Hey Jason, you on this sign up snafu?

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:09am

what snafu?

Paula Landry   March 15, 2023 at 1:10am

It’s been saying online reg full since it opened

Bryan Pyle   March 15, 2023 at 1:10am

Yes. That one.

Paula Landry   March 15, 2023 at 1:11am

I can’t sign up til tomorrow but it wouldn’t let me sign up if I could today

Grant Kadansky   March 15, 2023 at 1:12am

There were only 32 spots available for tiered reg and they did fill instantly, at least 50% had to be reserved for general registration tomorrow.

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:13am

Grant is correct. Per PDGA rules, no more than 33% of the total field and no more than 50% of any division may register early. At least 66% of the total field must be reserved for the general public with no prerequisite. The event is not FULL. Only the 33% is full. There is still 66% of the total sp ... more

Paula Landry   March 15, 2023 at 1:13am

Oh I thought it would be split up per division. That’s kinda silly.

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:14am

So there is no snafu. The available spots were simply taken quickly.

Grant Kadansky   March 15, 2023 at 1:15am

I'm assuming there might be a snafu that created a waitlist though lol

the system somehow added two people to the waitlist despite it not being turned on. Those people have been refunded their entry.

Matt Bentley   March 15, 2023 at 1:17am

I also noticed there are players registered for MA2 that don't meet rating requirements. Does that mean those who do and are on waitlist get those spots?

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:24am

Matt Bentley, the players you speak of likely purchased a hole sponsorship that allowed them to move to the front of the line and be guaranteed entry

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:26am

Im not sure what your question is Zack, but the way registration was built for this event followed the PDGA guideline explicity. At least 50% of every division is reserved for the public registration period that opens tomorrow night, and the remainder of the reserved spots protect the rest of the 66% of the field that must be available to the general public.

Scott M   March 15, 2023 at 1:27am

I am waitlist #5, first for Ma1. Does that mean I will automatically get one of the first reserved spots when it opens tomorrow? Or am I going to need faster fingers on the keyboard tomorrow?

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:29am

Scott M, there is noone on the waitlist at this point. The waitlist will open tomorrow night at 8pm along with Open Registration

Jason Wilder   March 15, 2023 at 1:29am

You will not be automatically registered and yes, warm up those fingers
