Player's Meeting Email has been sent out to all registered players. Starting Hole assignments are in progress to be posted online soon.
I will be accepting walk-up/day-of registrations, however I ask that those interested message me ahead of time and show up to register BEFORE 820AM so we have time to do it in person.

The course is flagged up! Good luck practicing for the event. If you have any questions about the caddybook/course, please reach out to me directly from the "Contact Tournament Staff" option on the "About" page. Looking forward to playing disc golf with you on December 2nd!

I posted the Caddy Book under the “Pictures'' tab. Although I don’t expect any changes, I want to give the disclaimer that the course rules are still subject to change (though I hope not). The official course rules will be on PDGA live, so any updates needed will be there on tournament day. Hopefully this will give you some guidance if you’d like to play any practice rounds. The course should be flagged sometime early next week, and we shouldn’t have any issues with access from now through the tournament. I will make another comment once the flags are set up.

Is there a reason why the tournament is only one round? I know the days are shorter but there’s plenty of two round events that happen during fall and winter still.

So I won MA1 last year and didn't even win enough money for a disc... I'd love to come back and defend, but I have issue with the pay structure. You say low entry fee results in low pay out, but $32.00 is on par with other tournaments I've played. And the issue last year anyway was the pay out structure, where people were literally getting $1.00 for whatever place they finished. That is definitely unheard of... Is it going to be structured the same this year? I thought the PDGA had specific guidelines for it.

Everything is/will be according to the PDGA’s guidelines. I am required by rule to pay out 45% of the amateur field at a minimum, and I will avoid giving someone payout that is less than $5. When you put this together, in addition to the PDGA guidelines for payout scale, sometimes payout tends ... more

THE DISCS ARE IN!!!
Check out the picture I posted showing off some of the AMAZING Halo players pack discs (Roc3/Wombat3).
I'll be posting more photos soon of some of the other discs that are available: Flat-Top Glow (KC) Pigs, Halo Destroyers, Color Glow Toros, Color Glow Leopard3s, Color Glow Roc3s, Glow Teebirds, Star Rollos, and R-Pro Aviars.

"Any payout not redeemed at the conclusion of event will be VOIDED."
This seems to conflict with 1.10.G.2. Can you please provide any clarification?

Wade, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have fixed the wording in question to more easily and accurately reflect what will happen for the event which will be in accordance with the PDGA's Competition Manual.

Be a lot cooler if this was 2 rounds
Micah, this event is meant to promote the sport and tournaments as a whole. Having this event be one round promotes overall participation to all players; from those who have never played a tournament before, to those who play tournaments every week, and all players between.
