Now your stuck on the wait list for the most part. I have only seen one big name on the pro wait list so far but a lot of pros who will be missing out.

 

[volkswagen]

missing out? that's a very subjective term.

 

[cjman]

They'll miss out on playing those flat, boring courses.
They'll miss out on staying in a podunk town.

 

[TalbotTrojan]

Make up whatever excuse you want, but you know Dynamic is going to run a great event. Not being there will be missing out.

 

[cjman]

Sure it will be a good event. But not all pros are drawn to the circus atmosphere.
Last year the course official for MA1 wasn't up to speed on the rules though. He told players they couldn't use a range finder. Kinda weak.

 

[sidewinder22]

I can't imagine the logistics.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

lots of team trilogy volunteers on board im sure.

Is it legal to use one? I would love to use one on courses I have to play blind? Can you point me where in the rule book it is legal? However...I'm guessing you were being sarcastic and it's not legal. lol...

 

[Aim For The Chains]

its legal but im too lazy to quote. the rule book is searchable by word tho so good luck.

 

[Rob Martin]

NO...It is not legal to use a range finder.

 

[Columbia gorge]

Yes it is now legal to use a range finder.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

yeah get with 2014 and the DGCR times you would have known longggggggg ago.













like I SAID ALREADY.

NO...It is not legal to use a range finder.

No they won't. There's plenty of podunk towns with flat boring courses out there.

 

[Dan Ensor]

GBO is like a unicorn for me. Looks like I'm missing another year. Playing, anyway.

 

[AByrd]

Yes, they are legal. The 2013 rules indirectly made them legal by not stating they were illegal as before versus simply stating they were legal.

Chuck? Wanna chime in on this?

 

[Cgkdisc]

Yes, all types of electronic equipment are now legal for use during play whether using rangefinder or using GPS apps in smartphones as long as it doesn't delay making your throws.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

so glad the TD's running events are on top of this kind of stuff.

 

[JohtoVillage]

I believe because this is an NT they will have to hold 10 spots for touring pros plus a few more spots. I wonder how that's going to work considering that it appears MPO is filled...
