Reminder to everyone in the E, G, M, and J Pools - the outdated v2.6 schedule in the caddybook is incorrect for your Thursday and Friday rounds - they have been flip-flopped. See the correct schedule here: http://www.pdga.com/files/aw2015_schedule_draft_v2.8_0.pdf

Andrew Sweeton Sticky May 14, 2015 at 1:31am

Everyone: If you need to add something to your existing registration (Add Field Events, Add Doubles, Add the name of your Doubles partner in the notes field, etc., etc.) go to the registration page and instead of entering your name, click on the link next to the name field "choose an existing registrant" this will allow you to make additions etc. Thanks!

Do you have to pre register for those types of events? Or can you sign up when you get there?

Andrew Sweeton May 29, 2015 at 1:33pm

pre-reg only

Bruce Brakel June 17, 2015 at 4:08pm

Ignore my e-mail. E-mailed before seeing this.

Brandon Redmond June 21, 2015 at 4:00am

andrew, could you refund me my Bell's tour tickets please? It doesn't look like I'll get out there before the 11:30 check in. thanks

Andrew Sweeton June 22, 2015 at 9:48am

OK, click on the "Request a Refund" link in the reg confirmation email from DGS. Put just the dollar amount for the Bell's tickets and note thta you ONLY what a Bell's refund. Thanks!

Brandon Redmond June 22, 2015 at 4:55pm

I don't have my email. I wasn't able to do the "request a refund" when I had to bail out of the die games either. I think you just took care of it for me

Andrew Sweeton June 22, 2015 at 7:25pm

just sent a new receipt

Brandon Redmond June 22, 2015 at 7:48pm

Thanks andrew

Jared Dow July 13, 2015 at 8:38am

Could I have my distance competition entry moved to the putting competition?

Marc Carls July 14, 2015 at 3:37pm

Come on Jared, you know you have a stack of blizzard discs that are itching to get out on the range!

Jared Dow July 15, 2015 at 9:08am

Lol I wish. I'm worried about my back get owned right before the tourney. I'll be rooting for DJ Baldwin!

Mike Leifeld July 15, 2015 at 10:22pm

When's the deadline to sign up for field events?

Lawrence Leonardi July 15, 2015 at 11:50pm

Was the 10th

Brian Hoppe July 17, 2015 at 3:30pm

So just to be completely clear. There is no way to sign up for mini games on Sunday as of now? Correct? Thanks.

Andrew Sweeton July 17, 2015 at 3:32pm

correct, reg is closed, sorry.

Larry LaBond September 3, 2015 at 6:10pm

We want to let all the volunteers from Am Worlds know that we are having a party for you on September 19th at Spinski's. It will be an all day kinda thing starting at 10am and going all night with some glow golf. Camping will be possible. We will also be providing dinner and some beverage. Please pass the word and also let us know if you are coming, so we have some kind of idea how many there will be. Thanks again to all of you!!!

Not enough could be done for the volunteers!!!! A big thank you to all of them for making this event the single greatest disc golf event in my life. Kudo to Larry and the army of help!!!

Craig Clingan September 3, 2015 at 10:16am

Well said, Steve!

Jim Jean September 3, 2015 at 11:04pm

Agreed

Jason Brower September 4, 2015 at 9:07am

great job n thanks. im in

Brian Goodmurphy August 7, 2015 at 10:33pm

I was forced to withdraw from this tournament due to injury. I did so after the refund deadline. It's my understanding the players pack will be shipped to me. When should I expect to receive it?

Larry LaBond August 9, 2015 at 11:05am

You should have received a custom shirt. Did you not get it?

Brian Goodmurphy August 9, 2015 at 11:30am

I did get the shirt. Do I not get the Discs and other items?

Larry LaBond August 9, 2015 at 3:43pm

The shirt was all we were promising. Due to limited items donated for the player's packages and to discourage people from registering and not showing (to get the player's packages), the customized items were all we were sending out. This was in the confirmation package.

