Wow, that was insane! We knew it would sell out pretty quickly, but it filled up in less than a minute plus another 70+ people on the waitlist! Sorry to anyone who did not get in or experienced any technical issues. We can't control the processing system. We decided to close online registration because the waitlist was already so massive (most of those people will not get in either), so there's no point in adding more. If you were charged full price to be on the waitlist, your entry fe ... more

Hi Gavin, you were promoted from the waitlist and officially invited to register within 48-hours. We provided 2 emails with direct link to sign-up and pay the associated registration fee, however, we did not receive your registration payment within the 48-hours, and have a lot of players waiting t ... more

I'm bummed, man. I can't make it so I have to withdraw from MA3. Have a great Tournament everybody; there is always next year.

Sorry you can't make it - hopefully we'll see you next year! #throwhelix

Hey Guys, really cool to see the tourney sell out that fast. Whole Lotta Bert love! Unfortunately, since I've moved out to the country I have slow spotty internet so the quick sellouts are not possible for me to get into. I would still love to come down and help out spotting or whatever. Let me know if you need any help.
Thanks,
Chris Calleton

Hey Chris, I'm sorry you were not able to get in. We would be happy to have you there and could easily find something for you to do. If someone is a no-show, we would be able to add you from the waitlist. This will be an annual tournament, and we hope to make it a 2-day event next year, so we can accommodate more players. Keeping Bert's legacy into the future of Disc Golf!

Cool, I'm down to help out any way I can.

I'm #2 on the waitlist. Currently registered for MA1. If a spot opens for another division that I'm eligible for, will I have the option to take that spot?

Sorry, we decided to close online registration because there was already a 75+ player waitlist for a 72-player event! It filled up insanely quick and there's no point in adding to the waitlist that is already stacked. Sorry for your inconvenience. We knew it would fill quickly, but this was absolutely insane!

Keith Lindsey   February 20, 2021 at 3:50am

Sorry, wrong response to your inquiry. If a spot opens up, you should get an email from DGS with a limited timeframe to sign up. YOu should be able to select an alternate division at that point. If not, let us know and we can manually switch divisions as long as you are eligible. THanks!

ELIJAH SMITH   February 20, 2021 at 4:35am

Thank you Keith!

Signed up right at 7...was charged full price for Intermediate but was put on waitlist....other waitlist registrations are showing a reduced price???

Same

Keith Lindsey   February 20, 2021 at 3:52am

Shane, I think some people got charged full price instead of the $5 waitlist fee because the system was processing so many registrations at once. If it doesn't refund automatically, we will refund your fees manually and you would then pay again if you got in from the waitlist. There is a ton we ... more

Andy Rotolo    February 20, 2021 at 3:05am

Registered immediately at 7 and ended up on a waitlist. Any plans to increase the size of the field or will refunds be issued to wait listers? How does that work?

Was also charged full price 65$ for waitlist

Thank you! Excited for the tournament

Mark Hauser   February 20, 2021 at 7:00pm

From what you are saying I am assuming that the course is not generally set up (passing through March 7-8)?

Jon Berg   February 23, 2021 at 1:51am

Yeah, sorry Mark. It is a temporary course as of now. We will be setting it up on March 13th and the day before the tournament, on April 2nd.

Burton Rivera    February 12, 2021 at 3:24pm

Sorry I am pointing it out… no such thing as a “first annual”, it would be called a “inaugural” tournament. Can’t be 1st annual since it has never happened:) can’t wait to sign up and play.

You can wait for the 2nd Annual one next year if you are that concerned with the semantics. : )

Steve Kidwell    February 10, 2021 at 3:43am

When will registration begin. Website shows Feb. 18th, but no one is registered.

Keith Lindsey   February 12, 2021 at 4:59pm

18th is early registration for eligible hole sponsors (sold out) and then 19th will be open registration for everyone else.
