when/where will the flymart be ?  do you have room for more vendors ?  how much for a booth ?

For the last few years, we have not had a "Flymart" night. We have always had the sponsoring vendors at Swope Park all day on Sunday lined up along hole 4. If you want to talk to me about getting in on that, you would need to contact me and we can work something out.

Do we have a current list of the ground rules?
Was the final decision was that a participant's primary residence must be on the side where you play? 

Also, could Tracy please remind everyone about the charitable cause for which we are playing.

I understand why we don't have am and masters divisions.   Beyond a handful of pros on each side, it would be tough to fill a roster without ams and old guys.  But, why don't we have a women's division?  Is it because there are not enough west side women who want to play?

It was a captain's vote. For the record, West Side voted to keep the women's division. But was fine with it either way so we went with the lEast Side decision.

Eastwood, I get what your saying. The problem is is that there are people who won't play if they have to play for the East side. Regardless of what you may think of that persons opinion, it is what it is. This allows people to continue to play in the event on the side they would like to play for.

With Dick being super busy with KCWO TD work, Joe Hesting has volunteered to assistant captain on the West Side to take care of the grunt work in finalizing the KS team.  Thanks Joe.

Wow, Dick is already bailing as West Side team captain?  Looks like he sees the writing on the wall this year.  EAST SIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hah. Yeah, that's it. You least siders are so clever.

We are still in need of volunteers for the Wide Open. If you are not intending on playing this year, but would like to help, we can use you. Please follow the link below and get signed up.

http://kcfdc.org/kcwo-volunteers-needed/

We need as many people at Blue Valley Saturday and Sunday as possible due to the tall grass on the sides of some of the fairways and also because of the nature of the long holes. Please help if you can. We want to give everyone the best experience as possible while playing and this is a great way to do it.

We have 1 left at Disc Golf World. #300. I'm not sure what is left at DD. There are 25 more on order as of yesterday. If for some reason we need to order more, we have the ability. So while it is limited in the immediate future, we will have more soon.

That only refers to Major events. Once you take cash in a Pro division you can not play Major Am events. So no Pro Am Worlds basically. Other than that, as long as your rating is low enough, you can play all the Am events you want.

For those who wish to sign up the old fashion way, we have a downloadable form you can print out and bring in to either DD or Disc Golf World.

You may also notice that the form mentions a flex start doubles at Water Works on Thursday from 8 am - 3 pm. Cash payouts for Open players and Prize payouts for Amateurs. $40 Pros - $30 Ams. Any division can be opened as long as we have 2 teams participating.

Met Center was a waste of time for me. I mentioned this on a facebook post at some point and was slammed by some locals. It made me laugh.

Another set of qualifiers for East Side were determined this weekend at the City of Fountains event.  I scoured through the results and found the following to be the individuals that have tentatively made Team East Side. Tentative because I going by PDGA listing for their location and these players have to be active KCFDC members prior to the Team Challenge.

119 - Eric Eastwood
123 - Ken Franks
123 - CD Steiner
127 - Matt Perry
127 - Tyler Matoon
--- tentatively in above here ---
132 - Jacob Hinck

Jose, please confirm residency and club status for Tyler Matoon, Adam Johnson and Kitzeln Siebert, thanks.

Dick, according to Tom, Olathe league is at Lakeside in May.  Do you plan to use one of them as your qualifier?

Yes. The second Monday in May (the 12th) will be the qualifier for the Kansas Team at Lakeside Hills. If you have not qualified yet, this will be your chance.
