There will be more to say in the coming days but for now please know due to today's PDGA announcement I will begin issuing everyone a full refund. Please be patient during this process. There are 160 plus refunds to process so it may take more than 10 minutes, lol.

ATTENTION: From the State of Michigan website (https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499-525173--,00.html): the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order has been extended through the end of April. The USADGC staff along with our sponsor Discraft, is monitoring the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and communicating with the PDGA.
At this time, we are still planning on hosting the 2020 PDGA Major. We realize everyone wants and answer so they can begin making travel plans. We will be upda ...

Thank you everyone!

Can anyone who had to sign up for the doubles and would like to opt out please all
comment here so that they are all in one thread. It will be easier to issue $20 refunds working off one list. Thanks!

At this time, all of the refunds have been processed. The refund extends to every player who paid for the doubles. At this time, we are unsure if a doubles will be scheduled but if one happens, we will post here on the Scene. Thank you for your patience!

Will this event be rescheduled this year?
Spencer Gee April 18, 2020 at 2:03pm
Very unfortunate. Will our invites be reissued in 2021?

I will say that we will have to discuss this as a staff and the PDGA. It will be answered but it will not be for a while...
Greg Hines April 17, 2020 at 8:08pm
Will you be issuing refunds for everyone ?
James willson April 17, 2020 at 8:06pm
With the AM nats being cancelled until 2021 due to covid what is needed to obtain our refunds ?
Matt Neal April 17, 2020 at 8:03pm
With this event being canceled what is our options for refunds at this time?
Jesse Cahill April 13, 2020 at 2:09pm
What is the contingency plan for Am Nats? Postponmemt or cancellation? Hoping for the former as only having Amateurs to reschedule it may still happen this year?

Literally just got my PDGA number. What is the best way to get into this tournament? Is it possible still?
Mark Stephens
March 14, 2020 at 2:27pm
You have to either have a rating high enough or win a spot at a qualifying event. www.usadgc.com. Look for the FAQ page

If that is Rob's PDGA#,he is registered as a Pro and is not eligible to play in the USADGC.
Adam Sullivan March 13, 2020 at 5:44pm
With everything going on concerning the corona virus, is this event being considered for postponement or possibly canceled all together.
Mark Stephens
March 13, 2020 at 5:52pm
Since this is not until June, there is no such thoughts or concerns at this time.

Is there a camping(tent) location nearby the course?

I sure hope there is a beat the beast competition this year! Thanks John and Mark and whoever else had a hand in dealing with the BTB issue so quickly.

March 13, 2020 at 1:21am
Thank you Jeff. I am non-stop at work these days but when I got home I was able to process 50 refunds in about 15 minutes. The Scene has become amazing in that capacity. When I did the Tiered ratings tho, I was pretty sure I de-selected the radial button for the BTB portion. User error, lol !

I agree Jeff, Beat the Beast was one of my favorite parts of last year! It was good to get out and have a relaxing round before 3 days of grinding that course out!
Jesse Cahill March 12, 2020 at 9:32pm
Had no idea there was an issue with having to select dubs. I received a refund but am still very much interested in participating with a byop. Is there a new pre-reg just for the beat the beast dubs now?

I posted a response in Mark's post. At this time we do not have confirmation a doubles will even happen. We are working on something and will post as soon as we know.

Thanks John, Mark responded to me as well. Looking forward to whatever bonues events you guys are able to pull off! (Bring back speed golf ;-) )

I didn't see the doubles opt-in on my registration...did it disappear?
Jesse Diller
March 12, 2020 at 6:07pm
ok, I was worried...my buddy was saying he saw it when he registered, but I didnt. :)
Josh Taylor March 12, 2020 at 4:13pm
Had to register Luke Taylor for "Battle the Beast" to finish registration...assuming that was an oversight...would like a refund of that $20 once you get that issue worked out. Thank You
Jonathan Sides March 12, 2020 at 4:06pm
Does our partner for Beat the Beast have to be an invited play for USADGC? Bringing a buddy to caddy and was wondering for them.
Tyler $ Alfano March 12, 2020 at 4:05pm
Pretty insane that there is no option to opt out of the beat the beast...

“More than 10mins”
I love that you said that.
For everyone that does not know, you cannot select all of the players and just hit refund. Each one has to be done individually while entering in a password. It is a timely process for a 30-40 person field. 100+ will perhaps take a few days. We are working on it and you will be refunded.
Thank you fellas! Your doing a great job!
Thank you guys!
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Do we need to withdrawal or will you refund/remove automatically? Thank you for your hard work.
Automatically. It is not a quick process. The number registered has steadily been going down.
Thank you Mark. As I begin this last stage of refunds, I just wanted to let everyone know we are working on the Qualifying process for 2021. It will be announced as soon as possible.

Thank you Mark. As I begin this last stage of refunds, I just wanted to let everyone know we are working on the Qualifying process for 2021. It will be announced as soon as possible. Those who qualified for the now cancelled 2020 event, you should all be proud of your accomplishments. Your qualification for the 2020 event will not carry over and all players for the 2021 event will have to requalify. We hope you understand why and look forward to hosting the 2021 event here on the Toboggan course in Michigan.
Refunds are all processed. Whew! If your refund has not been processed in a few days, please let me know. Stay Safe everyone and we hope to see you all in 2021!
That could not have been a fun process. WOW, I am glad I didn't have to do that. LOL
It hurt. Both physically and mentally. Its repetitive on the mind but sad for the event. We work hard on this event.
As soon as this all blows over please list events that are qualifiers for 2021. For us that qualified based of finishes from last year we’d love to know how we can qualify again other than solely rating. Thanks!
