2026 Rapture Qualification and Registration

Here's the official qualification list for the 2026 Rapture. You have a week to decide if you're IN, which requires you to send $254
 
This amount includes the $50 buy-in. 
 
As for golf, I imagine $80 per round to be on the high-end side of the spectrum. So call it $450 overall.
 
October 8th - October 11th

  1. Goreicki is banned ? Why does Bren have a * ?

  2. Brendan and Buchert said they would go if need be. I'm marking that with a * so the crayon-eaters can visually see how few backups we truly have.

    This year The Rapture requires a prepayment of $254. Gorecki doesn’t believe in non-refundable pre payments. He's also not reliable, and feels he should be able to bail regardless of how that might affect an entire competition.

    1. The board should vote to cap course handicaps to 18. Might incentivize people to actually practice and want to get better.

    2. The Board should pass a rule that any sponsor is allowed to kick out their sponsee at any time.

  4. Buchert… as our only remaining alternate who said they’d play if needed… Keep that weekend open! I got a feeling it’s going to get to you.

  5. How long should I keep that weekend open? I thought you set a deadline of today for payment to be received?

    1. Marcus saw your comment and said you could have his spot. He was still unsure.

    2. So are we now waiting on 1 to pay? And then 6 weeks for Moostie to be able to go to a draft?

    3. That appears to be the timeline. Since Marcus is still unsure... and Billy is "meh"... I reach out to get Danny's temperature as the next eligible Member in the qualification. He said he's a 69% chance in (whatever that means).

      No word from Melberg after him.

    4. Deadlines are like contracts apparently... they don't matter

      Delete
    5. But the deadline passing in this case means what? Literally nobody remaining has said they want in or is sending money. We got 7 possible names on a list, of which one is banned and two are absolute 0% going to attend.

      You should call Tall Mike and ask him about the 16 players he guaranteed we could get!

    6. I just need 1 to pay, otherwise it drops to 8 and I'm out

      Delete
    7. It's not dropping to 8. I got people you've never heard of if needed.

    1. Don't count out someone else bailing. But based on the lackluster enthusiasm of the remaining Alternates... we could have a Ben Maltese appearance! (paired with Faz, of course).

  7. Billy took the weekend - and then some. No word from him.

    Danny had a lot of excuses and really only wanted to go if we moved the event to Orlando.

    Melberg said he's in. He's reliable. Lock it down, the draft rosters are set.

  8. Brendan is the highest handicap, didn’t see that coming a few weeks ago. No duds to drag us down in foursomes this year but also means no easy points lol

    1. Average handicap of 12.5 which has to be close to the lowest we've had.
