Do we have a timeline on when my shirt will be delivered?

Hiya, John. I'll have Cara provide all that information so we can arrange all the missing shirt deliveries as soon as Diameter can get them out the door.

Hi everyone,
I lost a red destroyer between hole 18 and 1. It’s inked up like crazy on the bottom of the disc.
Paul Voskamp July 8, 2021 at 4:21pm
Hi Cara,
Will card times be constant throughout the weekend by division, or will they be switching around at all?
Also, are cards shuffled or reorganized each evening?
Looking forward to a great weekend. Thanks!
Paul

Tee time divisional blocks will be maintained throughout the event. Cara will likely be able to address the round 2/3 shuffles in the Tee Time deliveries tonight.

Great question, Paul. As Lobo mentioned, the windows of time in which each division will tee off will be constant throughout the weekend, but your cards and exact tee times will vary based on your total score following your round each day. This means you may be playing at a different time within your division window each day. Hope this helps!

Discy Chicks Disc Golf store is available for all your disc golf needs, located just 20 mins from the course. If you let me know what you need I can bring it with me to the course if our tee times coincide. Facebook is where all the stock is pictured. You can message Melinda Myall with anything you need. Thanks for supporting local shops while your hear.
Bridgenorth has one of the best delicatessen in the area.

It would be great if you could set up a booth. I just assumed there would be local vendors setup. Is this not the case?
Lobo - CC McBurney
July 8, 2021 at 5:39pm
Due to Covid 19 restrictions vendors will not be present at our summer National Satellite events.
Kyle Labine July 8, 2021 at 3:30am
I’ll be heading to the course tomorrow for about 5:30-5:45 hopefully if anyone wants to join me for a practice round. Bring bug spray everyone!!
Saro Shishmanian July 8, 2021 at 3:09am
Soo I'm 4th now on the waitlist is it safe to say I won't be playing?
Daniel Abthorpe July 7, 2021 at 4:21pm
I'm heading to the course for the first time tomorrow by myself. Anyone want to meet up for a practice round?
Cara Hovius
July 8, 2021 at 3:35am
Yes, email has been sent out with course details and directions. Have fun and enjoy your practice rounds everyone!
Wesley Watt July 6, 2021 at 4:08pm
Not a question, but a positive comment. Thank you Cara for how quickly you have been responding to everyone’s questions/concerns. Even though the tournament hasn’t started, this is already going above and beyond the expectations. The up to date communication goes a long way!!!! You rock!!!!
Again…. Thank you!!!

I have to agree. Cara has been incredibly responsive to all the questions on here. It's so appreciated
Cara Hovius

Thank you for these incredibly kind words. It’s my great pleasure to answer your questions and make sure everyone has the best tournament experience possible. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!
Marc-André Comtois July 5, 2021 at 7:44pm
So I just saw that my division MJ18 is down to two people...I’ve made hotel plans and other stuff for the weekend so I just wanted to make sure that my division doesn’t get cancelled, I would also be into playing MA2 if it becomes an issue
Cara Hovius
July 6, 2021 at 1:59pm
Hello Marc-Andre. Thanks for your question! We will still be running the MJ18 division with two participants, but you will be on a split card with players from another division. Hope this helps. See you on Friday!
Jason Comendador July 5, 2021 at 2:53pm
Is there a course map with pars and distances? I haven't played the course yet and I can't find any information about the course on udisc. I'd like to get an idea of what the course is like if I can't play a practice round. Thanks for your help.
Kat Johnson Cara Hovius
July 5, 2021 at 6:48pm
Hi Jason. Yes, as others have mentioned, the course map is available on UDisc. A course map will also be provided with the virtual player’s meeting later this week and will also be available through the PDGA Scoring app when you are playing your rounds.
Josh Prine July 4, 2021 at 3:45am
Just had a practice round out there this long weekend and notice a handful of holes had basket locations in shorter positions than usual. Are they going to moved to the older traditional positions. Also had a question about to tee assignments and curious what the reasoning is for MPO playing short tees round one? Course is looking amazing still is the best course in Ontario looking forward to this and appreciate all the hard work that everyone has put into this event.
Cara Hovius
July 4, 2021 at 2:00pm
Hi Josh. Good question. This decision was based on discussions with the full tournament team (Karl, Gabe, Jeff & myself). The baskets will be in the long positions for Day 1 from the shorts, with some of the shorter basket positions currently in place on the course being utilized in play on ... more
Tonya Temple June 29, 2021 at 6:58pm
Hi! Just wondering if the course is cart-friendly? Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend!

