Hey Folks - we will be sending out an email on COVID-19 guidance for this event tomorrow. Expect Phase 1, no spectators, no caddies. Final meetings with the team and the park to confirm are today and tomorrow.

Also - players will receive an email with the official 2020 caddy book by Saturday, the day that the course layout will be officially installed.

Thanks!

Mike Dabkowski July 16, 2020 at 6:22pm

Thanks for the update!

How does one register to play the tournament?

Rob Dahmen February 24, 2021 at 2:09pm

This event page was from the 2020 Event. To register for the upcoming 2021 PRO event go here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/DGPT_Discrafts_Great_Lakes_Open_2021 To register for the 2021 AM event go here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Discrafts_Great_Lakes_Open_2021

Mark Stephens February 24, 2021 at 2:22pm

I will add in. To play in either event you would have to be a PDGA member since it is an A tier. To play in the Pro Event, you also would need to have a PDGA rating above 900...

John "NACHO" Norkowski July 25, 2020 at 3:19pm

To any competitors staying east of the course, there are going to be lane closures at the Novi/I-96 interchange.

Hi Folks, So from a volunteer/spotting perspective, am I good packing in a small cooler for lunch and liquids on my cart, or how does that work? Mainly concerned about hydration on a hot day. Thanks in advance, and thank you to all making this event possible!

Mike. We have a document we will be emailing you but yes you can. You will see.

Dwayne Kay July 22, 2020 at 11:09pm

Mark: when will the email be sent?

Dwayne Kay July 22, 2020 at 11:10pm

Also, I spotted this event several years in the past (albeit under a different TD), and seem to recall lunches from Holdens being provided.

Dwayne Kay July 22, 2020 at 11:11pm

Will that no longer be the case, this year? Just trying to plan accordingly.

Mark Stephens July 23, 2020 at 12:17am

No we are still providing lunch. Jacob is having an issue with his laptop at the moment to send that out.

Dwayne Kay July 23, 2020 at 1:07am

Thanks!

Egert Selge July 23, 2020 at 10:52am

Here is a great resource to help you stay up to date with DGLO.https://www.pdga.com/news/how-watch-discrafts-great-lakes-open?fbclid=IwAR18v3PJeoItV6v0G8x5MJ6SmQiUxWZ_j07dord1ni659nRdpkb1qlg0RgA

Tony Muka July 21, 2020 at 7:13pm

not sure if anybody here would have access/contacts, but I noticed the pdga page for the 2020 DGLO links to last years 2019 discgolfscene url instead of the 2020 event...

Good catch. Maybe Nacho can fix it with a request.

Mark Stephens July 21, 2020 at 10:02pm

Honestly, I don’t think the effort is worth it. Nobody can register. The results are unaffected.

Rob Dahmen July 22, 2020 at 11:53am

Mark, The Registration link is correct, its the "Website" that is linking to the 2019 which has information about Spectating, Old OB, an old Schedule, etc. Not just registration. This could be confusing for someone who is not familiar with how 2020 is different. Or was different if someone looks back years from now. I would recommend getting it fixed.

Craig Clingan July 23, 2020 at 3:03pm

It's been fixed.

Mark Stephens July 23, 2020 at 4:36pm

I had done the quick fix of deleting the about section on the 2019 one yesterday.

Tiger Borth July 21, 2020 at 2:01pm

Is the course closed to the public for the entire week starting Monday?

Brandon Johnson July 19, 2020 at 12:09pm

Are they going to level some pads before the tournament?

Brian A Miller July 19, 2020 at 6:30pm

I was wondering that too. 11 is not very flat, it's humped in the middle. That's the one that sticks out to me anyway.

Jacob Stahl July 20, 2020 at 1:34pm

Yes we will definitely be working on Tee Pads this week and continuing to monitor them throughout the event

Tiger Borth July 20, 2020 at 10:29pm

Bring the brooms back.

Jacob Stahl July 21, 2020 at 12:12am

They will be placed out after the course is closed to the public.

Randall Gabriel July 17, 2020 at 11:35pm

What is the closest free or cheap tent camping?

Robert Duff July 18, 2020 at 12:21am

Same

Thomas Szpond July 18, 2020 at 12:54am

Camp Dearborn, Proud Lake, or Highland Rec Area. No idea about any covid restrictions.

Matt Clark July 18, 2020 at 1:15am

Try bishop lake. It’s in Brighton, 20 minutes. Probably cheap. Pretty nice beach too

Dwayne Kay July 18, 2020 at 2:24am

Camo

Nick Ehrlich July 17, 2020 at 4:50am

Is this event open to the public to come and watch?

Mike Burton July 17, 2020 at 5:15am

No

Mark Stephens July 17, 2020 at 12:58pm

No spectators will be allowed due to COVID-19.

Zak Fortuna July 15, 2020 at 6:31pm

Event layout goes in this saturday?

Mark Stephens July 15, 2020 at 7:10pm

Event layout STARTS to goes in this saturday?

