BDGA Nationals 2016 & Hyzerween Side Competition - Manchester 29th & 30th - Sign up now!

[duffaSteve]

Manchester Disc Golf is proud to host this year's BDGA nationals tournament, as well as our ‘not-the-nationals’ side tournament for everyone, Hyzerween! Both events will be played on the tournament layout of our Longford Park home course and will cost £35 per person.

The event is completely non-profit and we aim to spend every pound on the tournament experience and the prize packages, including a new tournament-logo Compass disc from Latitude 64 in Opto plastic for everyone, a free meal on Saturday night and a few surprises along the way!

You can sign-up here, https://goo.gl/forms/sYv0F0mpyyz4qHI23

...and if we have signed up and paid, how do we know that you know that we have signed up and paid, please?

Is there a list of registered players or further information imminent, please?

Many thanks.

Likely to be published after the top 16 is set in stone, not everyone has agreed to a place yet, however I imagine your place is secured

[BOF]

I heard loose rumours of Masters division Hyzerween, Masters Match-play, etc.

Can you confirm or deny any of the above?

Thanks

BOF

[Mark.A.D]

No match-play outside of the top 16 has been mentioned

Edit- Jester has qualified for the top 16 match-play as masters title winner, currently seeded 12th due to drop outs.

Jonny Morris has also confirmed he will miss the event so doesn't seem to be many of the masters there to have a separate match-play event

[alan.heckman]

BOF - if you register for the event and pay the fee, you will receive a confirmation email within a day or two, when we process for payment.

Many more details about the event are available on our event page. Please visit http://www.manchesterdiscgolf.co.uk/bdg ... ween-2016/ for all the info.

We ARE running a masters division for the side tournament, Hyzerween, but this is structured as stroke play, not match play. This is a PDGA sanctioned c-tier event. We may not run all divisions we are considering if there is not enough interest, but currently 5 people are signed up to play Masters, and we are planning on running every division that has at least 4.

We will release a list of players when the 16 people competing in Nationals are confirmed. Currently we have 12 signed up of the 16, and an additional two on the list above who have indicated somehow to Tom that they are coming but have not signed up yet. There are a total of 30 people sign up for the combined event.

I hope we see you there!

[Jester]

Signed up and paid to compete in Top 16 Nationals.

[bruce]

Alan, by day I am Bruce, but occasionally I am known as Neil Webber...

[BOF]

Thanks, Alan.

Three rounds of stroke-play sound perfect.

Would it be OK to arrive early on the Saturday morning for a stroll around the course and a warm-up?

The park and course is free to use and peruse

[alan.heckman]

Hi BOF

As Mark says, our course is generally always open for anyone to play for free. (Although for this event we have permission from the council to close it to other players!) You are certainly welcome to come and walk the course or play on Saturday morning. Arriving early is a good idea anyway, because you won't need to compete with the Parkrunners for parking if you arrive before about 8:45.

We are adding difficulty to the course with our tournament layout OB zones for this event. We aim to have the course tournament ready by Thursday night, so Friday is also great for previewing the course if you or anyone else wants to come early. We are also holding a mini pub crawl on Friday night if that sounds tempting!

[BOF]

Thank you all for your comments.

I shall see if I can convince the family to come over to Manchester with me on Friday to allow me a peek at the course.

Failing that, I shall be there bright and early on Saturday.

Big thanks to Alan and everyone else who helped with the tournament -preparing the course, registration, refreshments, .....etc. Only played one day but good to play the course again and meet more local players Great that the local player base is growing
