I have been seriously thinking about running a BB. This would be my first attempt at anything like this. I myself have only participated in 2 events (Ace Race & a Fundraser) so I do not have alot of insight into the TD side of things, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some sort of "How to guide" for running a succesful event?
I know I can contact my Ace Race TD and he would be happy to give me pointers, but I dont want to blow up his inbox
Last years birdie bash was my first event to run. Since then I have ran a dd 2 disc challenge, ace race, co hosted an unsanctioned weekend event with the the chasing chain guys and am running a glow fund raiser (can foods) on Black Friday.
I learn a little bit more each time. The birdie bash makes it overly simple. And since they are pre packing everything should make it that Much easier.
The hints I can give you.
Good support staff. Get a friend or two to help you
Make sure your significant other is ok with you being totally involved in disc golf for the weekend.
You will be stressed. Don't worry.
No matter what you do someone will complain. We had free hot dogs, chips, chilies and nachos. Also gave a custom stamp mini. Several local business coupons for free stuff, free 100 dollar ace pot,8-10 door prizes. And I actually went swimming all day in our pond for lost disc.
Yet we still had 3 or 4 complainers. That told us what "we should of done"
