About this league
Fee to join $15
Fee per round $5
This is a coed rec doubles league. Men & Women winners win a trophy disc (Note Change to a trophy type plaque we are working on) and plenty of CTPs throughout the season. Also if we average 9 players a week we'll give away a MVP Practice basket at the end of the season.
ACE POOL RULES: As long as the ace pool is less than $150 then any players can pay $2 and win 80% of the pot. Once the ace pool hit's $150 or more than the cost for new players is 10% of the pot to win 80% of it. Or players can pay $5 and win 50% of the pot. You can pay $5 each week until you hit the 10% but if you hit before paying 10% you'd only win 50% of the pot.
For example if the pot is $175 then new players can pay $5 and win 50% of the pot or they can pay $18 to try and win 80%. Anytime after you've paid the 10% the cost is $2 a week.
All dates subject to change.
Here are the rules:
• Cost is $15 for your first week and $5 for every week after.
• All new members will get a disc and a bag tag their first week until we run out. You can buy another disc for $15.
• The men and women’s winner will receive a trilogy disc of their choice (Note Change to a trophy type plaque we are working on) with their name and champion on it for winning.
• Ace pool is $2 per week. If you've been to our league 5 times or more then you win 80% of the pot, 4 times you win 75%, 3 times 70%, 2 times 60%, 1 time 50%. The rest of the money stays in the pot for the next Ace.
• We will do a draft type system. Whoever is in last place based on points, or new, will pick their partner of the remaining players. Then next and so on. At any time whoever is picking can choose to play Cali if we have an odd number of people that week. Note new players will get first choice.
• The first week will be picked based on the Summer Standings, any new players will pick first.
• There is no limit to how many times you can be teamed up with someone but you cannot be teamed up with the same player 2 weeks in a row unless forced to.
• 1-4 players for the week and we’ll play singles, 5+ players and we’ll play doubles.
• Both team members must throw from the same lie.
• If you are playing Cali, you get one extra throw per hole and they don’t carry over.
• If your teammate cannot finish the round then you may play Cali for the remaining holes.
• You must play at least half of the holes to get points for the day.
• We will play 10 weeks but only your top 8 scores will count.
• If you hit an ace, you also get an ace pin. If you lose your pin you can buy a new one for $6.
• Points are based on how many teams there are each week. If there are six teams then the scores will go from first to last 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If there are 4 teams then it will be 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
• Usually the only OB is water. I will announce OB before the round. If both team members go OB then their team takes a stroke and throws again.
Bonus Points
• Each week there will be 4 birdie holes. If your team can get birdies on 3 of the 4 birdie holes for that week you will get 3 bonus points.
• For example: Lakeshore the 4 birdie holes could be holes 1, 4, 15, and 17 or 4, 13, 15, & 18. They won’t necessarily be the 4 shortest holes each week.
• If you can get 3 birdies in a row, you will get 1 bonus point, 4 birdies in a row will give you 2 bonus points, 5 birds = 3 points, etc.
• If you hit a putt from 30 feet away you will get 1 bonus point.
• If you hit metal from the tee you will get 1 bonus point.
• Aces are rewarded bonus points as follows: 150 foot or less Ace = 5 points. 151-200 foot Ace = 10 points. 201-250 foot Ace = 15 points. 251 foot or more Ace = 20 points.
• When picking teams. If two players are both in 11th-30th and they can finish in the top 4 teams (or 3 if we only have 6 teams) then they will get 5 (subject to change) points as a bonus. If someone in 16th picks someone in the top 10 and they finish in the top 4 then they will not get any bonus points.
• One of the shortest holes each week will be the CTP hole. The man and woman who gets closest to the pin will receive 1 bonus point. Every other week the CTP winner will also win a disc or other disc golf related item.
• An Ace on the CTP hole will count as CTP.
• The longest hole each week will be the Longest Putt hole. The man and woman who gets the longest putt will receive 1 bonus point. If team members both hit the longest putt then they will both receive a bonus point.
• You can throw your disc back farther to try and hit the longest putt BUT each throw will count as a stroke. Example: Person A makes a putt from 30 feet for par. Person B is 25 feet away and decides to go for longest putt. Person B throws his 3rd shot out to 35 feet. Person B misses the 35 foot putt. Person B throws his disc out to 35 feet again and then makes the 35 foot putt for the longest putt. Person B would have 6 strokes on that hole.
• Once your disc is in the basket, you cannot try any further for longest putt.
• If you are Cali and miss your first shot for the longest putt and still have your extra shot for that hole then you may try again for longest putt.
• If you are Cali you cannot get 2 points if you make both your regular shot and extra shot from the longest putt.
• If you are Cali you can use your extra throw to try and get CTP.
• If you are Cali and throw your disc, you may use that disc again for your extra throw BUT you must then play from the second lie. For example: Cali is 50 feet out and throws his 3rd shot and lands a foot away from the basket. Cali still has an extra shot and feels they can make it if they throw again with the same disc. They pick up the thrown disc and throw again. This time their 3rd shot lands 20 feet away. They now must play from the 20 foot lie.
Basket Drawing
• If we average 9 players a week then at the end of the season I will put everyone who has played at least 5 times into the running for a new practice basket. More than likely the MVP Practice basket. If you won it the previous season then you cannot win it the following season.
* I will place the name of everyone's who's qualified into a box and draw a name randomly.
• Starting with the Spring season every time that you qualify for a basket raffle will give you 1 ticket. If you didn’t win the basket in the spring or summer but qualified for all 3 seasons then in the fall you will have 3 tickets in the drawing. If you win the basket then all of your tickets are wiped away.
• Example: Person A won last year, person B won in the spring, person C won in the summer, person D was qualified for each raffle, person E only qualified for the fall, Person F qualified for spring and fall but not summer. For the fall raffle: Person D would have 3 tickets, Person A & F would have 2 tickets, Persons B & E would have 1 ticket each. Person C would not be eligible for the fall raffle.
• WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE QUALIFIES FOR SPRING AND SUMMER BUT NOT FALL? You don’t lose your tickets unless you win the basket. If someone qualified for the spring and summer but didn’t qualify for the fall then they would not be in the raffle for the fall. But if they became eligible again in the spring then they would still keep their previous 2 tickets as well as the new one for spring.
