Help clarify this for me, will ya Billy?

But if you pre-register before Chris can change the Birdshot website that says "CASH payout" then you're grandfathered into cash payout.

It mostly has to do with the fact that DGC is our title sponsor, Larry...and if they were interested in vending we feel like we should give them that option. It's no different than them vending for you guys who run the HFDS leagues....aren't the AMs payed in plastic for HFDS leagues? They're not PDGA sanctioned either..same difference. Chris has already posted on our website that it will be cash payout, though...so that's probably what it will end up being.

The post actually stands about 30' tall from the tee but 27' of the post is obscured because it's under the amphitheater's hill.

When you start throwing your disc(s) under or through the hill then you can count the post at 30'... until then it's a 3' tall mando marker located at a perspective from which the players throwing will have a very difficult time determining if a disc in the air crosses on the correct side of the mando. It's inviting controversy.

Hey guys...this IS just a fundraiser, you know....

[bmugwump]

Alright peoples! I just got off the phone with Andi & DGC assured me that we have their blessing for cash payout...which all of our minis have always been. There have been a couple of non-sanctioned events where DGC vended for us, but only a couple. Andi & Don will be there, however, with lots of stuff for anyone who might need to spend some Christmas money on some plastic! Hopefully lots of people will show up so we can give another generous donation to Masters & States course funds!

Hey, if anybody's off tomorrow there are a few of us heading over to Bass to play both backasswards courses....Chuck might even get there at sunrise!....but the rest of us plan on meeting at the Wilmont parking lot around 8:30....come & check out the layout if you dare!
