Please review the player schedule for information on where your division will be playing throughout the weekend. Yes, MA2 will be playing WJ Homestead twice over the weekend. Yes MJA is playing Park96 and WJ Homestead.

Yes, all of this will make our tournament flow nicely and give everyone a chance to enjoy their weekend. We'll have a more expansive schedule provided May 12, 2019.

After a wintery start to the ADGTour season, we thought it prudent to give you all a few days to warm up and collect your wits before we start sending emails. Well, you should be pretty good to go today, so keep an eye on your inbox this afternoon.

We've got two WJ Homestead Preview events this weekend. You can see them on our Schedule now.

Additionally, it should be noted: ALL DIVISIONS PLAY WJ HOMESTEAD, except the following:

MP55
MJA

We urge you to make a plan to preview the course. You won't regret it, it can only help you to know what's going on out there.

More to come via email today.

Update April 4, 2019

April Fools!

We wanted to update before April 1st, but we had some fun instead. With all this lovely weather showing up the last few weeks we've been able to do a little course work bee planning. For all of you already signed up we're happy you made an early effort to sign-up. It makes planning everything so much easier.

Here are a few tidbits:

Two field events confirmed thus far:

Skillshot - Chad Gamelin will be setting up a really terrific Skillshot course for our players. We'll have a little more information on that before mid-April. He is bringing some awesome from his 2018 World Masters trip.

3rd Annual Mini-Mayhem with Mark Dakiv - 3x Word MIni-Champ Mark Dakiv will once again test your mini-skills on an expansive mini-course. He's really putting work in, folks. This is going to be awesome.

We've got sponsorship news we'll be sharing later the week and some waitlist action as well.

More to come!

UPDATE - So were at nearly 100 registered players. The only potential changes to divisions would be FA3. If we don’t see that reach 5 competitors by April 1 we’ll reduce that cap to 4 players. ... show more ›

UPDATE - So were at nearly 100 registered players.

The only potential changes to divisions would be FA3. If we don’t see that reach 5 competitors by April 1 we’ll reduce that cap to 4 players.

The first waitlist capped(4) AM division will get those 4 slots.

NEXT UPDATE - no later than April 1, 2019.

UPDATE - March 15, 2019

Amateur Divisions:

We didn't even have registration opened a week and we've nearly capped our Amateur divisions. That is pretty amazing. We've got a few notes on a few key divisions

Waitlists:

Each division has a 4 person waitlist. In the event your preferred division is capped please consider joining the waitlist. We're two months out from the event. There is a chance some slots will open.

The Waitlist fee is $25. In the event, you're not promoted to the registered player's list:

You'll be offered one of our awesome Hot Stamped tournament discs OR a full refund on the $25.

Closed Divisions:

MA3 - Mixed Amateur Recreational - closed
We love our rec division, but MA4 has seen a huge influx of players from all over the province, so we're going to see where this takes us. MA2 will take all the rec sandbaggers happily :)


FA4 - Women's Only Novice - closed
FA2 and FA3 have generated interest early. We'd like to see those two divisions fill up so to provide more competition in fewer divisions.

Our Amateur Divisions will receive email communications before March 30 regarding a number of terrific activities happening over the weekend.

NEXT UPDATE - SUNDAY MARCH 17, 2019

UPDATE -

Divisions:

Open Divisions --

MP60 has been changed to MP55.

Mixed AM Divisions --

MA1 - There is a waitlist, that waitlist will be added to the registered list Friday. After Friday we will open the waitlist up again for 4 MA1 Players. I can't see us going deeper than 28 MA1 players this year.

MA3 is likely to be removed due to the high interest in the MA1, MA2, and MA4 Divisions, and the spread of attendees from all over the province. The Alberta Open strives to provide as many divisions as possible, but at one point we need to make a decision.

Women's Only Divisions --

I've removed FA4 in order to help provide more competitors for our Women's Rec, Intermediate, and Advanced divisions. If I get enough players to fill the allotted caps I'll be happy to either add slots to popular divisions or re-add FA4 to accommodate a future influx of requests.

Growing engagement with our women disc golfers is very important to the Alberta Open, but we also want to keep it competitive for our committed players. Obviously, reach out to Lobo directly if you have any suggestions.

Next Update - FRIDAY MARCH 15, 2019 - 9AM
