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.

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?
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

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?
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?
Yes, I believe every Am is receiving a 3-day GA pass in the player pack.
Yes, all participants on this side of the event get a free 3-day GA pass. It will be emailed to you.

Are caddies allowed?
David Dyer June 17, 2021 at 2:57am
Am I miss reading this 10$ to enter? Or is that waitlist fee and more?
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.
$10 is to get on the waitlist. It's $100+ to enter depending on the division you enter.

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?
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.

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, 2021 at 2:09am
Signed up for intermediate, but would rather play MA40. Any way I can switch?
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, 2021 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.
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.
Kellen Davis April 3, 2021 at 1:45am
If I sign up for the fa1 waitlist, will I get in?
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.

Hi TD's,
Can you move me from MP40 to AM40?
Thank you,
Truc #92142
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.
Thank you for the reply, Can you move me? Also size large T shirt.

It says Pool C is short tees and Pool D is long tees. Is that right or a mix up?
Should be. D is Adv and Open Masters. C is Intermediate to
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.
