Am Worlds waitlist

[Chainmeister]

Waitlist is a misnomer.  Its is actually a notification list.  I missed the cut of invitees and will sweat out the second wave of registration. I am only on the cusp of old age.  My points were gathered as a master but I will play as a grandmaster.  Accordingly, I needed 400 rather than 140 points to qualify.  Next year, as a fully aged  AARP eligible codger, I should be ok unless something screwy happens this year.  PDGA will send those on the notification list a message telling them that open season has begun for registering.  I still want to play and  will register as soon as I hear from them sometime in May.  I received this e-mail from PDGA:

Hi David,

Thank you for submitting your name for the notification list for the 2007 PDGA Worlds. Your name has been added to the list. Let me give you a quick summary of how the process will work this year.

The list of original invitees (available at the website) will be sent an invitation package (around March 15th) either via email or direct mail for those without an email address. They will then have 60 days to register before we open registration to all current and eligible 2007 members. Then, around the 15th of May, the names we collect, yours included, will receive an email containing the link to the invitation package. If no email is provided a hard copy will be mailed to the home address we have on file. Registrations will be taken on a first come first serve basis so make sure you act fast! Your info and payment must be received to secure your spot.

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

Have a great day! See you at the Worlds!

I'm not sure that matters. Did you ask them about that? I'd think that since you're officially old now that your points would count in the officially old division.

How do I get on the list?

How do I get on the list?

Go to http://www.pdga.com/documents/2007/2007invites.php

If you click on the Waiting List Information, it'll pull up the info. You can either e-mail or call it in.

Thanks.  did it and recieved the same email as David.   well except my email said my name 

[stpitner]

well, I would sign up for the waiting list, but the tournament is the same week as my wife's due date.  I don't think I want to miss out on the birth of my first child, and even if the baby comes early or late, I won't have a whole lot of time to think about disc golf while prepping for the baby or taking care of the baby!

Hope all of you have a fantastic time up there!

[Dan Michler]

You can have more kids, but who knows the next time you will have Worlds so close to home.  You could always videotape the birth and watch it later too, although that sounds a little disgusting to me.  Besides, you being there really has no effect on the outcome.  If you wife loves you she'll want you to go.

I need to hurry up and get on that. I have totally procrastinated in getting my money sent in. I don't think it will fill, but hotels sure will!

[dana vicich]

5 bucks says it fills

Before I get in on that action, how are you defining full?

[Bruce Brakel]

Full is 8 X 72 = 576.

5 bucks says it fills

If 576 is full then I'm taking that bet.

[Fox Metro Discer]

How can there be 8 X 72 when there are only 4 courses for Worlds?

3 rounds per day on all 4 courses.

Posted by Terry Miller via the PDGA Board
"The max capacity for the event is in fact 576. That is a HARD NUMBER because we are using 4 courses which will be running 3 rounds on them per day. The numbers don't lie - 576 is the max and we may be the first Am (or Pro) Worlds to ever fill to FULL CAPACITY. "
