Huge ups for Ron, John, Greg, and Eric.
We weedwacked the shit out of that bad boy today, Eric brought his fairway mower to speed things along.

The course is awesome, all ready for record setting play, no excuses about the tall stuff wrecking your shot.
You wanna talk about how tall the grass was, just look at the stuff near tourney central, west of the #7 tee.
The grass is over your head in areas that have not be tended to.

Bring on the battle !

You guys kick ass! Aye Aye Captain Jack!

Agreed!!!! Seatac is looking fantastic. I was there earlier this week and started to get a little concerned, but the Tac sure does clean up nicely.

To all those working their butts off for this event - Thank You Very Much!!!


We currently have 62 in the A Pool & 65 in the B Pool. 17 spots left.


Here is a copy of the Course Specs for the weekend. A copy will also be handed out to each player when the check in.

Nice work on the Battle. Great weekend and even greater disc golf!! Thanks for all of your hard works guys!!

[Sean Phillips]

I'm already home. Thank you for getting things rapped up fairly quickly.

Courses were beautiful. I can see there's been some serious hours spent out at both getting things in shape. We all appreciate the hard work.

Congratulations to my good friends Brody Miller and Josh Westmoreland for their wins in Open and Advance.

[LakeStevensBA]

Congratulations to Eric Illg for winning Adv Masters. All that work you do at Seatac brought you some serious karma and mojo. Way to go!

Thanks to Rideout and Tim. Well done guys. Awesome tourney, smooth and well organized. I also wanted to thank and congratulate Erik Illg. It's great to see you get back for how much you put it to Seatac.

WOW, that must have been an interesting final 9?

[LJ Jubner]

I am curious why the Open payout is prominently posted but not the Am side?
I heard $20 scrip for first in AM II (53 players), $35 for Adv Master (12)

Upon further review:
Looking over official pDGA results. It seems nearly 85% of all tournaments do not post AM payouts.


I call on all Tournament directors to volunteeringly include the value of scrip/place when posting their results officially. Or post, why they declined to participate ?

Jub, I don’t really care about you, anything you have to say, or anything you call upon. I also don’t really care if people feel that I should expose all the books – it’s not going to happen. If players don’t feel they’re getting their monies worth, they can play a different event.

The number of players in a division has nothing to do with the division’s payout. It's the cost per player you need to be worried about.

Intermediates paid $35 to play. Player's packs & tourney costs were higher than $35. When you combined the loss taken from all 53 intermediate players and make that financial hole even deeper with the $305 total payout for the intermediate division - Intermediate players having nothing but good things happening. They got way more than they paid for.

Advanced divisions had a few buck left after their entry fees & we added cash to all those divisions as well.

Rock on Rideout!

I have NEVER been disappointed with a Rideout tournament. Sure, I've been disappointed by my play more than a few times... but never by the event itself.

Jub... seriously... give it a rest.

This may be my favorite post. Ever.

[LJ Jubner]

I am not saying anything was shady!!!

I realize costs eat up payout it just would be nice to know how much each place got.

[Toby Puttzinski]

After reading your post, Jub, I deduced that you were implying the payouts were 'Jubberish'. What's that old saying... your mouth is writing more checks than your ass can cash?
