No. You have the right to play in the event or to not play in the event. Look at how the fees are set up and who gets what and make your informed decision as to whether you want to participate.

And Jubby, you know I love you, but the coherence of the last post escapes me. I was able to get the question pretty clear though so I answered that.

Series Fees are a developing topic. Under the NWDGA, the NW Series portion will only be $3 ($1 NWDGA, $1 Admin Fees, $1 Payout. $2 will go to the hosting Local Club. Please read my above post for more explanation on Fees.

Fees are always going to be a huge discussion topic. Just the word "Fees" expresses that you "owe" something. Well I feel we all do. We owe it to ourselves....

Discussions are underway to allow existing events (Windy, Ft Stilly, Lava) to become part of the NW Series without instituting any Series Fee.

It seems silly to detour people from future development of a region for $3. It could be offered as an optional Fee for those players who wish to qualify for the Series Final. It seems like a pety thing to ask for $3 ($1 NWDGA, $1 AD Fees, $1 Series Payout) from people after they have pre-registered. Announcements could be made to come to the NWDGA table for new memberships and to "sign up" for the Series. This way only the players who have plans to make enough events can choose to sign in or not. Points will be totaled for all players at these events but will only count towards a "qualifying player's" Top 3. I would love to have some input from you all.

It's interesting how well you spin sam. You made my complement into a dig?
Maybe you could offer some insight instead of quick quips and jabs.

What do you think about my question? Can players decline to participate in series fees or designate them as donations to the "local host clubs"?

Jub you completely ignored my post and I am feeling left out. Go back and read it, calculate how far a $3.00 dollar fee goes, factor in all the items I described and then tell us how much profit was attained from this adventure. I know it could require some work on your part and some assumptions but you are good at those so I will wait patiently for your reply.

Oregon Series was classified as nothing it is just a series of events, Northwest Disc Golf Promotions was classified as a Not-for-Profit.

Andrew, I don't take your posts as a dig against the Bellingers and you have always been supportive of the Oregon Series. I appreciate the path you are taking and the amount of work you will be putting forth into disc golf. I think we both know that most of the information on here is speculation and if we want real answers we need to go to the source. Perhaps you can ask these same questions to Cris and Teresa directly but by no means are they required to post on any forum about anything regarding the Oregon Series and their involvement for the last 8 years. Their public service announcement was nothing more than that and should be read as an announcement.

Good luck and I look forward to the Northwest Series!
