Special Events Update – 10 Jan 2020

by

The Entry Lists for the Founders’ Day and Last Chance events have been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. The first postings for the 6 events have been completed.

The Founders’ Day event is 100.0% full. A Wait list has been started and has been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. There is a max of 144 players for this event.

The Last Chance event is 80.0% full. There is a max of 128 players for this event.

You can find the lists by going to the top tool bar and clicking on Schedules and Results and click on the Special Events in the drop down window and then click on Confirm-Wait-Pairings-Instructions. Pick the event to see the lists. Or go to the side bar and click on Special Events.

I would suggest that you double check the lists if you signed up for any of the events. There were 754 players that paid over the 6 events. Generating the Event Lists and Wait Lists is pretty much a manual process and the possibility of errors do exist. Do it now so we can make any corrections early.

Updates will be posted as new signups come in.

Special Events are very popular and fill up fast. There is a maximum of 128 players, except the Founders’ Day event which will stay at a max of 144 players. You can sign up and list your partners. And you can sign up and pay for your partners. Be aware that signups are time stamped and the first 128 or 144 players that PAY will be placed on the Confirmed List. Players that pay after the max number has been reached will be placed on a Wait List in time stamp order. Players on the Wait List will be moved up to the Confirmed List as cancellations are received. Every effort will be made to match players with the team they want to play with.

You can complete the form for any or all Special Events at anytime during the season.

Note: If you plan on playing at Cardinal Creek, Scott AFB, Missouri players will need a Real ID driver’s license, a current Passport, or retired Military ID for base access. Illinois players can use their current driver’s license. Players will be contacted in late May to obtain document numbers, name as listed on document, and date of birth to be submitted to the Scott AFB sponsor to get base passes.
