You need to reread the rule book on this one.
Under PDGA rules, missing a mandatory requires you to determine if a disc while crossing the mandatory line was over OB space. What the USDGC is doing is simplifying the matter so one does not need to make that determination and just consider everything missing the mandatory as missing the mandatory regardless of other events that may have occurred. It is actually much simpler (and IMO should be how the standard PDGA rules should be).
What players are at Monday qualifying today?
How many do they take from the qualifier?
From the article:
"led by Avery Jenkins and Jamie Thomas"
God no! That's a hard mute for me, dawg. I can't think of two worse people to put in there; they were epic failures when they tried live coverage on the DGWT, and Avery even fails on post-produced.
I am interested to see what camera angles look like from the tower etc though.

"We've brought in live streaming pros, Fulcrum Media Group, to help produce the "Hole 17 Live" streaming video show for the final two rounds. "Hole 17 Live" is hosted by World Champion Avery Jenkins and disc golf media veteran Jamie Thomas as the two highlight action around USDGC's most dramatic hole. In addition to Hole 17 drama, they can break away to cameras throughout the course to bring you action as it unfolds. There's more. They've got a lineup of special guests who'll share insights and analysis of disc golf's greatest competition."
hmm....getting that "banter fest" vibe again. Hoping it's not.....
I guess that was the first 1000+ rated banner hanger!
Ran into Kenny Climo on hole 9 (I was spotting during the qualifier) today while he was walking the course. He looked great, confident, and hungry. We discussed the new hole 9 layout; I said I thought it would average 4.4 or so, Kenny wanted to wager that it would be higher!
While he was there, Kenny helped a bunch of volunteers in hanging a 50'x10' Innova banner behind the hole; I guess that was the first 1000+ rated banner hanger!
.... whoever takes it, please please make it close and dramatic.

He just withdrew from the tournament. No return from the Champ after all.

I highly doubt this was the first time. Given some of the Dynamic Discs videos showing them do more than just play disc golf at events, I'm guessing 1000+ rated players hang far more banners than people think.
Thanks for the Climo update.
