There are a few name changes possible in the latter part of the tournament. This is the 4th year of the Michigan-Ohio Border (MOB) Tour. It has grown in size every year, with average turnout size rising from low-50s, to mid-50s, all the way to mid-70s per event in 2006. We will likely be accepting pre-registration for the events by March (current plan: TitleDisc.com) and we're looking to put on some great events in 2007!

(so far our Winter Series we are averaging just over 80 participants for three events, this coming summer should be great!)

Every Toledo Area Disc Golf Association tournament entry includes a $10 valued player pack (if not more) for all Am players. The only thing taken from your tournament entry is the small PDGA Fee and a $2 Series Fee, outside of that it all goes right into the payouts, nothing taken off the top. We have a Jumbo Toss (or "Ring of Fire") between rounds, an inexpensive throw-off for a basket, and CTPs for all divisions. The events are also run quickly and professionally by a great and experienced staff.

Hopefully we can see as many new faces as possible out in the coming year! TADGA loves seeing new competition, and remember: your top-six event finishes go into the MOB Series standings (gives you leeway to miss some events) and the payouts for the series have grown every year! Last year's Open champion was PDGA ROY Candidate Geoff Bennett, wonder if anybody can unseat him... Young Ziggy Bierekoven was our Advanced Champ... and we've got stiffer competition every year!

I look forward to some great conversation here and I'll be checking back frequently in case anybody has any questions about a series that is quickly gaining tradition and history, come be a part of that and a whole hell of a lot of fun!
