Will you be posting all CTP results anywhere?

Chris Clark   December 4, 2023 at 2:41pm

Good call Mike! I posted them and the aces in the Pictures section. Two things to note. One CTP was advanced by a player who thought he had paid in, but hadn't. Nothing I can do about this. CTP goes unpaid. I rounded the ace pot to $1,200 from $1,095 thinking I had 6 paid aces, paid each o ... more

Thanks for a great tourney--you all rock

Cindy Taylor    November 30, 2023 at 2:40pm

Hey Chris not sure if this was addressed or not but does the ladies have their own layout and rating or is it all the same ratings with men

Nice catch Alecia.

Cindy Taylor   December 1, 2023 at 12:28am

Thank you

Chris Clark   December 1, 2023 at 2:32am

Yes. Ladies play hole 5 at Jonesville and hole 11 at Northside as Par 4’s. You can thank the O-Town Girls for suggesting a separate layout to us three years ago which we implemented last year.

Pam(ouflage) Reineke    November 29, 2023 at 7:07pm

Does FPO play long/long/long at same time as all the other MPO, MP40 and MP50. I couldn’t find pool assignments.

Just saw this. I assume you saw the tee times by now and that answered your question.

Pam(ouflage) Reineke   November 30, 2023 at 11:42am

Haha. Yes. Thanks Chris

Marshall O    November 29, 2023 at 5:28am

Will we get an email with tee times? Or will they be listed elsewhere? Thanks!!

Tee times are normally posted the night before and I'm sure will be on the PDGA Event page: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/65001

I can understand but ma1 when your number 2 on the waitlist it's a whole week anything can happen if three or four people drop out the second person on the waitlist should be able to play

Chris Clark   November 27, 2023 at 10:28pm

James, I have actually sent out a couple emails to everyone playing and on the waitlist indicating the procedure for registration closing. Anyone who hasn’t made it in by that point won’t get in regardless of how many drop during this week. I don’t allow week of entries. I have too ... more

James Vivirito    November 27, 2023 at 5:54pm

Good afternoon whoever is in charge of this tournament I'd like to know why the waitlist is gone and I got my money back just because the tournament registration closed doesn't mean that you close down the waitlist there's still a week left and a lot can happen I don't know why I got my money back so early. can I have somebody explain to me this please.

Alan Schutte   November 27, 2023 at 6:06pm

There is 273/264 registered. Looks like the TD allowed as many players as he could in with the expectation of a few drops during the week prior to the CHO.

Zach Cole   November 27, 2023 at 8:26pm

It’s pretty common practice to lock things in when registration closes. An event as big as this takes time to get everything in place. Cards and tee times and such. As a TD myself I do the same thing typically 72 hours out from the start of the event. And that’s for a smaller b tier

Charles Franklin    November 23, 2023 at 2:48am

again with the waitlist. I could have avoided these questions if I signed up early. So the waitlist has multiple #1, 2, and 3. Since each person gets in as one leaves regardless of division, how is it determined which #1, 2, or 3 gets in next? Yeah, I'd like to get in so I'm trying to figure it out. Thanks!

Zach Cole   November 23, 2023 at 3:10am

The number updates automatically bumping people higher up the list as the person above them gets in. Right now you’re number 3 on the B pool. If someone in one of the AM divisions drop, the current #1 will be promoted off the waitlist and everyone will move up one spot. You will then be #2 on ... more

Zach Cole   November 23, 2023 at 3:11am

Being #3 I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. I was #22 on the A pool a few weeks ago and just got in

Charles Franklin   November 23, 2023 at 12:43pm

Great, thnx

Charles Franklin    November 18, 2023 at 10:48pm

wouldn't that be great if the registration opened up? Lots of people on the waiting list. Whats the chances of that happening?

Kathy Hudson    November 17, 2023 at 12:30am

Thinking I can move to FP 50 with Kathy Hardyman. This means 2 in that division and 2 in FA 40. Will that work?

Permalink
Chris Clark   November 17, 2023 at 12:55am

I don’t want any divisions with less than three. FP50 is already closing. I’m willing to wait a little longer on FA40 as we have someone on the waitlist.

Kyle Forson    November 16, 2023 at 4:13pm

Can I please move from MA4 to MA3?

Permalink
Chris Clark   November 16, 2023 at 4:38pm

Yessir. Feel free to relocate yourself.

Chris Clark   November 16, 2023 at 11:57pm

Moved you.

Charles Franklin    November 15, 2023 at 6:28pm

Waitlist is confusing to this guy. I'm currently #12 on the waitlist with three others in MA3. There are three people before me in that division which is fine, but do I have to wait for three people in this division to drop out? Or wait for 11 people in the tournament to drop out?

Permalink
Chris Clark   November 15, 2023 at 6:36pm

Anyone drops and the first person goes in. Regardless of division. You'll have ot wait for 12 others to drop before you could get in assuming nothing else changes.

Jennifer Smiley    November 12, 2023 at 11:10pm

Hi! I'm wondering do you know how likely it is that I'll be able to get into the tournament off the waitlist? I'm currently 12th on the waitlist.

Permalink
Chris Clark   November 13, 2023 at 3:22am

Hard to say. 20 have dropped in the last week. I’ll email all the players and waitlisted players tomorrow. For some reason the first email regarding the event always sparks several drops every year.

Jennifer Smiley   November 15, 2023 at 10:01pm

Ok, thank you! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Marshall O    November 12, 2023 at 8:10am

Hey! What date will tee times be posed?
Thanks!!

Chris Clark   November 12, 2023 at 1:17pm

Wednesday evening the week of the event more than likely.

Marshall O   November 14, 2023 at 8:38pm

Cool, thanks!!

Juan Pellot    November 11, 2023 at 9:34pm

Have to withdraw due to work. Please refund

ANDREW S PARSONS    November 8, 2023 at 4:56pm

I'm about to withdraw from MA4. Good luck! Wish I could be there!

William Palm    November 7, 2023 at 11:53pm

I'm currently on the waitlist for MA2 could you move me up to MA1? Also, would that affect my spot on the waitlist?

Permalink
Chris Clark   November 8, 2023 at 12:07am

I can relocate you to the other waitlist. I would move you based on your registration time compared to the others on that list. You would end up further down the list behind Jennifer Smiley.

William Palm   November 8, 2023 at 2:07am

I'm just gonna stay in MA2. Thanks for getting back to me!

Robin Licitra    October 22, 2023 at 1:50pm

Was wondering if I can move to FA50 without going on the waitlist. If not I'll just stay where I am in FA55. Do not want waitlist

Permalink
Chris Clark   October 23, 2023 at 1:44pm

Robin, you can move yourself to that division without going on the waitlist.

Cindy Taylor    October 22, 2023 at 1:47pm

Hi Chris. If we change division now will we be put on the wait list. I need to change division to FA 3

Chris Clark   October 22, 2023 at 3:21pm

No. You’ll be fine.

Chris Clark   October 22, 2023 at 3:23pm

I moved you.

Kathy “Katnip” Hardyman    October 20, 2023 at 2:09pm

Do you have the pools info for divisions?

It’s at the top of the players page.

Ken Bess   October 20, 2023 at 4:39pm

Chris Clark it is at the top of the players page, but says pool B & pool C, however the schedule has no Pool C, it has Pool A at Northside on Friday and Pool B at Jonesville on Friday, so it may be causing some confusion.

Chris Clark   October 23, 2023 at 1:38pm

Good catch Ken! I fixed it. A and B pools. C became A. Matches the schedule.
