I checked the facebook page and there is no real information there.

Is this going to be a PDGA event only or will it also be a NEFA event?

[Kenji Cline]

Hard to gather any info here. How about a little basic info in the first post? Where is registration going to be? Sanctioning?

Or maybe I just can't see a facebook link from work?

[Mike Dussault]

Not much info here... maybe i should check FB.

[Pete Charron]

WooOOWWWwwww!!

Woot!

Ok guys, you've proved that information is still gathered here. Lovely!

First post being updated currently with information.

Also, the FB page has been updated to include more critical info

[Kenji Cline]

Hey Pete no Nefa sanctioning? and where can i find more info on western mass point series?

[Pete Charron]

Hey Kenji,

NEFA sanctioning will be reserved for the June event at the NEDGC. That event, The Spoonwood Classic, will be PDGA/NEFA.

The Western Mass Point Series Charter has been drafted and is close to being released. I can tell you right now that the series will host at least 7 events this year and a championship. The idea behind the series is to bring greater exposure to the disc golf scene in Western Mass. We're hoping to increase tournament participation, shedding light on WMASS courses while also providing dedicated local players an avenue to distinguish themselves regionally.

Being so close to that western MA border let me know if I can do anything to help you out. Tentative date for that June tourney? J Park Jammer is 6/16 hoping to be able to possibly make both.
