Had a blast! Thanks for the hospitality, Orlando. Anyone seen the payouts online or have a pic they can add to the photos section? Heard it was up at HQ.

Where’s check in for woods? Can I get player pack there or from main hq
Please read you caddy book, it has answers like these. Check in for Bill Frederick at main HQ as well as the players meeting.

Wait... so now Ma3 is playing the 1 course we were never scheduled to play?? Boooooooooo
Woods course is by far the best course! So much better than original or Parkside!

It seems unwise to make the trip for those out of town with state-wide gas shortages, state of emergency evacuation traffic, and anticipated tropical force weather starting as soon as Sunday morning. There is no specific criteria for natural disasters influencing PDGA events on their website so why would there be a withdrawal penalty? So, how are withdrawals refunds going be handled in this unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstance?
Thank you for the copy and paste of info from the front page but I asked here because I did all of that. I have yet to receive a response from them which is why I was reaching out. This seems like a situation where the basic rules proposed by the PDGA should be overlooked with so many unknown variables for people traveling from far away.
You and the 200 other people who have emailed asking the same question probably won’t get a response... it’s a ****ty situation.. but at this point I’m pretty sure your options are A) play the event.. or B) follow pdga refund policy guidelines...
Yes, we will be following PDGA guidelines (which was discussed with the PDGA). At this point, unless someone prefers the 25% refund we will be sending players packages to the address on the registration. This will take a while as we are focused on the event and then the hurricane.

Address to "The Woods" course?
The Woods course is the first road to the left after you enter the park.
3401 S Hiawassee Rd, Orlando, FL 32835 Same as the other 2 courses at Bill Frederick Park. The Woods course is up near the front of the park.

Any locals in Orlando ? What’s the condition like up there ? Are you able to find gas ?
I don’t want to make the 3 hour drive up there and be stuck cause I can’t find gas or roads are closed.
Just drove by the 7-11 near tlp, still has gas. Most places still have gas here, just anecdotal but coastal cities seem to be seeing a shortage more than Orlando so far.

Travel safe everyone. Evacs have started here and they said to make sure your packed for 5-7 days. Also make sure you to give yourself a lot of time to arrive at the park early enough with all the traffic about to accumulate.
They stopped doing this in 2017 with Irma, they now have emergency shoulder use, which replaced contraflow. The law enforcement resources became too great so they changed the method of evacuation.

Now that we are off the hook for Monday, have tits cooled down yet?! I see Craig PP is still a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Poor bastard. You have a tourney to win. RISE UP SOLDIER!

Can we please use all withdrawal request funds to update signs at Northside and have them say "Funded by Dorian 2019"
Mike Puna August 30, 2019 at 12:31am
Any other sport would’ve cancelled there event under these circumstances how is this looking out for the safety of our players at the end of the day every player makes there own decision but cmon people stop the madness it’s disc golf is it really worth the risk do you really think your gonna have fun to all my buddies playing and the rest of you die hards be safe out there
I mean out of 300+ players signed up your crying the most about bad weather. Makes it seem like you need perfect conditions to play. Yours are your own person if your that afraid of bad weather be an adult and make a decision yourself.

I’d think if it could be done condensing to 4 rounds on Saturday and Sunday would ease a lot of people’s minds and give time. Also give the td’s a break, they are trying to be patient and want to make the best decision they can.
Lmao I literally just said this to my buddy 15 mins ago. Monday is ****ing with people’s minds.
Justin Brown August 29, 2019 at 10:06pm
Well I for one am super excited! Time to really test them skills boys and girls.
Conor Montague August 29, 2019 at 8:16pm
This is pure Kafka
I don't expect this kind of high-level thinking from a disc golfer. Bravo sir!
Mike Gambini August 29, 2019 at 8:13pm
I just made some fresh popcorn, would someone please make a stupid comment ASAP??
Reed Hancock August 29, 2019 at 6:30pm
Can we please chill! It won’t be too severe until Monday and a fifth round isn’t very necessary anyways
Scott Paul August 29, 2019 at 6:06pm
Wonder if them handing out sandbags at Barnett Patk will afect the Tournament any....

Everyone calm down. Storm is slowing. Its nit expected to hut land till early tuesday morning. Lets play!!!
Says the 2 guys with a 1-2 hour drive. Some of us have $600 Airbnb’s, $500 passenger van rentals, and 9 hours
As of 11:00 AM Tropical Storm force Winds (39 mph) are expected to hit the Orlando area on Sunday at 8:00 am, and only intensify after that. The eye of the storm is not what I'm afraid of and that is what is expected to reach Orlando around 8:00 am Tuesday.
Fun event. Will be back every year!
