Nice. I guess you have to be in a car accident. I asked for a refund on May 2nd, but didn't say why and didn't get one. And then got a player's pack with one GStar ROC. I'm glad that I could help finance your event.

We typically allocate division caps in order to better plan for the event. Using multiple courses the divisions that have "leftover" cap space don't always align with the divisions/courses that have extra people. When a division is under-registered by a full card we move those spots to a different division. This just happened with the Intermediates who were just allocated another 5 spots last week.

Thanks for pointing that out Luke. I verified the Waitlist on DiscGolfScene for the 2016 Jim Widdick Memorial is $5. This must be a new feature on DiscGolfScene, as we have been using this website for several years now, and it always full payment for Waitlist, no other option, so this must be new. I imagine like the other sites it will be non-refundable should you not get in. With the current full payment WL we have for 2016 Orlnado Open, if you are on the WL & don't get in you get full refund of your entry fee, minus DGScene processing fee (like $2). We woudl not be fair to change how this is setup at this point, if even possible, but we will make note to look for the $5 WL fee on our next event. The biggest advantage to the full pay WL is when someone drops, then the next is automatically promoted in, vs having to contact them and have them pay the remaining balance before getting in, giving them 24hr notice, trying to reach them, then contacting the next guy, etc... Cheers, Bill

Thanks Bill, that makes sense. If I am first on wait list for intermediate would I get spot if someone from that division dropped or would that just open spot for next person on wait list regardless of division?

Good question John. The Waitlist system on DGScene is super easy, so the Waitlist is dynamic, so it will change over time. In order for someone to drop, they contact me (TD), and as soon as I drop them the next Waitlist for that division gets promoted and automatically notifiied they are in. Plus I also call them to confirm, so you will see things change as we get closer. Additionally, as we get closer, I can adjust Division caps depending on Supply & Demand which can also affect Waitlist. Life happens.

Absolutely, the players pack will be valued at more than the registration fee. As a heads up, most amateur divisions will be making the conversion over to trophy only in the coming years and events. It will work up the ranks from Rc to Intermediate and so on. Although, players packs will also get better allowing all participants to benefit.

Thanks Mark for the timely response. Also many thanks to you, Bill, and Daryl for all the work you do with the Orlando tournaments. I like that the Orlando Open is now 4 rounds (the more disc golf, the better), but I know it also means more work for all involved in running the tourney.
