2015 Minnesota Majestic

[Broken Shoulder]

It was about this time last year that I registered for the 2014 Majestic, which was nice because it allowed me to really pre-plan my vacation request to make sure I could play.

Anyone know anything? Will someone else be running the tournament this year? (That question has no judgment in it whatsoever. I don't get to play many tournaments and will be playing regardless, assuming my schedule allows it.)

Hopefully, we don't have two consecutive 27-hole monsoon rounds like last year. Putting in shin deep water at BRP was...interesting.

I think Cale is running it this year, and I heard an end of May date mentioned but can't confirm that.

Two days only, May 30-31, run by Cale Leiviska of Airborn Disc Golf Emporium. Format still being worked out. No registration details or timing yet.

According to the PDGA it is May 30 and 31st.

Thanks. I searched the Event schedule on the PDGA site and didn't see it.

Much appreciated.

According the Cale/Airborn FB post registration will open next week.

I see the host cities are listed as East Bethel and Bloomington.

East Bethel makes sense with Blue Ribbon Pines and the rumored "Red Ribbon Pines". Added note- Cale posted some pictures of the course being worked on and said AMs would be playing it on Sunday.

The Bloomington location threw me off, unless that is where hotels and check-in will be? With Hyland being closed till 2016, that leaves Bryant Lake and Moir Park near by. But I can't see this tourney moving away from KP/Valley/Kenwood etc courses.

Any thoughts on the courses this year? Anyone in the know with an idea of the confirmed list?

I don't have enough in PayPal, so chose the Phone-In order option... and no one answers. Ha.
Hoping I can improve my finish in Advanced this year...

 

[DinosaurThunder]

With intermediate filling up already, will people be bumped up to adv at a certain rating to open up space for the wait list? I got a buddy who missed out on registration and was curious how that worked.

Doubt it.

Competition Manual 2.1 K All "Bump" rules are invalid and not allowed at PDGA sanctioned events. Players shall be allowed to play in any divisions they might be eligible for, if those divisions are offered by the Tournament Director.

 

[DinosaurThunder]

Doubt it.

Awesome info! Thanks!

Intermediate is full already?

 

[CelticSmoke]

From what I heard it is full and there are already 60 on the wait list

 

[Broken Shoulder]

Seriously? Where's the list of entries?

I think what you meant was there are already 60 signed up for intermediate and a wait list created for any spots that open up.
