When Worlds split from adults why did they not increase the numbers. And last year was cancelled, how can this be changed . If you say its always been this way, I would say who cares, I bet maybe total number of kids who wanted to play was 100, now I would bet 1000 for each group. If you are a parent please responde to this post so next year they do something. My kid will most likely be done.

unfortunately that's the way. in order to have that many kids you would need to have 15/20 courses able to be used in a town then triple or quadruple the volunteers need to run a major and need a club to bid on the process and want to take on that responsibility.

The popularity of the sport this year, will drive change in the future. We're stuck in the learning curve right now.

I played a A tier in Charlotte where they used A and B pools and there were 144 players in my field (ma1) and nearly 500 players playing the event. For example if A pool plays course 1 in the morning and course 2 in the afternoon and B pool plays course 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon there ... more

Is the MJ18 division guaranteed to play 5 rounds or 6? Which round is the last one before the cut?

Everyone in MJ18 plays six rounds through Saturday morning, then a cut to Finals for the top 4 players.

Jacob Newberry   June 20, 2021 at 1:57pm

Thank you

Andrew Sweeton   June 20, 2021 at 1:52pm

I believe sometime this coming week.

Dynamic Discs   June 21, 2021 at 1:22pm

Later this week. The course maps and notes though are already available here: pdgajuniorworlds.com

Dynamic Discs   June 21, 2021 at 1:23pm

Go to pdgajuniorworlds.com and click on the "Players" tab - the course maps and hole descriptions are there.

Hello, 2021 PDGA Junior World Parents of Participants. My son, Jake Mickelson (#60990) and I just pulled out of the event due to MJ18 being filled to capacity and Jake was #15 Waitlist. That said, He has one more year of eligibility. We booked a terrific Bed and Breakfast in January for this event; The Gulfer Mansion. Two floors are now available due to our withdrawal from attending the event. Please contact Susan the Gulfer Mansion Owner; she is terrific!

Thats cool

Benjamin Reddick    June 18, 2021 at 10:40pm

Will you consider allowing the waitlist people to take spots for other division that have not filled up on July 2nd?

If it is concerning MJ18 or MJ15, they can't be increased, they are already full pools of 72 players.

Andrew Sweeton   June 19, 2021 at 2:41am

We don't allow the use of fivesomes at World Championships, and don't recommend them for any level event.

Benjamin Reddick   June 20, 2021 at 1:26pm

Thanks, was just wondering

Jonah Burdick    June 18, 2021 at 8:23pm

Will there be caddies allowed?

Dynamic Discs   June 21, 2021 at 1:24pm

Yes, caddies are allowed.

Andrew Sweeton   June 17, 2021 at 11:35am

email the name and phone number to me at [email redacted] and I'll update the record.

Dillon jolls    June 17, 2021 at 12:20am

What are the odds of me getting into jr worlds 15 I’m #1 on the waiting list

Permalink
Caleb Crim   June 17, 2021 at 12:29am

Most likely you will get in.

Andrew Sweeton   June 17, 2021 at 2:11am

Odds are better than if you were #10, but it's impossible to predict if we will get a drop or not.

Gabriel Teubner    June 16, 2021 at 9:39pm

What happens if someone drops out after July 2nd?

Permalink
Andrew Sweeton   June 16, 2021 at 11:39pm

Nothing, everyone still on the waitlist on the morning of July 3rd is refunded so drops are only backfilled through July 2nd.

Jayme Padilla    June 15, 2021 at 9:46pm

If I live 45 minutes away from emporia. Should I come to check in on that Tuesday? How will I know if I may get in the tournament or not?

Andrew Sweeton   June 16, 2021 at 3:47am

If there is a drop to get you in, you will receive an email from Disc Golf Scene letting you know. If you don't get in by Friday July 2nd, you will be refunded on Saturday, June July 3rd, so if not in there is no reason to come out on Tuesday unless you want to spectate.

Grant Folsom    June 15, 2021 at 9:25pm

What will player's packs consist of?

Erich Partee   June 16, 2021 at 1:33am

won't know till we go and pick them up.

Jesse Arzola   June 16, 2021 at 2:33am

Can't say what it will be but it won't have a cart!

Dynamic Discs   June 17, 2021 at 2:03pm

The player pack is always a surprise!

Gabriel Teubner    June 15, 2021 at 2:53am

Does the player's pack come with the entry fee?

Dynamic Discs   June 15, 2021 at 12:14pm

It does.

Asher Cook    June 15, 2021 at 2:42am

Will there be a zuca cart in this years players pack?!

Dynamic Discs   June 15, 2021 at 12:15pm

Not this year.

Mason McLean    June 14, 2021 at 11:18pm

When playing a practice round, can parents play as well? What about at ECC?

Dynamic Discs   June 15, 2021 at 12:15pm

Yes, they can.

Mason McLean   June 15, 2021 at 3:30pm

Tommy Gager    June 14, 2021 at 1:18pm

What days are the FJ10 division playing?

Permalink
Dynamic Discs   June 14, 2021 at 1:24pm

Wed, 7/7 to Sat 7/10

Larry Burge    June 12, 2021 at 4:16am

Registration for doubles only shows 70 people but Cadence Burge cannot register. All of the girls' divisions have only one team currently, so would not be contested. Can you allow more teams so that the girls can play?

Permalink
Andrew Sweeton   June 13, 2021 at 7:15pm

72 players have already registered, so it won't allow further registrations. I'm working on determining a mismatch on partners to confirm who is playing with who. If it ends up there is space after that or due to drops, I'll let you know,

Lupe Esquivel    June 12, 2021 at 3:58am

Looking for a partner for Carley Jordan, she is playing FJ15

Larry I got cadence and carley signed up boss, we are good to go. Can’t wait to see them play.

Larry Burge   June 14, 2021 at 9:56pm

That is fantastic!

Larry Burge   June 14, 2021 at 10:04pm

They are going to look like twins

Caleb Crim    June 12, 2021 at 2:30am

How does the final 9 work? Do your scores carry over from the other days? Or is it whoever wins the final 9 is the champion? Or something else? If anyone has any info on what the final 9 is like that would be appreciated.

Gabriel Teubner   June 12, 2021 at 3:28am

I've been in a final 9 before and scores carried over. But I don't know if at a higher level it resets.

Lupe Esquivel   June 12, 2021 at 3:57am

Total scores carry over into final 9

Caleb Crim   June 13, 2021 at 5:34pm

ok thanks

Asher Cook    June 12, 2021 at 1:18am

Is there a point to stay on the 10th if I don't make it to the finals? Like is there any event I would miss?

Permalink
Gabriel Teubner   June 12, 2021 at 1:39am

I have no clue if you are able to because of covid and stuff, but they might let people spectate the final 9. If that's something your interested in. I just have no idea if that's a possibility at all

Dynamic Discs   June 14, 2021 at 1:25pm

Both the semi-finals and the finals are on Saturday the 10th. You can certainly spectate as well.
