I submitted a refund request quite a few days back as I will be unable to attend due to something out of my control but haven't heard back yet.
SteelerDoug Kroll July 7 at 7:29pm
Still on the players list even though I notified you 5 days ago unable to play.
Reason
---------------
I would like to cancel and be removed from the registration list. Medical - Dr advises not to play due to severe plantar fasciitis.
Kindly refund what is allowed.
Thank you.

How does the flex start at Ewing work tomorrow. Is everyone registered for the tournament allowed to show up + play, or is it a completely separate tournament?
Norbert Sarsfield
July 6 at 6:56pm
It is a separate flex start C Tier you need to register for. You do not have to be registered for the DMC to register for the Ewing flex start. (I’m just a player; not part of the TD crew).

If I withdraw, will I still get a full refund?

Yes I will need to withdraw. I will go head and take care of that now, thank you for the quick response! M
Evan Huemoeller July 5 at 1:52am

***Please note*** The Des Moines Metro Disc Golf Club will be using payout slips for AMATEUR payouts for the Des Moines Challenge. We will not have your payouts on our store credit sheet. Make sure to pick up your payout slips at Pickard after your final round!

Sent a refund request due to me getting into the open event. Thank you

Question about the "island" on hole 18 of Ewing. Play as an island. Disc must come to rest on the island from the tee. If your disc does not come to rest on the island, re-tee. From the short tees, the shot is 398. The island is not shown in the caddy book. Just how big is the island? What if you never reach the island?
Matt Schlabach
June 30 at 4:28pm
The Island is huge! Its basically the entire hole. The tee pad is just on the other side of the walk path which is about 20 feet away. If you don't land on the island, it is the worst disc golf throw known to man lol.

That sounds like a challenge Matt. :) Thanks for the clarification

Do we get to spectate the pros as being part of the am event?
Nick Miller
June 24 at 4:37pm
Yes, I believe every Am is receiving a 3-day GA pass in the player pack.
Ty Tannatt
June 27 at 2:56pm
Yes, all participants on this side of the event get a free 3-day GA pass. It will be emailed to you.

Unfortunately I need to withdraw from the tournament.
Damon Henry June 22 at 1:51pm
Are caddies allowed?
David Dyer SimuL8Nist June 17 at 2:57am
Am I miss reading this 10$ to enter? Or is that waitlist fee and more?
Joe Thompson
June 17 at 1:31pm
It's $10 to get on the waitlist. Then if you do happen to secure a spot, you'll have to pay the rest of the entry fee.
Ty Tannatt
June 27 at 2:56pm
$10 is to get on the waitlist. It's $100+ to enter depending on the division you enter.
Keirstyn Davis May 25 at 2:45pm
I see there is like no am women signed up. If I signed up for the fa1 waitlist, would I get in? Or is it totally full?
Ty Tannatt
May 26 at 12:25am
Hi Keirstyn, this side of the event is completely full. There are currently 10 people on the waitlist for the pool you would need to enter to get into FA1. I doubt 10 people will drop out of this event with how close we are, but it is certainly possible. It only costs $10 to sign up for the waitlist and you get your $10 back if you do not get bumped from the waitlist into the tournament.
Nick Miller May 17 at 6:37pm
Is everything still set in place for Am divisions, with MPO now playing the DGPT event? I assume we don't need to watch for any new registration?
Travis Almond April 20 at 2:09am
Signed up for intermediate, but would rather play MA40. Any way I can switch?
Ty Tannatt
May 12 at 11:30am
Hi Travis, if you switch you would be moved to the waitlist for the MA40 pool since it is full. There are already 9 people on the waitlist on that pool so you may not get in if you wish to switch.
Aaron Palmer April 4 at 6:26pm
How soon prior to the tournament will people on the waitlist know they are getting in? Or is it a, show up Friday and hope that some people don’t show up? I am not privy to how the waitlist works.
Jim Knudson Ty Tannatt
April 6 at 7:15pm
Hi Aaron, we are still finalizing this. This is not a show up Friday and hope people don't show up kind of tournament. We will most likely finalize the pools the Wednesday of the event. Any cancellations after that will not be filled due to time constraints with everything going on.
Keirstyn Davis April 3 at 1:45am
If I sign up for the fa1 waitlist, will I get in?
Ty Tannatt
April 5 at 2:31pm
Hi Keirstyn, if you sign up for FA1 you will be 7th on the waitlist. That means 7 people would have to cancel their registration in order for you to get in. If you don't get in then you will get a full refund minus any DGS servicing fees. Please let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions.
Truc Nguyen March 8 at 5:22pm
Hi TD's,
Can you move me from MP40 to AM40?
Thank you,

March 11 at 6:25pm
Hi Truc, I emailed you back but haven't gotten a response. You can change the division yourself, or I can, but I need to know your t-shirt size in order to do so. Thank you.
Casey Everett February 11 at 11:48pm
It says Pool C is short tees and Pool D is long tees. Is that right or a mix up?
Eric Dochterman Ty Tannatt
February 17 at 10:33pm
Hi Casey, sorry for taking so long to respond. Pool C (MA2) is playing all short tees. MA2 has always played the short tees in the Challenge. Pool D is a mixture - (All long tees where applicable for MP40, MP50, MP55, MP60) (All short tees where applicable for all other divisions - FP40, MA40, MA50, MA55, MA60, MA65, FA40, FA50, FA1, and FA2 )
Got you removed and refunded. Thank you.
