Could I switch to FA2 or is it too late for that?

What day does parking lot camping begin?

Permalink

Chad Smoliak 5 days ago

I am pretty sure it's a year round thing so there isn't really a start time. I can tell you there is also a soccer tournament the same weekend as the TCO and you can not reserve a spot there so the earlier the better. Tickets / passes are purchased through the kiosk on site.

Carrie Neal April 11 at 3:32pm

For everyone trying to book camping in Logan Lake… We were told that some sites would be set aside for disc golfers. I am currently waiting to hear back as to how we can get players in touch prior to May 1st to book said sites. I know it’s a limited number…10-12 max, and will be first come first served. When I have the information, I will send an email out to plauers using the email address provided during tournament registration.

Thanks for the update!

Brandon Belanger April 11 at 6:26pm

To my knowledge I booked the last available slot at the campground the day I registered for TCO.

Blair Richmond May 3 at 1:49pm

Is there any update on the Logan Lake sites? I've tried to book a few times and every time it says there are no sites available for those dates.

Blair Richmond May 3 at 8:10pm

Update :) I called and they do have sites available.

Brad Smith April 5 at 3:27pm

Any updates on camping? I've never been out that way, so any camping recommendations are appreciated!

That site is about a ten minute walk to he Logan lake course, not sure how full it is but I've stayed there and enjoyed it.

Charlie Picken April 5 at 4:12pm

There is a few RV style camp sites in town that you can tent at. Logan lake I'd say is better but if you wanna be in town then they might be the way to go

Carrie Neal April 5 at 4:13pm

Perfect! You beat me to it! They have all kinds of sites available...tents, RV, Hook-ups. Bathrooms with showers, wifi...it's a sweet set-up! They know there's a disc golf tournament and do have some sites set aside.

Lucas Gustafson February 20 at 7:10am

Is there a size chart for the jerseys?

Donovan Wilk February 20 at 5:57pm

XXL is as short as XS, I guess I'm getting a crop top lmao!

Elizabeth deVries February 21 at 3:52am

That was an error. Fixed!

Dalton Mack March 1 at 5:11am

So we can’t get crop tops? I’ve been working on my dad gut and was hoping to show it off.

Rob Clayton February 16 at 6:08pm

Why did MA40 get put in pool B this year?

Permalink

Chad Smoliak February 16 at 6:32pm

When building the pools I needed them both to have a 200 player cap and used numbers based on prior division sizes as a guideline when figuring out how best to arrange them.

Rob Clayton February 16 at 6:57pm

Ahh makes sense, disappointing but understandable

Brad Smith April 2 at 4:00am

I hear ya. Hopefully the entrant numbers dictate MA40 more fitting for pool A than MA2. No offense to anyone, just distance speaking! Copper Gold, Copper Blue, and Mac Universal seems right for MA1 and Ma40. Of course I just get to play! And not organize.... So I appreciate all the work! Haha

Chad Smoliak February 12 at 6:01pm

There have been a few questions in regards to layouts for the courses, mainly Copper Ridge.

At McArthur Island with the exception of Junior divisions everyone will play the same layout with adjusted pars. Juniors may see some small changes.

Copper Ridge is currently in the planning phases of some redesign. We don’t know how far along it will be by the time the tournament starts. We can assure you that what you play will be great, as Brett Hanna has been doing fantastic work ther ... more

Would be nice if us MA70's could play all RED pads to.

Jacob Visser February 13 at 6:13pm

Would there be a world where Ma1 would play all gold pads? no critique either way, i personally just like the challenge of the gold pad (I know I don't necessarily speak for everyone)

Richard Cook February 16 at 5:22pm

I agree with Craig B, I can't remember if we played Blue last year but arm fatigue is the reality now. Red helps with reducing that.

Chad Smoliak February 20 at 4:26am

I can definitely take the thoughts from the MA70 in to consideration. It's a difficult balance and impossible to make everyone happy. That being said some changes can be considered if entire divisions wish for there to be

Shannon Sanders February 7 at 12:01am

Carrie, Chad and others...thank you so much for putting this together. It is a massive undertaking! This will be my first TCO, so I am excited! Well done, everyone.

Chris Carlton February 5 at 8:23pm

Any info on which divisions are in each pool?And what T pads they are playing? Not interested in playing short pads at Logan again.

