Amateur Challenge Tournament
General
Ready, Set…
May 17th
Remember, if you are NOT currently signed up for one day’s event and your desired day is full you can sign up for the waiting list. Players who ARE signed up for one day may NOT currently sign up for the Waiting Lists on the alternate day so that everyone has a fair chance of making it into one of the event days.
The Waiting List form is the ONLY accepted method of getting on the Waiting List. Emails, phone calls, forum posts, smoke signals, etc will NOT get you on a waiting list!
Thanks for all your cooperation and good luck! Here we go!

Additional Registration Info
May 16th
Registration for ACT VI opens tomorrow! Who’s excited? Remember that if you want to save yourself some time when reg opens, you can go create your free account on Disc Golf United. Noon tomorrow, Eastern Standard Time – be ready!
Also wanted to provide some additional information regarding the waiting lists… each day will have its own waiting list, in the spirit of these events being separate. An online form will be provided here tomorrow (Monday) for processing waiting list requests – this will be the only method accepted of requesting a spot on the waiting list. If you have successfully signed up for either day, currently we will NOT accept you on the waiting list for the other day since we would still like to offer as many people as possible the chance to either enter into one of the days or get themselves early on the waiting list for one day or the other. If both days are full, you will be allowed to request being added to the waiting list for both days to try and get into either day.
That said, the waiting lists for both events will be opened to ALL players (regardless of whether you’ve signed up for the other day already) on Friday, May 20th as of 12:01 AM EST. If one day still has spots available then, people may register for that day even if they’re already playing on the other day – otherwise you may be added to the waiting list at that time.
The delay in allowing everyone to add themselves to the waiting list is so that Saturday players do not necessarily get on Sunday’s waiting list (or vice-versa) ahead of people who may be otherwise shut out of both days. This grace period offers a fair chance for everyone who wants to play at the ACT to either sign up or get on the waiting list for their chosen day.
Make sense? Hope so. We know this isn’t a “conventional” way to run registration for those who are familiar with multi-day events, but with luck this will work out fine since we didn’t want to “split up” the divisions by mandating that some divisions could only play 1 day and the rest of the divisions would play the other. Email us or drop a message in the forums if you have any other questions, and hope to see you in a few short weeks at the ACT!
Registration now Monday, May 17th!

Sorry for the confusion since the last update, but a number of things have transpired since the last post and now which have forced us to make the difficult decision of pushing the event registration back by a week. Registration will now open on…
Monday, May 17th, at NOON (12pm) EST
We feel this should afford the best chance of signing up to as many players as possible and will allow us to make 100% sure the registration system is in place and set up ready to go. After much deliberation, and evaluating at what offerings are out there for online registration, the ACT is going to be utilizing the new registration system on Disc Golf United. The options available to Tournament Directors are impressive for a relatively young system, and they have already processed a “filled 90 players in 15 minutes” event on the site as well so we know it can handle the type of traffic that we hope this event will drive there on registration day as well.
As always, if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them as a comment on this post or use the contact form to say hey. Apologies again for the 11th-hour change in the registration schedule, we know people are eager to sign up for the event but the date will be here soon enough. Hope to see you all out there in June!
