You will be missed, see you soon.

Time to start making arrangements, Stage 1 registration opens Feb 1st https://www.pdgaeuroprotour.com/the-battle-at-bluebell-woods-presented-by-prodigy-europe/ The Inaugural Pdga Euro Doubles Title registration opens as well, 1 x 27 holes of best disc doubles, seeded by rating, per division, in grou...

So my assessment Nationals is ready to break into divisions to play for respective titles is not the popular one.
We'll host a traditional Nationals and NTN will be seeded World Cup format for everyone else, two one dayers with an overall points champion if necessary.
Oct 7th and 8th, Cheers

As an option if you Gents want to launch the 17/18 season with Nationals we could move the dates to September 9/10 at Loch Tay.

The Bdga Tour merges with The Quaich Tour at every possible crossroad.

Trevor and I just had a chat, one last question. In light of the UK disc golf calendar and the 4 two day and one 5 day events in the few weeks preceding Nationals, who out of the people on this thread will commit to attending if we run a traditional Nationals? 2 day 4X18 1v1 Match Play. Jester? Bruc...

No hard feelings Tom and Thanks for your concern, this has been a very informative debate regarding new ideas vs the old tradition. The opportunity to host or attend a two day disc golf event for 16 people is not appealing for reasons I'll explain in person sometime. No harm no foul, no grudges. Gla...

As I stated, there is nothing preventing you running all the other divisions you want to as one day events alongside the T16 Not a very legitimate way to run an event, force the top players from other divisions into an artificially propped up Open division thereby scraping off the competition from ...

The Nationals TD does not have the right to alter the format after the event has been awarded There is no such document. 14 years in DG terms is an eternity If you think about it dog years you might already have an epitaph. Why in your opinion does the Masters division (MPM) not deserve it's own ma...

I have two things to say, Firstly have you ever considered you are in the minority on this one? and secondly 14 years at our age is recent history

Jester, I understand why you disagree. This has nothing to do with irony or mandate and has everything to do with not only honoring agreements as stated but most importantly moving forward at unprecedented times for our sport in the UK on an event that has a recent history of format experimentation....

No worries Bruce, Thanks for your opinion is helping me evolve the event.

Thanks for your comments Tom and I look forward to our next round but I am sorry as well, the only thing up for debate on the Nationals format is the best way to host a one day event. I was granted Nationals given a certain set of rules and have accepted that criteria going forward, I would expect t...

http://www.bdga.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2014&p=24427&hilit=nationals+format#p24427 The thread opens with Charlie stating I logged in to the Forum expecting there to be a strand for Nationals and couldn't find one so have started this off - hope that is OK with everyone. I want to see if the...

After a good solid think about it, I must contradict what I previously stated, 54 holes is good for MPO & MA1, Champion & Plate respectively. Given strong attendance everyone else FPO, MPM, MA2, MJ1/FJ1 will play 36 holes.

I appreciate your opinions, which is why I posted this so early, I could have easily kept quit until September. I would like to make this a one day event as close to tradition as possible. We could make it 54 holes for everyone, I'm not opposed to this, makes for a long weekend of disc golf but we'r...

plus the 9 hole 'final' seems a bit of a let down. Why do you think its a let down? A 2-round, one-day Nationals is not a substantial enough test of player ability, esp on the mental game, to crown a worthy champion. In order to win the cup you'll have to better 7 players not just 4 as is the tradi...

Thanks for clarifying Phil.

A clarification Seamus, I think you're suggesting the Sunday event is strokeplay? yes. However, as regards it being on the 'tour'...our rule about tournaments being strokeplay is because we will be using the PDGA points in our points race towards the British Championships. Perhaps if you reported t...