Carrie Neal February 5 at 8:52pm

Pools are listed on the registration page. We will have the tee pad assignments announced for sure by the end of this week, trying for sooner. With the new design at Copper Ridge, we needed to take some time to consider distances and pars

Carrie Neal February 5 at 3:23am

I want to address course selection for TCO. Our team appreciates the feedback and hopes that everyone can understand that when running an event of this caliber, almost a year of planning goes into it and decisions being made are not done off the cuff or without serious discussion. The reality is, Rose Hill is not our park. It's a city park and when enough local residents complain, the city listens. Yes, we parked on the grassy area the last two years.

I want to address course selection for TCO. Our team appreciates the feedback and hopes that everyone can understand that when running an event of this caliber, almost a year of planning goes into it and decisions being made are not done off the cuff or without serious discussion. The reality is, Rose Hill is not our park. It's a city park and when enough local residents complain, the city listens. Yes, we parked on the grassy area the last two years. That is no longer an option. Two vehicles were damaged while parked along the road so now we are limited to the road side parking we can use and without an independent, certified traffic plan, the city will not provide parking control on Rose Road either. Shuttles are out of our price range and car pooling isn't something our team has time to organize.

Adding to our decision was that upgrades to tee pads this Spring are planned and currently the city has not given us timeline for the work. We also have a few greens to redesign due to Hydro clearcutting them last summer.

Unfortunately, Dick Hart is not ready. Due to the unprecedented fire season we experienced, we were set back about about 3 months. We pushed through September and exhausted our club and volunteers to be ready for the local C Tier events in October, but there is still so much left to do to bring it up to the standards that players deserve and are required for an A Tier.

With only so many people willing to volunteer and get involved throughout the year, we needed to decide where our energy and efforts were best spent in the final planning stage of TCO. WE promise Logan Lake will not disappoint with its new layout and Gold tee pads and that Mac will be a challenge with the trees in full bloom and the OB lines tight!

We strive to ensure that the overall player experience is positive, fun and memorable and we understand our decision has disappointed people and we respect their decision to not attend or play. All we ask is that you trust our team and the KDGC and will keep us in mind next year when planning your tournament schedule.

Cheers~
Carrie

Great explanation. Constraints happen. Sounds like the plan was optimized with all due considerations.

Charlie Picken February 6 at 6:14am

Bummer to heard about the parking situation but a very understandable decision. Thanks for the update Carrie !

Gryphon Vester February 5 at 12:46am

Super disappointed to see you have decided not to use Rose Hill. I probably won't be coming out this year if that's the case. Was parking an issue with the city, or just something you thought was an issue? It seemed fine to me last year. Also a few years ago at club champs the grass area was opened up for parking and there seemed to be lots of space.

Either way, a huge L losing Rose Hill for tournament rounds, really hoping that decision get reconsidered if at all possible, it is by far the best course out there in my opinion

The other courses are also very good. Copper Ridge has improved a ton. Mac Island is all around fantastic and unique compared to the other more woods-oriented courses in the area. The new Dick Hart might well be the best wooded course in BC, very challenging, very fun. Rose Hill is a great course, b ... more

Chad Smoliak February 5 at 2:50am

I do understand and know the decision will upset some. It’s a logistics issue for sure. Two years in a row we had players vehicles hit by motorists who live in the neighbourhood. Copper Ridge will have its gold layout place for the event and will definitely be more challenging than rose hill.

Rob Clayton February 5 at 3:16am

I agree with you Gryphon. Even as a local who can play rose any time I want, to not have it used for the tourney is disappointing and I'm sure many others agree. The new Copper layout does look amazing and I am sure it will be a hit. If Dick Hart is used then it kind of makes up for it but the ... more

Chad Smoliak February 5 at 9:03pm

I will also add we are in the planning stages of hosting rounds and events such as flex start C tiers etc at Rose during the tournament if people want to play two rounds and get more golf in at Rose. Stay tuned on news for that.

Gryphon Vester February 6 at 1:18am

Thanks for the feedback, I knew it probably wasn't a decision made lightly, I just wanted to voice my opinion and see how final the decision was/the reasoning behind it. I see there is a schedule, but I couldn't find what divisions are in what pool. If MPO is playing 2 rounds on the new go ... more

Chad Smoliak February 6 at 5:30am

The pools and schedule are there , MPO is playing Copper Ridge rounds 1 and 2 and I really do think people are going to enjoy it a lot more than Rose Hill.

