Great event guys. Beautiful courses and flawless flow. Hopefully next year nobody brings their toddler with them to shoot the round.

Is it too late to switch divisions? If not I'd like to go from rec to adv...

Yes. I'm not with the boards though. Call me at 3176267624 to confirm in the morning, I will be at the park by 6. Assume you are still MA3 until you talk to me in the morning.

Heads up. We are going to be raffling off a Dynamic Discs Recruit basket, among other prizes. There will be a ring of fire following round 2, for all competitors. Also, this weekend the 574 Chain gang will be running a a putting mini game, with awesome prizes, to raise money to help with one of our local's urgent and expensive medical procedures, more info available at Flex-it Friday and the day of the Battle.

Short of lightning, per pdga rules, we will play in any condition.

Me and my girlfriend are in different pools. I can drop her off at her course in the morning, I'm hoping some kind soul will be nice enough to give her a ride from Rum Village to George Wilson for the second round. Thanks in Advance!

Tons of people all going to the same place, it won't be a problem at all Joe.

There are still 6 more 2 disc players packs available! Our General division is volunteers and staff but gets counted towards our overall.

Are we playing the three bonus woods holes at Wilson and any extra holes at Rum? I don't see these holes listed on any of your hole descriptions/OB list, and I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if we aren't at least playing the extra ones at Wilson.

It is with a sad heart that we must omit the three new holes at Wilson. They are still not entirely clear of widow makers hanging in the trees, nor have teepads been installed. In light of these 2 facts, and in an effort to keep time roughly balanced between the two courses, we made the decision to ... more

That sucks. They told us at the last Wilson tournament that they would have them ready for the next tournament and I can't play in Flex it Friday because I work then :(

Tyler Jackson    June 12, 2017 at 2:42am

AdvancedrIntermediate will play George Wilson for the 1st round. Rec/women/juniors will play Rum village the first round. These assignments are tentative, any changes will be posted on here.

Check-in is available at Flex it Friday.Registration will also be available at Flex it Friday at George Wilson. However, no registration will be accepted the morning of the tournament. This has to be done in order to ensure a smooth, efficient start between the two courses. All entrants will be able to check-in at their courses on Saturday as well.

* players can check in at their 1st assigned course, Saturday morning

Gary Vigil   June 9, 2017 at 11:35am

Where can we see which assigned course we are starting on?

Tyler Jackson   June 9, 2017 at 1:42pm

Course assignments will be posted by Monday June 12th.

Is there going to be a mando on Hole 12 (old 13)?

Joe Rutkowski   May 15, 2017 at 6:04am

Hey Nate, I uploaded the special instructions for both courses into the pictures link on this page, no Mando on 12.

Nathan Hostetter   May 19, 2017 at 7:29pm

sweet

Bart Shaw    May 5, 2017 at 7:49pm

Hey Joe, do you know, will the tee pads be the same for INT and ADV (and at both courses)? Thanks!

Joe Rutkowski   May 5, 2017 at 4:04pm

Great question Bart and yes I do know :) The Advanced and Intermediate fields will play the same tee pads. The majority of any short pads will be played by Junior players.

Bart Shaw   May 6, 2017 at 10:26pm

Great. Thanks Joe. Looking forward to it.
