Couple of pre-tournament questions...we are super new at the sport, only ever finished maybe one full round without getting tired, etc. Do you get paired with randome players in multiple divisions or do you get to play with the people you registered with? Also, does everyone make round 2 or is there a round 1 cut? Finally, will other players be mad at very new players who take a lot of shots each hole? LOL. I may have been over zealous signing us up for a tournament this early but everyone is always so nice and seems so fun!
The groupings are somewhat random for the 1st round. We mix divisions and you get to meet new people with different levels of play.
The 2nd round will be set according to the divisions and the leaderboard. You play with people that are scoring similar to you from the first round. All players play two rounds for this tournament, there are no cuts.
Most disc golfers I ahve met over the past 8 years have no problem waiting for players that need to take lots of shots. As long as you follow the PDGA rule of throwing within 30 seconds of arriving at your lie.
Tournaments are fun, can't wait for you to experience it.
I agree with Brandon. Tourneys are a bunch of fun. My first was at Doc in January and my cardmates were awesome as I navigated my anxiety of throwing shots under pressure and trying not to hold up the card. The only person that rushed me all day was myself.
