Fade straps have a one year warranty contact fade they exchange them at no cost... No worries

Reading these posts I can't help but think: there's feedback and then there's "feedback." It's hard to read such biting comments in a public forum. I enjoyed DGLO and was treated so well I didn't realize so many players weren't. I've been in tournaments that didn't have women's trophies because there weren't enough females registered to warrant them and that's a bummer on both counts. I've never run a tournament and can only imagine all the work it takes. Thank you to everyone who volunteered a ... more

Your efforts are appreciated and if you can dust yourselves off and come back next year I'll be there too. I'm sorry for those of you who had such a bad time.

Whiteboard problems do need to be addressed, if you went to the airport and you plane had left without you and all you did was follow the schedule wouldn't you be pissed off..... I sure would......Keep it simple and stick to the plan.

Needing to vent: 2010 DGLO was sweet -> player pack sweet, round '2' round time good, over all weekend great. 2011 DGLO just didn't seem like an event for me. I considered the players pack, cost, time, lodging, etc. and it didn't seem worth it to me. I've read all the posts, and while being relieved that I chose correct not to play, I have personally talked to more than one person who did have a enjoyable time. I don't know if the same staff crew were running both DGLO events or not. The 201 ... more

I've read all the posts, and while being relieved that I chose correct not to play, I have personally talked to more than one person who did have a enjoyable time. I don't know if the same staff crew were running both DGLO events or not. The 2010 DGLO seemed to go off without a serious hitch. While it seems like 2011 DGLO did have a few problems, unless everyone who is b*tch*ng has run an event, stop with the crying. $$$ Payout related: If A3 didn't meet the necessary requirements, by all means bring this up in a constructive manner, (PRO's if your cash was short => Handle your business) Am's got a players pack that was worth the cost of admission. $$$. I have seen the women's divisions receive trophies from other A3 events. I have played many other A3 events and had a great time. Everyone on D.G.S. can see all the available clubs, leagues, and events that are up coming, choose wisely and stick by your decision. Ranting at one person (TD, Club President) will not change or correct any event that happened, MAN UP. If you play any league, event, whatever realize not every person can be satisfied, and if you choose to pay and attend, and had a bad time, it doesn't seem entirely fair to blame those running the event for your personal experience.

really really realllllly don't want to get involved in a debate here, but i couldn't resist saying thus: I had a fantastic time at DGLO this year. I played in 2009, had a fantastic time, had to skip 2010, and already by 2011 i was surprised at how much it had grown. for everyone who didn't have a good time or think it was worth it: now you know, i guess, for next year. i'm sure your suggestions and recollections of a better time are appreciated, but the fact that it's turned into a complete bit ... more

Trophys cannot be made for divisions that don’t pre-register early enough or with enough people in them. These trophies are expensive to make and time consuming. We do not attempt to make money on the trophies just cover the cost for DGLO or any of our events. There were only 1st place trophies for AM1, AM4, 1st and 2nd for AM2, AM3.

There were only 1st place trophies for AM1, AM4, 1st and 2nd for AM2, AM3.
For the people who wonder why the small divisions (WOMEN in particular) did not get trophies. There were 7 women registered in 4 different divisions who should get a trophy there? If you give them one what about MM1 (8 Players) or MG1 (4 players)??

We at A3 (and I personally as well) support women at our events or any disc golf event, look at women’s payouts carefully!! Every Women got paid out, EVERY ONE!!! This was not done at the expense of any other division! The payouts were not lowered for the winners of any women division either. We were the first club in the state to run a women’s only tournament! Do not tell me we or I do not support women in disc golf.

The minimum % of payouts to a field is met by the player pack to 100% of the AM field.

We have no control on how this website works or control what it does. We cannot log the aces for the Green course sorry. We do not determine the hot rounds the site does.
Contact the sites help desk I guess.

DGLO was great, as always. I keep hoping to see more women at tournaments and that's something we hope to see in the future. Thanks to all of you who organized and coordinated and ran the event; it's not an easy job. Already I am looking forward to next year!

William Gilbert    August 9, 2011 at 10:27pm

Thanks for the thanks all.
sorry for the unhappy people.
6 aces in the event could not log the green course aces as it won't accept the holes i pick.
Marty Peters Original E
R Hyten Original 17 nice ace on this hole
Andrew Kaluk Green 4
B Miller Green Hole 2 this is a awesome ace
Luke Holtzapple Green 18 island hole
Mike Boyd Monster 5

William Gilbert    August 9, 2011 at 10:13pm

Sorry for your inconvienance.

i thought these types of things were supposed to be about having fun? from the majority of the messages that have been written it sounds like everyone had a shit time. i personally had a great time even though i shot mediocre. the only problem i had was with the lead pro card. i watched their last 3 holes and after raley missed his par putt on 18 i saw him shake the hands of the two guys he beat but not the guy who beat him. thats some bullshit sportsmanship. i at least had the courtisy to tell ... more
