Mike Pelley What’s the difference’s between the white and blue lay outs? Jun 14, 2024

Scott Jameson Jun 14, 2024 Pro rating should affect the amateur ratings. That's how the system is supposed to work......the more propagators on the same layout, the more accurate the rating calculation.

Sean Galbraith Jun 14, 2024 Hole 6 and 16 become a par 5. Holes 11 and 12 become a par 4.

Mike Pelley Jun 14, 2024 Ok awesome thanks guys!!!

Anthony Vandermarel When will tee times be posted? Jun 13, 2024

Cara Hovius Jun 14, 2024 Tee times have been posted for Saturday on the PDGA event page.

James Duong Hi Cara! Just looking over the players guide and I saw that this Friday from 4pm-9pm will be the players check-in and meeting. Is this mandatory or is there any other way we can check in without making the drive? Jun 13, 2024

Cara Hovius Jun 14, 2024

Hi James. You can also check in on Saturday before your tee time. We ask that everyone arrive 15 min ... show more ›

Scott Jameson Anybody have a mosquito report? Always nice to know for wardrobe and deet selection.

Thanks! Jun 13, 2024

Jorge Jensen Jun 13, 2024 Hey Scotty. The mosquitos are not nearly as bad as White Spruce but Albion has very lush, very tall rough so ticks are in play.

Lisa Eschli Jun 13, 2024 I'm out here now and the deer fly are biting. Only had a couple mosquitoes.

Robbie Holden With the doubles event on Friday, will we still be able to get out for practice rounds on Friday? Jun 12, 2024

Jeff MacKeigan Jun 12, 2024 Yes.

Michael Wilson I'm signed up for MA2 but just got my first rating (954) from my first tournament a couple weeks ago which seems to be too high now - should I move up to MA1? How do I do that if so? Jun 11, 2024

Cara Hovius Jun 11, 2024 Hi Michael. Let's take a look and figure out the right division for you. I'll send you a separate note to get you sorted.

Sean Galbraith For those who haven't played the course before, here is a fly through so you can see what to expect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF0LtqjRcr4 Jun 10, 2024

Tobin Izatt Jun 10, 2024 Thank you Sean!

Sean Galbraith Jun 10, 2024 (a link to it is also in the Players Manual)

Jeff MacKeigan Jun 11, 2024 Thanks for all the great contributions you make to disc golf Mr. Galbraith!

Sean Galbraith For people who are camping for the weekend, you're allowed a second car (for a fee) on your camp site. It might be helpful for the parking situation if you allowed a non-camping person to park at your site for their round. Jun 10, 2024

Josh Saxe Hello all, just adding this here (because hopefully everyone registered for the tournament is seeing all of these posts). Link to a Google Doc regarding a potluck for Saturday evening.

Jeff MacKeigan Jun 6, 2024 Great idea Josh! We'll contribute some Red Bull to the mix. :)

Sean Galbraith Jun 10, 2024 Josh: Maybe add camp site numbers as well, so we can find each other?

Josh Saxe Jun 11, 2024 Hi Sean, I'm staying in one of the cabins but not sure which one yet (and I don't know exactly where they are in relation to the camp sites). Will update as I get more info.

Sean Galbraith Cara: Are you planning on adjusting the pars for any of the divisions, to create new "courses" for rating propagation? Jun 3, 2024

Jeff Robinson Jun 5, 2024 Don't make to course easier for MA50. I love a good challenge. Even if it sometimes bites me in the a$$.

Sean Galbraith Jun 6, 2024 Thanks, Cara! This is great to hear

Cara Hovius Hello everyone! Please keep an eye out for a Player’s Manual that will be shared with event participants in the next week or so. It is our hope that this will provide everything players need to know about the tournament, but please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions in the meantime. Jun 3, 2024

Jeff MacKeigan Jun 2, 2024 The TRCA team is working hard to get a system setup for weekly maintenance.Thank you for everyone's patience. It's pretty amazing to consider that this course only formally launched a month ago!

Cara Hovius Apr 25, 2024 Refund processed. Hope to see you next year!

Tomas Bujnak Is the players meeting on Friday mandatory? Would save me a trip up there Friday and then again Saturday morning. Thanks, Tomas. Mar 18, 2024

Sean Galbraith Mar 18, 2024 Perhaps a virtual meeting could be posted on youtube?

Leigh McKinley Is there a cost to get into the park on top of the tournament fees? Feb 29, 2024

Cara Hovius Feb 29, 2024 Tournament participants will be able to enter the park for free on tournament days (both Saturday and Sunday).

Sara Skates Mar 1, 2024 This is the best thing I have ever heard!

Jorge Jensen Hi Jeff and Cara. I don't see any division caps. Are you allocating any numbers of registrants to any divisions or is this strictly a first come first served process until the tournament is full? Feb 29, 2024

Geoffrey Noseworthy Feb 29, 2024 Hi Jorge. The divisions would be on a first come first served basis, until the tournament is full.

Marcus Schmidt Hey Jeff and Cara thank you for putting on their event at a course in my home town. I was just wondering if the remaining $70.00 of the tournament fee, is going towards our players packs for the Ams? Thank you. Feb 27, 2024

Cara Hovius Feb 27, 2024 Hi Marcus. All ams will receive a player’s pack. We are still working on a few details as it relates to this and the size of player’s packs which will also determine the extent of merch outs.

Patrick Treude Hi Cara, Jeff, and Geo. The info says all divisions are playing for a trophy. Does this include all the pro divisions as well. Feb 24, 2024

Patrick Treude Feb 27, 2024 So, does this mean all pro divisions get a player's pack. I'm not sure why the entry fees are more for pros. Can you elaborate on this. Thanks in advance.

Pros will be competing for payouts and winners of each division will receive a small trophy. Ams wil ... show more ›
