2020 Amateur Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open will be played at Deer Lakes and Knob Hill as planned!

Just got word from Marshall twp that we have been given the OK to use the course. Some restrictions will require a change from the usual plans for this event. Marshall twp is requiring players sign a covid waiver. They want them before the event so be on the lookout for that email soon. For those who haven't responded to my previous email about the PDGA waiver I need to have a response ASAP.

Some of the event changes:

MA1 and MA2 will play 2 rounds shotgun start at Deer Lakes on Saturday and 1 round with tee times on Sunday at Knob Hill. Tee times will start at 9am with cards of 4 players going off every 15 minutes.

All other divisions will play Knob Hill on Saturday with tee times starting around 9am with cards of 4 players going off every 15 minutes and then 2 rounds shot gun start at Deer Lakes on Sunday.

Unfortunately this means no final nine and the usual player party isn't going to be possible this year. Also no awards ceremony means that this event will be trophy only. 1st place trophies will still be the Innova discatchers as promised. 2nd and 3rd place in all divisions will also receive trophies. With that being said the player packs will be revised. I'll be adding more items to them and will update everyone next week what will be in the new player packs.

Some good news is with the use of tee times for one of the days I've decided to add 8 spots to both A and B pool. The deer lakes rounds will have 2 ghost cards which will allow 80 players per pool. I have done this in the past for The Hunt and it went well.

All of this has meant a lot more work for me but I promise each and everyone of you the best AM PFDO experience possible.