John "NACHO" Norkowski July 15, 2020 at 8:13pm

Mark is correct, the goal is to have it all in on Saturday.

Mark Stephens July 14, 2020 at 8:15pm

THE SITE IS NOT ACTIVE NOW. YOU CANNOT REGISTER UNTIL 9PM TONIGHT. YOU CAN LOOK IT OVER AND MAKE AN ACCOUNT ON THE SITE.

At 9:00pm the site will allow volunteers to pick out jobs for the Great Lakes Open. We have spotters, live scoring, and parking assistance.

Additionally, the DGPT is looking for people to assist with setting up the course on Saturday and you can find that on the site as well.

Thanks for everyone’s interest in assisting with this event.

Dwayne Kay July 15, 2020 at 1:04am

Good move automating the sign up. See you Sat the 25th.

Foster Hayes July 21, 2020 at 3:46am

Do you need any extra/standby volunteers in case of no shows?

Mark Stephens July 13, 2020 at 10:26pm

We wanted to give everyone a days notice on this since there has been such large demand. The volunteer portal for DGLO will go live tomorrow at 9pm.

You will be picking your job be it parking assistance, spotting, or doing live scoring for the groups. You can also pick the day and time for them as you like as well.

I will post the portals address here at 9pm tomorrow. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Mark, glad we can all help make it a great event!

Alex Beauchamp July 14, 2020 at 5:20am

thank you, mark. can’t wait to hop on and help out.

Nathan Tarzan Younkin July 20, 2020 at 4:26pm

I'm wanting to volunteer. How do I find this portal? I'd like to know who to contact or where to sign up please. I've been excited for this awesome event

Rob Wagner July 20, 2020 at 5:09pm

Hey Nathaniel, the link is in another post by Mark on the DGLO comments section...

Friday is full, Saturday and Sunday both have only one spot left each.

Zack Coon July 13, 2020 at 12:27pm

I would like to volunteer and help as much as possible.

Jeff Bearss July 13, 2020 at 10:58am

Will the course be open to the general public the Thursday before the tournament?

Rob Wagner July 13, 2020 at 10:59am

I am wondering this as well. What is schedule around tournament for open to play?

Will Goeringer July 13, 2020 at 12:01pm

The tentative closing date is targeted for 7/19/20. The course will be closed for the DGLO the following weekend.

Mark Stephens July 13, 2020 at 2:03pm

It will not be open to the public the Thursday before the event. I

Noah Fiveash July 12, 2020 at 4:17pm

Is there caddy's allowed? This is my son's first DGPT tournament, and I've always said, " I wouldn't miss it for anything". Do I have to eat these words, and hug him good luck?

Mark Stephens July 13, 2020 at 2:04pm

As I stated in the update before, all such direction will be provided by the DGPT to the players.

Don Perella July 14, 2020 at 10:37am

Noah, the volunteer portal is opening up today at 9am. Volunteering will probably be the best way to guarantee that you can be part of the event. I wouldn’t wait too long to sign up because I have seen a lot of interest in helping out.

Noah Fiveash July 14, 2020 at 12:03pm

Thanks...Noah is the player, and I am his dad trying to figure out if the DGPT is letting players have Caddies. I work and I needed to request time off, and I was hoping for a response from the DGPT, so I could ask off work....I am guessing that their still in the process of making the decision.

Mark Stephens July 14, 2020 at 1:25pm

It should be coming soon.

Mark Stephens July 12, 2020 at 12:26am

Ok...

I promised a DGLO update. This up date is for the disc golfing public and not the registered players. All instructions will be upcoming from the DGPT in a few days.

There will be no spectators allowed at DGLO. As much as we would like to have everyone at the Toboggan to watch their favorite professional players with COVID-19 And the state of things in Michigan, that just plain will not be possible. You will not even be able to enter the parking lot where the course is located. ... more

where can I be updated on the volunteer portal when it’s live?

John Cable July 12, 2020 at 2:22am

I think you meant to say “please do NOT come out to spectate.”. Super happy this even is still happening. Where will the online volunteering portal be posted?

Dwayne Kay July 12, 2020 at 4:26am

Thanks for the update, Mark!

Mark Stephens July 12, 2020 at 11:16am

Correct John. I cannot edit posts here sadly. No spectating will be allowed.

Ben Jackson July 12, 2020 at 12:22pm

Alex, The portal will be posted before it's live.

Matt Lacey July 12, 2020 at 5:29pm

Hi Mark. Is there a decision on caddies yet?

Rob Wagner July 12, 2020 at 8:12pm

thanks for the update! we're so sad no spectators, this is going to be such an epic year with all the pros here. but we understand you guys have to make the hard calls. we'll be eagerly watching for the portal

Kyle Ketchabaw July 13, 2020 at 1:04am

Where would the portal be located at?

Mark Stephens July 13, 2020 at 2:02pm

The time and place of the page will be announced when everything is ready to go

Ben Jackson July 13, 2020 at 11:20pm
