The evening events …are they for the whole family or just the players? Didn’t know if it was limited per player

Dynamic Discs   June 29, 2021 at 8:14pm

Whole family!

Micah Fouquet    June 29, 2021 at 2:12pm

Is there any way I can add Long Drive? I just got in so I wouldn't be able to add it before now.

Congratulations on making it in!

I don't see a problem with having 5 people on the card. Juniors are not known for playing slow and let's say the first round takes 3 hours to complete which is quite some time on courses other than country club. That still gives you 2 hours to get lunch and to get to the next tee time. I think this is a more than reasonable time to have between rounds. I say this because I am frustrated at the fact that you only let 72 junior 18 kids, into worlds when you invite over 1000 kids, worldwi ... more

totally understand how you feel. but it's been that way forever. it sucks think about am worlds over 30,000 invited and only 768 people get in.

Jesse Arzola   June 29, 2021 at 4:27am

I think my biggest complaint is the pdga official that decided to allow people that hadn't met the criteria sign up. Accidental. I'm sure. Once he realized they were in they should of been moved to the waitlist until they passed the exam. Instead 16ish people were allowed to stay in thus p ... more

I dont see that happening. But who knows

Where can I see it?

Dynamic Discs   July 1, 2021 at 3:12pm

It will be under Players tab and then Caddy Book.

Hugo Dwyer    June 28, 2021 at 11:10pm

Is there any chance to have 5 people on a card to let in the people left on the wait-list for those certain divisions?

Jayme Padilla   June 29, 2021 at 12:43am

Probably not. Cause if so they will say it will take too long. And they said the maximum amount of people in a pool can be 72. Which is kinda silly but it is understandable. That’s just the rules

Dynamic Discs   June 29, 2021 at 8:13pm

No plans to have 5 person cards.

Larry Burge   June 30, 2021 at 4:17pm

the PDGA has a "no cards of 5 in majors" policy.

Gabriel Teubner    June 28, 2021 at 9:16pm

Sorry you probably have answered this. But at what time on the July 6th will the waitlist be refunded?

Andrew Sweeton   June 28, 2021 at 9:20pm

Not July 6th, it will be first thing in the morning (Eastern) on Saturday, July 3rd

Gabriel Teubner   June 28, 2021 at 9:22pm

My bad idk why I said the 6th

Ben Green    June 28, 2021 at 8:54pm

Thank you to everyone working to put this together!

Could people update their waitelist.

Andrew Sweeton   June 28, 2021 at 2:15pm

Sorry, what do you mean?

Gabriel Teubner   June 28, 2021 at 8:32pm

do you mean if you can add long drive?

Hugo Dwyer    June 28, 2021 at 4:03am

Is there any chance that I get to get into junior 18. I am number 9 on the wait-list. It says 72/72 signed up in that division but in all singed up it says 252/280. So will you let in the 20 ish people on the wait-list if that is the final number for everybody that is signed up?

Permalink
Jayme Padilla   June 28, 2021 at 5:09am

They have said no. Because the maximum amount of people per pool is 72. Sucks. But maybe some kids would be in a different position if people didn’t get let in without passing the certification on time of when they were registering. What can we do though????

Grant Folsom   June 28, 2021 at 5:13am

It's almost like passing the certification was a REQUIREMENT to sign up...

Jayme Padilla   June 28, 2021 at 4:59pm

It was supposed to be. When I tried to sign up. I didn’t have it passed at the time. And it declined me because I was not certified. But some people were in when they were not certified

Grant Folsom    June 28, 2021 at 12:57am

How do you justify turning away Junior players that were screwed out of playing? This is the third major in a row where the PDGA has screwed something up with. USWDGC and Pro Worlds were messed up. With the registration mess-up, that made three majors in a row. Not to mention how the juniors effected were treated like they were not important and it was their fault for everything. When will the PDGA wake up and realize they are crumbling under the pressure of mass load of new players?

Gabriel Teubner   June 28, 2021 at 1:51am

Would you want to play 2 rounds with 5 or 6 on a card in 1 day?

Grant Folsom   June 28, 2021 at 2:04am

I didnt say that, but there needs to be accountability. You needed to have a current official status to register, they should keep that requirement.

Gabriel Teubner   June 28, 2021 at 2:22am

i agree, and hopefully this can be used as another example, but we don't know what happened with registration and also This year has been really big for disc golf in my opinion, so they might be a little overwhelmed. At the end of the day, we need to realize that things happen and we are all human.

Caleb Kramer    June 26, 2021 at 7:09pm

Can we still update our registration to add more field events?

Andrew Sweeton   June 26, 2021 at 7:19pm

No sorry, registration is closed.

Caleb Kramer   June 26, 2021 at 7:39pm

Thank you for quick response.

Gabriel Teubner    June 26, 2021 at 2:26am

When Will the junior worlds course layouts be put up? Or are they already put in?

Ian Roudebush   June 26, 2021 at 4:27am

They are already in

Kian spurlin    June 25, 2021 at 9:58pm

Does the ace pot only go for your division or every division.

Andrew Sweeton   June 25, 2021 at 11:41pm

One Ace Pot across all competitors.

Christopher bigbear-bigheart    June 25, 2021 at 7:22pm

Do we have to pay to practice at country club?

Gabriel Teubner   June 25, 2021 at 8:00pm

I believe it's listed like $10

Gabriel Teubner    June 25, 2021 at 3:09pm

But what about before July 3rd.

Andrew Sweeton   June 25, 2021 at 3:29pm

what about what before July 3rd?

Dynamic Discs   June 25, 2021 at 4:01pm

Normal schedule would apply for dates prior to July 3rd. It can be found here: https://www.emporiacc.org/disc-golf

Is the Country club open for practice rounds all day normally?

Will family be able to spectate at the competition on Monday? Also are there any covid rules that will prevent family being at any of the after round events.

Dynamic Discs   June 24, 2021 at 11:39am

There are not any COVID rules that will keep families from being at any of the Junior Worlds events.

Hi, Dynamic Discs. I just read this article on the pdga site: https://www.pdga.com/announcements/2021-junior-worlds-designated-phase-3-event. Can you expand on the difference (if any) between a requirement and Best Practice related to the phase 3 designation? One in Best Practice of interest is the ... more

Unfortunately both Charlie and Jared Curiel will need to drop out of MJ15. Hopefully will make a couple kids day off the waitlist!
