Do we have an ETA on tee times for Sunday ?

First round at Brewer at the AM's, hole 7... I forgot to grab my pink, first run Raptor up by the basket to the right. Whomever picked it up, please bring it to the tournament tomorrow, thanks. Adam Reuss

Big thank you to Jimmy Johns for providing lunch on Saturday for all of the amateur players.
Michael Rockey July 7, 2021 at 11:00am
Please excuse me for this question can you tell me what tee times mean? I have an idea but don't want to speculate.

For Sunday rounds they will post Sat night a set time for each card to tee off at the designated course(Hammond) for instance a 10:05 am tee time you would need to be to Hammond and ready to tee ten minutes prior to the time posted. Everyone will start on hole 1 and finish on hole 18.

Is the early check in for players from 3-6p on Thursday at Spectrum?
Shea Abbgy
July 7, 2021 at 7:34am
No. Please observe the schedule posted on the discgolfscene about page.

Ahh, so early check-in & player pack pick up is during the party from 6-9pm? It only referenced the party on the about page, so just want to clarify

Is there any drone footage/tournament footage/ or just filmed rounds of the layout at Hammond Hills that MA3 will be playing, I have never played there before and probably won’t be able to get in a round between now and Sunday and it would be helpful to get a preview of some of the holes so I am not going into it completely blind.

Crew42 did post coverage of the long layout (Hammond Hill Grand Prix), but not all the holes are the same (since for River Caity Open it’s a mix of long and shorts). Can still give you a look at the park before you get out there, not our layout but still.
Shea Abbgy July 6, 2021 at 6:57pm
ATTENTION: Due to the flooding at Riverside Park we will not be playing there this weekend for this event. We will move forward with the course schedule announced earlier this week. You can find that in the comment directly below this. We will be updating discgolfscene and PDGA throughout the day.
Jeff Vanderploeg July 6, 2021 at 2:05am
If we play Hammond, will hole 11 be the U-shaped mega hole that goes past the big sprawling tree trunk? Or will it be the long pin that is over the path to the right after you hyzer in?
Thanks

Thank you! getting all the pin positions figured out is a project, but you all have done a nice job
Monty Wonnacott July 5, 2021 at 9:21pm
Sent a refund request for Am1, hope everyone has a good time
Dallas Downing July 4, 2021 at 4:13pm
Refund requested, won’t be able to make it anymore. Thank you in advance!
Austin Fuller Kipp Kurdelski July 4, 2021 at 1:55am
I signed up, for the am3. Can I get a refund, 142873 thanks

If we play Hammond hills will the layout be the same as it was in the Hammond hills Grand Prix tournament this year?
Shea Abbgy
July 4, 2021 at 2:01am
No. They are moving the baskets tomorrow to the positions would be playing at RCO.
Trevor Potter July 4, 2021 at 12:03am
If we play Hammond on Sunday, what will the pin positions be? Will they be what they are currently or will it change?
Shea Abbgy
July 4, 2021 at 12:09am
They will be moving the baskets into the positions we would use for RCO Sunday 7/4.

Is there any room for this tournament? How far down on a wait list would I be if I register?
Craig Clingan
July 3, 2021 at 4:45pm
Depends on which pool you register for. https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/River_City_Open_Am_presented_by_Discraft_2021/waitlist

Riverside underwater today… does it usually clear up within a week?
Shea Abbgy
July 3, 2021 at 9:32pm
It is likely the flooding will subside by the time of the event. Will the course be playable is another question. I just posted more information about Riverside Park.
Drake Evans
July 5, 2021 at 1:15am
Thanks so much for clearing it up. Excited whichever way it pans out!
Elijah Bernstein July 2, 2021 at 7:42pm
How do prizes work with tee times? I have only done shotgun start tournaments in the past, also are we playing long grass as OB for red tees at brewer?
Shea Abbgy
July 3, 2021 at 9:30pm
Hole prizes will only be available Saturday. Players can collect those Sunday upon check in for their tee time. Divisional prizes will be awarded as divisions finish Sunday. Brewer will have some painted OB lines. Lines will be painted by the end of the day Wednesday 7/7.
When will the official call be made on the proposed changes?
See the last line of Shea’s post
Do you know if Hammond will be played from Longs or Shorts depending on division?
The layout is a mix of longs and shorts. The baskets are currently in the locations we would be using.
So, will the Hammond Hills layout be 18 holes? or more?
Hammond will be 18 holes.
What about pad locations? Are we playing from the long pads as they are the only poured pads?
Yes. We are throwing from the concrete pads.
Thank you
