One thing I forgot to say...because we carry over ace-pots from event to event for 2023 - it is currently at $900 for the weekend, don't leave it short!

In theory we have two spots left, but will only take players that fit in divisions where a card of three is presently. If you know someone that still wants to play, reach out directly to me, not here.

Saturday tee times are posted...they may change slightly due to what I wrote below.
Think I managed to accommodate almost all requests. Keep in mind that you have to play with your division for this one, those inter-division requests were ignored.
A couple of you had time of day issues for Saturday, hopefully those work out.
If I missed a time of day request for Saturday let me know...we can tweak a bit within your division.

I unregistered to the event many weeks ago and still haven't received a refund. I am also still registered.

Sorry Pierre, I’ll resolve that this evening…anyone want to take his spot?

Darrell Bankes   April 25, 2023 at 4:12pm

Done.

Alex Tiffin    April 24, 2023 at 6:22pm

Super early tee times on the Saturday! The sun is up until 8pm. I don't see why tee times couldn't be at a more reasonable time considering how many people are driving in from out of town

Where are the tee times posted?

Darrell Bankes   April 25, 2023 at 2:05pm

Approximate schedule in photos, working on the tee times now.

Darrell Bankes   April 25, 2023 at 4:37pm

Tee times are posted.

Austen Chyzyk    April 24, 2023 at 4:40pm

Hi Darrell. Any chance you would modify the tournament schedule due to the forecasted weather? Currently calling for 20mm with ~50k winds on sunday

No need to change it. Tournaments happen rain our shine.

Darrell Bankes   April 25, 2023 at 4:40pm

I agree with Brandon...PDGA events typically only delay for lightning and unsafe conditions...since we all play winter disc golf...cold is not a safety issue - ridiculous wind, maybe but 50 km isn't that...that just makes disc golf fun.

Alex Scott   April 27, 2023 at 1:45pm

Exactly!!

Tamara Wudrick    April 23, 2023 at 8:45pm

If we pre-purchased a lunch during registration, is that for Sat, Sun or our choice?

Permalink
Darrell Bankes   April 24, 2023 at 3:45pm

pre purchased lunch is for Saturday, cafe will also offer a regular menu too both days,

Tamara Wudrick   April 24, 2023 at 4:29pm

Thanks Darrell!

Ryan Baxter    April 21, 2023 at 2:51pm

Layout assignments will likely be:
MA2 - MA40 - FA1 one round on the Big Blue Goat - one on the Short Goat

Is this still true? In what order will the layouts be played?

Hey Darrell. Just curious, where did you post the photo of the tentative tee times and layouts?

Darrell Bankes   April 24, 2023 at 3:46pm

one of the photos you find in the 'about' section/tab of this registration page, #2

Ryan Baxter   April 24, 2023 at 5:31pm

When do we find out our specific Tee off times?

Jake Petersen    April 17, 2023 at 4:24pm

I'm currently signed up for both this, and on the waitlist for Christie Lake. Unfortunately it's looking likely that I won't know for sure whether or not I'll get into Christie Lake until registration closes on the 27th. Would that be too late to get a refund for Haute Goat if I get in? I love Haute Goat, and I've played 3 tournaments there already this year, but I've never played one at Christie. Please let me know if this will be an issue.

Darrell Bankes   April 18, 2023 at 11:39pm

Yes, the 27th is too late for a full refund, see the PDGA rules for withdrawals.

Jake Petersen   April 20, 2023 at 11:48am

Appreciate the reply :) I put in my withdrawal on Tuesday evening. Is that enough notice?

Tonya Temple    April 17, 2023 at 12:58pm

Hi, what are spring conditions usually like on this course? Does it get really muddy? Looking forward to playing!

Permalink
Darrell Bankes   April 17, 2023 at 1:11pm

Conditions have been very good this spring, the property dries out quite well, poor 14 is sometimes wet near the green, but that is about it. We are mulching around some of the greens just to make them a bit nicer too.

Darrell Bankes   April 17, 2023 at 1:12pm

I am heading there this morning, will take some pictures and share on Instagram and Facebook

Tonya Temple   April 17, 2023 at 2:16pm

That's excellent! I expect wet conditions for spring, more curious about how muddy it gets but happy to hear it drains well. Thanks for quick response Darrell

Saro Shishmanian    April 8, 2023 at 6:09pm

When I try to register it tells me there's a wait list for ma40 however the number of participants are showing 18/19.

