It has been known for over a decade in the Grand Rapids disc golf scene that any Ann Arbor tournament has really odd payouts. My uncle (of which im sure some of you know) stopped going to said tournaments years ago for this very reason. Oh and Mike, the old 5$ pizza at half time of a tournament is always garbage, what were you expecting, deep dish chicago style supreme pizza lol?

Mike or whoever you are. If you are really that hard up for the cash i will give the $45 I got for last cash to you. It's people like you that's stopping this sport from getting to the next level. If you are a so called pro start acting like one. Discgolf. Is not going to pay the bills. Ps tourney was great I could really care less if I get something or not.

If there is one thing I've learned from throwing events, designing courses and playing in tournaments, it's that you can't please everyone. No matter what your intentions are, someone always has some criticism. And criticism can be good if it is presented in a way that can foster change and growth.

I appreciate that fact that Mike, and apparently a lot of others, had concerns about Saturday. Its a shame that other people didn't feel like they could approach me with their concerns on how the event was run and hid behind Mike. I may have disagreed with how Mike went about expressing his feelings, but I am not trying to deny that Loco wasn't perfect. For fucks sake, we ran a 133 person B Tier with TWO people. It wasn't easy.

I personally spent close to 100 hours in creating artwork, logistical planning, throwing fundraisers, collecting sponsorships, getting the courses marked, pre regging people, running the event, etc etc etc. And I wouldn't have done any of it if I didn't love the sport of disc golf and the local community that makes this a great area to play.

Its just frustrating when you put so much into something and get few thanks and so much negative criticism. The 101 is all about throwing fun events. If you didn't have fun, then I failed and thats on me. If you did have a good time, then I am glad.

You pay attention now because you're cashing in higher spots not because you learned to watch how events paid out. It's as simple as that. If you want respect and big rewards for playing a sport well you picked the wrong one Mike. You will never get a big reward for throwing a disc into a basket. Accept that and you will be far better off. Also look at it this way, some guy takes last cash in open at loco but usually doesn't play that division. He now is more likely to play pro and donate more.money to you in the long run. If you didn't live in the here and now and thought about future income you would see that having a few events pay deep into the field is a plus in the long run for players of you're caliber.

As far as respect goes, you don't deserve any foreign good at throwing a disc. None. You get respect by showing it amd acting like a Fucking adult. Beating a person who worked his ass of to give you the opportunity to play a meaningless sport for decent sums of cash is acting like a child. Act your age. You should.be thankful for people like 101 who support disc golf. They do things to promote the sport unlike someone I know. The southeast Michigan disc golf.scene would be the same without you but not without them. Show some respect to the people making disc golf possible and you will get respect in return. It's a fairly simple concept

For starters.....This is Disc Golf. I love the game, support the game, and I am actively promoting the sport to anyone that will listen for over a decade. With that being said.....Are we seriously going to whine about what lunch was served and how many people/percentage were paid out? Seriously!?!?!?!?! I would understand and maybe be a little more tolerant if you guys were getting paid out like the PGA, and the top purse was $4.8 Million. But it's not, we don't play this sport to pay our mortgages, support our families and pay our insurance premiums. So crying and whining about a payout structure that isn't even going to cover filling your gas tank it fucking stupid and counterproductive. These guys are giving players a pretty fair shot at winning a decent chunk of change, all while having a fun day bullshitting with local players & having a good 'ol time. Let me know when the Top Tier players are walking away from a 4 Day Tournament and making millions just from the purse. Oh, and let me know when the Pro DG players get that $1.2 Billion deal from Nike with their personal logo on every Nike disc, bag, shirt, shoe and hat. Until that day actually comes, this argument is moot. As for lunch....Be glad the 101 even provided a lunch for you. Next year, bring your own damn lunch. Do some work in he AM when get outta bed and make a few peanut-butter jelly sandwiches. Grab a banana, a Mt. Dew, and throw them into the old brown bag (yes, they still sell them at all local grocery stores).

On a more positive note......Saw the photos of all the garbage & cigarette butts that were collected. Very impressive guys!!!! Cheers to all the players that helped clean the course that day. I am serious, Chuck D looks great! I was very, very impressed with the condition of the course, the mini-bridges that were installed, and a major beef up in wood chips. With a tiny amount of man power, you guys sure did a phenomenal job cleaning up that course and besides this piddly grumbling, sounds like I missed a great tourney.

Mike, besides trying to make Fortch never want to TD a tournament again, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Your point about payouts was a good one but now you are beating it like a dead horse. Everyone knows the pizza wasn't the greatest but I don't believe the club should be held responsible as previous food from the BeeLine was better. There is only so many people willing to volunteer their time to put on tournaments, I think positive reinforcement is more warranted here than this.

then don't show up next year you crybaby! last time you turned into a whiner because you added your scorecard wrong to bump you out of cash. i heard rumors of literal tears that you shed while trying to convince the TD to waive your penalty. the tears worked, your penalty was waived and you got to keep last cash instead of taking your penalty like a man, like most of us would have done. learn a lesson and take it like a man! no respect from you=no respect for you.

To address Mike's concerns I'd like to offer the fact that I did not take out the $3 per player fee for any of the 133 players from any division. So you can consider that to be another $402 added cash overall and another $93 added cash to the MPO purse. That was part of the reason that I decided to payout the MPOs using the 50% table instead of the 45% table.

If I were to have paid out the MPO division the White Mike recommended 45%, they would have been the following:

1. 460
2. 305
3. 225
4. 175
5. 145
6. 125
7. 105
8. 95
9. 85
10. 75
11. 70
12. 65
13. 60
14. 55

That means you would have made a whopping $15 dollars more if I had decided to use the 45% table and you probably would have made less that the $290 you did had I taken out the $3 per player fee that most TDs do.

Please show some respect. Personally, I don't think one of the best Pro players in the state sets a good example to other players, and especially younger players, by complaining about a $15 difference in payouts and making childish threats to the club who hosts the events. Sorry you got a cold pizza.

I didn't play in the Tourney, but I played both courses Sunday. Both courses looked GREAT. Joe is right, the amount of work that went into cleaning up the course and making in playable while holes were flooded out was insane. I didn't even play in the tourney and I really appreciate the work you guys did! You even had sponsor tags at each hole, which I thought was very cool too. You can't please everyone, so don't even bother trying, just keep up the great work

where is this right vs wrong thing coming from? you "should have" done it this way makes me laugh. anyone who wants to make their own rules "should" organize and run their own Btier. then you will be able to do it "the right way", the way it "should" be done. 101 does it differently- get used to it. 51% payout ain't bad given all the added cash. $45 entry and ricky gets ~10x his money back. the cleveland symphony orchestra's violin section is currently gathering in ricky's front yard preparing to play him a very sad song because they all feel very bad for him. the make-a-wish foundation has been notified.
