Thanks for a great tournament Andrew!

Andrew Hypes May 2 at 2:16pm

Thanks a lot brother. It was quite the struggle at times but I think we came out the other side well and I’m super happy it brought people joy.

Andrew Hypes April 29 at 10:32pm

Hey everyone that played Pike Lake,

Park ranger called me today and said someone left a temporary basket near the shelter by #1's tee. If this was you, you aren't in trouble, but they need it gone by tomorrow night so grab it unless you want it tossed. Thanks.

Luke McKinnes April 27 at 11:31pm

Left an eclipse hex with a pink rim on hole 7 (down hill shot) at pike lake today in case anyone happened to go over and found it. Appreciate it.

Andrew Hypes April 27 at 9:33pm

Round 2 tee times are up. I’ll publish payout info here in a few hours.

Ian Silverman April 27 at 8:45pm

Anybody find a red Westside Bear at paint creek?

Austin Hatfield April 27 at 9:06pm

Our group did. Believe it was turned in after our round, they may have it tomorrow.

Andrew Hypes April 27 at 9:28pm

Yeah it was left at Hocking Hills’s set up

Greg James April 27 at 6:47pm

Anyone find a pink heat on the 3rd hole played at Veterans today? Btw, Is there a lost disc deposit box?

Andrew Hypes April 26 at 11:48pm

To all playing at Vet’s Memorial tomorrow,

We have the Donato’s food truck coming down between 11-2 right by tournament central.

If you’re able to, please stop by and support them. They’re filling in on less than 24 hours notice and doing the tournament a massive favor. They deserve lots of and lots of money for their generosity.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Ronald C Godbey April 30 at 12:28pm

A Big THANK YOU to the Donato's crew for the great menu. It made the trip home a little better.

Jaden Phillips April 25 at 10:33pm

What’s the tournament plan in the case of a hurricane?? Thanks

Billy Whitacre April 26 at 2:19pm

Last year we played through it! No lightning though, just insane winds.

Silas Backus April 25 at 2:10pm

Wish I would have read this before I put two in the lake yesterday in my practice round. Dyed Cap Rap and Proto Malta in there if anyone goes in to retrieve discs.

Clinton Pelfrey April 25 at 3:43pm

I'll see if I can get out there to rake it in the next 2 days

Silas Backus April 25 at 11:35pm

Thank you it was a black dyed cap rap and a pink proto Malta.

Clinton Pelfrey April 26 at 1:18pm

Didn't find any yesterday. Sorry

Aaron "Sizzle" Carroll April 25 at 1:17pm

Practiced the courses yesterday and I noticed that parking might be an issue. Any suggestions on where to park at Paint Creek and Pike Lake?

Andrew Hypes April 25 at 1:24pm

As it pertains to Paint Creek, there's the lot near holes #6 and #7 that can fit another 12-15 cars. And between the lot near hole #1 and the near hole #17 at Pike, there should be plenty of parking. Luckily I've already heard of a good number of people carpooling across all divisions so I suspect everything will be okay

Kevin Fodrey April 25 at 1:44am

Asking here in case anyone else had the same question. With holes 2, 3 and 4 out of play for Vets, Will there be 3 temp holes added and if so, will they be set up Friday to practice?

Thanks!

Andrew Hypes April 25 at 1:48am

So the course is normally 19 holes. I will be adding 2 temp holes to bring it to 18 holes and yes the course in totality should be completely ready before noon on Friday

Dakota Kinnes April 25 at 2:12am

Never played there before, but it looks like holes 2, 3, and A on Udisc are the ones cut? Is hole 4 still in play, or is like hole A now numbered hole 4 or something that I just can't tell from looking online?

Kevin Fodrey April 25 at 2:47am

Terrific, thank you! A UDisc map of the tournament layout would be amazing if possible

Clinton Pelfrey April 25 at 11:15am

Pike will only be 18?

