Welcome to the return of the Toronto Island Maple Leaf - XIII!
-Three days of tee times September 3, 4, and 5
Tee assignments subject to change
MPO, MP40 - 3 rounds from Longs
FPO and MP50 - 2 rounds form Longs
MP60, MA1 - 1 round from Longs
All other divisions - 3 rounds from Shorts
-Open Registration begins at 7pm Eastern. All Divisions will have at least twice as many spots provided as were booked in pre-registration. For instance, MA1 will have an additional 24 spots added at 7pm Eastern.
-Our pontiff of prodigious prose, the one and only Mr. Bee, will be back on the mic and in our hearts with his introductions on at least the final day of tee times Sweet Jelly Roller will be rolling the sweet tunes again all weekend.
-No players meetings, parties, or award ceremony gatherings will be held in person; however, do expect several digital meetings to fill these holes in hopes of bringing this wonderful community back together for some digital high-fivery and gentle jousting. We do welcome spectators and volunteers! Guidelines for each will be provided prior to the event.
-Expect MVP (minimum viable product) TD vibes. Our goal is to have a financially transparent (in full), clean, easy, and low drama event. Let's maximize the fun, the island vibes, and the payouts! Am payouts partner will be announced shortly!
-As part of the permit the tournament can't supply any food or services. We recommend you take advantage of the amazing resources on an near the island including the Island Cafe and the Riviera.
-Last but no least, SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY. All measures that are advised to be taken by the province, city and PDGA will be followed. Strict adherence to COVID-19 protocol for outdoor, socially distanced events will be provided at the outset of the tournament and input from the community will be heard and discussed. However, we will be asking everyone to strictly adhere to these guidelines from ferry to ferry (or water taxi to water taxi). The island is a great and amazing community, but it is also a privilege not a right, for us to have an annually recurring permit so we must be on our best behaviour the whole weekend.
Land Acknowledgement
I believe it is also important for us as a disc golf community to be connected in full to the land our courses and tournaments are held upon. Tkaronto, and specifically the former moving sandbar upon which whom's shore has been concreted into the Toronto Islands, is a site of significant importance to many indigenous communities. I would invite you to watch the video link below for an incredible short video on the history of Tkaronto.

There is currently a total event cap. I am working through final logistics and will be holding space for smaller divisions to fill. There certainly will be limited movement from the wait list into the tournament. But many of those may come as others drop which tends to happen.
So possibly, what you’re saying, is that when the other divisions are done filling up and there is some spots left, you might go in and add more players to pro or advanced? Maybe? Is there any way the cap gets pushed up?
Ezra. I am saying the cap will likely go up and more players will be added. This needs to be balanced to protect the ability to fill cards in currently undersubscribed divisions. This adjustment will occur on Friday, June 24th.
Thanks!
