be current is the only requirement. Played in it last year a real good time, good people well ran, great players pack and some good courses.

Worth a try

no test unless it just started this year, only other requirement is to enjoy the hell out of it.

It's been a long time since I was last there, but it was one of my finest competitive disc golf memories. HB and Co. run a wonderful event. You'll only be sorry if wait to register and get shut out.

I've considered playing tournaments for a while now, but I still haven't done one. I've heard a lot of good things about BG Ams. Would anyone recommend this as a first-time tournament, or should I start with something smaller? My DGCR rating is ~850 these days.

Absolutely a great tourney to play. New people to play with every round, and they're all exactly your skill level, and all there for the same reason, to have a good time.

Hopefully I'll make it back out there. It was lots of fun.

Yes. The only problem may be that it will ruin other tournaments for you. Others just don't compare. Great thing about the rating system is you'll start with like rated players. Then, if you play well you will be with others playing well and if you struggle, you'll be with other strugglers. Usually there are discs given away for winning each card to keep interest.

I know it's still early, but I've been looking at this tourney for a few years...does anyone remember what the cost was last year - perhaps for intermediate/advanced? Thanks ahead of time...

 

[kingjames1014]

i think it was 75 bucks last year. but you get a great players pack & stuff. great tournament!

 

[sisyphus]

Not that they can match it or do better every year, but the players pack last year (if I recall correctly) was seven (!) discs, (several world premieres), dinner, coupons, a drifit shirt for early registrations, a prize for winning your card (every round), and oh yeah, a $1000 ace pot to divvy up. Sweet! :clap:




...I'm going.

 

[Horsman]

I will again be there TD'ing and Vending for Pandamonium Discs

Man I need to get a job....soon....

Bowling green is awesome...If you get a chance to play the United States Amateurs whew, they really treat you professionally there. Each card announced personalized discs and scorecards. Anyways, do both...moral of the story.
