Uncle Fester: Looking at the layouts, and just played the Wood

Looking at the layouts, and just played the Woods course first time yesterday (I love it btw!). But it's tight, plenty of times people will be looking for discs. My concern is that AM's play Woods twice, the least advanced players, and there are 104 players currently. That is an average of 5.7 players per card!! To me, that screams a terribly slow round, and we play Woods twice. Just a thought here, would it not make more sense having Am's playing OG where there are far fewer lost disc opportunities, and much more space to support the 120 competitors? Meanwhile Pro divisions have only 27 competitors. That is only 1.5 players per card (if split between 18 holes). Just doing the math, because this is not mathing! LOL!

hmmm I see in two places it says "Pros play OG twice" and one place it says "Pros/MA1". If that is true, that adjusts by 11 competitors in MA1, making is 37 players in "Pool A" (Pros), let's call it, and 93 players in "Pool B" (Am's). 93 players over 18 holes is still 5.1 average per hole, so does not really move the marker much at all.

Chace McMichael May 26 Pros/ma1 play the same course at the same time. Only 90 ams will be on a course

Uncle Fester May 26 There are 94 AM, not counting MA1. Again that makes 5.2 players per card.

Michael Harrison May 26 MA 1 and Pro divisions need to be signified as pool A with 90 available and all other divisions pool B with 90 available to keep it 90 on each course.

Chace McMichael May 26 Again there will only be 90 ams or less on a course. We will make the adjustments when registration closes.

Michael Harrison May 26 gotcha ty

Looking at the listing, it permits up to 120 in AM pool, there’s already more than 90 without counting MA1. Maybe I’m not understanding something, but ate people going to be kicked out to reduce the pool to 90? Lol!

Chace McMichael May 26 I added caps to the divisions and we will be adding MA40/MA50 to A pool. Info should be updated

Uncle Fester May 27 Got it, and thank you!!

Chace McMichael May 27 No worries
