Hey Paul, now that you've played with Daniel Allgeier, do you think he is better than his 924 rating?
Also, there are like 8 people with the same start time and only 4 times. I think it is a PDGA website thing.
HB can give exact numbers but this is a guess based on the DGU signup page and HB's previous posts. He stated approximately 80 slots per pool and 8 pools gives 640 Max. Currently 580 signed up. Max of 60 total spots remaining.
Adv masters M & W - 1 Pool ~80 slots - 68 taken - 12 remaining
Intermediate - FULL
Rec M & W - 2 Pools ~160 slots - 151 taken - 9 Remaining
Adv M & W have 2 Pools + some overflow to the Adv GM M&W & SSM Pool.
In the 3 Pools 240 slots ~ Currently 203 taken (153 Adv & 50 Age Protected divisions). Probably about 25-30 Adv slots left.
The PDGA upload missed up, and started adding tee times for some reaso - hopefully that will go away soon.
SHOTGUN START ALL ROUNDS.
so do not pay that much attention to the PDGA site until just before the event, when we will assign pools by each name. And higher rated players will be nearer to the first hole in each pool.
The various other divisions that will fill very soon include rec men :7 spots, advanced masters - 9 spots, . . . so if you know some one who wants in do it quick!
Advanced men has 13 left, but I may be able to add another few if GM, FGM, SGM do not increase in the near time (pool D)

No charge, just come grab a stack of the latest blizzard, mamba, and who know what exce thay may bring and rip them down the marked field.
Of course you can also have them mark the best for the big gun qualifing - but here is a great chance to work on thet big D.

Is there no max rating for this tournament
No max rating, but you have to be an amateur (never accepted cash in a PDGA sanctioned event). Some players choose to remain amateurs, there is no ratings cap on the advanced division.
Here are the cutoffs for pros playing various divisions:
Because BG ams is an A tier not an NT/major, pros who fall under these ratings can play in am divisions.

^^^^ THat is what I saw and I was really confused as to why there were people in the tournament above that rating, and thanks Matt Im goin there just to have some fun and to Represent panda in the Advanced division and because I think I might have a shot at making the finals for the distance competition.

If you are a pro who has cashed in an NT/major then it doesn't matter what your rating is you can't play am anymore. If you are a pro who cashed in a tournament a, b, c tier and your rating is less than 970 you can still play advanced am. I could be wrong, but all am events are considered a tiers at best. For example I'm trying to get in to the beaver state fling Adv men this year. Even though the Beaver state fling is an NT the amateur beaver state fling is an A tier. So if I had cashed in a A,B,C tier the week before and my rating was over 970 then no I couldn't play advanced men, but if I was rated less than 970 I could play it still because the Am portion of the NT is an A tier.
My wife has had issues with this because she is rated higher than 850 and the cutoff for women cashing and playing Am is 850. The cutoff is ridiculous for women if you ask me. More than 100 rating points off the highest rated pro women out there. But the mens cutoff at 970 is roughly 70 off the highest rated mens player. Its kind of confusing and kinda stupid, but those are the rules as of last year and we all gotta play by em........
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but aren't all am tournaments A tier at best? I'm not sure about worlds, but don't all NT events that offer amateur divisions offer those am divisions as an A tier..........
maybe we should start a thread about this.......
Rec men - 2 openings, rec women, 2 openings, int women - 1 opening

For someone to just go and enjoy the festivities (bringing son,not play), would Worlds or Bowling Green a better arena? I'm leaning Worlds.
