I thought there was pre-registration at the fundraiser over this last weekend.

We had 23 pre-registrations at the Rosebud fundraiser. We will update the list to pdga soon, before Friday for sure.

Check it.

We are capping two divisions in the interest of balanced flights. MA1 will be capped at 48 (12 spots are already taken due to early registration at the Rose Bud) and MM1 will be capped at 24 (3 spots are already taken due to early registration at the Rose Bud.)

If the pro flight does not look like it will round itself out, we will then pull from the waitlist to fill the amateur divisions to levels similar to last year. As we get closer to tee time, an official schedule with flight assignments will be posted and emailed to registered players who we have addresses for.

^ Thank you.

This tourney is next on my list as far as "eagerly awaiting registration" goes. (:
My calendar is quickly filling up with PDX tourney awesomeness.
Can't wait!

Thanks for the info.

Just a reminder that online registration is now open at:

http://www.4DiscGolf.com/12RCO

In fact 14 people registered in the first 10 minutes.

Additional information, including waitlist signup should any division fill, is available at www.rosecityopen.com. We will post the schedule and final pool assignments in the coming weeks on that site as well.

Crawfolk in the house!

The number of remaining spots is misleading though. It only represents one pool...20 online registrations + 23 pre-registrations = 46/144

Ah! I was wondering that very thing :-) good call clearing that one up on the boards. I wouldn't want to cause a panic.

Wish I could make it this year.

Well the 2012 RCO is just over half full. There are 11 spots remaining in each of the MA1 and MM1 divisions according to our tentative division caps of 48 and 24, respectively.

We will give all pro and the FA1 divisions a couple weeks or so to build and at that point we might be able to let in more MA1 and MM1 but please don't leave that to chance!

Current registration has been uploaded to the pdga page.
