Yes, I cleared it with the city. That is always my first step.
Most courses have limited parking that cannot accomodate a full tourney. Centennial Lawrence, Longview Perry, Blue Valley KCMO for example. We'll deal with it.
Tee pads are taking care of by utilizing flags and allowing people to tee from grass besides the tee pad or behind tee pad. Personally, I think the pads are no big deal when you look at the size comparred to the amount of space you have when you are driving from a lye in a fairway (directly behind your disc / marker, 11", etc.) If it is really bothersome, you can use the marked natural pad.
We will have alternate tee pads. Short for Junior, Rec, Rec Women, Int. Women and maybe Adv. Grandmaster. Long for others. Some of the long tees will be the walking trail. It is Ottawa, not Central Park. It isn't that busy.
Players and pedestrians will need to be careful regarding each other as with any tournament. Both can manage. It will be OK.
Tournaments I intend to run will not be 'normal' tournaments on normal courses using the same ol', same ol'. Grow the sport by providing alternate options to the same old thing. Some will like it, others won't. Vanilla and chocolate options.
Defiance Beer returns as a sponsor. Yum.
Thank you.
