ACT VII Registration opens tonight!
May 9th
Today’s the day! 7pm tonight we open registration for ACT VII. Reg will be through DGU once again – much has changed on their end since last year so we should not see a repeat of last year’s site failures. If we didn’t have faith we wouldn’t use them again, so vets of last year please just trust us 
Watch here and on Facebook for more info later today!
It’s not dead yet: Updated
May 17th
We think? DGU appears to be suffering under the demand of the registration folks… please bear with us, phone call has been made and we’ll try and get this straightened out as soon as possible. Keep on tryin’ to get in there though!

Update: OK, maybe NOW it’s dead. Registration now appears to be throwing errors. We really apologize for the inconvenience everyone, and this site as well as the NEFA Forums will be updated as soon as we have word that things are back up and running at DGU again. We did accumulate over 100 registrations before the system died in just over half an hour (with the first issues cropping up around the 10-15 minute mark), I guess we need to wait until another year to find out how fast it COULD sell out with all the moving parts staying working through registration.
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!
