We have been approved to hold a smaller scaled back version of this event on October 24 and 25th. An invite will be sent to all who were signed up for this event (wait list included) in the next couple weeks, and will be allowed a 1 month window to sign up for the smaller event. The window to claim your spot will close at the end of September before registration is open to all. So please keep an eye out for the email and sign up if interested. As mentioned, this will be a smaller scaled back event with 1 round per day and be held as a C-Tier and Trophy Only for Am players. A small player pack will be included. But keep in mind this event will not be to the grand scale of the normal Labyrinth events. But we want to give the opportunity to all players to have the Labyrinth experience in 2020, even if it's a smaller event.

Here's the event link (more details to come very soon):

Update: We are still waiting on the final word from the State Parks whether or not we will be able to hold the tournament. We are trying our hardest to make it happen. We have decided on a final decision date of July 6th. If we haven't got the go-ahead by then we will either cancel or reschedule for a later date. Sorry it's taking so long to figure all this out, i know many of you are traveling and/or have camping plans and need to know as soon as possible, but we're holding out as long as we can to avoid cancellation. Thanks for being patient!

As of right now, with the changes in PDGA rules regarding COVID, this event may end up being tee times with 1 round each day. We still have 2 months before the event, but I did want to mention the possibility of this happening. Layouts TBD if this is the case, but anticipate Reds to Longs for all for Round 1. More to come as we get more information regarding current rules and regulations. Let's hope that things return as much to normal before then so we can run this with the current listed format of 3 rounds over 2 days.

Seeing as how this year's Pun's Labyrinth sold out so quick, discussion has already started on how to grow this event to the next level, with even hopes of an eventual A-Tier in the near future. As many remember we tried a larger format a few years back that simply put did not run all that well. Granted there is different individuals now running the show, we want to do everything thing we can to avoid a repeat of that if we were to double the field size and make this event bigger. In our discussions, a couple of options came up and we'd like some feedback from individuals so we can start the planning for this ASAP and make sure we give the people want they want. With next year being the 10th year of this event, it honestly makes sense to do something bigger and better. So below, we have some tentative options and are looking for feedback from you the players who graciously support this event:

1. Leave it as is with two days, three rounds, max field of 72

2. Shorten the event a two-day, two-round format, with two fields, opening up the registration to 144 players with no division caps and more possible divisions. This is similar to what we did a few years ago, but we would only use the 18 hole formats and have to eliminate one of the rounds we currently use (TBD).

3. Make the event a three day event, running Friday through Sunday, with one round each day for two fields. This would also allow 144 total players, but would require a round to played on Friday. For example, we could start Friday's rounds at 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM, which is four total hours. This would be the Reds to Longs Round. Saturday would have rounds starting at 9 AM and 2 PM, giving 5 hours for the rounds. Sunday would follow the same timeline as Saturday. This would also allow for more divisions and no caps.

4. Set up a temporary course somewhere at the park or nearby to allow for a full 144 player field. The format and location for this would have to be researched. But we could possibly use the Archery course or maybe even the Golf Course for something of this nature. But this would require some investigative work to see if it's feasible. This would also allow for more divisions and no caps.

Each option has it's limitations and advantages. But we would like to find a way to open up a larger field size but keep people happy. Any input or other ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your support!

I am looking at the weekend for October 24 and 25 to hold a "Mini" Labyrinth event. PDGA sanctioning is a possibility. This event will be a 2 day, 1 round per day event. Details to come very soon. This event will not be set up to the scale of the normal event, as there may be limited player pack and lower cost to make it easy for the club to manage. Just putting it out there now for anybody who wants to mark their calendars for this. An email will be sent out to all who registered for this event to give them first crack at registration. Then it will be opened up to the public after this initial window of registration for those contacted has past. Tentative layouts will be a longer layout day 1, followed by Reds to Longs for all competitors in day 2.

By request of the TD, I have re-opened the Tournament Shop for Pun's IX 2020 artwork gear which is pretty much finalized... Please note some items run small, and you can add your PDGA# or name to the back of the shirts although this will increase the price. All proceeds will be donated to the FOP 501c3 non-profit organization. Contact me if you have questions, orders are printed and shipped by a print on demand company. Please note they may have some delays due to COVID restrictions which is why I'm making the shop live now: http://pundersondiscgolf.com/tournament-shop-2020/#!/

All formats have merit. To grow the event absolutely means more players. Lacking another course of comparable quality at no more than 45 minutes from each other, a temp golf course set up with clubhouse and practice carts available is worth looking for. The 45 min. Rule is in effect with a temp course set-up as well.
You need matched set of 20 championship level targets for a temp. course.
Your 10 anniversary next year gives the chance to ask now and do later. Keep it rolling!

Just a reminder - if you know you are going to make it, DO NOT wait until the last minute to make camping, manor, or cabin reservations! July is a busy time for the park and they are usually FULL this time of year. Also, if you can get a group to go in on a cabin, it may be worth it if you aren't into rain, mosquitoes or packing a campsite up on Sunday! Manor also has restaurant, bar and both indoor and outdoor pools. **Please ask for Krissy or Megan if you call the manor and let them know it is for the Disc Golf Tournament in July as they appreciate knowing!

Don't forget...registration open this Friday at 8 PM!! Be ready so you don't miss out.

Also, based on previous year's history, we have decided to go with the following division caps this year:

Professional -- 28 total players
16 MPO
4 FPO
8 MP40

Amateurs -- 44 total playaers
No division caps, but with these offered divisions:
MA1
MA40
MA50
MA2
MA3
MA4
FA1
FA2

For a divisions to be formed in the Amateur divisions, there must be a minimum of 3 players. In the event there is not enough for the division, players may move to other eligible divisions prior to or day of the event. This does not include Women's divisions, as there will be no minimum required.

If all Professional spots are not claimed by June 15th, they will be offered to those on the waitlist for Amateur divisions based on the time of registration (via the registration log here on dgs).

Also, keep in mind, in prior years, on average, 8-12 people have moved up from the waitlist into the event based on drops. So don't be discouraged if you only get a waitlist spot, as there is a decent chance you will get in by the date of the event. We will also continue on with full refunds for anybody who drops by 48 hours before the event. Within 48 hours of the event, any drops that occur that do not have their spot taken by another player will receive a player's pack and/or partial refund. This falls in line with PDGA standards. If you drop within the 48 hours window and your spot is taken by another player, a full refund will be issued.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know.

Thanks!
