Earn your way in

Tomorrow evening is the first Monday Night Doubles, sponsored by Dynamic Discs, of the season.  Twelve weeks of doubles to earn free entry to the DDGC.

Last year, despite there being at least 2+ feet of snow still on the course, doubles started off with a bang with 22 players.  And attendance remained steadily over 20 players a week until about halfway through the series. We figure it was in part because players were already feeling like they were out of contention.

Not going to be the case this year as after the halfway point, we’ll be doubling the points available each week.  Then after the 3/4 mark, we’re tripling the points.  And there are more and bigger bonuses to win as well.

With the wait list at 15 and growing, winning Monday Night Doubles may just be the only way to get into DDGC16.  Be at Dragan Field by 5pm.  Tee off will begin promptly at 5:15 in order to give us the best chance to finish in the daylight.

We are full

Last week, we predicted on our Facebook page that if the last MPO/FPO spot wasn’t claimed before the weekend, someone would surely sign up in person at our Ice Doubles tournament on Sunday.  Sure enough, yesterday morning two people were at the counter at the same time with cash in hand hoping to snag the last spot.

When the first gentleman asked, the other audibly groaned thinking he’d been beaten to the punch.  Fortunately for the both of them, we had recently been informed of a drop from FPO which allowed them both to register and get into the tournament on the spot.  So welcome to the event Nick Blouin and Zack Jellis.

Not only did we have two players sign up after we sat with one available spot for about three weeks, we also had our first MPO sign up for the waitlist as well.  Lots of action yesterday.

Today also marks one week until Monday Night Doubles kicks off and the quest to win the last DDGC16 spot begins.  Mark your calendars and be at Dragan Field next Monday around 5pm.

Double Dragons

Whether you were able to register for the DDGC or not, or whether you are on the wait list or not, don’t forget that June 4 includes more than just the DDGC tournament itself.  Bright and early, the disc golf action begins with a single round of best shot doubles that is open to anyone.

Double Dragons is a DDGC tradition as old as the DDGC itself.  One round that can serve as a great warm-up for the rest of the day, or a great amount of fun all by itself.

In addition to the winner winning the entire pot generated by the entry fees ($10 per team is paid out), we’re offering two bonuses as further incentive.

Incentive #1: Full field bonus.  If we get 36 teams to play Double Dragons, we will kick in an additional $50 bonus to the winners.

Incentive #2: Course record bonus.  If the winning team breaks the course doubles record (41) en route to victory, we will kick in an additional $50 bonus.

So, sign up, practice hard, recruit competitors, and then come out and crush the field.