I played it a couple weeks ago, first round I brought my cart around, second round I did not. I would suggest using your bag for this course.

Hey Tanya - I brought my cart yesterday when I played and the cart paths are excellent. It's a bit bumpy but tbh not any worse than Ettyville, etc. I'd rather have my cart than not!
Tonya Temple
July 5, 2021 at 4:01pm
Thanks all. I'll bring my cart in case, also rather have it so I can bring more water. Appreciate everyone's thoughts
Gregory Lang June 28, 2021 at 8:40pm
I am trying to plan whether to stay at a cottage north of there or commute to toronto. could you please provide the location of Area 51, I mean Project 15. Thanks
Cara Hovius
June 29, 2021 at 12:50pm
The nearest settlement is Youngs Point, which is a great location to reference. Exact directions to the course will be provided in an upcoming email communication to all registered players.
Marc-André Comtois June 27, 2021 at 10:55pm
Just wondering if the one caddie per the pdga rules will be allowed for this tournament?
Cara Hovius
June 28, 2021 at 1:47pm
Caddies are permitted for this event. We will be following COVID-19 requirements and ask that all players and caddies follow physical distancing and masking recommendations. To limit our gathering sizes, we also ask that only registered players check-in at Tournament Central.
Angelica Haggert June 27, 2021 at 5:08pm
When will the schedule be out? Accommodating a Friday tee and a work schedule is tricky and the most time ahead possible would be best!
Cara Hovius
June 28, 2021 at 4:08pm
Scheduled tee times will be posted in the week leading up to the event. This allows for specific tournament details to be finalized (including registration) and avoids scheduling adjustments and confusion. I would recommend considering the tournament to be a full day commitment as a round at Project15 is expected to take about 4 hours.
Michael Lewis
July 5, 2021 at 1:50pm
Hey Cara, any clarity on when we can expect to see our tee times on Friday?
Cara Hovius
July 5, 2021 at 4:08pm
Hi Michael. Great question. There will be a tentative schedule posted on Disc Golf Scene this evening, with time blocks for when each division can expect to have scheduled tee times, based on where we currently stand with the registration. Sadly there have been a few cancellations, which has been ... more
Michael Lewis June 27, 2021 at 2:30pm
Hello Cara! Just wondering about what tees each division is using...I am registered in MA40, I would really like a crack at the long tees at some point during the weekend...will I get a chance in MA40 or would I have to switch divisions?
Cara Hovius
June 28, 2021 at 12:40pm
Hi Michael. Thanks for your question. I haven’t finalized which layouts will be used for each division. Please keep an eye on your email as this information will be provided prior to the tournament.
Aaron Dodson June 23, 2021 at 1:15pm
Hey everyone! Wondering if there is accomodation recommendations? Would love to stay with other tossers
Patrick McCauley
June 25, 2021 at 8:14am
if anyone wants to camp - id be interested in splitting a site! (also going to other courses before or after maybe)
Aaron Dodson
June 27, 2021 at 12:22am
I just booked here as it was the cheapest I could find for camping, I would have split but it is the same price for two. would love to see other discgolfers if your still looking for a spot! (Sorry if this is isn't allowed, I haven't been to this place, know them etc, just wanna see y'all round the campfire! https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/ontario/rod-c-s-land/treed-treasure-campsite

Eric Guité June 20, 2021 at 10:50pm
I am still holding out hope that the wait list will clear up in the next couple of weeks, but in the event that I am not playing the tournament, would I still be able to come down and maybe volunteer or help out in some capacity?
Cara Hovius
June 21, 2021 at 12:32am
Absolutely! Thank you so much for the offer. We will be reaching out to those who would like to volunteer shortly, so we'll be sure to include you. :)
Andrew Lefler June 20, 2021 at 10:23pm
Just wondering if the course will be available to play for practice rounds prior to the Thursday? Ideally around one of the next couple of weekends. Thanks, looking forward to the tournament.
Thank you Daniel. We hope everyone had a great time. :)
