Thank you so much
Matt Warnement September 16, 2021 at 11:05pm
So I am an 18 year old just started disc golf last year I am #3 on the waitlist as of right now could u explain what I need to do after I get in or if I do. this will be my first ever tournament so I want to get the feel of things so I don’t mess anything up when I get in

I just played the course, and it looks really good. I especially liked that the downed trees got cleaned up on hole 14... I was actually able to get a par on it because of it! I saw clean up on a lot of other problem areas as well. Good job to the clean up crew!

In the Prarie grass left on hole 1, surrounded by water on hole 2, on or over any roads. Sidewalks are in bounds. There will be a sheet given out at the players meeting

In the event that people drop day-of, can waitlisters still show up?

I won't promise you'll be able to play, but you can certainly try!
Tony Accordino September 15, 2021 at 11:22pm
Unfortunately had to submit my withdrawal due to scheduling issue. I am extremely bummed but hope all goes well for the tourney!
Nathaniel Williams September 13, 2021 at 9:54pm

The event is a shotgun start at 9:05 for the first round.
Logan Stockton September 12, 2021 at 6:00pm
The short tee for hole 6 doesn’t have a whole lot of room for a run up due to the foliage on the right. Is 6’s short tee going to be adjusted at all come tournament day?
Thanks!
Joseph Schank

Yes it will be adjusted, the tee will basically be in the middle of the fairway. Directly next to where it is at now.
Eric Fleet September 4, 2021 at 9:06pm
I stopped by for a practice round and looked for anything indicating where 9a and 9b were but saw nothing. When will we be able to see what we are up against on these two holes?

Currently I am not allowed to leave markings on the course. There is a map on Udisc that will give you the general idea of the two holes, on the Friday before the tournament there will be a free doubles event for everyone to get acclimated to the course. More details about the entire event will go out in an email on Wednesday.

What’s the likelihood that I’m able to get in at WL #20??
Joseph Schank
September 3, 2021 at 1:01am
Honestly not too likely, with the tournament getting closer and closer less people are going to be dropping. It isn't impossible, but I would say highly unlikely.
Sam Rath August 17, 2021 at 2:39pm
When will we have photos/be able to practice the temporary holes?
Joseph Schank
August 17, 2021 at 3:09pm
They will be on Udisc by the end of the week. Photos then as well and possibly a league night the Friday before depending on the schools decision.

If there ends up being a league night that Friday will it be announced on this page?
Joseph Schank
September 5, 2021 at 1:48am
There will be, and yes it'll be announced on here and through email
Colton Stoops August 14, 2021 at 9:06pm
Sadly, I am going to be submitting my refund request. Have a good round guys!
Logan Georskey August 14, 2021 at 6:31pm
Any timeline on when the OB map will be released? Tournaments coming up quick
Joseph Schank
August 15, 2021 at 12:20am
Monday afternoon is the expected OB sheet with the added temp holes.
Shawn Daum July 31, 2021 at 5:50am
Just curious the chance of getting in as the #2 on the wait list?
Stephen mihaly Joseph Schank
July 31, 2021 at 12:36pm
A pretty high chance, normally 8-12 on the wait list gets in. I'm talking to the campus to put in an extra hole or two to fit more people as well.
Ryan Flanagan July 31, 2021 at 3:04am
Trying to register but not working. Stranger dab needs in
Joseph Schank

Try again now, if that doesn't work just leave your PDGA and your division and I'll put you in.
Sam Rath July 14, 2021 at 1:35am
Any chance the Junior divisions could be 18 and under. It might open up the Junior field a little more.
Logan Georskey June 29, 2021 at 12:02pm
Why not only have MA4 do short tees? New players who want to play long tees now has to sign up for MA2, which will likely not be suitable for their skill level.
Joseph Schank

Pace of play is going to be a problem at Kent. We will have spotters on 4, 5, 6 and 7. I'm sure there will be lots of scrambling and we need to keep groups moving to stop backups and cause issues for later cards.
James Waldron June 29, 2021 at 11:30am
When should we expect the map of updated OB lines? I wanted to practice scrambling on a few holes, but the front 9 is overgrown and thick with ticks/poison ivy.
Joseph Schank
June 30, 2021 at 10:41pm
Map coming in two weeks. The front 9 should be cut down soon through the school. I'll let everyone know when that gets done. 4-7 is an absolute forest.
Patrick Fortunato June 25, 2021 at 5:28pm
Are you still planning on everyone playing from the long tees or are the lower divisions going to play from the short tees?
Joseph Schank
June 25, 2021 at 5:43pm
MA4, MA3, FA4, FA3 and any Junior divisions will play from shorts.
Kenny Fogleman June 24, 2021 at 4:05pm
Any updates at all?
Joseph Schank
June 25, 2021 at 11:35am
It looks like September 18th is going to be the date it will be moved to. As I said, I don't want to update anyone before things are 100% set.
If you get promoted you'll get a link to pay your entry fee via PayPal. After that you'll show up at Check-in anywhere from 8-8:45am on Saturday. Everything will be explained in the players meeting from there.
