The north-east region looks really tiny compared to the other areas.

It is the biggest Match Play disc golf tournament ever. It is the NCAA's March Madness on disc golf. It is a way to get spectators involved and caring about each match, hole and even every shot. You gonna fill out your bracket?

[Steven Dodge]

Spots are all full. I'll be posting a link for anyone who wants to get on the waitlist.

It is starting to make a little sense. Looks like I can still pay $50 on that site to register for my region via paypal, even though it says the tournament already happened on 2 October. And seriously, clicking on the region brings up the registration page, instead of the results? This is not the kind of organization that will get us spectators engaged, you know?

Hopefully this will get people excited and involved. Bracket goes live tonight. Watch the Bracket Show tonight at 10 PM EST. Click Live Coverage from the Player's Cup site: http://www.vibramdiscgolf.com/playerscup/

Cool, I filled a bracket already.

I took a look at the course photos...I'm amazed how wide open it is (I'm not used to seeing courses with so few trees...maybe Fountain Hills in AZ was the last time). This will play like driving discs down a ball golf course fairway (sprinkle in an odd tree or two here or there). And totally flat, too. No uphill or downhill skills required. Long throwers with only modest control skills will do well. But those with great rollers will play very very well...I predict Ken Climo takes it all in a final versus Nikko Locastro.
