Hey Jason, I am trying to get to Bethel on Friday morning to get a feel for the course. I have never played there before and I don't really want to play blind on Saturday. Are we able to play the layout for the tourney on Friday? Also if I am able to practice that layout then is there a reference point for me to know where to throw. Thanks.

Greg Barber May 12, 2021 at 2:04pm

The tournament layout is in UDisc. I am not sure if all baskets are in the correct position, but I imagine they are. You should be fine to get in for a practice round, just check in at the gate. It’s an amazing and very tough course, I would definitely recommend getting at least one practice round in.

Jason Wilder May 12, 2021 at 2:56pm

Hi Ryan. The course is currently in the tourney layout and the OB is painted and flagged on holes 7 and 10. UDisc is fairly accurate in terms of the flow, but I need to get out there and update the exact locations and distances. You are absolutely welcome to practice the course. As far as reference points to know where to throw, that will have to be part of your prep :P

Ryan Biller May 13, 2021 at 1:44pm

Thank you guys. Appreciate the feedback.

Matthew K May 12, 2021 at 12:50pm

Hello, when I registered for the waitlist I did not have a ranking but now I am not able to enter the recreational division because my ranking is above 900. Is there a way I could move into the intermediate division or still play in the recreational division?

The PDGA allows a grace period when there is a ratings update right before an event. You can still play MA3

Matthew K May 12, 2021 at 1:51pm

Thank you, since it would not let me complete the registration confirmation, am I still completely registered? PDGA # 133787

Jason Wilder May 12, 2021 at 2:58pm

You are registered and free to stay in the MA3 division for this weekend.

Jeremy Gross May 14, 2021 at 4:18pm

Nate Ferriere was talking this morning about wanting to get into Rec. Maybe its possible to move these two if they both still want to switch.

Matt Himple May 11, 2021 at 3:53pm

For those not on Facebook, here's the pin locations:

"[...] For [this] event, the BIRDIE Battle, I want people to have a chance at birdies."

2 will play short
3 will still play long
5 will play long
10 will play short/right for all divisions but MPO and MA1
15 will be split into two holes
15A will play to the visible basket
15B will play from the service road up and to the left to normal 15 long
16 is short
18 is long for everyone except women and juniors

Chris Yanta May 10, 2021 at 7:08pm

Hi Jason, Just wondering if there will be an OB list coming out? Thanks

Jason Wilder May 10, 2021 at 7:22pm

Absolutely.

Edward Oakes April 30, 2021 at 1:55am

Hey Jason, is it possible to get switched to MA1 waitlist or do I need to re-register? Something came up and Saturday doesn’t work for me anymore.

Jason Wilder April 30, 2021 at 2:46am

You'll need to request a refund and re-register unfortunately as they are two separate events

Peter Deuth April 24, 2021 at 1:03am

Is MA2 playing from the "long" tee with the bricks next to it on hole 18? (I heard that generally people didn't use that one, so I just wanted to double check.) Thanks!

Jason Wilder April 24, 2021 at 2:20am

If you are referring to the tee at the bottom of the hill, that is actually the short tee and noone will be using that tee. The portable restrooms will be located there.

Peter Deuth April 24, 2021 at 12:56pm

Thanks for the clarification!

Aidan Wilmet March 16, 2021 at 2:08pm

Hey Jason are the juniors playing from the short tees?

Jason Wilder March 16, 2021 at 2:26pm

yes

Eric Ziebarth March 14, 2021 at 11:41pm

Will I automatically moved from waitlist to registered player? Do I just show up on tourney day and hope for the best? Not sure how the waitlist works.

Jason Wilder March 15, 2021 at 12:16am

Hi Eric. You will be informed via email prior to the event if/when you are promoted from the waitlist. If you do not make it into the event, you will be given a full refund less a $5 waitlist fee.

Eric Ziebarth March 15, 2021 at 3:20am

Cool. Thanks Jason.

Brandon Jasperson March 3, 2021 at 2:18am

Hey Jason I requested a refund because i was waitlisted but I was moved to the registration list from the waitlist so just in case, I am good to go to play and do not want to be refunded now.

Ben Schmidt March 3, 2021 at 2:07am

What happens if it charged me the full amount but I ended up on the waitlist

Jason Wilder March 3, 2021 at 2:12am

If you end up not getting in the event, your entry will be refunded less a $5 waitlist fee.

Jason Lucht April 26, 2021 at 9:39am

Hello, why is there a waitlist fee? Thanks

Jason Wilder April 27, 2021 at 3:57am

The biggest reason is it prevents people from adding their names to waitlists to a bunch of events just hoping to get in to one. There is also an amount of administrative time involved in managing registration and it is a small way to compensate TD's for the time they spend doing the behind the scenes work.

