Thanks for hosting a great tournament! This was my first ever, and won't be my last. Thanks also to Scott and Chris for being great round-mates!

Lots of stuff going on in terms of lane closures. I will probably be there more like 12:45

All: check in will be at the pavilion near the baseball fields. Use the baseball field parking lot.

I have a pair of hand warmers for each player.

Does anyone know the distance from the tee on the over the lake hole to the shore?
How far do we need to throw to stay out of the water.
I will be throwing left handed as my right arm is sore.

We will not be throwing over water.

Charlie Tupitza   November 12, 2021 at 8:51pm

Dang

Charlie Tupitza   November 17, 2021 at 1:51am

I may have to cancel do to work

Mike Sullivan    November 8, 2021 at 2:41pm

Hi, everyone! Because the sun will set at 4:53, we are going to tee off at 1:30pm. I've also shortened the layout for the daytime round. This might mean we have a long dinner break.

It will likely be cold; please plan to dress in layers!

Since the date of this event moved, do you want to re-open sign up? as it stands, it's closed for registration

Mike Sullivan   October 28, 2021 at 12:08pm

Done!

Mike Foxwell    October 27, 2021 at 9:03pm

Hey Mike,
Unfortunately I need to withdraw, I have the Shenandoah Shag the next morning on the 20th so I would be worthless if I tried to do both LOL

All;

The weather outlook has gone from "yuck" to "yikes." Potential for lightning is there basically for the entire event, which is both unsafe and could lead to a wet, cold, incomplete tournament. Franklin Park has not mandated that we postpone the event, but greatly prefers, for safety reasons, that we do so.

Therefore, the event is postponed to Friday, November 19. This date already has been confirmed by State Coordinator Bob Cannon, and the PDGA is moving the eve ... more

Dang what a bummer!! But definitely get it and it's the safe move

Scott King   October 29, 2021 at 1:25am

Sweet, now I can make it. Good warmup for Shag!

Steve Ganz   October 29, 2021 at 3:29pm

Thanks, dude. It's nasty out there.

Justin Laughlin    October 27, 2021 at 2:25pm

I need to drop from this event, sorry Fred.

Layouts look awesome. Wonder if 12 will actually be a pond on Friday !

Mike Sullivan   October 27, 2021 at 12:56pm

Water rises rapidly there, so it's definitely a concern.

Kevin moore    October 27, 2021 at 8:43am

I thought it was white to yellow day and red to yellow Night? Are you guys posting play pack pics? :)

Is the “day round” layout on UDisc accurate?

Scott King   November 18, 2021 at 6:01pm

Asking because it’s different than the paper scorecard posted as a pic here

Mike Sullivan   November 18, 2021 at 6:05pm

The tournament is not using UDisc. The paper scorecard is correct.

Mike Sullivan    October 27, 2021 at 4:30am

Layouts are up. Please note that there will be much less OB than usual.

Mike Foxwell   October 27, 2021 at 6:19am

less OB....I like the sound of that!!????

Danny Cherlow   October 27, 2021 at 11:12am

Will be lot safer on some of those field holes woohoo

Scott King    October 26, 2021 at 10:15pm

Could I withdraw please? A family commitment came up, sorry.

Charlie Tupitza    October 24, 2021 at 11:12pm

I and others are excited about this event! Thanks
I see a good chance for rain and hope we don’t cut this off or short!
It has been an unreal summer with little rain.
Bringing extra cloths rain gear and discs towels!
No such thing as bad weather just bad cloths. ;)

Given the pattern of past rain forecasts this year, I expect the precipitation to be pushed into the weekend. That said, unless there's lightning, we're playing.

Charlie Tupitza   October 26, 2021 at 8:34pm

Looking better

Charlie Tupitza   October 26, 2021 at 8:34pm

wind dying down at noon

Blake Bennett    September 26, 2021 at 12:01am

a friend of mine is probably gonna caddie for me for this event, would we have to pay extra for dinner or just have to get something else? or will there be extra food there. i know it's a long way out so don't need an answer this soon too if you don't know.

Mike Sullivan   September 26, 2021 at 12:56am

There will be enough food for your caddie.

Chris Bleiler    September 8, 2021 at 8:44pm

Excited for the tournament, but have never played Franklin. I have heard there is construction that will change some of the holes. Is there an updated layout on Udisc I can use when I go to practice?
THanks

Is there a set layout yet? Would like to get in some practice soon. Thanks, Sully!

Mike Sullivan   October 26, 2021 at 9:11pm

The layouts for both day and glow rounds are on UDisc.

Mike Sullivan   October 26, 2021 at 9:11pm

Email later tonight with details. We will be playing very minimal OB.

Jarnail Bajwa    August 31, 2021 at 2:43pm

Will both rounds be rated?

Permalink
Mike Sullivan   August 31, 2021 at 2:55pm

Yes, both rounds will be rated. The second round will be on a short layout with discs and baskets illuminated.

Andrew Hibl    August 26, 2021 at 3:16pm

This sounds like fun! The registration date keeps changing, which makes me worry that this might not happen.

Is this going to happen or should we sign up for Raptors Roost Open before it fills up?

We can not make Friday, unfortunately

Mike Sullivan   August 28, 2021 at 9:18pm

Yep, I had planned to make the announcement on Monday, prior to registration opening on Tuesday. Thanks for the reminder!

Mike Sullivan   August 28, 2021 at 9:18pm

I'm sorry that you can't make it. I was not excited to move the tournament, but it's the nature of a multi-use park that sometimes you run into unavoidable conflicts.