Andrew Hypes April 25 at 1:13pm

Sure, I'll try to see what I can do in terms of illustrating the layout. And yes, Pike is the normal 18 hole layout

Andrew Hypes April 24 at 3:58pm

Hey everyone, sorry that info has been delayed. Everything's still looking good but I've had to extinguish a lot of fires this week and I don't want to transmit any info that might be incorrect. That all being said, the caddy book will be out sometime today and the accompanying e-mail will also contain pretty much all the info you could want. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Dan Bayless April 24 at 4:13pm

Thanks for all you're doing.

Stuart Fanko April 24 at 6:15pm

Reiterating Dan, thank you. Clearly there’s some lack of patience here, thank you for hosting what will surely be a great event.

Logan Hines April 26 at 4:26pm

I signed up as of yesterday was this email already sent out?? Also Thank you for hosting this event!!

Andrew Hypes April 26 at 5:02pm

Yeah the email was already sent out but send me an email at theblackjackopen(at)gmail.com and I’l send it to you this evening

Andy Watkins April 22 at 5:17pm

I get absolutely zero cell reception anywhere at Pike Lake. Will paper score cards be provided and will this work considering the PDGA wants you to use the app now?

Luke McKinnes April 23 at 2:25pm

You could always type the score into a notepad or google keep app on your phone that requires no reception and then enter it once you have service again.

Andy Watkins April 23 at 6:41pm

To get service again I would need to drive 5-10 miles away. I have Verizon. The service is non-existent out there.

Andrew Hypes April 23 at 8:59pm

Yes, paper cards will be available and that's allowed by the PDGA

Kevin Fodrey April 22 at 2:10pm

Do we have a course schedule yet?

Driving down Friday to play the courses for the first time, and I’d like to know which courses MPO will be playing and what days.

Thanks,

Andy Watkins April 23 at 2:44am

Neither did I.

Jessica Oleskie April 23 at 3:47pm

Andrew Hypes April 23 at 8:59pm

Kevin Fodrey April 24 at 3:52pm

Also did not receive the email.

Tim secoy April 21 at 12:44am

I played pike lake today does the park plan on cleaning it up before the tournament.

Andrew Hypes April 21 at 12:56am

Yeah I’ll be doing 2 rounds of clean up at all courses this coming week. 1st round tomorrow then hopefully 2nd round on Wednesday.

Aaron "Sizzle" Carroll April 19 at 12:20pm

Tee order for the Am divisions?

Andrew Hypes April 19 at 1:08pm

Check out my response to Drew Miller’s question below for tee time order

Andrew Hypes April 20 at 2:37pm

Did my original response answer your question, Aaron? I can only interpret this question as a request for tee time succession info, as answered below.

Andrew Hypes April 20 at 3:30pm

MA4: 9-9:40 AM, MJ12/FA2/FA3: 9:50 AM, MA3: 10-11:30 AM, MA2: 11:40 AM-12:50 PM, MA50: 1 PM, MA40: 1:10-1:20 PM

Aaron "Sizzle" Carroll April 22 at 11:10pm

It sure did. Thank you very much.

Trevor penrod April 18 at 12:46pm

Quick question! I am first on the waitlist and was wondering if someone has to drop in my division so I can play or is it anyone in the entire field?

Andrew Hypes April 18 at 1:26pm

Anyone in the field. And luckily there’s a refund request I’m about to fulfill so you’ll get in in a matter of minutes

Andrew Lefevre April 11 at 4:27pm

Have you confirmed Pike Lake course will be played, and if so, for what divisions?

Andrew Hypes April 11 at 4:43pm

Yeah it's listed on the schedule. All am divisions except MA1 will play Pike Lake on Sunday

Andrew Lefevre April 11 at 5:25pm

Thank you!

Drew Miller April 7 at 3:45pm

Has the tee time order by division been determined for the pro pool for both days? If so, can you share?

Andrew Hypes April 7 at 4:10pm
