Why does it say that we split payout, that would not be right. 1st $1,750 2nd $1000.

$1750 + $1000 = $2750. Divide that by 2 and you get $1375.

Jeff Jacquart   February 28, 2023 at 1:14am

There are no ties for first place. It has been corrected.

Michelle Montgomery   February 28, 2023 at 4:52pm

Oh, of course! Congrats on the win, Mitch!

Mitch McClellan    February 27, 2023 at 10:15pm

It would be pretty cool to be listed as the winner, with the right amount of money.

Anybody still in the Vegas area? I am already back in Boise, but left my collapsible/portable disc golf basket at my AirBnb (about 10 min from the course, corner of E Harmon and Sandhill Rd). It would be a huge favor to me if someone could grab it and just hang onto it.

Did you get this secured?

ruben alaniz    February 27, 2023 at 6:59pm

Not sure if my range finder got stolen out of my bag or if it mysteriously fell out into the buses cargo hold on Sat. Is there a lost and found? Black older model Bushnell. Didn't fall out of my bag any of the other 10 rides I took on the shuttle. Heard of others getting their items stolen. Hope that is not the case. Please LMK if you've found it. Longshot, I know. Thanks.

Two newer rangerfinders turned back to their owners. Will keep our eye and ears out.

Thanks, Jeff!

Meant to post this earlier:
Somebody nabbed one of Casey White's discs from over the fence on the Par5 on the Millennium Course. It had Simon Lizotte's name on it. Casey followed the rules and didn't retrieve it during the round and waited to go ask the home owner to grab, but it was gone by the time he got to it. He was suuuper bummed.. if the person who's got it reads this, reach out to Casey. His disc's are very important to him and his game--I'm sure each one has a story tied to it--and it would mean a lot for him to get it back.

I am looking to offload my players pack bag and discs cheap (can’t fit them on the flight home). Let me know if you’re interested!

Rad Roberts   February 23, 2023 at 3:56am

Might be interested. DM me

Ryan Sparks    February 22, 2023 at 3:47am

@thomas Kocurek I’m here as well. Came all the way from Colorado just to find out they stopped promoting from the waitlist on Sunday. Pretty frustrating. They lose money by not filling the spot too so it doesn’t make since not to fill open spots when people want to play. Sucks.

Corwin Kozan   February 22, 2023 at 6:44pm

Hey Colorado boys! I saw they stopped promoting players, but I had already made plans so I’m out here as well, guess I get to watch the dgpt side which should still be dope, just out and about playing local courses now.

Matt Davis    February 22, 2023 at 3:08am

Will the players meeting go live on YouTube/Facebook? Not sure if I’ll be able to make it.

Joe Caissie   February 22, 2023 at 3:30am

Also, can you send me my Sexton Firebird via YouTube/Facebook?

Matt Davis   February 22, 2023 at 4:10am

Yes please send me a Firebird too. Haha!!

Phil Shane    February 19, 2023 at 5:19pm

I’d like to play a practice round on Millennium or Infinite, MA50 , today, with someone familiar with the courses. Come find me in the vendor tent. Drink Rinse Repeat booth, FrisbeePhil, where the growlers are.

Having a hard time finding the caddy book for this year. It’s my understanding that they will not be physically published this year, but I have to imagine they were made if only for tee signs. I would very much like to see the OB lines and follow along as I watch the preview videos. Wrapping my head around changes since last rime I was here. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Refund? There was only a $10 waitlist fee which is not refundable.

Stacey“ThaHuckinFooligan” Briscoe   February 21, 2023 at 5:01am

That’s right. Forgot.

Stacey“ThaHuckinFooligan” Briscoe   February 21, 2023 at 5:02am

Have great tourney and I’ll try again next year!

Joey Montalvo    February 19, 2023 at 8:09am

Does anyone know how it works if a registered player doesn’t show up the day of the event. Do waitlisted players have an opportunity to take their place the morning of the event for no-shows?

@Scott Merritt, does this mean if a registered player wanted to drop out after Sunday (Feb. 19) they WILL NOT receive a refund and their spot WILL NOT be filled??

Jeff Jacquart   February 20, 2023 at 2:38am

Yes.

Jeff Jacquart   February 20, 2023 at 3:23am

@Joey Montalvo, we may be able to provide a MPO refund wit a replacement if we know ASAP that a currently registered MPO wants to drop.

Ryan Sparks    February 18, 2023 at 2:02am

If 15 more people would drop out so I can get in that would be great. Haha.

I'm waiting in 4 as well, best of luck to you, and I'm here already...

Jay Bowman    February 18, 2023 at 12:43am

If we did not initially pay for a caddy badge during registration, are we able to purchase one when we arrive on site?

Jeff Jacquart   February 18, 2023 at 12:51am

Yes.

Jay Bowman   February 18, 2023 at 1:12am

Robert Cummings III   February 18, 2023 at 1:27am

Yay

Jenn Morgan    February 17, 2023 at 6:10pm

Do you know when the sexton firebird release will
Be?

Jeff Jacquart   February 17, 2023 at 3:00pm

2/22 for PLayers and Platinum VIP after the Player's Meeting. 2/25 at 6 PM for all other badged event participants.

Jay Bowman   February 20, 2023 at 8:31pm

For 2/22, when you say "Players" does that include the A-Tier players?

Jeff Jacquart   February 22, 2023 at 5:51am

Yes.

Matt Davis    February 16, 2023 at 10:54pm

Hey hello, regarding bullet point "1)" in the most recent email, it says "all players will receive a LVC Caddy Bib". Will the folks who paid for a caddy during registration be refunded? Or is this just referring to elite players, while A-tier Players still need to pay for their caddy? Thanks for all your work. looking forward to the event!

Ah, okay. Copy that. Thank you!!

Jeff Jacquart   February 17, 2023 at 3:00pm

To follow up, the player may choose their caddie, who must be BADGED and be wearing a CADDIE BIB. This person is then designated by the player to be their caddie and CAN support them inside the ropes. A player cannot have more than one caddie. All other persons on-site are treated as a spectaotr and must stay outside the ropes, and cannot walk with the player.

Matt Davis   February 17, 2023 at 6:34pm

Awesome, this totally makes. Thanks again!
