Holy short notice, Batman!

LegoRules · #3 April 14th, 2009, 12:25 PM

Wow that does not give us much time. I might have to pass this year.

It's all part of the master plan. (just kidding) Jerry has been on Vacation for a couple of weeks. Val asked me to set it up so I did.

LJ Jubner · #5 April 14th, 2009, 12:28 PM

Just beacuse it short notice does not mean you still can't find your way out on Sat. Get the pack or not it's still a great chance to support DG worldwide! jub

I don't see this as a valid reason. Even if Jerry announced the event (and cut off date for ordering) before he went on vacation, that would still be less than two weeks notice, which isn't very much.

Jerry does WB every year. I'm guessing he knew he was going to run WB in 2009 even before the one in 2008 even ended. Why does it take 11 1/2 months to announce anything?

Sam · #7 April 14th, 2009, 06:42 PM

Why all of the complaining? Other events sell out in 24 hours. Why not this one?

Sorry... couldn't help myself.

By the way... it's weird that the flyer says that players' packs will be ordered after the event...

Bruce · #8 April 14th, 2009, 08:06 PM

If you don't pre reg, WB players packs have always been ordered after the event, Sam :P

LJ Jubner · #9 April 14th, 2009, 08:12 PM

At least the good news is he did not bail on a series at the last moment.wink wink nudge nudge say no more

Maybe there needs to be another thread about the protocol for announcing events. What is a fair lead time to sign up?

Yes! depot does WBDGW every year. But after the ace race controversy last fall he did not want to step on anyone Else's toes who might be thinking they would run WBDGW this year Same with Ice Bowl.

Sam the PP things is easy by ordering after the event and you get exactly how many you need no speculation involved.

Naturally.

The OP (opening post) in this thread stated that if you signed up today or tomorrow, you would get your player's pack at the event.

The flyer states that players' packs would be ordered after the event.

Am I really the only one who sees this as two different statements that contradict each other?

It's not that the flyer contradicts what Jub said here... it's that the flyer doesn't say anything at all about the ability to pre-order by 4/15.

JMan · #13 April 14th, 2009, 09:05 PM

No, I see it. And I see using stepping on another event, one he never ran, as an excuse to not announce an event he always ran...wtf? But, so what; it doesn't change the amount of annie I need on hole 11 at Pier tomorrow afternoon.

In fairness, this could have been a Jub invention. An InJubtion, if you will. Or a Jubvention.

But yeah... that's pretty much why I threw the

out there. Total WTF and total Red Herring.

I guess this was not clear enough to get throught all the smoke haze and empty beer cans.

According to you all the Bottom line is Jerry is damned if he does and damned if he does not. I guess there is just no pleasing any of you. I am pretty sure thats why no one ever tries too anymore.

Jub, try to keep up here, OK?

The flyer states "Players Packs will be ordered after event and available for
pick up at Disc Golf Depot. More details to be announced". It makes no mention of the option to order player's packs by the 15th.

What the hell does that have to do with the topic on hand?

Not a bad idea. Would Mr. Miller follow that protocol? Would he even read it?

Did you honestly think anyone would buy what you're selling here? This is one of the few times I wish ODSA was online, so I could look at posts from years past. A two-week advance notice before the event has been the rule, not the exception, to Jerry's WB events.

And it's sooooo convenient for the players, too. On the plus side, it does bring additional foot traffic into Jerry's garage.

It has to do with others who announce events or SERIES and then bail two weeks before Like the Bellingers and the Ore series and the recent WA series coup the day before Aloha

The real question is will you as a DG quit whineing about too short of a notice to attend if the protocols are established.

I too wish for archives and then I could reference the stink made about the Ace Race last fall (by the way Jman) Jerry has run the ace race several times in the past 7 or so year. Back in 04 he preordered the PP and got stuck by those who said they would attend but did not.

And it's sooooo convenient for the players, too. On the plus side, it does bring additional foot traffic into Jerry's garage.

God you don't whine about having to go to next adventure to redeem scrip. It seems to me there is enough "convienece" for the golfers already. Maybe he should drive them around to all of you. Maybe he should call first and see if you want him to pick anything else up for you on his way to your house.

This reminds me of the self gain ************ song. Me! Me-Me! Me Me-Me! Me!

Is this the kind of language we want children and parks and rec officials to see on the forum? The garbled syntax and poor spelling is bad enough....

LJ Jubner · #20 April 15th, 2009, 08:23 AM

Point taken but still applies Why does the entire community need to be redesigned just so a few lazy players might particapte.