Charlie Picken February 6 at 6:06am

I do agree that playing a McArthur style course isnt as fun has a wooded course with natural OB. Im stoked for the future and hope Dick hart will be ready for TCO 2025 as it a great course with lots of natural OB. Still stoked for TCO 2024 tournament! Looking forward to fun event and cool to hear there might be a C tier at rose and or other cool activities. Thanks Kamloops team and all you do!

Logan Nazareno February 2 at 3:55pm

It's a shame you guys decided to host this event 2 weeks before the b.c.o
Was looking forward to this being played in May.

It's good to have a big tournament under your belt before heading into another big tournament. jmho

Carrie Neal February 2 at 4:45pm

Hi Logan. When we announced our "Save the Date" on Oct 31st, we did know the date of the BC Open. We agree that it's unfortunate, but hope that people see the opportunity to have 3 A Tiers on their doorstep in BC this year as a positive one. Attend all of them or attend just one. Just as long as you are supporting the idea of big PDGA events in our province :)

Logan Nazareno February 2 at 4:49pm

I get that. You guys put on a great event

Logan Nazareno February 2 at 4:50pm

Unfortunately I believe alot of people are now going to have to make a choice between the tco and bco. Oh well maybe next year will be different

Brendon Dejong February 2 at 4:51pm

Plus with the tournaments closer together I imagine more players from farther away might consider making the trip and combining the two tournaments into one big fun trip. The reality is no matter what weekend you choose, it will be good for some and bad for some. Unfortunately it's not a perfect world and I personally am glad it's not in May.

Rick Collins February 2 at 10:15pm

Also a big shame to not be playing Rose Hill.

Rob Clayton February 3 at 1:01am

Definitely agree with it being a shame that Rose isn't being played. Hopefully it means Dick Hart will be used

Derek Whipps February 3 at 5:39pm

Agree, Rick and Rob, Rose Hill is one of my favourite courses in the province. A big Shame it's not going to be played.

Rob Clayton February 3 at 11:45pm

Most the people I've talked to look forward to getting a chance to play up there and actually prefer it to the island

John Bowers February 1 at 9:57pm

I do see the wording "AMATEUR TROPHY ONLY EVENT ..." in at least a couple of prominent places. Perhaps this is trying something different. Does this mean that all divisions, whether Am or Pro are competing for a trophy only, and everyone gets a player package? If the answer is Yes to this question, I then wonder why the entry fees differ from Pro divisions to Am divisions. I would imagine that most Pro players wouldn't generally wish to spend their higher net entry fee on unknown discs and accessories, even if they are benefiting from the added cash that turns into more discs.

Chad Smoliak February 1 at 10:22pm

As always Pro divisions are playing for cash and do not receive a players pack.

Chad Smoliak February 1 at 10:24pm

Amateur divisions will under PDGA guidelines which is the players pack must have a value great to or equal to 115% of net entry fee. We hope to far exceed that value and offer more on top of that. We truly value every player but especially the amateur divisions and strive to give them the best value we can.

Craig Burkitt February 2 at 1:51am

I've played the event the last 2 years and the Players Packs have been excellent both years.

John Bowers February 2 at 3:12am

Thanks. That's what I thought, though the ALL CAPS right at the top of the About and the Comments pages made we wonder.

Carrie Neal February 2 at 4:49pm

The all caps is to grab the players attention. We has some players travelled, some from a quite a distance, the last two years who apparently didn't read anything and were very disappointed that they didn't get paid our in merch or gc's. I would prefer to have everyone see that the Ams are Trophy only right off the hop, and then they can decide if they want to attend or not.

Carrie Neal February 2 at 4:50pm

ps...sorry about the spelling errors!

Jeremy Power January 24 at 7:18pm

Is the Rose Hill course going to be part of the tournament this year?

Permalink

Chad Smoliak January 24 at 7:52pm

The actual tournament it’s self will not be using Rose Hill , the parking etc there makes it very difficult for large events. However I believe the current plan is to have other activities happening there throughout the weekend for people to participate in before / after their tournament rounds. Stay tuned.

Sean Goodwin January 21 at 4:24am

Roughly when does registration open for this?

Carrie Neal January 21 at 5:01am
