So now that the event is over, and all videos are posted, here's my follow up to something I had said earlier.
"Give us a chance, then give us your feedback"
The
Contact Us page on the USDGC site has a form. I encourage each of you to send your thoughts that way.
I also encourage everyone to be constructive in their criticism. Remember, even if you disagree with the decisions made, and even if it's an emotionally charged reaction, that these people love disc golf just like you. Nobody wants to take anything away from you, or make you have a negative experience. People who make these decisions have lots of different factors to consider, and at the end of the day you have to place those factors in a certain order of priority. This is your opportunity to explain whether or not you feel like that priority order is correct. Please, be thoughtful of the fact that these guys work for weeks with little to no sleep to create this event, and that they've been doing this for 18 years - and the game has changed in that time. Help them learn where you think they're missing out on those changes (and where they've done well).
Disagree with them, tell them what you would like to see, but please don't use this link as an avenue to launch insults or attacks. I'm not saying this to temper or cushion responses, but to give a little insider tip on how to best be heard and taken seriously.
