Hello everyone,
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about recent PDGA postings for tournaments in the Seattle area. This is to kind of whet y’alls appetite about some of the cool events the club will be putting together for this season as part of the Chainbangers Club Summer Series
Anyway, onto the schedule:
On
April 9th and 10th we’ll get things rolling with both a
Northside and
Southside Series Opener. Each will be a 1-day PDGA singles event to get everyone warmed up for the coming disc golf season.
On
Friday June 10th, we’ll be putting together an official pre-Battle in Seattle BYOP PDGA doubles tournament called “
Calm Before the Battle”. This will be a one-round affair at Lakewood starting in the afternoon so you can put the final touches on your Battle plan for the weekend.
July is going to be a full month of really unique events including two State Championships:
The
Sudoku Showdown will be held at SeaTac on
Saturday, July 9th. This will be a '150 Class' (<159.9grams) tournament where players can throw only 150 class discs, just like the Japan Open. Word from PDGA is that this will be the first sanctioned 150 class event in the US!
The
Washington State SuperClass Championships will be the first-ever chance to take home a State SuperClass title in Washington or anywhere! This will be a standard PDGA singles event on
Sunday, July 24th similar to last year’s Seattle SuperClassic event. Like the Sudoku Showdown, the Washington State SuperClass will all have lower entry fees and a focus on trying out other disc golf options rather than playing for $$$ and prizes.
On
Sunday August 21st, we'll be hosting a PDGA sanctioned matchplay tournament at SeaTac. Details are being hammered out regarding the exact format but look for the
SeaTac Matchplay Showdown to be popping up on the PDGA calendar soon.
Finally, we’ll be wrapping up the series on
October 1st with the
Chainbangers Summer Series Finale. We’re still investigating different formats for this one (ideas appreciated), but rest-assured it will be a fun wrap-up to the summer series with plenty of golf, side games, and an after-party!
