As an MDGO board member I may be able to help answer or clarify this. Northern Waters Series was allocated the 6 berths this year that Marc has said they are awarding at this tournament. How they are allocated is completely up to NWS and their staff. The only stipulation is that they must be won in competition. Northwoods Disc Chuckers and NWS are separate entities. Each may have berths allocated to them based on yearly request. NWS and Northwoods Disc Chuckers have consistently awarded and reported their berths without fault for as long as they have requested them. And being what I believe is the oldest consecutive running tournament series, that is a significant amount of time. The MDGO is the only group that handles Michigan State Championship berths. The PDGA does not deal with them.

There are some first come, first served type camp sites in the surrounding TC area...no reservations but it's an option. I don't remember the names of all of them but there are 1 or 2 sites near Arbutus/Spider Lake area.

a second course (Myles Kimmerly) will have to be used. The city of Traverse City had originally approved us for getting both courses in well before the event date, but red tape has slowed their park plans up a couple months. It was almost possible for us to get the second course in by June 23, but we don't want to throw a half-assed course up for an A-Tier. We also want to have the course(s) ready in plenty of time for people to practice

Yes, and it will be different next year too. They are doing a ton of construction on a new lodge on the park road right where 24's basket used to be, so that entire has been made off-limits for the rest of this year.
