FTFY so you were less hypocritical.

there wouldn't be a waitlist if there weren't so many baggers playing am. and on their home courses. taking spots away from the actual ams.

I'm coming from Memphis for my third consecutive Am Worlds.

I'm a 949 rated Am who plays 90% of his rated rounds away from home at large A Tiers or majors (STL Open, First Class Challenge, BG, Worlds last year) because we don't have PDGA events practically ever in Memphis . We held a B-tier last year and I TD'd it so I didn't get rated rounds at that one. So, there are many players like me who pay a full membership and play less than 5 events a year and have deceptive ratings because I think it's clearly an advantage to get your ratings on your local courses.

Also - I'm just excited to compete on arguably the best courses in the world. I stopped in Charlotte on the way to Rochester, NY last year and loved playing the Nest. All this nonsense about Paul and whining is counterproductive to the event. I competed against Wiggins at BG and Worlds three years ago and I enjoyed witnessing his talent on the course. I spoke briefly with you Mark last year after a couple rounds and enjoyed talking with your Dad as well. We followed you one round when I caddied for Cam (started in C pool before earning a spot in A pool on Wednesday).

This Charlotte versus the out-of-towners junk is silly. I'm looking forward to world-class competition and the pro jump from am has been this way as long as I can recall. The reason I like playing the large events is all of the good amateur competition. Anyone who wins this event will deserve it and they'll have to beat a large group of future professionals. Paul, Garrett, Scott, or whoever... It's not going to be easy for anyone. I certainly don't expect anyone to walk away with it like Wiggins did (won by more than 30 sticks I think)...

I will say this. I finished 56th in 2010 and 41st in 2011. I planned on finishing better each year, but with the larger field and the strong local field, it might be tough to break top 40 for this 32-year public high school teacher...

remember to cradle the sak.

I'm excited to see these Charlotte haters get eaten alive by our courses. Wish advanced wasn't full so I could witness it first hand. Instead I'm gonna play open in the hopes that enough overflow amateurs play open that I'll have a snowballs chance in hell at cashing.

Sorry Robby, you finished in the top 50 at worlds so you should be moving up to pro this year.
