I was in the Nuclear Meltdown in July. Two rounds on Saturday, one round on Sunday. After the three rounds, I was leading by 1 stroke; Am2 (3 Over after 66 holes). I thought I had won the event. The TD added a final 9 for everyone. It was some holes that were 2 and 3 holes put together to make long Pro 1000' - 1200'. I called Bull- :o, but since this was not a PDGA event the TD could do whatever he wanted to do. Should I just not play in these kind of events?

Sounds like either you or the TD needed to be more clear before the event started as to how many rounds would be played. This is true regardless whether it's PDGA or not.

In any event wouldn't the AMs want to watch the Pro final 9 and not have to play a final 9?

No. Finals include Ams in many PDGA events. Just look around the event results like this B-tier last weekend. Round 4 is actually the Finals that only the top in each division played.

The option of not playing in non-PDGA events may exclude you from many events you'd enjoy playing. There are many non-PDGA events run to PDGA standards. Just be aware that others may have significant variance; possibly including some alternative policies that you'll like, such as cash payouts for Ams.

Perhaps you should not play in tournaments run by that particular TD, if you dislike the way handled this one?

Both of the events held at that Disc-golf course have been PDGA events in the past. I have been told, that TD is not in good standing with the PDGA and they will not sanction his events anymore. Its a great course, its been there for 20 years and events of the past have pulled in 180 players. Now this Nuclear meltdown only pulled in maybe 30 players. Seems like a big step backwards.

You stop posting to it and let it slowly drift down into oblivion.
