Reg Opens When?-Great Lakes Open, US AM@Milford, Kansas City Open, Minnesota Majestic

[TimMcD]

Hi!
I plan to play all these awesome tournaments in June and didn't want to miss the registration! I was hoping to get some insight on when registration opens for these tournaments.

I'm a really friendly disc golfer from Oregon(live on Maui now) looking for a place to camp or stay for all these tournaments! If you have any extra space please let me know! I'm a very respectful guest.

Also, I'll be coming from New York to go to the Great Lakes Open, so if anyone has an extra spot in their car that would be amazing

Much Aloha,

-Tim

Look at Pinckney State Rec Area in MI for camping near DGLO, may even be close enough for Am Nats as well.

The Am Nats website may have contact info for a fellow who offers up his nearby yard every year to a good sized crew of campers. Surf around there. You'll also find reg info, if they've posted any. Probably haven't if history is any guide.

Am Nats is an event that you normally have to qualify to play, so the registration is not until about a month or two before the event. However, I do not believe that it usually fills with qualifiers so they open up the registration after that to amateurs with a certain rating and above.

 

[TimMcD]

Great, thanks everyone! I'm really hopeful to make it into the USAM DGC! Sounds like a blast. I am rated 959 so I hope that is good enough to get me in.
I'm going to reg for Min Majestic ASAP, but I was wondering if anyone knows if they give refunds just in case of plans falling through?

Anyone have info about Kansas City Wide Open or Great Lakes Open?

Thanks!

Tim

PS: Still searching for a ride from NYC to Michigan

Don't know yet about this year, but Dynamic Discs ran GLO last year. You may start looking there. And AFAIK, they don't open AM Nats registration at all. Most spots fill in from qualifiers. If there are any spots left, you'll have to play in to qualify. No open or even rating-restricted registration.

USADGC

ejvogie is wrong about USADGC. true it can and has filled up with qualifiers in past years, but there is a time they allow players with a certain rating to sign up if they hadn't filled the tourny and then they save the last 5 spots for players that attempt to play into the field.

Great, thanks! I am 959 rated so I hope they keep the rating cutoff at 945!

 

[Martin Dewgarita]

Right before the event last year they dropped it to 940 as well.

Finally going to play the majestic this year. Just deciding what class to play first.

 

[slickwheels]

^^^ in a tiers you play your rating unless you are eligible for age protected division.

 

[MNthrow]

I don't have a rating. I've never been in a pdga tourney, I've just played for a long time without that on my own.

 

[Cgkdisc]

You'll have to be a PDGA member to enter the Majestic so you might as well get your money's worth and play a few PDGA events before then. There will ratings updates in March, April and May before the Majestic so you could have a rating by then.

I'm planing on it I have been checking for the tourney dates as they come through. I'll be playing a few of the C and B tiers around here.

Any updates on this? Thanks!!!
