yet another update without official results.. awesome.. this will be the one and only tournament i attend hosted by you guys. here it is the END OF JUNE! over two months have passed. i guess a complaint of some sort needs to be officially filed.
Douglas McIntosh June 12, 2015 at 10:25am
when you said next update you still had 6 more days to get them in, but some how you didn't. I guess we can only hope these rounds from April will become official after Worlds
Ben Ross May 29, 2015 at 2:51am
Tournament scores will be up an official at the next update. There was a miscommunication between myself and the pdga tour manager which resulted in the delay. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thanks.
Jared Dow May 28, 2015 at 12:59am
Paperwork for pdga was incomplete. Tourney should have been official by now but it's not.

Day 1 scores are up. You can view them at http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/20681

I report the berths and then the people in charge of that tourney will post them. I will send them the berth information today, but can't say when exactly it will show up on their end. Glad you had a good time. Thanks for coming out.

Is this going to be linked to PDGA at some point?
Matthew Barrett April 19, 2015 at 2:23am
Offering reward for the return of my green champ roc3. Lost on hole 10 in the right side waterway.

Good luck. I went back to get one of mine and a guy was up on 11 with a huge pile of discs.

Just a couple of things to note: tournament central will be held in the pavilion next to the bandshell (you can see the bandshell and the pavilion from hole 1 and it is practically in the fairway of hole 17). If your pdga 3 is not current you will have to pay the $10 non-current fee (we incur this cost from the pdga so if somehow you don't pay the fee then we still have to). There are several places to eat right in town within 5 mins, so finding a place to eat is no trouble. Bring some extr ... more

Apparently the ace pool and 50/50 were not included in the online registration fees, so we will have to collect that the day of for anyone that is interested in getting in on it. Ace pool will be $3 and 50/50 will be $2. Bring an extra 5 bucks if you'd like to participate in these side games! Thanks :)

So I've decided that, in order to make this easier and to have everyone get a better player's pack, EVERYONE that pre-pays online will receive the extra item in their player's pack. This extends through midnight tonight when online registration shuts down. Just my way of saying thanks to those that take the time to pre-pay cause it makes things so much easier. So if you haven't signed up yet and were going to wait to pay...you can still get in on this by paying online! Thanks!
Ben Ross April 17, 2015 at 7:35pm
Last day to register online! Registration will close at midnight tonight, but if you'd like to pay day of you're more than welcome to come out. I'm sure we'll have some spots available. If you know that you're going to pay day of, shoot me a message here on the scene so I can have a card filled out for you. Weather is looking perfect! No rain until Sunday night as of right now. Let's fill this one up!

Will there be a any berths given to am masters?
Ben Ross
April 17, 2015 at 11:27am
As of right now there will be at least one berth going to Am Masters, yes.
Ben Ross April 17, 2015 at 6:31am
The following people were among the first 45 to register and will be receiving a Sparkle FLX Force: Christian Doman, James Cameron, Jared Dow, Kyle Plotzka, Tony Mitchell, Donald Tarver, Wayne VanTuinen, Andrew Walden, Brandon Johnson, Chad Bartholomew, Chris Cretsinger, Dale Winnie, Dave Davies, David Ashley III, Matthew Barrett, Patrick Van Tuinien, Casey Cook, George Beno, Grant Ward, Jamie Mosier, Jon Kind, Malcolm Kletke, Mike Rohloff, Scott Slater, Tim Barham, Ragna Bygda, Andy Rednour, Ba ... more

Slight adjustment to the list for Sparkle Forces. Jacob Yates registered for both days and did so early on which I missed. As a result, Bill Rook you are dropped from the list and Jacob Yates is added. So sorry for the confusion, I will have something else for you Bill. Contact me if you have any questions. Thanks.
Bill Rook
April 18, 2015 at 12:12am
Hmm... I registered about 1 minute after you posted that the next 4 people would get the Force. Pretty sure i was 37 or 38.

Any pros coming?

I think I saw Barry straddle putting the short water hole?.
Ben Ross April 15, 2015 at 10:33pm
Check out the hand crafted trophies in the pictures on the tourney page!
Ben Ross April 14, 2015 at 6:35am
The next 4 people who sign up will receive a Sparkle FLX Force, and then they are gone! Don't miss out! I'm going to extend the extra mystery item for the AMs to the first 40, so the next 10 people can still get in on that. Registration is really starting to move along, so sign up now if you want the extra stuff!
Aaron Gabrielse April 14, 2015 at 4:12am
Are you playing road on hole 12 as OB?
Aaron Gabrielse
April 14, 2015 at 5:17am
Larry had it ob. Just wasn't sure because I know I played a tourney last year where the road was not ob. Might not have been tribal though??? But just curious. Thanks
Ben Ross

It probably was the Tribal Gathering. We wanted to keep that part of the road that crosses in the front casual, but we realized later that it just doesn't really work.
Ben Ross April 13, 2015 at 10:48pm
Just got the player's pack discs in for the Tribal Gathering and man are they sweet! We've got Cryztal Buzzz OS, Fly Dye Cranks, Challengers, Z Buzzz OS, Heat, regular Buzzzes, and so much more! Everyone that's coming out will definitely not be disappointed in the selection! Check out the pics on the tourney page!

You guys make the discs too sexy... nobody will want to throw them =)
I am also disappointed, as this would have affected my rating significantly.
Guys the TD report is in and was submitted long ago. There were some minor issues that had to be fixed, but that was taken care of. I suggest if you have further questions you contact Andrew Sweeton, the pdga tour manager. It's out of my hands..
i did contact Mr. Sweeton... he said you finally got the info they needed to them and it would go official in the JULY update.. dont try and make it sound like this was a PDGA issue.. you didn't do the right thing in the first place..
I'm sure he failed to mention that it was first sent early in May. Yes there were some issues, but those were resolved and it was re-sent a week or two later. I was sent an e-mail from Amber Schoch requesting that a very minor technicality be changed. That e-mail went to my spam folder where I ... more
I'm sure he failed to mention that it was first sent early in May. Yes there were some issues, but those were resolved and it was re-sent a week or two later. I was sent an e-mail from Amber Schoch requesting that a very minor technicality be changed. That e-mail went to my spam folder where I found it two weeks later. I immediately revised and sent it back. I was unhappy that this issue had held up the process, and believe me, I let them know it. I am sorry you are so upset by this. Yes, missing the first update was my fault and I take responsibility. Sometimes life happens, and things get put on hold. Missing the last update was a combination of errors that was unfortunately unavoidable. Again, I apologize, but making accusations without knowing the full story helps no one.
ok well thats a better explanation than we were given in the first place. i agree mistakes happen and i do understand that at this point everything that can be done is done and its just a wait from here.. sorry to jump your case about it.. when its a pay to play situtaion our eyes are on the sites ... more
ok well thats a better explanation than we were given in the first place. i agree mistakes happen and i do understand that at this point everything that can be done is done and its just a wait from here.. sorry to jump your case about it.. when its a pay to play situtaion our eyes are on the sites waiting to see the updates and how it affects our ratings and such. im sure you understand that. either way good luck to you.. hopefully in the future things go a bit more smoothly.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate that. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it never takes this long again. You're right, it is effectively a part of what the players are paying for. Believe me, I want it done and made official just as much as you guys.
