Please consider purchasing a tee sign to support the event and make sure you get to play. In the past MPO, MP40 and MA1 have filled in under a minute. Some of the other divisions can take 3-5 minutes to fill. Don't take a chance on missing out. There are still a few campsites (as of March 14th) available, but the tournament staff are not responsible to help with camping reservations. Please visit the following website to book your site. Please remember check out is 11:00am, if you don't reserve Sunday evening, you will need to be out of your campsite fully before your final round. Pro tip, just book Sunday night too! https://properties.camping.com/whistler's-bend-park/reservations Amateur side of the event will be players pack only, we will make sure players get HOOKED UP in value and will be playing for trophies for 1st-3rd place in each division. Roughly $100 of every AM entry fee will be used to provide players pack items at COST, not RETAIL to all AM players. We estimate costs of roughly $15/player for park reservations, $5 PDGA fees, a few bucks for trophy fees and anything else little that pops up. If you have played this event before, you know the players packs will be well worth the value. We are finalizing what those are now, but do not have definite answers yet for what's included. We will post as we get things secured. Pro side of the event will be playing for paypal payouts and trophies for 1st-3rd place in each division. Tournament staff will move any open spots to players on the wait list on June 16th. This policy will be in place to make sure we have the maximum amount of players in the event. The timeframe allows over two months for each division to fill before wait list players fill those spots. We also reserve the right to keep some spots open in values of 4 to help make full cards for specific divisions. Fees- The park is $750/day for us to reserve the course, so $2250 for the three day event. Judging by a field of 200 players we will be splitting that evenly amongst all players for a total of $11.25/player. This amount will vary depending on the number of players who actually end up playing that weekend. PDGA Fees for an A tier are sanctioning fee plus $4/players which breaks down to $5/player total to the PDGA. Pro players will play for their share of $3000 added cash plus the roughly $133.75 that remains after the pass-through fees. Am players will have the same pass through fees of roughly $16.25 but will also have trophy costs that come out of their entry. Those trophy costs are still in the works but they will not exceed $5/player. This will leave roughly $108 of each AM entry to go to players packs! We do the best we can to charge as close to COST NOT RETAIL for the players packs! We are always fully transparent with where your money goes for our event! We want to make sure this event is a must play each summer and the player experience is a key factor to that. For divisions that are not full. May 1st, four spots will be removed from any division which has eight or more spots still available and wait list players will be promoted from the time they got on the wait list. June 1st, four spots will be removed from any division that has more than four spots left, or any amount to knock it down to the next full card level (4, 8, 12 or however it works out). July 1st all open spots will be moved to players on the wait list by the date that the player got on the wait list. All wait list spots will be filled within flight, Am spots will be filled by Am players.. Pro spots by pro players. Example: Fpo has 20 spots. If there are more than eight spots left open by 5/1/24, four of those spots will be moved to wait list players from other division and there would be 16 left. If there are less than 12 players signed up by 6/1/24, four more spots would be moved over to wait list players leaving 12 spots left in that division total. On 7/1/24 any remaining open spots will be transferred to wait list players. We want to make sure the maximum amount of players get to play this event. This wait list plan lets players have 26 days from the time general registration opens to sign up before any spots are moved over to other divisions. It also leaves spots left to fill out cards so we don't have mixed cards until less than two weeks before the event. If you know people wanting to play in the division with lower sign up numbers please encourage them to get registered before May 1st so their division doesn't lose spots to wait list folks.
