I'm looking to attend this weekend and to join J-Town DGC for this event and also to begin attending other events during the year. I played with Discontinuum a year or two ago and then a wedding, house and other things got in the way of my schedule.

Can I sign up to play with J-Town and play with the club at the event?

PDGA #36536 Rating: <935 (iirc, I just renewed membership today.)

Sure, we'd be glad to have you.  Just show up at the course and see one of the club officers (Ray, Frank, Dean, Dave, Jason) and we'll get you signed up with the club.

Where:
Grey Fox Disc Golf Course, Silver Lake, WI
When: 3/17/12
Cost: Free
Who: Clubs will include DISContinuum, Fox Valley, GRABM, J-Town, and SDGU.

J-Town Disc Golf Club is looking for club members to commit to this event.  Format will be 1 rounds of singles, 27 holes.  Members will be divided into 2 division with a 935 rating break point.  Best 5 upper/ 8 lower finishing positions for each division per round will count towards the club total.  Lowest club total wins.
