Patrick Van Hoecke If we are unable to get to the Granada by 5pm on Tuesday the 10th how should we check in and get players pack? Thanks! Jul 9, 2018

Dynamic Discs Jul 10, 2018 Will you be at the player meeting at 7PM?

Patrick Van Hoecke Jul 10, 2018 yes, should be.

Gavin Simpson Is it too late to sign up for the field events on 7/10?? Jul 7, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jul 7, 2018 yes, sorry, registration closed Monday morning.

Gavin Simpson Jul 7, 2018 No worries, we'll be practicing at a Jones course then I suppose. Those will be open for practice correct?

Dynamic Discs Jul 7, 2018 They wil!

Hans Merritt My son Cyrus #80424 unfortunately must withdraw from the tournament. He is signed up in 18 and under, also for several field events. I sent an email to Doug last week but never received any reply. Is it too late to receive a refund? I’m very sorry we will not be coming. Jul 6, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jul 6, 2018 OK, sorry to hear it. I'll take care of the refund. Thanks.

Dynamic Discs Jul 7, 2018 Hans - what email address did you use?

Erich Partee What is the app that is going to be used. The one for gbo was awesome Jul 3, 2018

Roy Lyons Are the Final nine numbers going to remain the same since none of the age groups filled up? Jul 3, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jul 3, 2018 An updated schedule with the registration numbers will be up later today, but the Final 9 numbers will remain the same.

Roy Lyons Jul 3, 2018 Thanks again, see you next week!

Roy Lyons Since there isn't a FJ Doubles Division, please withdraw Lydia Lyons from the doubles competition. Jul 3, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jul 3, 2018 OK, will do!

Roy Lyons Jul 3, 2018 Thank you! Sorry it didn’t work out.

Andrew Sweeton Jul 3, 2018 no worries

Daniel Eich I made a mistake and registered Emma eich pdga 110920 for boys 15 and under she is girls 15 and under Jul 3, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jul 3, 2018 OK, I'll take care of it!

Andrew Sweeton Another note: we have single teams in FJ18, FJ12, and MJ08. If we don't get additional teams in those divisions they will need to move divisions, anyone else interested in playing doubles? Please register prior to this Friday 6/29 and be sure that both you and your partner register. Thanks. Jun 24, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jun 26, 2018 "Split High/Low" - what does that mean?

Roy Lyons Jun 26, 2018 One from FJ18 and one from FJ12

Andrew Sweeton Jun 26, 2018 Oh, you mean split the teams up into two new FJ18 teams. In theory they could do that if they wished, but more likely they will move into the Mixed division.

Andrew Sweeton All - Carli Beith #85978 is looking for an FJ18 doubles partner as her original partner can't make it. Anyone interested? If so, please use the "Modify Registration" link in your registration confirmation email from Disc Golf Scene to add Divisional Doubles and make the $10 payment. Thanks. Jun 24, 2018

Roy Lyons Jun 26, 2018 Lydia Lyons is willing to play with her.

Andrew Sweeton Jun 26, 2018 OK great, but if we don't get another team, they will still need to move to MJ18.

Roy Lyons Jun 26, 2018 Something else will have to work out.

James McLaughlin Jun 22, 2018 Thanks Andrew -- I appreciate you breaking this down for me(us).

Andrew Sweeton Jun 22, 2018 The current age distribution by DOB for the Worlds dates is 5 players at age 12, 14 players at age 13, 24 players at age 14, and 9 players at 15. Average is 13.7

Dynamic Discs Jun 22, 2018 Thanks Andrew.

Rick Padilla I registered my son jayme Padilla in the junior 15 he is 12 and would like to be j12 can that be done and how do I do that? Jun 20, 2018

show 1 earlier comment

Rob Martin Jun 20, 2018 that uses dgscene.com, you would have received an email confirmation. In that confirmation, there may be a link where you can update the registration yourself.

Andrew Sweeton Jun 21, 2018 Rick - PDGA age goes by year of birth, not date of birth. Since Jayme turns 13 in 2018 he is no longer eligible to play in MJ12 for all of 2018 so he is registered correctly in MJ15. Thanks.

Rick Padilla Jun 22, 2018 Ok thanks for clearing that up for me,I told my son he's just going to have to step up his game and play his best

Jason Casper Will we be receiving a separate Caddy Book when we get there or will the course maps that we got act as our Caddy Book? Jun 15, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jun 15, 2018 Separate Caddybook and a phone app will be provided.

Harper Thompson Is the “final singles round” a round in which you must qualify to play? It is labeled as a “semifinal” round on the event schedule. Jun 15, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jun 15, 2018 Ah, that is a typo, great catch! The Saturday round is the final preliminary round of singles for everyone, the only cut is for the Saturday afternoon Finals.

Andrew Sweeton Jun 15, 2018 Event Schedule is now corrected, thanks for the heads up Harper!

Roy Lyons When is the cutoff for doubles and field event sign ups? Jun 12, 2018

Andrew Sweeton Jun 12, 2018 When registration closes on June 29th

Carlos Molina I contacted Doug Bjerkaas yesterday asking to withdraw Junior 15 Zachary Overholt PDGA #89627 but we corrected our travel issues and I was hoping to disregard voicemail I left him asking to withdraw. Could Zachary please remain registered? Thank you, Carlos Molina. Jun 11, 2018

Roy Lyons Any other Junior Girls going to play doubles on Sunday? Right now, it looks like there isn't even one full team. Two signed up with out partners. Jun 9, 2018

Evan Jones What day is doubles on? May 8, 2018

Andrew Sweeton May 8, 2018 The schedule was in the Invite Packet, see: https://www.pdga.com/files/2018_junior_worlds_course_schedule_v2.7.pdf

Roy Lyons Jun 12, 2018 So, does that mean the two singles in the 6 and under have to play up or compete against each other?

Andrew Sweeton Jun 12, 2018 Right, we are hoping some more kids register for those divisions.

Roy Lyons Will my daughter be able to sign up for field events or doubles on the day of the event? May 4, 2018

Andrew Sweeton May 4, 2018 Roy - there is a link in your confirmation email that says "Modify Registration for . . ."

Evan Jones Jun 28, 2018 I am trying to add my son to the field events and I don't see that link.

Evan Jones Jun 28, 2018 Never mind I figured it out

Giancarlo Anselmo According to the tentative schedule, the 12U division is only down to play 4 rounds? is this an oversight or will they only play 4 rounds? May 1, 2018

show 4 earlier comments

Roy Lyons May 4, 2018 Thanks, I see that in the fine print now. F/MJ15 & F/MJ18 play six rounds and the younger groups play four.

Andrew Sweeton May 5, 2018 I have passed this concern along to the TD and PDGA Course Reviewer for their consideration.

Andrew Sweeton May 15, 2018 FJ12 and MJ12 are now playing 5 rounds. See: https://www.pdga.com/2018juniorworlds/schedule/course

Dino R. Three words... provisional, provisional, provisional! Apr 30, 2018

Dino R. May 4, 2018 Ah yes! Love that one too! Luckily, in Iowa, there was plenty of water abound to be that grape.

Roy Lyons May 4, 2018 Last time in Emporia was a hot one!

Andrew Sweeton May 5, 2018 Yes it was. I was the PDGA Marshal at Peter Pan on the opening day of Singles play and it was 113 degrees.
