Dynamic Discs - Trilogy discs
Pathlight Brewing - B61 Mosaic
DZDiscs - Payout
Dynamic Discs - Kansas City - Payout
Dgnomad - Trophies
Charles Mertes - Artwork
Jack Lowe - Ice

Thanks to Jim Kreeger, Dan Cashen, Drew D. Neitzel, Mark A Schmitz, Michael Babbitt, and Kansas City, MO Parks and Recreation for a beautiful course.

Thanks to my wife and assistant tournament director Elisabeth Borg-Bowman, who ran check in and did all the shopping for the food that was available amongst other things. She also supports me when she knows I want to do something, and doesn't complain when I "lose" (spend?) money.

Payouts have been posted to Disc Golf Scene, link below.
All payouts have been sent, aside from a couple (Courage Davis and Kevin Corbett).
I have ordered the request Am payouts from DZ Discs - I'm sure Galen Adams will get to them when he has a moment.
The spreadsheet for Am payouts at DDKC has been sent, and again I'm sure Josh Harvey will get to it when he can. DDKC payouts are good through the end of the year, then I'll settle up with Josh.

Thank you all for attending and enjoying the beautiful fall day with me and Liz at Blue Valley Park!

The weather promises to be glorious tomorrow. So, I am making an executive decision to move the tournament to 10 minute tee times. Doing this allows all amateur players currently on the waitlist to be added to the tournament - I overordered, no surprise, so all Am players will receive a player's pack. Registration is effectively closed, as we are 8 players over "capacity." The first tee time will be at 8 AM, the last tee time will be at 1 PM. See you tomorrow at the Bride of Big Blue Monster!

I have been getting questions about the waitlist. Here is some information:

The amateur side capped at 75 players. The event has a current cap of 108 players, though technically I could add pro players. Why? Because amateur players get player's packs, and I have a certain number of player's packs available. The event therefore caps at 75 for amateurs.

If an amateur drops (and I do not care which division), I'll add an amateur from the waitlist in the order they are currently in.

What does this mean for refunds? Because I have a waitlist, if an entered Am drops before 5:30 p.m. Friday, he or she will receive a full refund, as I have a ready replacement on the waitlist. Why 5:30 p.m.? Because at that time, registration will officially close, I will refund everyone who is on the waitlist, and the waitlist will be no more.

If an amateur player notifies me that he/she is withdrawing after 5:30 p.m., but prior to 8 a.m. Saturday, he/she will receive 25% back. Tournament no-shows will receive nothing.

Pro players who withdraw prior to Friday at 5:30 p.m. will receive a full refund, and pro players who withdraw after 5:30 but before 8:00 a.m. will receive 25% back.

This policy is in accordance with PDGA guidelines, and is actually quite a bit nicer than what the PDGA requires. Please note, after 5:30 p.m. Friday, TO OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW, YOU MUST CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL OR PHONE (TEXT). Contacting me via FB messenger, DGS messages and so on are not guaranteed to count! Of course, until registration closes, you may request a refund/withdrawal via Disc Golf Scene.

After the waitlist has been purged, if there are withdrawals, I will post a notice there has been a withdrawal and the time slot available to the Facebook event page and the comments in Disc Golf Scene. If someone wants to fill that spot, message me via text or email. It will be first come first served.

See you Saturday for the Bride of Big Blue Monster!

We would like to thank our partners for this event, Eagle Products and Dynamic Discs!
Amateur player packs will include a shirt or hoodie and a disc. Why? Because I'm an idiot and that's what I want to do.

For amateurs that sign up on or before 8 pm on October 20, your shirt will be upgraded to a lightweight hoodie. If you sign up after October 20, you'll get a long sleeve t shirt, but no guarantee that the size will be correct... I have to get the order in to Eagle Products well ahead of the event. Sign up sooner rather than later! If for some reason you'd prefer a long sleeve to a hoodie, please put that in the notes.

The PP will also include a disc from our friends at Dynamic Discs. Discs are hard to come by this year, but DD is able to work with us on this one.

I'm even going to have a few TFR discs for sale. I'll announce that soon.

Last, thanks to Dan Cashen and KC Parks & Rec, who are scheduled to do some work at Blue Valley Park prior to the event to get it ready for The Bride of Big Blue Monster.
