Notes for the players meeting:

1. PDGA rules are in effect, except for the 2-meter rule which is always in effect at Borderland.
2. All out of bounds should be marked on the sign and have a yellow rope/tape to mark the OB line. The exception is a new OB on hole 17 surrounding the perimeter of the marsh area. That has not made it to the signs as of yet.
3. As always, if you have any question on a ruling that the group cannot agree on, take a provisional shot and come and speak with the TD before turning in the score card.

TD: Matt DeAngelis

Divisions: $60 Pro/Pro
$40 Am/Am
$40 Women

If you accepted cash at any event last year in a Pro division, NEFA, PDGA, MPT, whatever, you are considered a Pro and cannot play with a partner in Am/Am division.

All AM players get a tourney disc. Pro paid in cash money, all other divisions paid in Borderland Bucks.

Lunch orders will be taken in the morning at check-in by a local pizza place.

The total field is limited to 36 teams. Reserved number of teams until Feb 14th:

Pro: 16 teams
Am: 10 teams
Women: 10 teams

Add $10 per team for payment/registration day of.

$10 from each team will go towards costs for the insurance. This will avoid any non-member PDGA fee that we would have to charge otherwise.

Hole sponsorships are a steal at $10 per team.

[Bill Bertera]

Going to be crowded with The Bombers hosting Team Devens that day.

[Steve Ahern]

Sounds good! Will reg

[Mike Dussault]

Wow, first time I hear of a team challenge taking precedence over a club tournament.

I'll watch to see how this plays out.

Happy to look for a new date for the match but would prefer to settle it within the next couple days so teams can reset their work and life plans with ample time. I'll get in touch with Tom today.

This is one of those "I can't believe we overlooked this longstanding tournament" moments.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Forgot to post that the registration will open on 1/13.

[Jim Wills]

Sunday huh ?

[John Giampapa]

Sunday huh ?

Playing in Matt's tournies is a religious experience.

[Jim Wills]

That statement I wouldn't argue, Matt is one of the best TD's around !!

[Matt DeAngelis]

Reminder that registration will go LIVE tomorrow night at 8pm!

Also, just so people are aware, depending on conditions, we may need to close Hole 17. If we do, we will replace that hole with OB road. And since we are adding OB road, why not add pebble beach. Yeah, I just said that.

Thanks Jim, but I have amazing help from the club members that make it that much easier. They deserve the credit too!

[Kyle Moriarty]

So two 19 hole rounds! I say pebble beach and OB Road no matter what! 20 holes!

Well, it all depends on if there are people sledding on the hill behind the mansion.

Because "pebble beach" can add a lot of time to the tournament due to lost discs, retrieval, and extra walking.

It's 8:30 and the sign up link still says coming soon. Is registration still happening tonight?

[Matt DeAngelis]

Yeah, I set the incorrect time when I built the online reg... my bad.

[Ben DAmore]

Can I register am/am and figure out a partner later? And I'm looking for a partner...

Yes, do it. Do it now.

Done!

Waitlist updated. AM reserve has been met and any additional AM teams will be added to the waitlist. Sign up now to reserve your spot. There are 10 spots reserved for women and 16 reserved for Pro. Those are unlikely to be met, so if you are an AM and you want to play, sign up and there is a good chance that at least a few AM waitlist teams will make it in on 2/13/16.

[Kyle MacRae]

I'll be Ben D'Amore's TBD partner, but the registration form won't let me reg as a single. I suspect the form is afraid of our tag team devastation. Suggestions?

[John Giampapa]

He already registered for both of you. You just need to slide him some cash.

[Jaxon Sheehy]

Rogan and McCabe playing together? Weird. Never expected that pairing.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Reg list updated along with the waitlist. Currently, there are four AM teams on the waitlist.

There are 9 Pro teams, 10 AM teams, and 2 Women teams, for 21 out of 36 teams.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Reg list updated.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Added another team to the AM waitlist. Any Pro teams or Women teams that want to play should sign up before Saturday!

[Matt DeAngelis]

Reg list updated. Everyone that was on the waitlist is in. A couple more spots available as of this morning.

[Matt DeAngelis]

And we are full. Waitlist will start with first paid, first on.

Got word that the park will be open until at least 6 on tournament Sunday. This may result in an adjusted format to include longer layouts and/or removal of scotch doubles. Not sure what people think of that?

Personally, I'd say keep scotch doubles. It's a fun & different format and as far as local doubles tournaments go I think it's unique to this tournament.