Brian Goodmurphy August 9, 2015 at 6:42pm

That's not cool. Limited items? I payed $130 for my spot in the tournament, so you should have items that were for me. This is beyond upsetting, not only did I not get to participate due to injury, but I also get my paid for players pack denied to me. Unacceptable! I expect more from both the PDGA and the local Club/TD hosting such a major event.

Jeff Meldrum August 9, 2015 at 9:10pm

I agree with Brian. Unacceptable!

Larry LaBond August 10, 2015 at 9:59am

We had posted a timeline for withdrawals. When you get a refund and what you would be sent. It was in the invite package as well as the confirmation package. The player's pack is worth more than the entry fee. There are a limited amount of items we had for the package and there are collecti ... more

Larry LaBond August 10, 2015 at 10:01am

Limited items - some sponsors only sent us enough items to cover the player's packages and no more. In some cases we even ran out before filling all the players packs!

Jason Goodmurphy August 12, 2015 at 8:56am

I would argue that you need to take responsibility for hosting a tournament of this caliber. If someone is registers and is forced to drop out , if the spot is not filled the complete player pack should still be available to them. If you did not have enough items to fill all the players packs, that is your fault. Seems like a very questionable practice at best.

Brian Goodmurphy August 12, 2015 at 1:43pm

The PDGA policy states that if a player withdraws after the refund deadline, they will be shipped their player packs. I understand your concerns about people just wanting the players pack. In that case, I would expect to at least receive a refund, regardless of when a player withdraws. You can' ... more

Brian Goodmurphy August 12, 2015 at 1:56pm

It appears as if you feel fully justified in the situation, which is very disappointing. It also appears as though I have no real recourse against what I see amounts to theft, or at the very least incredably shady policy on the part of the world's hosts. I have contacted the relevant officials ... more

Larry LaBond August 13, 2015 at 10:18am

Yep, I'm a theif! You got me! Again it was clearly posted!! Not in fine print! I'm not going to respond anymore to this. Grow up and take responsibility for not informing yourself. Accept the fact that it was your decision to drop, for whatever reason, and you lost out! Quit blaming ... more

Jeff Trautman August 4, 2015 at 3:56pm

My jersey had to be replaced. I was told that it would be mailed to me. I have not received it yet. Is there anything I need to do?

Larry LaBond August 5, 2015 at 9:08pm

They kept messing up your shirt at the printer. We picked up some final ones today and it should be out in the next day or so. I think they wasted 3 shirts on you!!

Craig Clingan July 27, 2015 at 11:18pm

I just wanted to thank everyone involved in this tournament. From the PDGA (including MPDGC's own Zach Shafer!), to all the sponsors, course directors, volunteers, spotters and clubs who not only added items to our awesome player packs but also stepped up and helped out at all the courses. It was great to see fellow Michigan golfers NOT golfing but helping us have a great time and making sure everything ran like clockwork. Sure, there were a few hiccups but that's bound to happen tryin ... more

Steve Nolff July 27, 2015 at 6:48pm

Great post, Craig. I could not agree more. Congrats on a great tournament yourself. A quick addition, if I may....a thank you to Andrew Sweeton, whose constant updates and answers to questions here were vital for me to obtain information.

Craig Clingan July 30, 2015 at 1:18pm

Yessir, the Big Dog rocks!

Larry LaBond August 3, 2015 at 10:50am

Thank you!

Shawn Mercy July 27, 2015 at 9:17pm

I should have led off by saying how great an experience this tournament week was! Thanks to all who made it happen! I will be back :-)

Shawn Mercy July 27, 2015 at 9:16pm

Please be aware that the tags on our custom AM Worlds jerseys bleed off easily. I wore it once and now have little red/blue jersey logo stamps on it :-(.

Dave Davies July 27, 2015 at 3:02pm

interesting. I notice the "Athletic Knit" back tag shows some imprint from the front AK tag so I cut them both off. I submerged it in water but it didnt bleed like I thought. Good catch either way, thanks!

Wesley Steer July 27, 2015 at 3:22pm

Where do the found discs end up after the tournament? I'd like to check the pile one more time.

