Looking at the pad assignments for Advanced, looks like we will be paying to get into Bill Frederick park all three days. Is this correct?
Mark Janssen

With the construction still in progress at Barnett, we lost the Parkside course this time out. So yes you are correct.

I was under the impression we'd be playing Northside twice on the day we were out there. I figured that made more sense then driving to another park during lunch.
Mark Janssen

That approach would keep other divisions/pools from being able to play North as it would only allow for two pools to play that course.
Mark Janssen August 27, 2018 at 7:23pm
All players will receive an email mid-week with the current players program which will have a plethora of information to answer many questions.
Timothy McClory August 27, 2018 at 3:48pm
Why are players who have dropped out/been refunded still on the registered players' list?
Mark Janssen
August 27, 2018 at 4:57pm
Players that have already been refunded are not on the list. Some players are still in discussion on their options after requesting withdrawal and therefore have not been fully processed. Additionally, we had a pause this weekend in updating the registration as we created all the players score and leader board cards. Most updates will catch up this evening.
Jeremy Smith August 26, 2018 at 7:12pm
When or where can we find out what pool we are in. Thanks for everything
Robert Cruz Mark Janssen
August 27, 2018 at 7:22pm
yes, they are on the website. Although, the Intermediate pool did not need a second pool this year so it's really more by division, but the pools are listed at http://www.southeasternamateurchampionship.com/course-and-pad-assignments/

If i needed to withdraw this week, when is the latest i can do it and it open up a spot in my division?
Mark Janssen
August 27, 2018 at 3:13am
We follow the PDGA guidelines for withdrawals. With the number of courses we use for the event, there are plenty of spots for all divisions.
Kandace Agner August 23, 2018 at 11:43am
Will we be playing both parks still? I’ve heatd one was out. Sorry, if this has already been answered
Mike Cain
August 23, 2018 at 12:09pm
Yes. We will only be playing Barnett North but Parkside is out.

What is the best way to find out the afternoon start times during the tournament?
Mark Janssen
August 21, 2018 at 2:31pm
Your program will include the most up to date schedule. We are leaving plenty of time to travel between courses if you pool schedule requires. Any changes are posted on the Facebook page "Orlando Disc Golf Club" which is different that the group discussion page "Orlando Disc Golf Inc"

Hey, Sadly the Air Force just informed me I need to work the weekend of the tournament. Is it too late to ask for a refund?-John King
Glenn Alexander August 11, 2018 at 1:46pm
Came in from Jacksonville to hang at Turkey Lake for an extended weekend and get in some practice time for the tournament and was wondering if the Woods course was gonna get cleaned up and mowed before the tournament? Numorous trees down, grass is about knee high and trails are over vegetation. Just curious cause if not this will be a very interesting round.
Glenn Alexander
August 12, 2018 at 12:50pm
Awesome and yes I did notice all the tee pads are finished now I very pumped to play another tournament here. It’s where I started playing and are some of my favorite courses to play. Gotta head back home tomorrow so better make the best of my last practice day. Thanks

Thanks Mark and Bill (and everyone else) for all the hard work. Can you post in the thread when it's finally cut? That course is a **** when it's a jungle. And I'm old. :-)
Mark Janssen
August 13, 2018 at 3:28pm
sure thing, did a work party out there yesterday and cleared up most of the trees and cleaned up extra concrete and such from the last pour. Will update on mowing conditions. All pins are now set as well on all courses.
Kevin Nollmeyer August 8, 2018 at 3:31pm
When will we know what pin positions will be used for the tournament?
Mark Janssen
August 8, 2018 at 3:41pm
A majority of the holes are in their final positions. The Woods course is all set, and North and Original courses are most likely set as well. There may be some changes on T2 still forthcoming.
Gary (OMG) Pituch August 8, 2018 at 3:18pm
Mark: For those of us who may not live right around the corner from any of these courses, but want to get over there for a bit of practice from the pads we'll be tossing from, when do you plan on posting pad assignments for each course? ASAP I hope. Cheers...Gary

Online registration closes August 28 at 2:00am ET It's on the Register page Craig......geeeezzzzzz. LOL
Mark Janssen
August 7, 2018 at 8:03pm
As stated on the Register Tab - Aug 28th. Shirt sizes are not guaranteed after Aug 12th, although we will do our best to order appropriately.
Dom Diaz July 31, 2018 at 9:33pm
Quick question about the division prizes. On the website it says the Rec and lower divisions payout will be given in trophies. Does this mean no disc voucher payouts for those divisions?
Mark Janssen
July 31, 2018 at 10:02pm
That is correct. Rec divisions are trophy only, but get the full $100+ players package. Rec also only plays 4 rounds on Sat/Sun, no Mon play
Joe Battaglia Meatbawl July 14, 2018 at 2:00am
can i please be dropped to ma3
Mark Janssen
July 14, 2018 at 10:11am
division changes xan be handled by registrants using the link in your confirmation email from Disc Golf Scene
Kevin Nollmeyer July 5, 2018 at 2:08pm
If the parkside course at Barnett is not ready, would the north side still be used? I was also curious as to when a decision regarding this will be made? Thanks in advance for any info
Mark Janssen
July 5, 2018 at 7:13pm
The North course will be used either way. The decision of adding a fifth course will be made in enough time in order to allow anyone to still withdraw with full refund. That way if anyone doesn't only want to play four courses or doesn't like the fifth course added they can still maker an informed decision.
Josiah Gorman July 5, 2018 at 1:55pm
I have a conflict and need to withdraw. Thanks!
Matthew Brobst June 29, 2018 at 1:02am

Registrants can now change division and enter PDGA numbers by using the link sent on your receipt form DGC. The system will either ask for more money or refund division change differences. Give it a try, it's a great new feature.
Kevin Nollmeyer June 26, 2018 at 12:43am
Curious as to the players pack for amateurs and the payout schedule, how much of the fee to payout, and the payout method?
Mark Janssen
June 26, 2018 at 4:19am
The players pack will be a variety of merchandise with a majority being NOT discs. Typically the top 30% of the larger divisions will have some payout which is redeemed that day at the event store.
Kevin Nollmeyer
June 26, 2018 at 5:49pm
Thank you for the information. I was also curious as to a breakdown of the entry fee, and how much of the entry fee will go to pay out. Thanks in advance for this information
Mark Janssen
June 27, 2018 at 3:26pm
That is information that rarely is determined this far in advance on any event. But as a guide, in the past for this event we have leaned more toward the PDGA true amateur format, so it is more heavy on players pack than payout so that everyone benefits. As an estimate after pack, PDGA, EDGE, trophies etc, Intermediate will have about $15 and advanced $25 per person towards payout.
Unfortunately, we have closed the already extended registration period. All the registration lists and prep work has begun for carding and check-in processes. We hold this PDGA amateur only A-tier every year over Labor Day weekend. Also, just wondering, I did a search of your name on the PDGA site with no results. For an A-tier you have to be a PDGA member - which you very well may be.
