2006 Am Worlds in Tulsa

[Jon Brakel]

Check out http://www.2006amworlds.org/ for the official website. Check http://www.pdga.com/documents/2006/2006invites.php for invites and waiting list.

I don't plan on going but I received my first invitation to Worlds ever (other than my 2004 invitation to be a TD). They invited 13 Am Masters from Illinois and I was #9 in points for 2005.

Anyone planning on going?

[El Mexicano]

I will definately be going. My buddy lives in Tulsa, so I've got a free place to stay with the person who got me addicted to this drug called Disc Golf!

[Bruce Brakel]

I missed getting an invite by eight points.  Kind of like the PDGA's way of punishing amateurs for playing up and supporting the pro payout at a couple of tournaments, I guess.  After the revolution, amateurs will get to count their pro points double toward anything where points matter!

Hey Juancho! How would you like the company of another mexicano on that burn to Tulsa? I'm invited and looking forward to my first worlds. Are you bringing the family?

Does everybody understand this is a no-payout tournament?  You know, like what the advanced players would not play last year at Bevier?[/color][/size]

I am certain that Bevier has the same draw as Worlds does.  Geez, you're right, no diff.  I wonder what all those advanced players who didn't cash at Bowling Green were doing wasting their time going there?     
Maybe they thought it was a pretty cool tournament on a pretty cool course with pretty good competition?  Maybe.  Then again, maybe not.  Tom, why did you go?   

[CEValkyrie]

Am Worlds is a no payout event? Wow! $100 entry fee.

[Cannon Boy]

WTF  that is BS  I want my money back

[Bruce Brakel]

Am Worlds is being run by a pro who literally hates Ams.  He thinks that the ratings cap on Rec should be 900 and that that should be the only amateur division.  In his opinion, if you are over 900 you should either play pro or not play.

He has been ranting on PDGA.com for about a week.  Someone associated with Tulsa Worlds needs to cut his cable and keep cutting it every day from now until July.

Well this could make it eisier for me to become AM champ by narrowing the field

[DougEDawg]

What an oxymoron....running a World ametuer event that he hates.

I don't think anyone knows.  It's not like they are publicizing this on their website.  Kevin blurted it out on his rant thread yesterday.

a little reminder that rockford's leg of the ios falls during the am worlds.  nothing is written in stone but we should have a bit of added cash and for a fraction of the efforts, time, and money spent you can come to here and have just as good a time.
