Tournament Names are Out of Control

[DavidSauls]

About 15 years ago, I counted up 72 tournaments with the name "Championship" in them. With up to 27 divisions, I figured there was a championship available for everyone, and I was being left out.

At that time, South Carolina had two long-running championships -- the South Carolina Disc Golf Championship, and the South Carolina Flying Disc Championship (which was an old-style, disc golf + field events tournament). Then someone started a new event in the state and dubbed it the "Tournament Players Championship". So 3 of the "championships" were in my little state....and I still couldn't win one.

But, yeah, I think you have free reign for any bombastic event name you can think of.

Years ago, I ran a weekly league naming it with the intent to have it be the longest name on the PDGA event list. I had a little back and forth with the PDGA to truncate the name, since they weren't able to accomodate my original "naming convention".

I REALLY want to play that event, ru

Despite my objections to any 1st event having the word annual attached

I dont really mind other than the CANNABIS IS THE BEST DOPE EVER FOR REALS DUDE OPEN 2022

I know, I know. Its legal in a lot of places. I've partaken in my youth several times. Its not a "drug" in my books as much as the rest. But still to have it in a tournament name and advertising is just weird.
