While practicing for Worlds yesterday another play mentioned that the PDGA made another "screw the Am's decision" of only giving out trophies to the top 4 finishers and no longer disc's and other non-cash payouts for the top flights of players.

Someone please verify this is a false rumor.

Why do I wish to travel 1000 miles, spend/lose thousands of dollars by missing work and staying in hotels and eating out - with lil to no chance of winning ANYTHING?!?!?!

The disrespect shown by the PDGA to the AM ranks is embarrassing. Nothing like going to MAJOR Pro-AM Worlds and NEVER getting on a top course because only the PRO'S get to play the good courses while the AM's are sent to the temp courses and less desirable courses.

Last I looked the AM divisions have the greater number of players...

Keep screwing up PDGA - you are doing great...

This is likely the last tourney I am playing, and that along with many others...

Way to ruin a great sport...
