I renewed my pdga membership, is there anyway to get my 10$ back?

Jon Braidman   January 2, 2018 at 9:39pm

Yep, refund issued.

Yulian Kuncheff    December 22, 2017 at 4:56am

Wanted to know a bit more about how Waitlisting works. Does it hold true until the day of the tournament, then if there is still no room, waitlist drops out and gets refunded? Because at this point, I don't really see waitlist people getting in, at least anyone over #5 on the waitlist.

It's possible a bunch of people drop out, especially if the weather is poor. It is doubtful you get in at #9, but you never know. I'll refund everyone 100% on wait-list after the event, likely the next day.

Yulian Kuncheff   December 22, 2017 at 5:57am

Thanks for the info. I was waiting for this one, but the day it opened, i completely blanked until the evening, and then it was already full. Looks like it will be a fun one. Good Luck!

Hey John,

Have you considered adding one or two short holes to the course to eliminate very large groups and ghost groups?

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 17, 2017 at 5:40pm

Yes, I wish we could! Tried to figure out some places where this is worth it and right now, it just doesn't work. Not enough space that isn't super rough. In previous tournaments, we always have a backup on 4 no matter how we set up, so adding holes anywhere but 4 wouldn't alleviate t ... more

Scott Brown   December 18, 2017 at 2:23pm

How about some womens tee pads?

Jon Braidman   December 21, 2017 at 4:37pm

I am consulting with the women on that. I don't want to ruin the integrity of the course for them just so that we have shorter wait times on each hole. Last year, as far as I know the ladies did not slow up the tournament any more than the AM groups. We should all go into this knowing we'll be waiting on several holes, especially 4.

Sarah Amaya    December 13, 2017 at 3:39pm

Why is there a wait list for the women?

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 13, 2017 at 4:10pm

Hey Sarah, no worries you will be added to registration shortly. I didn't intend to have any women on waitlist but the way I set up the caps allowed it to happen. We added 4 women yesterday from waitlist, and you're next.

Scott brown    December 13, 2017 at 5:59am

Kinda weird been looking for this tournament for a week and it just popped up today on here kinda triping out lol

Will you be adding more spots or are the caps firm?

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 11:17pm

It is possible that we add more spots.

Sean LaTour-Jarquin   December 14, 2017 at 12:41am

Please do :) !!

Roger Vartabedian   December 14, 2017 at 12:49am

If some are added in AM Masters 40+, I would consider registration. I won't do another waitlist after GBO and Vegas, nope..no more for me.

Scott Brown    December 12, 2017 at 4:57am

Will we get our $10.00 back after we renew our membership? Before the tourney?

Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 5:05am

I hope so, asking the folks who run the site.

Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 5:39am

Yes I figured out how to do this. Let me know when you are current.

Scott Brown   December 12, 2017 at 1:34pm

Cool, ty

Ok my bad, should be correct now

Jon Braidman    December 12, 2017 at 4:20am

All women have been promoted from Waitlist. I guess I messed up on the division caps (was trying to make sure there were spots for women, but somehow the cap got in the way).

Got charged extra $10 for noncurrent pdga, I’m current, maybe I forgot to check a box :(

On PDGA, you are current until 12/31/17. You have to renew because the tournament is in 2018.

Why is there a waitlist for women?

Also I paid 40+Also

Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 4:52am

I'm working on refunding you the $10.

Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 5:39am

Done, you should receive a $10 refund.

Travis Bones Miranda    December 12, 2017 at 1:39am

Did the format for registration change? Usually there still is a link for registration where you can fill out your info but not actually register until the time? Seems like the format is different? Anyone notice that?

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 2:54am

I don't remember being able to fill out anything before it opens, but they do seem to have changed and updated things.

Travis Bones Miranda   December 12, 2017 at 3:04am

Yah it has changed for sure. The Regester tab is gone. Or maybe it comes up within a certain time frame before the official start time.

Josh Lehan    December 11, 2017 at 11:20pm

I'm not very good at disc golf, but like to play. Would this tournament be too much for me? I noticed there's no Rec or Novice division entry. I'm over 40, so could enter under that category. Would this still be a good idea?

Sigh, I hit the Registration button about 1 second after 8 PM when refreshing the page, and typed as fast as I could, but still somehow only made it as far as the waitlist. I'll still show up anyway.

Josh Lehan   December 12, 2017 at 4:08am

Mistakes made, perhaps to be remembered for next time: Wasn't logged into PayPal, had to type in password and log in. That cost precious seconds.

Jon Braidman   December 12, 2017 at 4:27am

Ya it's brutal! Wish it wasn't all about tech skills, but this is how tourneys are run these days. You are #1 in Am Masters so a fair chance to get in should someone drop.

Steve Keller    December 11, 2017 at 10:13pm

At what point does someone play in Amateur Vs Open? What 18 hole scores is too good to play in Amateur?

Jon Braidman   December 11, 2017 at 10:25pm

Check out the player ratings here: https://www.pdga.com/files/playerdivisiongrid_v10302016.pdf You can also look at the scores from last year's Chabot Tournaments and then look at the round ratings. I would say if you are shooting 5 or more down on short layout, and even on the long layouts, you could compete in Open.

Ken Nelson    December 9, 2017 at 1:41pm

If I sign up advanced is there any way I can be paired with my son he is a junior (8)? I'll will sign him up advanced also if there is no junior division.

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 9, 2017 at 4:58pm

I will absolutely put you in the same group. If we get 4 or more other Juniors, I'll create a Junior division.

Richard Koski    December 8, 2017 at 2:16am

So three players per hole? That's odd.

Permalink
Jon Braidman   December 8, 2017 at 3:41am

Plan is groups of 5. If we have 15 players in a division, that's 3 groups. If we get odd numbers, we may play in mixed division groups like last year. Either way, groups will be re-organized by score and division for final 9.
