities and for two of the days there is a 10 hour (8am-6pm) window for pick-up. Thanks to everyone for understanding.

I’m signed up for the MA70+ and seems I’m the only participant in this group, I’d like to change to MA4 which seems to be more in line with my rating numbers!
Thanks,

This will be my first time playing the courses in Birmingham, how cart friendly are the courses? I'm playing Humble, Civ, and Magnolia. I've watched previews and it seems the main one that'll give me problems is Humble and possibly Civ on certain holes. I have the Rovic three wheel cart for reference.

Humble Tree and Magnolia are definitely cart friendly. There are a couple of tough spots for carts at Civitan but if you can deal with those, 90% of the course is great for carts.
James Buxton April 20 at 4:48am
Just uploaded a Humble Tree DGC walkthrough if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/bAPbEXCkaFY?si=DimEYXpYWqIE9z7Z

This is my first A tier event. With that, I have seen that A tier and Pro level events there is a dress code for shirts, i.e. dry-fit, collared. Is this tourney going to enforce this?
Jonathan lowery April 3 at 9:54pm
Where will we pick up are players pack

TBD right now. That information will be provided in plenty of time to get them though.

04/02/24 - Layout Updates added to Documents section of the About page
Inverness - due to recent construction, for hole 12, all players will play pin B instead of A. Par adjusted accordingly.
Civitan - Updated pars added for C Pool layout.
No other changes right now but there should be an expectation that Magnolia Links will have a least a few before the month is out.

1s basket will get moved this week. 18 is in the correct position, udisc megabowl layout is getting updated now. it had to go through approval with 11s new teepad
Brooks Fielding
April 22 at 1:20pm
So, just to be clear - this weekend, everyone will play to the reds on each hole, right?
Benjamin Anderson March 9 at 1:18am
Is there a cutoff date for player packs like last year? I remember if you signed up closer toward tournament time you got store credit instead of a player pack. Curious as to if that's still the case and if so how much store credit would it be?
Ben Swam
March 9 at 1:41am
We will not offer that option this year. Once we get to our internal deadline, we will shrink or increase the field based on how many are registered. Once we run out of player packs, we will not allow more players.
Ben Swam March 4 at 1:31pm
**Attention MA2**
Just an update about an error that I made when I posted the layout assignments for MCMB last week.
MA2 will be playing the GREEN layout at Inverness both days, not the Blue layout which was incorrectly indicated on the first layouts I posted.
I apologize for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Ben Swam February 27, 2024 at 10:27pm
Layouts have been added to the About section under Documents (directly above the flyer). Expect changes to Magnolia as several holes are "under construction" and may or may not be complete in time for MCMB.
Ben Swam
February 28, 2024 at 10:36pm
Yes, everyone will play the same layout at Civitan, just as they always have.
Ben Swam
February 29, 2024 at 2:58pm
@Hunter - Maybe the first time you have played it but definitely not the first time that MA4 has played the same layout as MPO at Civitan in the Magic City Mega Bowl.
Evan Garner February 20, 2024 at 2:58am
How do the Flex Starts work? Are they included in the registration fee or are those separately paid for? And are there any set courses that will be used for those?
Ben Swam
February 20, 2024 at 3:12am
Separate events that will have their own registration pages closer to the time of the tournament. Courses are TBD.
Ben Swam January 30, 2024 at 10:02pm
1-30-2024 - I am very sorry to have to make this type of change after registration has opened.
Unfortunately, due to conflicting events at the Trussville Sports Complex, I cannot, in good conscience, attempt to use the Greg Carter Memorial Disc Golf course for the weekend of the Mega Bowl.
Parking and the number of playable holes would be severely impacted in a negative way.
Because of this, I have reduced the number of pools from 4 to 3 and the course rotation has changed for Pools B a ...

@Brooks - Pinson will be used for a Flex start event that weekend but will not be included in the A-tier rounds.

@Kevin - Lol, nope, not this time. Soccer and Baseball. Two large tournaments the same weekend.
Rooster Cooper January 21, 2024 at 8:16pm
Which tees (red or blue) is the B Pool playing from at Inverness?
Ben Swam
January 22, 2024 at 1:10am
Female divisions will play red tees. Mixed divisions will play green tees which is a combination of some red and some blue tees. Layouts will be finalized and posted in late February.
Derek Lampe January 20, 2024 at 1:10am
I’m so excited for this. I miss out last year but I’m glad I registered for it this year as my first A-Tier.
Is there any hotel suggestions?
Thanks Brandon! We are still sorting through everything but if there are extras available, we will definitely be offering them up for sale. Keep an eye out on the MCMB Facebook page for details about purchasing them.
