Erik Furze Forgot to ask today. Can pull carts be used at Finnon or should I bag it? Aug 29, 2020
Chris Impens Aug 30, 2020 Hi Erik. Finnon is not cart friendly. I'm using A backpack tomorrow.

Chris Blandford Will Caddies be allowed? Aug 28, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 28, 2020 I have not seen any restriction on caddies. The player is responsible for his/her caddy, and distancing requirements must be followed.
Cliff Brison Thank you to those who have promptly checked in. Don't forget to carpool to Finnon as much as is reasonable as parking is limited. I did not mention in the email, and would like to reiterate. Aug 28, 2020
Lanetha Cassaro Aug 28, 2020 Wait..are we supposed to check in now or Saturday morning when we get to the course? I'm confused, lol
Roger Vartabedian Aug 28, 2020 You should have received an email and you can virtually check in by following the instructions in the email
Cliff Brison Aug 28, 2020 Thanks Roger. Thanks for your check-in Lanetha.

Dale Bowman Jr I want to make sure I’m not missing them, Hole assignments have not been posted on PDGA.com or DiscgolfScene yet correct? Aug 27, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 28, 2020 Hole assignments are one of my remaining tasks.
Chris Impens Casual Relief for poison oak or black berry bushes? Aug 27, 2020
Chris Impens Aug 28, 2020 I know the rule but it's something that ALWAYS comes up. That's why I'm wearing long pants.
J Bone Hey Cliff you can take me off the waitlist. Thanks Aug 26, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 26, 2020 I promoted you from the waitlist one week back. What would you like to do?
Richard Grube What is the rule regarding face coverings this weekend? Aug 25, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 26, 2020 Please see the "Pictures" tab here on the tournament page. Distancing yourself guidelines are in place.

Chris Impens Your map shows hope 27 in a different location than where I played it 2 days ago. It had no fairway and disc eating berry bushes. Will there be a new temp location? Aug 22, 2020

Chris Impens Are there going to be some portable toilets? I was there today and all I saw were some scary outhouse that weren't maintained. No TP! Aug 21, 2020
Adam Pelayo “AP” Aug 21, 2020 Use your discs
Cliff Brison Aug 22, 2020
Unfortunately, the bathroom in the campground is not for our use, even when we tee off near there. ... show more ›
Mike Berry Aug 22, 2020 Thanks for the update! I’ll have to inquire if day use fee normally covers restrooms in the future.
Cliff Brison
We're clear to promote more players from the waitlist beyond the current cap. PARKING is the limiting factor at Finnon on Sunday. If you can safely and comfortably carpool to Finnon, please do so. ... show more ›

Adam Pelayo “AP” Aug 19, 2020 I would like 100% cash back refund and drop out if it is still possible please.
Cliff Brison Aug 20, 2020 Processed.
Adam Pelayo “AP” Aug 21, 2020 Thanks Cliff, stay safe.
Tyler Bruce Hey, I need a refund. Wanted to play but seeing how far down on the waitlist and how unlikely it is I’ll get in I decided to withdrawal now. Thank you. Too bad everyone who wants to play can’t. Maybe I’ll get in and be able to participate next year... keep on playing! Aug 13, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 15, 2020 Refunded.
David Madruga Quick question? Are you going straight off the wait list of are you equally going through the divisions based off the wait list? Asking for a friend Aug 4, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 10, 2020 Waitlist is moving per pool. A Pool separate from B Pool, Juniors separate from the rest and being brought in.
Chris Van Loon Please ignore my refund request , I've fixed my schedule. Sorry for the hassle. Thanks again Clifton... Aug 3, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 10, 2020 Ignored. Good thing I've been without internet...
Chris Van Loon I would like to be refunded for myself and Saul Flores. Both were paid on my card. Thanks Clifton Aug 2, 2020
Cliff Brison Adrian Herrera attempted to register Thursday August 23, but was unsuccessful because of a problem that was solved quickly on our side of reg. I was notified, have thoroughly investigated, and have identified his proper location on the waitlist. I am placing him there now. Aug 2, 2020

Chris Impens Aug 6, 2020 Will there be tee times at Finnon?
Cliff Brison Aug 10, 2020 Tee times at Finnon are not the current plan, but are not out of the question. If we move to tee times, I will announce.
Roger Vartabedian Aug 17, 2020 Tee times at Finnon would be awesome.
Trent Somerville I tried to withdraw earlier but things might still be okay actually so if you could just ignore the request that'd be awesome! Jul 31, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 1, 2020 Request ignored.
Mike Griffith Cliff, I signed up Mike Wilson and accidentally used my name, so I'm listed twice. Please change the Mike Griffith with PDGA number 22864 to Mike Wilson Jul 29, 2020
Cliff Brison Aug 1, 2020 Revised, thank you.
Cliff Brison As mentioned previously, I will be making some changes. The first action I'm taking is to remove offerings for the divisions with no registrants: FPO, FP40, MP60. Further updates to follow. Jul 29, 2020
John Johnson is lions park cart friendly? Jul 26, 2020
Cliff Brison Jul 26, 2020 You definitely don't want a cart at Lions.
Mike Griffith Jul 26, 2020 Finnon probably not cart friendly either. Somerset is ok
Cliff Brison
Announcement: A & B Pools have had an opportunity to take shape; I'm planning on migrating a B Pool division to the A Pool to promote waitlisted players. In doing so, I will be removing offerings fo ... show more ›

Cliff Brison Aug 10, 2020 For clarification, I have made changes, but have not moved any B Pool divisions to A Pool.
Richard Grube Two questions about the schedule:
1. The schedule says Finnon on the 23rd. Are we playing a round at Finnon that day?
2. The 29th has everyone playing 3 rounds in one day. Is that a mistake, because we obviously cannot be in two places at once. Jul 21, 2020
Cliff Brison Jul 21, 2020
1) The 23rd was an error on my part. Amended to Finnon on Sunday the 30th. 2) Though it looks like ... show more ›
Richard Grube Jul 21, 2020 You might want to delete Finnon from the 29th. It will be less confusing. Confused me for a sec. :)
Cliff Brison Jul 22, 2020 Got it. Thank you.
Cliff Brison Event schedule is posted on the 'About' tab above. Please be advised: any schedule and/or Pool item may be subject to change. Please be aware of any future updates. Jul 21, 2020
Chris Van Loon When will we know schedule , for hotel purposes Jul 20, 2020
Cliff Brison Jul 21, 2020 Thank you Chris. See the schedule posted on the 'About' tab.
Cliff Brison The B Pool is full (Am divisions). I am holding overflow spots for the two Am Womens' divisions to populate with competitors. Plenty of A Pool (Pro divisions) spots are available at this time. Jul 18, 2020
Lanetha Cassaro Jul 22, 2020 Sweet! Hopefully I can get in!
"Philly" Jeff Aldinger First timer question, is this tourney played at one or two courses? If so, with course(s) are we playing on? Jul 17, 2020
