QP Open
The 2021 QP Open will be 12-13th June
I'm delighted to announce that we have secured Ace Disc Golf as title sponsors for the Quarry Park Open. Ace have only been in business for two years but have made a big impact on the UK disc golf scene with a great reputation for impeccable customer service from their online store. Amateur prize winners will get a voucher code to use at the Ace online store.It may be foolish to place to much belief on weather forecasts more than a few days ahead, but it does look like we have a pretty settled spell of warm and mostly dry weather running right through to the weekend of the tournament. Unfortunately I don't think we will be able to invite spectators due to the general restriction of no more than 30 people gathering together outdoors. The first round of the tournament will start at 10:00 Saturday morning.
Quarry Park Open registration will open again at 7pm tonight. You can't fill the form in until 7pm tonight!!
The Google form is here Priority to men 900+ rated, women 800+ rated, QP members 850+ rated who did not compete in the QP Amateur tournament on May 16th. You can still apply if you don't meet those criteria, but you will have to wait until Thursday to find out if you are accepted or on a wait list. People who match the criteria will most likely be accepted tomorrow. It depends on level of response, there are around 20 places, and I want to give at least 26 hours for people to apply.

Update on the Quarry Park Open which will take place on 12-13th June. The new holes are not ready for play, so for Saturday we will play the black course with red tee for #6; then blue course in the afternoon with red tee on #8. Sunday morning same black course, then 9 hole finals. Probably a 09:00 start on both days.
I will reopen registration on Tuesday, with priority given to players satisfying one of the following criteria: women over 800 rated, QP members who did not play in the Amateur event who are over 850 rated, mixed over 900 rated who did not play in the Amateur event. That may get tweaked as I'm too weary to nail it down definitively. We had about 70 register in the initial phase, and I was concerned about taking more while the ground was so wet, due to limited parking. We now have a week of dry weather forecast, so overflow parking on the grass will hopefully be ok, and we can therefore take 90 players.
27th Quarry Park Open (12-13th June) and Quarry Park Amateur Event (16th May)
The rapid growth of disc golf and demand for places in tournaments is giving tournament directors some challenges in how to allocate places. To enable as many people as possible to play an event at Quarry Park, we are prioritising higher rated players for the Open and lower rated or unrated players for the Amateur event. Putting that simple idea into a registration procedure is not so simple, so apologies for the confusion which may ensue! We won't be able to please all the people all the time.
Your Options
If you have a rating of at least 900 (800 for Women) or are registered as a Pro player, you will have priority to play in the QP Open, and will not be eligible for the Amateur event on 16th May
If you have a rating of 850 to 899 you can choose either the Amateur event on 16th May, or the 2-day Quarry Park Open, but will only be allowed to play one of them. You can indicate your preference.
If you have a rating of less than 850 (800 for Women), or no rating at all, it is unlikely that any places will be available in the QP Open. Go for the 1 day event.
Registration Phases
April 14th-18th -.Registration is open to all. Places will be allocated as follows: -
May 1st Any forfeited places will be reallocated to players on the waiting list.
If there should happen to be unfilled places on May 1st, we will of course accept registrations on a first come first served basis.
It may be that some tweaks are required to resolve unforeseen issues.
The Open will be a PDGA B Tier, and will probably consist of 2 rounds of 18 on Saturday, and a 21 hole round on the Sunday incorporating the 4 extra holes on the new field as well as extended versions of the woods holes (black 9 and 10) . The Amateur Event will be a PDGA C Tier, with 2 rounds of 18 holes, most likely utilising the red and blue tees. Payout ratios will be met after allowing for green fees of a maximum of £10 for the one day event and £16 for the 2 day event, plus BDGA/PDGA sanctioning fees.
May 16th Registration is closed see https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/50810 for start times and results
June 12-13th £40 for Pro Divisions, £30 for Amateur Divisions, £20 Junior Divisions 84 players
Entry fees should be paid via bank transfer to 040004 77216758. This a Monzo account administered by Dom Hudson. Putting all fees through this account enables us to keep track of the money and reduces the load on the tournament director, so please don’t send money to any other account, and don’t try paying at the course.

Weekday opening is from 12:00 until sunset, except for bank holidays when it is 10am until 6pm. Weekened opening is from 10am to 6pm. Bookings can be made 7 days in advance. Disc golf has grown hugely popular, and in order to run smootly and safely, we have had to change the way we manage the flow of visitors. The booking system is an essential part of this.
The other change is to limit groups to 6 people on a hole at any time, because big groups can slow up play for all the groups behind them. Big groups also give rise to increased safety concerns if throws are made when other members of the party are in range and not paying attention. The government regulations on "group of 6" also make this a necessity at present. If you are planning a visit for 7 or more family or friends, then simply book 2 or more time slots and don't merge.
