Does anyone have a 'rough cut' of the 2005 schedule?
Specifically, when is the AZ Memorial?

Trivia questions:

How many sanctioned events will be completed by the end of Dec, 2004?

How many sanctioned events will there be in 2005?
(I would expect the number to increase year to year)

good luck in finding out. i know that last year the schedule took forever to come out. not till like december or january.
i think they will have the first couple months of the year figured out though. the best thing to do is to contact dan ginnely for the dates of the memorial, i would think that he would already know.

As seen on a different thread asking a similar question:
We just finished our fall summit, here in Augusta, GA. We reviewed the PDGA Tour schedule, which is 70-80% complete for Majors, NTs and A-tiers. We also reviewed changes to the sanctioning agreement and competition system (there are changes coming). We now have to prepare documents, review them, and then ship them out. With our Board meeting at the end of September, there's no way we can get the materials for the next year out any sooner. And we can't move our meeting back much earlier (we moved it back two weeks this year), as it gets too close to Worlds, which many of us are just recovering from. It takes a while to get caught up on your non-PDGA obligations when you've been gone for a week, and then you have to turn right around and prepare for a big meeting, with a full budget, new initiatives, etc.

Our goal is to eventually work on the schedule on a semi-annual cycle, and then eventually quarterly, but to date we haven't had nearly enough resources to do that. Now that we've approved hiring two more full-time staff people, we'll hopefully be able to attend to some of these important things in a way that helps out early-season TDs more.

With regard to the number of sanctioned events, there will likely be in excess of 600 before 2004 is over, which is another 10 percent growth, or thereabouts.
