Where are the A-tiers in MI?????

Didn't there used to be more "A" tier tournaments in Michigan?   Wasn't GLO an A-tier?  Why doesn't A3 have an A-Tier?   Lotta questions huh? I thought Michigan was a top DG state?

Where are the people willing to do the work to run an A-Tier in Michigan???
Where is the player base that can afford to spend more than 20$ on a tournament in Michigan???
Also good questions.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

DGLO got shafted so hard last year, schedule-wise, by an event that didn't even happen, I'm not surprised there was little interest in the tourney this year. That, and the trend that most of the stalwart a3 guys have given up the ship explains a lot. Most of the new energy and dedicated folks in the area have put their focus elsewhere, unfortunately.

If you're an Am, there's a major in MI, and the CCR event gets better each year. Give those a try.

I know I'm drifting slightly, but Lemon Lake in NW IN is having an A-Tier, the Pro Worlds Warm Up. We aren't far at all from SW Michigan. We always get very good Michigan players at our tourneys. Come on out. It's being held on May 22nd and 23rd. The Lemon ain't MI, but we are also not far away.

Thank to everyone giving the CCR Open props!! Bob Walz and myself put a lot of hard work into that tournament. This year we have a hotel sponsor, Days Inn on Saginaw Hwy. They have a pool, hot tub, restaurant and bar. We will also be setting up a flymart at the hotel for anyone interested it's a $150.00 dollars a table and that will include a couple of tee signs on one of the courses.
We will be utilizing 3 courses this year Grand Woods East, Grand Woods West and Waverly Hills. I am happy to announce that Waverly Hills is going to be a permanent course in the near future. We are unsure yet whether or not we will be using the same course layout as last year or drawing up a new one. Either way it's going to be sweet!!
We are also expecting a larger than usual turnout of touring pro's due to the fact that we are the weekend after the Brent Hambrick Memorial and the weekend before the Pro Worlds in Northern Indiana. So everyone make sure you pre register!!! All of our events have been filling up this year. March Mush next weekend has been full for 3 weeks now. thats 84 players both days!! Registration will be available shortly at www.ccrdiscgolf.org.

Thanks,
Ira Fields

Off the top of my head, I thought the reserved spot detail was in regards to NT events only, but I'm not up for googling this morning. As you pointed out, quality isn't tier-dependent. Positively correlated, perhaps, but it all depends on what each player values.

Some of the folks around here are working on fund-raising for the Great Lakes Open via a smaller tournament series. (Thanks to Tim). Here's info:

3 months of Disc Golf was not enough for me...I moved to Sunny Florida.
My Entire family still resides in Michigan.
They claim to like the "4 seasons" yet still complain about winter!
I would have been one of those people qualified to work hard and run an A-tier, but I left.
Maybe I am not the only one and all you have left is sNOw.
I cannot be the only one to escape~!
I still Love Michigan and try to visit often.
Hi Mom!!!

Good replies! I believe you are right Mark, it is the quality not the tier. I have never played an A-tier myself.
