Let me ask everyone...
Ever had someone on your card at Manor (on a windy day) that tries to go over the trees? Then they don't make it and expect you to go out in the thicket to help find their disc.
I've learned two things from this:
1.) Make them throw a provisional while hinting..."down the fairway"
2.) Make it known that you are not a disc hunter for low percentage shots before the round
There should be an exception in the rule book for #2 when it pertains to the three minute rule actually beginning. I think it is stated that the three minutes officially starts once the entire card starts looking for the disc. I guess looking for it from the fairway is still looking. haha

You are required to help look for the disc ...
803.11 Lost Disc
A. A disc shall be declared lost if the player cannot locate it within three minutes after arriving at the spot where it was last seen by the group or an official. Two players or an official must note when the timing of three minutes begins. All players of the group must, upon request, assist in searching for the disc for the full three minutes before the disc is declared lost. The disc is considered lost immediately upon the expiration of the three minute time limit.
There is no rule that says how hard you have to look :D

I'm pretty sure we all got chiggers on the 1st hole the 2nd day at Waco. My disc went off into bamboo like reeds and that may have been the caused McCain's itchies.
Luckily Ian found it on a Cliff as I started to walk back to the tee and while it was a rough start to the round and a decent wait for the lead card behind us I was glad I snuck out with a 4 even my 1st two lies on the hole were almost unplayable.
Anyway I will try to make this and stay away from the deep woods.

Player List? Whats in the Player Packs? Any other info?

I will try to get the player list up tomorrow. At the moment, entries are slow.
No player's pack or lunch, but I am hoping to have 100% payout for ams and pros (which basically means adding enough cash and merch to offset the PDGA fee which is significant given the $20 and $30 entry fees).
The idea was a low-cost alternative for a PDGA event on a quality course.

Thank you James and Waterloo Staff!
First time to play Manor with no wind. Sure made it a HOT one.
Please update my PDGA number to read 29730....not 39730. Thanks!
I really look forward to the Two Day B-Tier at the Met Center.
A big thanks to the awesome raffle as well. I didn't win but I sure came close a few times.
THANKS!!