Just wanted clarification if this was full or is there a available spot?

Permalink
Darrell Bankes   April 8, 2023 at 6:47pm

Overall the tournament is full, sign up for the wait list, confident a few spots will open.

Mike Pelley    March 28, 2023 at 8:41pm

Sorry I am unable to attend also I have requested a withdrawal

Darrell Bankes   March 28, 2023 at 9:00pm

Ok, sorry you can’t make it. Will process the withdrawal soon.

Darrell Bankes    March 21, 2023 at 12:19am

We just promoted a bunch of players from the waitlist, if you were lucky enough to be one of them please proceed with your registration.
I will re-visit the waitlist after the Triple Double East event this weekend.
Just over a month away so please let us know if you no longer want to play so we can let others enjoy the event.
Thanks.

Hope your winter disc golf season is priming you for this event. We are excited to share that Diameter Apparel is helping us with a custom player pack item for this event. I am receiving the odd withdrawal and promptly adding players from the list. Still debating whether we can increase the entire field size to accommodate some more players. We still have some snow on the course but expect it to clear a fair bit this week before the Triple Double East tournament this Saturday. We are making a fe ... more

Hello Darrell how did your reminders go will u be promoting anymore I'm so close me and my travel team mate are 1 and 2 on waiting list

Darrell Bankes   March 6, 2023 at 4:22pm

withdrawals and reminders are coming and going regularly...

Darrell Bankes   March 6, 2023 at 4:23pm

hopefully a few more people get moved from the waitlist soon, doing our best to balance divisions now for full cards and to meet the threshold for more qualifying spots

Darrell Bankes    February 10, 2023 at 2:47pm

Just sent a batch of reminders out to people who were promoted from the waitlist for payment and confirmation that they would like to participatehopefully by the end of the weekend I can promote a few more players from the waitlist.

David Ruh    February 7, 2023 at 7:34pm

Hi Darrell. Any chance I can be moved from MA50 to MA60? This would give you a full card for the MA60 division. Thanks

Permalink
David Ruh   February 7, 2023 at 7:37pm

Nevermind. I was able to edit the division I'm in online. Thanks!

Darrell Bankes   February 10, 2023 at 2:46pm

Thanks for doing that online. I expect there will be some division shuffling as we get closer, as ratings update and people choose to play age specific divisions.

Darrell Bankes    February 7, 2023 at 5:07pm

Hi, after consulting with the MA1 and FA1 divisions we have decided to eliminate the TOP-GOAT final 9 on the Sunday afternoon. This was done mostly to allow us to accommodate more players overall. We will use the TOP-GOAT layout later in the season for another B-tier that will have a player limit that makes it more manageable on the final day. I am updating the limits today and will be sending invites to join us from the waitlist.

Darrell Bankes   February 7, 2023 at 5:25pm

We are now at 152 players, let me see how many commit to coming in the next day or so and then I will re-visit the waitlist.

Darrell Bankes   February 7, 2023 at 7:20pm

Will be editing the tee time sheet tonight too, maybe we can get 160 out in a day.

Darrell Bankes    January 14, 2023 at 6:57pm

Just bumped this up to 136 players, a few will have to come a bit earlier, but not too bad, 8am, and yes, Sunday might stretch a bit, but it's going to be fun to have 136 players out for the weekend.

Epic!

shelley Kingma-Kitchen   January 16, 2023 at 1:07am

Hoping you can put our 3rd in on fa50 and fa40

Darrell Bankes   February 7, 2023 at 5:23pm

done, lots of players have been promoted from the waitlist

Darrell Bankes    January 13, 2023 at 7:42pm

Wow! Just upped the cap to 120! Thanks to all of you for signing up. This inspires me to get out to the Goat and do some upgrades before the event.

I have the same question. I had the original registration date in my calendar so I could make sure I signed up right away, but because of the last minute change I couldn't and am now waitlisted.

Darrell Bankes   January 14, 2023 at 6:26pm

I am doing the math to figure out if we can bump it to 132 or 140 players, I'm happy to do it, we should have plenty of daylight, just means people are there later on Sunday afternoon,

Darrell Bankes   January 14, 2023 at 6:26pm

if we do bump it that will clear the waitlist
