Regarding cancellation of JBO flex tournaments …. maybe I’m old fashioned but there was NO communication as to why these tournaments were cancelled. All we received was a refund notice. I had planned my itinerary around playing and of course PDGA and any Credit Card fees are NOT refunded. It could be any reason along the lines of PDGA does not want us on the same property, lack of player interest all the way down to other obligations are in conflict. Just saying nothing is discourteous and quite frankly taints reputations. I my humble opinion of course.

If yall dont like the way a tourney is ran you got 2 options. 1. Steup up and run it yourself(which i wouldnt advise cause it sounds like yall dont know very much) amd 2. Dont play in it nobody likes a bunch of cry babies trying to tell them how to ru things when they are the ones putting all of their time and effort in. Shout out to all yall putting on the JBO yall are doin great. Keep up the hard work !!!!!!!!

I have played this event the last 2 years. Traveling from Michigan, I have really pushed this event amongst my piers because of the access you have to the pro side. HOWEVER, we have ALWAYS had access to the pros as a player. You aren't ADDING anything more to the access this year for players.

We don't get to play Disc Side of Heaven REC this year, why is that???? Kind of the draw to playing this tournament if you ask me. We also had payouts the last two years. Even at your flex events, so does that mean those are trophy only now too?

The players pack the last 2 years was AWESOME. I am a traveling amateur who wants to shadow the pro events as much as possible, the fact that there is no pay out for an A tier event AND I don't get to play DSH, this might be a pass this year. Sad, because I LOVE this event!

That’s crazy the players pack isn’t much more then what we always get I don’t even throw prodigy so it’s a total waste of $$ anyways and on top of it I don’t get to play discside am side which is my favorite course to play in the tournament and on top of that I don’t get a payout if I place so I could buy things like a retrievers since I don’t throw prodigy disc I just hope this tournament is better next year

Several questions regarding not playing the Rec Course this year. Here are the details:

Each year as the tournament grows, we have to add more things to Tournament Central. Tournament Central is a small area, and with more spectators, more media, larger warmup area, more food vendors, etc, space is at a premium. When we run the AM Side on the Rec Course, that adds 72 players and their spectators to that cramped area. The Pro Side has just become too big to handle that and the AM Side running on the property at the same time. (This is a good thing)

Our choices were to move the AM Side to a different weekend like many other DGPT events do, or to move the AMs off of the Rec Side. Either way, people would not have been happy.

We chose to keep it the same weekend and to run the Flex starts on the Rec Side. By doing this, it will help keep the congestion down. This gives you the option of playing the Rec Side if you want to, without forcing 72 players teeing off at the same time.
