I will always do my best to make sure a tournament runs as smoothly as possible. Though sometimes my choices and decisions can confuse people, or lead to them questioning why I have done things a certain way.
I moved the tee order away from the 'traditional' order for Copper Ridge for the benefit of course flow and to avoid backups at all costs. It's a mountain course and there are some new long holes and I have a feeling for some divisons it will play a little on the slow side, so it did not make sense to put them on the course first infront of divisions that gernally play more quickly.
For Sunday at McArthur that isn't much of a concern, the course plays about the same speed for everyone. Though tee times are never really final until the night before, I had decided I was going to revert back to a more traditional order for that day. I had assumed that nobody would mind because it's a new day in a new city on a new course. Unfortunately that is not the case and there has been some push back on this. While I really don't like changing things Sunday is still a week away so I will make the change now.
Sunday will retain the tee order per division as it is on Friday and Saturday, though the times at McArthur will start a little earlier in the morning. I am hoping that this pleases the most amount of people.
On the upside it means that FPO will tee last, and they will have the honour to close out the tournament which is usually reserved for MPO, so that's a nice change!
Once again, sorry for any confusion. You will not see any more changes coming outside of very small adjustments by a few minutes here and there due to players dropping from the event etc.
Honestly, I would not have signed up if I knew how late the tee times were going to be, especially coming out of town.. I was really counting on an earlier tee time.
