Farragut Frenzy presnted by MVP Disc Sports * (ApeX Point Series #12)

Jennifer shanley

We just played at Farragut and no mosquito problems. And no spray. The only ticks I've come across so far were in our house lol. I think my dog brought them in from our yard. Nasty. Both on me. One in my bed and one on the couch. Disgusting!

Jennifer shanley

Caliber is another story for mosquitoes! Are you just playing in july? They might not be that bad by then. But prepare!

Lauren Bevill

Thank you, Jennifer! I understand the tick "yuck"--both Riley and Dan had them after playing Eagle Island on Sunday. They're the worst! Glad to know we don't have a big worry this weekend. :) See you tomorrow!

As I previously stated full refunds would be issued if made within 48 hours of the event. Please request a refund via your registrations page.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

Thank you

Jack Griffing

That's a great question. We'll provide an email clarification today, but the intent is that divisions of less than 6 players would all play the second sanctioned round. Thanks for the question!

Jack Griffing

Not that I'm aware of for this event.

Yosef Krajewski

There's not enough events with "cut lines", so we decided to host this event with one.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

I would not enjoy a 4 hour drive to only get 1 round potentially

Yosef Krajewski

I can understand your apprehension, however, the format was always as such. This is the 3rs year we've run this event with this format and have received nothing but positive feedback

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

Was just hoping to get at least 2 rounds for the cost of this C-tier.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

Plus the format/layout did adjust long after peeps have been signed up. I was excited for 2 loops on Saturday

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

If I request a refund, would I get it back? I ask because it is close to the date of the event, and do not want to withdraw without a refund.

Cameron Sheehan

I agree with Jeremy. Paying $80, driving 4hrs (for him) for maybe playing 21 holes with only 69 total people signed up on 3 courses to play does sound a little unfair. And then divisions with less than 6 people automatically move on to sunday? I'm not trying to sound rude at all, i like playing Apex events, but i am really confused on how this is consitant for all divisions.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

I do not mean to be rude either. I simply was not aware of the RECENT changes to the layout. Because of the changes, I do not find it fair to change the players to only allow 1 single round of play when 2 rounds were originally offered at registration, plus the 50% cut.

With the change to a single round on Saturday, the Sunday round sound be included for everyone and the cut should he removed (or the entry price reduced).

Cory M Foss

I agree with Jeremy and Cameron. Why would it be fair to cut the field after 40% of the tournament is played? Not even the pro tour does that, they do it after 75% completion. I think a cut is poorly chosen after making the schedule change. Making the 31 hole loop Saturday and the 21 hole loop Sunda ... more

I think a cut is poorly chosen after making the schedule change. Making the 31 hole loop Saturday and the 21 hole loop Sunday would at least allow players to get to participate in over half the tournament the signed up for, regardless of how they do.

Thomas Sutton

I agree with what the others are saying. I would hate to pay $80 to not even get to play half of the potential holes. I agree with Cory that making the 31 hole loop on Saturday would be better so you get to play in at least half of the even. Joining the Ace Race is fun if you don't make the cut, but not if you get cut before playing half of the event.

Cory M Foss

I don't see that cuts were a part of the previous tournaments held in this same combo layout format, which is the biggest complaint. "Back to Base X" "Back to Base X 2.0" why add them now?

Yosef Krajewski

This event was planned with the anticipation of filling 3 courses over the weekend and for whatever reason it did not reach those expectations.

This event was planned with the anticipation of filling 3 courses over the weekend and for whatever reason it did not reach those expectations. I recieved complaints that the original format of 67 holes (2 rounds of 18 on Saturday and a 31 hole loop on Sunday) in 2 days was a bit much so we made an executive decision to modify the event to be less holes played while maximizing the "fun factor"so we decided to keep modified loops in play. Originally the cut lines were top 20 in each division, then it was modified to 50%, whis also does not cater to small divisions. 6 was the magic number that was decided upon. I appreciate your feedback and your concerns and I do take them very much to heart. This was unforseen and unprecedented and the first time I've had to make a decision like this. I apologize for the inconvenice, unfortunatly, sometimes last minute decisions dont appeal to everyone. Full refunds will be issued given that a request is made within 48 hours of the start of the event.

Cory M Foss

The complaining is about having a cut after the changes. Why do you insist on having it? Seems like all of your problems are solved with removing it and letting everyone compete the whole tournament.

Yosef Krajewski

The cut line was ALWAYS part of the format. Giving those who don't make the cut an opportunity to play the ACE RACE on Sunday that has its own separate payout.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

Thank you for the response and the option for the refund. Cory, my issue was not that of the cut line, but I originally just asked about it. My concern was the lack of play on Saturday.

Cory M Foss

Your issue was the cut line though. It's in all of your comments.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

After the format changed it was an issue. The original format I signed up for, was what I was expecting. Nothing more then wanting to get an adequate amount of play for my money.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

But to the tournament staff, I am sorry for causing any inconveniences and I mean no ill will towards anyone or the event. I hope it goes well for everyone else. Just wasn't up my alley at this time.

Cory M Foss

I agree, my complaint of the cut is after the changes were made. I knew there was one when I signed up for the original format.

Jack Griffing

For players who make the cut (top 50% of each division), yes. For those who don't, there is an optional 54-hole ace race at Little Black Bear on Sunday instead.

Jack Griffing

1 round of 21 holes on Saturday, then 1 round of 31 holes on Sunday.

Yosef Krajewski

To be determined. Depending upon your division, it will either be 2 of the 3 main courses. Northstar, Wreckreator, A.W.O.L..

Jack Griffing

As an FYI to anyone reading these comments, this layout has changed. Saturday will be a 21-hole loop (course(s) vary depending on divisions) and Sunday will be a 31-hole loop including parts of all three main courses.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

What? When did the format change for Saturday? I was expecting 2 loops when I signed up?

Jack Griffing

Format change occurred 5/31 and players signed up were notified via email.

Yosef Krajewski

It is 2 loops. 1 loop of 10 holes and 1 loop of 11.

Jeremy "Medium Jerm" Sauve

That's not the same as 2 loops of a full layout, ie 2 rounds
