The MA4 division is perfect for those who are new to disc golf, or new to leagues, and not sure how they stack up against the field. This is also a good division for juniors. Per PDGA policy, children under the age of 13 must be accompanied. The weekly cost of entry fee for MA4 division is only $2, plus any add-ons. MA4 players do not play for weekly payouts or points-based payouts. Like all other competitors, MA4 players are expected to abide by all PDGA rules, course OB rules, and be respectful.

====WEEKLY PAYOUTS====
Players in the top 45% of their division on any given week receive winnings, which will be added to the league credit sheet. Weekly payout tables can be found in the Pictures tab. Payouts are based on PDGA pay tables.


====POINTS-BASED PAYOUTS====
$1 of each weekly entry fee will be pooled by 10 week session for a points based payout, broken up by division. One point is earned for each player you beat or tie (including yourself) in your division each week, and there is a different multiplier based on division. If you switch divisions midway through a 10 week session, points earned in one division do NOT carry over to another division. Points can be viewed from the PDGA event results page for the session.

Point-based payouts will be according to PDGA pay tables.


====PAYOUT PROCEDURES====
Both weekly and points-based winnings are tracked on the league credit sheet (https://tinyurl.com/2024GCLeagueCreditSheet). League credits can be used to pay for entry for future weeks, as well as merch in the club store.

Weekly payout accumulations, as well as points-based payouts, will be paid within 1 month from the end of the league. If you want an earlier payout, just ask. Due to score adjustments that sometimes occur after the round ends, same day payouts are not offered.

Payouts are done by PayPal only. You are welcome to pay by cash but YOU are responsible for providing the league administrator with a PayPal address to receive a payout, or prearrange some other method of receiving your payout. We will do our best to accommodate, but it is not feasible to hunt everyone down and give a cash payout in person. ALL PAYOUTS THAT ARE NOT COLLECTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE END OF THE LEAGUE WILL BECOME A DONATION TO GROVE CITY DISC GOLF CLUB.


====ACE POT====
Act pot entry is $1 per round. Once ace is confirmed, payout will be paid at 60% of the total pot (multiple aces will split the 60% evenly). This will ensure money always stays in the ace pot.
