No reason, but just have to ask...(insert finger in eye)
Why is an AM Only event called an "Open"?

If we're splitting hairs here, then why do they call them "The Giants"?

Because "Bad Monkey Amateur Open" is too hard to say. Open doesn't refer to the divisions available it refers to the fact that it isn't an invitational.

Thanks for asking!

Final 9 for Top 4
All divisions or just the top division like tournaments past? FWIW, I vote for all divisions.

Thanks for answering...

Wasnt trying to be an a**, though I am good at it..

It's just in my 20+ yrs.."OPEN" typically is used when an event is "OPEN" to all , not just AMS.

The length of time we believe something has very little affect on reality.

well it is my understanding that using the word "open" in a tournament is refering to the division that is playing. most tournaments also include am divisions, but the tournaments are focused around the Open division.

if there is not Open division, how can a tournament be called an open tournament? and along those lines, you cant say its called open because its open to everybody, because its not open to the Open players.

I think it goes a little something like that.

Where are all the "friends of animals" out there that are up in arms because we are calling this event the bad MONKEY open. For those of you that wondered this event is not only NOT Open for Open players but we will also be discriminating against MONKEYS. Also, BAD players are also prohibited.

Effectively immediately the BAD MONKEY OPEN will now be called the GOOD PEOPLE AM ONLY disc golf tournament.

Oh yeah, I really came here to remind everyone that registration opens on Sunday May 1st at http://bit.ly/GoodPeopleAmOnlyDiscGolfTournament formerly http://www.badmonkeyopen.com
