OB question: Are the OB lines in-bounds or OB, ie if my disc is in OB area but is touching the OB line is it safe or OB? I thought I noticed verbiage for both.

I mispoke on my last comment: If any part of the disc is touching inbounds, it's in. So if your disc is on the OB line and is not touching any part of the inbounds, it is out.

Ryan, Is a 844 rated player ok to be in MA4? Asking for a friend.

Ryan Sage   September 14, 2023 at 12:27pm

PDGA rules state that MA4 players must be <850 rated. So I would say that's ok

James Barnett   September 14, 2023 at 6:47pm

Whoops! My bad!

Bob and Harriet’s Home Bar, a Kirkwood based restaurant and bar, will be on site serving up lunch for players and spectators. Please come hungry and help support our generous food vendor for coming out for this event

Disc Golf Clinic and Prodigy Disc vending at the tournament:
Professional Player and Prodigy Disc rep Martin Young will be on site during the tournament! Martin will host a free disc golf clinic in between round 1 and 2 (we will ensure there is enough time for lunch and clinic between rounds. Martin will be able to provide some additional clinic help after round 2.

Thank you very much to Martin and the Prodigy Disc crew for volunteering your time and supporting this event and curious players looking to learn and improve their game!

UPDATE:
I have opened MA4 as I have several players reach out saying this is their first tournament and are more casual players. If you are more casual of a player, shooting over par on average, this division may be better suited for you.

Schedule looks great. As a busy first timer who signed up late. What are the chances of movement on the waitlist?

Ryan Sage   September 22, 2023 at 1:22am

I have added the option for a Trophy Only option on the registration page. This sets player entry to a flat $20 for all AM divisions. Choose this option if you'd like to play the tourney for $20 for trophy payout and not receive a player pack
