The Invites will be sent out in order:
The PDGA just sent out the top 40% of the current AM players. I am guessing by Wednesday, the invites will have been emailed to this list. The list of the top 40% will be posted here on the Scene.
Including the Memorial that just ended, all of the remaini ...

The top 40% above 935 ended up being a rating of 948 or higher. The initial list resulted in 631 player invites!
John Minicuci Sticky February 11 at 10:45pm
The Qualifiers list and the players who have qualified will be updated soon.
The above statement about invites being sent out should have said late February.
With the next PDGA Ratings Update scheduled for February 27, 2018, invites will be sent out shortly thereafter.
This gives all higher rated players time to renew their memberships and be included with the 1st batch of USADGC invited players.

We hope to have all the names posted and invites sent out by late Wednesday afternoon.

Will registration be postponed until the entire first round of invites is available? Thanks for your work John!

March 7 at 3:27am
You are welcome Nathan. No, we will not postpone registration. Last year the event filled twice. The morning of the event, we started the event with a field of 132 out of 144 players. The reason for this was last year I also processed over 40 refunds from last minute cancellations. This is why we set registration to open no earlier than 90 days before the event.

I was told I'd be mailed a shirt and rain jacket because they ran out of larges, is this still the case/who should I contact about this?
Thanks everyone for such a great tournament!

No worries John, just wanted to check back in. Thanks for all your hard work!

Hey John-- any update on the shirt and rain jackets? Great work to everyone at the DGLO, that was a great tournament to spectate!

Anyone in the Facebook Player Portal Page. I was attempting to close it down and I had to remove all members before doing so. During the process, I accidentally removed myself as Admin so I cannot complete that process. I advise you leave the group just to remove the clutter from your page.
John Minicuci June 4 at 7:17pm
All of the discs owners from the discs that were left on the L&F table have been contacted. If you lost a disc and have not heard back from me, I apologize. In addition to those I have contaced, there remains a Vibram orange/white disc with Bubba on the back. If you are Bubba or know him, have him get a hold of me. I also have an orange Innova, factory 2nd with the letters DS on the inside rim. There is also a light blue Pro Katana with the words "Wild test flight Haven written on the b ... more

I lost an unmarked pink Z heat on hole 15 just barely off the fairway, checked and never saw it. Just in case it gets found :D
Brenden Andrews June 4 at 2:03am
Lost a yellow Surge SS on 15 left side middle road. Name/Number/PDGA# on it. Please let me know if found. Great event! Course looked great. Can't wait till next year!
Troy Wagner June 4 at 1:25am
Lost a dayglo Star Destroyer on hole 2 past the left side corner bush. Spotter and my card couldn’t find it during the round and went back with a few bodies after the round yesterday with no luck. Disc seemed to have just vanished into the dead leaves and vines there. If anyone from the staff or another player found and didn’t return to tournament central I would love to get that one back and will pay a reward and shipping back to me. Had an inked out old phone number and a silver sharpie ‘T’ on the inner rim.

Recommend putting your player pack water proof score sheet in your bag for today
Rob Dahmen June 1 at 12:42am
Tee times are posted!
Good luck all!
Tim Bretland May 31 at 7:09pm
Headed up from Cincinnati OH once I get off work 4pm so I won’t make the players meeting... When will I be able to check in / get players pack after 7pm today?

Just before or After the Player Meeting typically is when we will have that available
Greg Hines May 31 at 12:15am
What’s happens if you don’t make it to the players meeting?
Mark Stephens
May 31 at 12:56am
You are responsible for anything that comes up at the player meeting. We won’t be taking attendance

Love the new baskets guys! Good luck finishing things up today, hope you get out before the rain starts!

Hole 4 was further back and to the left about 50 feet, looks like it makes the big hyzer bomb over the right harder since the disc will tend to fade out into the trees on the left. Hole 5 is further and back to the right up over the crest of the hill about 75 feet? I don't remember the pin placement from last year but you'll be hard pressed to snag a duece on it now.
Drew "Orange Andy" Herron
May 31 at 2:20am
Sorry, that is, the pad for Hole 4, not the pin, which is still in its spot from last year.

Thank you, I appreciate the info, doing a practice round tomorrow!
T Pills May 28 at 7:41pm
How long is the stagger between groups? 10-15 min?
Ryan Duffy May 28 at 4:39am
When will the course be in??
John Minicuci
May 28 at 10:30am
We hope to have the tee pads and 17 baskets in before the end of Tuesday. We have to replant a sleeve that was damaged. That basket will go in on Wednesday. The tee pads may or may not be installed by the end of Tuesday. I would shoot for Wednesday. The course is closed until after the USADGC for all non-tournament players.

Any updates on course installation? Looks like today may be the prime practice day.
John Minicuci
May 30 at 2:42am
Since today was the day we advertised we would begin installation, and installing a course is not a 3 hour tour, after working close to 11 hours on the course, we are half way done. All of the baskets are in, a lot of grass cutting still needs to happen, and 7 tee pads are installed (the most time consuming and energy zapping process.)
Joe Paczwa May 27 at 7:26am
Hey John I'm not sure if I will be able to play due to an injury. I would still like the player pack offered though. Can someone from waitlist take my spot and I still receive the player pack? Or should I play through it?
Joe Paczwa
May 29 at 8:42pm
Got a refund on my entry fee. Should i still come to check in on thursday?
John Minicuci
May 30 at 2:12am
Not everyone checks in on Thursday so I couldn't tell if there will be players packs available or not at any time on Thursday. Discraft said they would sell you a players pack if there are any available. Let us go through registration first and I can send you a message.
Drew "Orange Andy" Herron May 26 at 12:09am
How will initial tee times be determined and when will they posted? Thanks!

Oops. I meant the LOWEST rated players tee last. Highest rated players tee first on Friday
Nate Buban May 25 at 4:53pm
Will we be playing in groups of four or three? Thanks!
T Pills
May 25 at 10:16pm
I have to imagine 4 with a field of 144. When I played years ago it was groups of 4.
Cody Cruz May 24 at 9:33pm
Hi my name is Cody Cruz. I received an email saying that i was promoted from waitlist to registration list. the email also referred me to a link to confirm my registration, but when i follow the link it says registration updates aren't allowed. so i am wondering if I am officially registered or not?

You're in! It was just letting you know that you are no longer on the waiting list.
