MVP Disc Sports Presents: Basket Bashers Amateur Tour - UNC

Spence Hutcheson

Funny enough, I found it. Only has 1 airpod in it. Will turn it in when round is finished.

Logan Staton

I have it at TC

Bryce Kemp

That’s them! Thank you for turning them in! I just walked the course looking for them and didn’t see yours but will keep an eye out for them.

Logan Staton

Correct we will now be playing the same layout twice. Yes the bottom lot is next to hole 1. The course is currently marked and flagged so that it is practicable but we will be at another event on Saturday so the baskets will not be set up until Sunday morning. Cheers.

Evan Kirk

Can’t please everyone, obviously.

Logan Staton

I can issue you a refund if you’d like.

Matthew Rushing

The tourney was advertised as 18 holes on the UNC course, so we signed up with that expectation. Now 4 of the best holes are 8 putter shots.

Trevor Robinson

Calm down and just wait 8 more days. https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/UNC_Flex_Start_3_2023

Matthew Rushing

Neat, but some of us have to work on week days.

Spence Hutcheson

Kinda have to agree, would've been nice to play the course I practiced for. But appreciate all the work everyone is doing though

Adam Luthman

So this tournament filled in 5 minutes. I'm sure you would have a different opinion if you were one of the 20 extra people brought into the event by the expansion. The Tar Heel open will be June 3-4 if you still aren't happy, and that tournament will be the standard 18 hole layout. Finally ... more

So this tournament filled in 5 minutes. I'm sure you would have a different opinion if you were one of the 20 extra people brought into the event by the expansion. The Tar Heel open will be June 3-4 if you still aren't happy, and that tournament will be the standard 18 hole layout. Finally, if you really don't like the way a tournament is being run, feel free to step up and run one yourself. That way you can do things your way and live with the decisions. Let me tell you its way more work than you can imagine, but the offer is there. Reach out to me and I'll talk you through all the legal hoops of using UNCs course, registering with PDGA, organizing 100 people who always have some gripe with the tournament staff, etc. TDing is often a thankless job except for the rare person who mentions how much they appreciate the work we do. I stand behind Logan and if you are seriously this displeased, there are 8 people on the waitlist who would be happy to have your spot.

Caley Allen

^^^^ Well said Adam Luthman!!!

Matthew Rushing

Everyone who signed up on time paid for one thing and are getting a lesser product, so I am compelled to voice my disappointment. The interest in this tourney is a testament to the course, and any potential modifications should have been outlined prior to registration.

Logan Staton

And again I'm happy to issue you a refund sense you feel that you're receiving a lesser product. However, the benefits of expanding the tournament far surpassed the negatives which is why the decision was made.

And again I'm happy to issue you a refund sense you feel that you're receiving a lesser product. However, the benefits of expanding the tournament far surpassed the negatives which is why the decision was made. Nobody could have predicted that the tournament would draw the amount of interest that it did. The "interest" that this tourney drew is in part due to the course, but is also in fact due to the fact that this is an established points series, one of which has been wildly successful thus far and one that each tour stop has filled with multiple people on the waitlist each time. Perhaps, its the 100% of net entry fee goes to payout, 75% of the field gets paid out instead of the suggested 45% per the PDGA, maybe its the massive prize pack that the champion of each division receives at the end of the series, maybe its the nearly $700 being donated to the UNC Disc Golf Team. You have well stated your displeasure, you have the option of showing up and playing anyway OR receiving a full refund. After all there are 7 people on the waitlist who are VERY hopeful to get in. Just as there were 20 people earlier this week who were VERY hopeful and grateful for the expansion. I will be issuing refunds to the remainder of the waitlisted people tonight at 9pm. Once that happens refunds will only be given if someone takes your spot in the event. If you're still wanting to participate in the event then we will see you Sunday. Sorry for your displeasure, cheers.

Austin Smith

If Matthew elects for the refund, I’m currently on the waitlist for MA2 but more than happy to fill his MA1 spot. Thanks for the hard work

Trey Jeffords

I hate to see someone be so negative. Everyone is here to play golf and have a good time. If you can't have that attitude maybe don't sign up for tournaments

Logan Staton

There is no ticketed parking on weekends

Logan Staton

Check in 8:15-8:45. Players meeting @ 8:45. Tee at 9

Logan Staton

Ive sent out multiple emails. When you registered you entered your email as [email redacted]. If that is not correct than please let me know what it is. Thank yo

Brandon Blindt

that is correct and weird as none have come through. I check my spam folder as well can you send me 1 last time thanks

Logan Staton

Just sent an email out

Brandon Blindt

I never got email?

Logan Staton

All amateur tour events with the exception of the finale are 1 day 2 round shotgun starts

Logan Staton

Just 3. 18 will play from its normal teepad both rounds.

Logan Staton

Just got you switched - thank you!

Angelo Iovino

The course has changed. Hole 10 plays to 12's old basket (making 10 a dog leg right now). Hole 11's tee is where 10's previous basket was. Hole 11 is straight down 12's old fairway and throws to 12's old teepad. Cross the street to the new Hole 12. Hole 12's new teepad is near where the basket of 11 used to be, and throws to the old teepad of 11.

Dustin Johnson

Awesome. So we played it right. Thanks!!

Adam Luthman

Thanks Angelo! He nailed everything here. we just put this new layout in last weekend and it will be the tournament layout going forward (for both the Basket Basher's event and for the Tar Heel Open this year.

Andrew Walker

I will be traveling from over an hour away, will these layouts be clearly marked/flagged the week of this event?

John Byers

Is the correct layout in Udisc yet? I will be playing this new layout blind on tournament day and would love to be able to see some of it on paper at least before getting there.

Trevor Robinson

It does not look like holes 10-12 have been updated on UDisc yet.

Dustin Johnson

10 and 11 appeared to be correct (if I remember correctly) we didn’t notice it being incorrect when we played it. 12 and 13 were not right but signs lead us accordingly

Adam Luthman

The Udisc course layout has been updated. Everything should be accurate now (except it still has hole 12 listed as a par 4 when the new hole 12 is actually a par 3). Working to get that changed now as well.
