Tullin Valdez Apr 22, 2025 Shawn, I figured it out. My email got hacked so I don’t have access to that but digging deeper into the caddy book it’s clarifies the answer to me question. Anyhow, thanks and be well.

Shawn Mercy Apr 22, 2025 Correct, no players meeting in person. We'll send another email with additional guidance and information.
Todd TilVerold Anyone know if the lodging discount is still valid at the Hilton? I just clicked the booking link and the lowest price is around $212… not exactly the $135 as advertised. Apr 22, 2025
Shawn Mercy Apr 22, 2025 I'm guessing the block sold out for those dates. I'd give them a call...
Todd TilVerold Apr 22, 2025 Thx Shawn. I’ll give’em a ring.
Todd TilVerold Apr 23, 2025 Yup, the block sold out.
Arturo Vera I'm just wondering if my son AJ Vera has a chance to get in so I can make plans for this weekend? He is playing in the Juniors and he's the number one on the waiting list. Apr 21, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Apr 21, 2025 We just promoted AJ!
Roger Vartabedian When will remaining spots be filled? Were they all claimed this weekend? Apr 21, 2025
Eric Wonhof Anyone have a pic of hole 6? From the map it looks like a midrange might not fit Apr 21, 2025

Jim davis So being on the Waitlist we have till Thursday nite at 9pm to possibly make it in the tournament ? Iam 1st in my division? Apr 19, 2025
Shawn Mercy Apr 19, 2025 That's correct Jim
Jeff Kiefer Will there be a fly over cam showcasing the holes like you did in previous years. Apr 18, 2025
Edward Elam Apr 19, 2025 They unfortunately ran out of time, setting up the awesome course to ensure an amazing tournament, and were unable to make new hole videos.
Jeff Kiefer Apr 19, 2025 Ahhh ok. That’s unfortunate.
Shawn Mercy Apr 19, 2025 I wish we had a complete set of videos for 2025 but I just couldn't pull it off this year. most of the videos from 2024 still apply though. I added an explanation to the website.
Shawn Mercy We just sent out an email to all who are registered for this event, including those on the waitlist: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR_W_9Oy0MLb8veBjRa0xSioyuZQefAvpCFJZeE8MGemfxofPETrIl1abUX7mOQJGqVj00-VtOGoCmR/pub Apr 18, 2025
Dan Slavec Apr 19, 2025 Not sure if it was just me, but I am registered in MA40 and did not receive a tournament email (checked spam/junk folder too).
Shawn Mercy Apr 20, 2025 Dan, are you on FB? If so, DM me your email.
Mark Hauser When will the remaining 7 waitlist spots plus any late drops be allocated. I have been #1 on the MA60 waitlist for a long time and need to make plans soon! Hope to see you next week. Apr 18, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Apr 19, 2025 See you next week Mark!

Clayton eckstein When will tee times for Friday be available? I just started a new job and they need to know my tee times asap. Also what will the tee time window be for Saturday and Sunday for ma40? Apr 14, 2025
Shawn Mercy Apr 15, 2025 We'll publish pools, tee order, and conservative tee time windows (same all 3 days) in the next day or two.
Andrew Rothschild Apr 15, 2025 Specific tee times for players won't be posted until the Wednesday night before the tournament at the earliest, Thursday midday at the latest.
Clayton eckstein Apr 15, 2025 Thank you both

Jason ward Apr 3, 2025 Ok so just to clarify those attending work party can surpass waitlist? Ex. Waitlist 7 joins work party waitlist 6 doesn’t, waitlist 7 gets in before 6?
Alex Fera Apr 4, 2025 That's how I understand it, yeah

Derek Chessik Was wondering when this years hole layouts will be up? Mar 28, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Mar 30, 2025 We should have that info in the next week or so. Layout planning has taken a bit longer this year because of Champions Cup considerations!

Thor Scordelis When are waitlisters notified? Mar 26, 2025
show 1 earlier comment
Thor Scordelis Apr 2, 2025 Typically when is that? I need to book a non cancellable hotel.
Mark Reynolds-Delaney Apr 2, 2025 When someone drops, which could be literally at any time before the event. So it's not really something you can plan for, you just have to wait and find out
Andrew Rothschild Apr 3, 2025 Mark is correct. We wish we could give more concrete information, but cannot predict when others will drop.
CR Gonzales Hey guys when are the volunteer days. If I work two days I can get into the term is that correct? Mar 21, 2025
Shawn Mercy Mar 21, 2025 Hi CR, info is here: https://tinyurl.com/449nhyd2

Shawn Mercy Mar 12, 2025 I want to re-iterate: NOTHING CHANGED after registration opened.
Derek Chessik Mar 12, 2025 Not only did it not change. They’ve been doing this with volunteers for years.
Cameron Zalaha I rereistered for am 1 and am currently on the waitlist as the #1 spot but am already signed up for am2....it charged me for both. I'm assuming I can request a refund on the am2 registration correct? Mar 11, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Mar 11, 2025 Yes, correct.
Cameron Zalaha Mar 11, 2025 Sweet thanks
Meagan Baker Can i join FA3? I missed the sign up and wanted to join, thank you. Mar 8, 2025

Brian Ferrini Can I be on waitlist for MA40 and MA3? I'm currently on MA3. Which ever I have a better chance on March 10th? Feb 27, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Feb 27, 2025 Hey Brian, I've added you to the MA40 waitlist. If you get in off both waitlists, you can make your decision on which division to play then.
Cameron Zalaha Is it possible to move to ma1? Feb 25, 2025

Shawn Mercy Feb 26, 2025 Hi Colvin! Those MA1 players < 950 are hole sponsors.
Colvin Chapman Feb 28, 2025 Oh neat! That makes sense
Ron Kohut What are the chances I make it off MA3 wait-list. My pay pal froze and I got shit on with wait-list 16. Y'all really going to cap ma3 at 20 or less players? Feb 25, 2025
Andrew Rothschild Feb 25, 2025 Hard to know chances of getting in as it's reliant on drops ahead of you, which is impossible to predict. The division sizes will likely be adjusted, but not drastically.
Cameron Zalaha
Just curious what the odds are of making it in off the am2 waitlist? I set an alarm and still didn't make it lol...currently #15 on the list.....i am also willing to play up in am1 and pay the extra 2 ... show more ›

Andrew Rothschild Feb 25, 2025 Hey Tullin, I've added you to the MA50 waitlist. If you get in off that Waitlist, we'll remove you from MA2.
Tullin Valdez Feb 25, 2025 Very kind of you. That works well for me. Thank you so much. Be well.
