It's been a month since you heard from me, so here's an update. I don't need to tell you that Covid has changed the way things are done and has affected our everyday's lives. That's certainly been the case for the Treebash. The city entered Phase 3 of Covid a few weeks ago, which provided an opening to hold events on the city courses (Thorpe and McP). We jumped on the opportunity and submitted an application to use both courses. The permit approval process is a bit more deliberate than it's been in the past, so it's taking more time. We've made it through all of the hoops but one, approving our insurance. That is pending review. Our insurance is through PDGA and we are confident that it will past the test. That said, we are moving forward but have restructured the tournament to meet Covid restrictions imposed by the state, county, and city. Here are some details.
1. We will use McP, Thorpe, and Ft Tuthill, but each division will play only 2 courses (one course twice). Ams will play McP and Thorpe; Pros will play Thorpe and Tuthill.
2. The tournament will still be over 3 days, but each division will play 3 rounds over 2 days.
3. We need to finalize the schedule. Tentatively, Ams will play Friday and Saturday; Pros will play Saturday and Sunday.
4. There will be 4 groups (2 Ams and 2 Pros) NTE 50 players and staff on a course/day.
5. We still have a few spots open and I will open registration on discgolfscene to fill those spots. Priority will go to people who have contacted me about getting in.
What a long, strange trip it's been!

Tournament Update: Well folks, given circumstances and limitations for holding the Treebash Aug 28-30, we need to kick the can down the road and postpone the tournament. We've been working with local authorities to pull it off, but they are adhering to the Governor's executive order limiting events to 50 people. Given that we have 170 registered and 15 on the waitlist, a limit of 50 just won't work. These people are in a tough spot and I understand and appreciate their concerns. That said, we are hoping to move the tournament to Oct 9-11 or 16-18. These are tentative dates as I need approval from local parks, PDGA, the AZ state coordinator, and state coordinators of the adjoining states. I know that the tentative dates may not work for you; if so, please request a refund though discgolfscene or contact me directly.