Larry LaBond August 3, 2015 at 10:51am

We have slowly been dealing with lost and found. What are you looking for? Please message me.

Josh Cantor July 25, 2015 at 6:55pm

Lukas Klingbeil somebody in my group found your green champion destroyer on Meyer broadway north course and I put in my bag and forgot to turn it in.If you get me your address I will mail it to you. SORRY.

John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan July 25, 2015 at 6:19pm

Lost stool at timber ridge 7/24 Hoping it would get turned it and didn't. Came back up the 26th to check and nothing. May the karma get the one who kept it!

Jim Fries July 25, 2015 at 3:36pm

Oh and it will, probably already has.

Craig Clingan July 25, 2015 at 5:15pm

I saw at least 3 stools in the lost and found at Meyer/Broadway, so maybe it did some travelling. Not sure who you would contact...maybe Leonard Johnson or Scott Wilson?

Josh Ryder July 26, 2015 at 7:29am

There was 2 at timber ridge Thursday

ERic J July 25, 2015 at 4:00am

Do Aces in the Semis or Finals get paid out from the Ace pool?

Andrew Sweeton July 25, 2015 at 3:15pm

I was just told that all Aces get paid including semis and finals.

Craig Clingan July 25, 2015 at 3:45am

I'm guessing that Semi's start at 9 but can't seem to find any confirmation in writing.

ERic J July 24, 2015 at 7:57pm

Can't find semi's start time posted online anywhere either....

Craig Clingan July 24, 2015 at 8:43pm

Looks like they're posting start times as they post the last rounds

ERic J July 24, 2015 at 10:22pm

Yeah, they're posting them on the Tournament Results page: http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/19580

Rob Brower July 25, 2015 at 1:05am

The pdga website has my round at Coldbrook as a 77. I shot a 76 and this is wht was turned in on the score card. Can you guys please fix this?

Andrew Sweeton July 24, 2015 at 6:56pm

You actually scored a 75 so with the 2 throw penalty it ends up a 77, sorry.

Rob Brower July 24, 2015 at 7:47pm

Darn it!! Thank you. Thats what I figured happened. I kept adding and coming up with diff numbers.lol. FATIGUE!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AWSOME WEEK!!!

Andrew Sweeton July 25, 2015 at 3:14pm

Glad you had a good time!

Fred Vocino July 24, 2015 at 6:53am

Please check my score for Spinski's 2nd round. I'm asking here to cover the bases.

Andrew Sweeton July 24, 2015 at 9:09am

yup, they called your score in switched with another guy, fixing it now online, calling Vicksburg to make sure the board is correct, sorry for the error!

Fred Vocino July 24, 2015 at 9:53am

Thanks..."sorry" - other guy.

Andrew Sweeton July 24, 2015 at 1:27pm

LOL!

Dave Davies July 24, 2015 at 12:47am

Last call for good karma: if anyone has seen the pink X-Out beast that was taken out of the lost and found box on sunday/monday at Timber Ridge, please put it back with the lost and found discs.

Here is a pic before the stamp was wiped off: http://i.imgur.com/F1b7GGY.jpg

Craig Clingan July 23, 2015 at 8:55pm

Hope you get it back!

Tom W July 24, 2015 at 12:46am

Can anyone supply me with a link to the semi- final field size per pool? Thanks in advance.

Andrew Sweeton July 23, 2015 at 5:56pm

Bottom of the Schedule - http://www.pdga.com/2015amworlds/schedule/event

Tom W July 23, 2015 at 6:50pm

Thanks Big Dog. For everything :-)

Andrew Sweeton July 23, 2015 at 9:08pm

My pleasure!

Jay B July 23, 2015 at 8:52pm

If anyone can see this and let ATD know the situation there are two bad accidents on 131 going south back towards oshtemo, i'm sure people will be late getting there that played Spinskis first

Jamie Vincent July 23, 2015 at 3:08pm

Having a blast so far..thanks everyone.

samuel smith July 23, 2015 at 3:00pm
