HI,
Last season I played too many tourneys with 5 Sums. Is there any way you guys can say 4 in a group max ?
5 is too much in ball golf and disc golf.

Thanks

We do limit the Sinnissippi event to foursomes due to length of course. But the reality is that even with running split day events there are a lot of people that like playing the IOS. If we limited all event to foursomes then that is 40 less players that we can accommodate.

We also from time to time have to make decisions when there are only five players in one of the smaller divisions. Usually we get pressure to put them all on one card rather than splitting them and running them on a card mixed with other divisions.

Mike,
A friend of mine said if you like 4sums play A tiers. Is it true A tiers are normally limited to 4sums ?
With that being said I will make it a point to play Sinnissippi.
I see tourneys that say 95 max then they bump it up. I don't want to be a cry baby but I know what I like, and I like 4sums.
Always can count on Rockford with 3 courses no way it could fill.

Thanks

It really depends on the TD. Competition manual specifies fivesomes as a limit (regardless of Tier). In general the number of people at our events is that we are usually at groups of four, but other than Sinnissippi, I make no guarantees.

We played at Channy last Wednesday for league and the course looks picturesque. The creek and other water pocket areas were high but the course was almost completely dry. It's a perfect time for a tournament out there.

[pickax]

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

Don't forget to show your Discontinuum tag when you checkin for the IOS this weekend to represent your club.

Over 100 players are registered for this weekend (just over half full). Pre-registration is highly recommended.
