Hey fam! Managed to misplace a disc golf kid buzzz (hole 2), a yellow double stamped Athena (hole 12), and a 6 claw Athena (hole 13) in todays practice round.
Any finds, please turn into tournament central. Thanks! ????????

I have your yellow double stamp Athena! I'll have it at tournament central tomorrow.

Henry Hegler    June 2, 2023 at 1:38pm

Is there a way to sign up since spots are open

Adam Luthman   June 2, 2023 at 2:57pm

We already expanded the field to accommodate players off the waitlist and I've posted tee times, so the tournament is officially closed for registration. Sorry!

Kenny Lukasewicz    May 30, 2023 at 3:17am

What layout(s) are we playing? MA60, in particular. Thanks!

Matthew Halton Smith   May 30, 2023 at 2:21pm

All divisions play same layout playing long tees, except hole 15, which is the only short tee pad used for the event, same layout both days.

Adam Luthman    May 30, 2023 at 2:25am

MA60 8:00
MA50 8:20
MA40 8:50
MA3 9:20
FA2 10:20
FA1 10:30
MA2 10:50

Refund sent. Sorry you’ll miss it!

Beth Tanner    May 29, 2023 at 3:41am

I want to be in FA1. Thanks!

Beth Tanner    May 27, 2023 at 12:03am

Can I switch to FA1 from FA 50+?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   May 27, 2023 at 2:32am

We aren't going to include an FA50 division because we want all divisions to have at least 3 competitors. Would you prefer to play in FA1 or FA2?

Montgomery M Chitkhin    May 23, 2023 at 11:13pm

When will tee times be posted?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   May 24, 2023 at 9:36am

I will post general division tee times later this week. Specific individual tee times will be sent via email with players meeting info on Thursday before the tournament, as we have to wait for the field to finalize before setting tee times.

Jacob Stoner    May 1, 2023 at 2:02am

Is there a way I can be switched from MPO to MA1 without being put on waitlist or losing my spot playing?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   May 1, 2023 at 12:28pm

Change made. Since we use a single waitlist for the entire tournament, it doesn't affect anyone else for me to switch your division.

Dave Tackett    April 28, 2023 at 12:16pm

Is there someplace there to warm up that won't interfere with those already playing?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   April 28, 2023 at 3:46pm

We will have practice baskets set up for putting near the parking lot. For throwing warm ups, we recommend using other nearby courses such as Leigh Farm or Dogwood Southern Village

Dave Tackett   May 2, 2023 at 12:24pm

Great. Leigh Farm is on the way. Thanks

Sam Piner    April 20, 2023 at 11:12pm

What layout will MA3 play?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   April 24, 2023 at 3:04pm

Everyone will play the same layout, 18 holes, par 56 (probably). Long tee pads on holes 3 and 18, short pad on 15. every other hole only has 1 tee pad.

Matthew Halton Smith   May 31, 2023 at 2:19pm

Also long tee on 18

Todd WIZARD Brookhart    April 20, 2023 at 11:39am

I played this course when it first opened back in 97-98 when I was doing clinicals there , my question is,is this a public course or do you still have to be a student in order to play, practice these days , I would like to get a practice round in before June , thanks

It's public, just park in the softball parking lot off of Raleigh Road, not in the upper parking lot near the outdoor education center. The latter is a student permit-only lot.

Matthew Halton Smith   April 20, 2023 at 1:56pm

Open to public dawn to dusk, park at 910 Raleigh Rd, Chapel Hill, NC, behind the old UNC General Administration bldg, or use navigation to Anderson Softball Stadium (but don't drive all the way to the back)

Todd WIZARD Brookhart   April 21, 2023 at 12:54am

Thanks

Daniel Stinehelfer    April 15, 2023 at 8:34am

Any idea roughly what time MA40 would be teeing off? I'm interested in registering but depending on the time frame I may have a conflict Saturday afternoon. Thanks!

Permalink
Adam Luthman   April 17, 2023 at 3:39pm

Based on last year, MA40 would tee off roughly between 8 and 9 am. This is an estimate based on the order of divisions we have planned, but it may be a bit after 9 depending on how many people we have in each division. I can confirm that we plan to have MA40 be one of the first divisions to play each morning.

Jacob Stoner    April 13, 2023 at 12:58pm

Can you open more Ma1 / Ma2 spots?

Permalink
Nathan McKinnis   April 13, 2023 at 1:14pm

"Please note that I have instituted caps to all divisions to retain spots for female and junior players. If these divisions do not fill, we will reallocate the additional spots to other divisions to bring people in off the waitlist. If any division has fewer than 3 players registered, we will talk to those players to potentially merge them with another division."

Adam Luthman   April 13, 2023 at 4:42pm

Thanks Nathan! He's right, caps will stay in place for a few more weeks. At that point, I'll let people in off the waitlist to fill the spots.

Sherry Herzog    April 4, 2023 at 5:15pm

what tier will this event be?

Permalink
Morie Newman   April 5, 2023 at 2:08am

It’s historically been a B tier, I’d imagine it’ll continue to be.

Adam Luthman   April 10, 2023 at 4:06pm

Confirmed that it is still a B tier

Wayne Dockery    April 2, 2023 at 7:57pm

Thank you.

What are the sponsorship options and where could I sponsor a hole or something to help out

Permalink
Adam Luthman   March 31, 2023 at 7:15pm

Our individual hole sponsors are $100. The money gets put into the added cash for the Pro divisions. Sponsorship gets you priority registration and advertising privileges on several holes during the tournament. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions!

Joseph Hickman   April 2, 2023 at 12:41pm

I sent you a dm on here just check you inbox

Adam Luthman   April 3, 2023 at 4:32pm

Sent a dm back. Feel free to email me at [email redacted] for more info!

Timothy LeMaster    March 16, 2023 at 2:22am

Can you provide more details about this event?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   March 17, 2023 at 4:43pm

We're still working on specifics, but it will be two rounds of tee times at UNC. Are there certain details you're curious about?

Spence Hutcheson   March 26, 2023 at 4:42pm

Am payout?

Adam Luthman   April 19, 2023 at 3:40pm

Am divisions will be trophy only. We prefer to give awesome player's packs and have plenty of CTP/hot round prizes as opposed to payout.

Wayne Dockery    March 12, 2023 at 8:18pm

Any chance of a Mixed Am 60+ division?

Permalink
Adam Luthman   March 31, 2023 at 7:17pm

We are expanding the divisions to include MA60 and several others. Please note that we won't run a division with less than 3 players, so if this is the case we will have to merge you with another division (such as MA50).
