Beaver State Fling Registration Survey

[sol]

As the Beaver State Fling is the flagship disc golf tournament for our area, I am interested in garnering some information on the recent registration events. Please respond only about the 2010 Beaver State Fling registration for now.

Thanks for participating in the poll!

(3) Will you continue to play the Beaver State Fling, if there is not a significant number of elite open pros?

(4) Would you be able to play if the tournament started on Thursday?

(5) (For Ams only) Would you still want to play, if one of your rounds was at Timber Park?

It seems like these sort of questions have been coming up in respect to the BSF sign up process last night, and I would love to see what other people think.

2) I do not feel as though I'm prepared skill-wise to compete at that level right now, so I would not sign up for pro.

5) I would still play if one of my rounds was at Timber.

That being said, it's become apparent that this tournament should become separate pro/am weekends.

I can't say I wouldn't participate if one of my rounds was at Timber or if it was held on separate weekends, but it certainly wouldn't be the same. I'd have to think about it.

To me, a big attraction of the Fling is competing on the same courses at (roughly) the same time as the top pros in our game. It's pretty awesome to throw down a 70 on the west course in the morning and then hear about someone destroying the course in the afternoon with a 48. It's also pretty awesome to bump into Dave, Ken, Avery, Nicco, etc. between rounds.

I hope people will share their thoughts here. Thanks

(1) If you did not get in, what time did you first try to sign up?
--- I got in. I had the site up at 5:55 and was waiting for 6pm to arrive.

(2) (For Ams only) If you could ensure you would be able to sign up during the Amateur sign up process, would you still sign up in open?
--- I'm registered with PDGA as Am, but it's about time to step up and play pro.. so yes I would have still registered as Pro.

(3) Will you continue to play the Beaver State Fling, if there is not a significant number of elite open pros?
--- Yes, this is not the main reason I play the event.

(4) Would you be able to play if the tournament started on Thursday?
--- Perhaps, but it would be a harder "sell".

(5) (For Ams only) Would you still want to play, if one of your rounds was at Timber Park?
--- N/A for me.
