FAQ:
Why is DiscNW running a disc golf tournament - don't you guys do ultimate stuff?
We want to have a fun, social event for disc enthusiasts. It will be a fun way for us to encourage ultimate players to try disc golf. And it is all in the name of promoting youth ultimate.
$20 per player - that's a lot! What gives?
Yes, that is more than other tournaments - especially for only one round of play. This event is a fundraiser for youth ultimate in the area. To learn more about youth ultimate programs, visit our
youth page.
Why are you scheduling this so close to the
Seattle Superclassic?
We wanted to have an event in the fall, and there aren't that many open weekends with good weather left. I have talked with Edge about it, and he didn't think that there would be a problem. This event is aiming to attract a different group of players - that is, ultimate players and folks that want to try a very casual golf tournament.
Is this a PDGA event?
No, this year we are running it on our own. We will look into PDGA sanctioning if we run the event again next year.
Okay, I might be interested. What will be in the players packs?
The first 50 players to register and pay will receive an Innova Zephyr. All players will receive a DiscNW marker disc. We are working to get more goodies.