Peter Deuth March 3, 2021 at 2:01am

Wow

took 23s for MA2 to fill by my watch. Glad I got in but that's gross; feel bad for everyone that didn't

Chris Yanta March 3, 2021 at 2:06am

Jason, is it possible that MA2 might let a few others in, or is it a hard cap at 30?

Colin Ducklow March 3, 2021 at 2:09am

I forgot to pre-enter my phone number and my heart started racing lol

Peter Deuth March 3, 2021 at 2:28am

My PayPal glitched out and wouldn't let me enter my email address which cost me a whole 15 seconds.. : (

Thomas Oswald March 2, 2021 at 2:01am

Doesnt it open at 8?

Kyle Livingood March 2, 2021 at 2:04am

March 2nd (tomorrow) it does - The Basset Creek Tourney registration is tonight.

Thomas Oswald March 2, 2021 at 2:10am

Yep Bassett was what I was attempting. I scrolled to fast and saw the logo didn't read the name ????

Colin Ducklow February 19, 2021 at 2:27am

WHAT tournament is full 26 minutes after registration opened!? Tragic :(

How do I join the waitlist?

Jason Wilder February 19, 2021 at 4:01am

The waitlist will open after the event opens to the general public.

Chris Yanta February 20, 2021 at 12:53am

when does the event open to the general public? i think i remember seeing that it was March 2nd, but I cant find it anymore

Jason Wilder February 20, 2021 at 12:55am

March 2 is correct. 8PM CST

Jason Wilder February 20, 2021 at 12:55am

And Colin Ducklow, only the pre-reg spots are full. 67% of the spots for the event will be open to the public on Mar 2

Colin Ducklow February 21, 2021 at 5:58pm

Gotcha, I'll give it a shot on the next round. Thanks!

Kevin Phillips February 19, 2021 at 2:04am

Filled out reg right at 8:00 and didn't get in?

Ben Parnell February 19, 2021 at 2:14am

Yea it's crazy right now. Gotta have everything pre-filled and have your PayPal setup for almost-instant processing.

Chris Yanta February 18, 2021 at 3:53am

I noticed that the CTPs for this tournament are cash. How will placement payouts work? Is it cash or store credit? Thanks

Jason Wilder February 18, 2021 at 2:11pm

Straight CASH

Greg Barber February 17, 2021 at 2:03am

Still not allowing registrations...

Looks like the registration date got changed to the 18th (Thursday). Don't know why that changed so suddenly.

Ben Parnell February 17, 2021 at 2:52am

I knew I wasn't crazy... Had the 18th on the calendar, then see it's the 16th so I move the reminder, then back to the 18th.

Jason Wilder February 17, 2021 at 3:19am

I had it for the 16th, but when I emailed all the tag holders, I said the 18th. So to be fair to all the people that read that email, I pushed it to the later date.

Cody Goodlin February 17, 2021 at 3:39am

How does registering work when youre a tag holder? Anything special we need to do? Didnt see anything different from a normal registration under the register tab

Jason Wilder February 17, 2021 at 4:08am

All tag holders will be added to the "invitation list" and only those players will have access to register on Thursday night. You don't need to do anything special.

Ben Parnell February 17, 2021 at 2:31pm

How do I get on that email list? I have a tag (wife bought 2) but haven't gotten any emails

Jason Wilder February 17, 2021 at 2:37pm

Ben, it looks like she listed the same email address for both tags. If you can email me at [email redacted] with your email address, I can make sure to get it added to your record. In the mean time, she has received the emails I referred to and can hopefully share them with you.

Christopher Streed February 18, 2021 at 5:35am

Hey Jason, do you mind if I send you an email as well? I never received that email.

Jason Wilder February 18, 2021 at 2:11pm

Please do Christopher Streed

Shawn Vanderwerf February 19, 2021 at 2:33am

Can you check if I’m on the list as well?

Jason Wilder February 19, 2021 at 4:01am

Yes Shawn

Shawn Vanderwerf February 19, 2021 at 3:26pm

Thanks.

David Bajari January 27, 2021 at 1:10pm

I know there are a few holes with 2 baskets. Will MA2 be playing longs? Or should I sign up for MA1 if I want that? I’m thinking of hole 15 specifically. Thanks for your time!

Jason Wilder January 27, 2021 at 5:56pm

The only divisions playing anything in the short position or short tees is the Womens and Junior divisions.
