Welcome to the 2022 McLouth Disc Golf Tournament presented by INNOVA!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EMAIL. WE ARE NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL PLAYER MEETING…THIS EMAIL IS YOUR PLAYER MEETING.
If you are receiving this email because you used your email when signing up another player for the event, please forward this info to that player.
THANK YOU SPONSORS:
HUGE THANK YOU to INNOVA Disc Golf for their title sponsorship.
Thank you also to the City of McLouth for allowing us to run this tournament and their continued support throughout the years.
DIVISIONS / DATES:
Everyone is playing two rounds on Saturday, March 5th on a shotgun start. Round one hole assignments will be posted sometime Friday evening at the pdga event page. HOWEVER - Please recheck your hole assignments after you check in to make sure they did not change.
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55394
Round two shotgun start time and hole assignments will be posted at the same link.
>> As a reminder - you still need to check in with the Course Director from 8 - 8:40 Saturday morning.
LATE WITHDRAWAL / NO-SHOW
You have until 7am Friday to withdraw and get a refund minus the $5 late withdraw fee. If you cannot make it and notify me at 785-764-2229 prior to tee time, you will still receive your player pack. To cancel, text or call your name and division, with comment you are cancelling to 785-764-2229.
PARKING -
You can park either at the main parking lot near the playground or in the parking lots near the football field. Please do not park anywhere along the road that is near a golf fairway.
RESTROOMS
A portable toilet has been rented and will be stationed at tournament central. The restroom at the football field may or may not be unlocked.
CHECK-IN
Check-in is from 8 am - 8:40 am at the east shelter near the playground. All players, Pro and Am, need to check in. If you don’t check in, I will presume you are a No Call, No Show and you may be scratched from the event.
SCORING
We will be using the PDGA digital scoring system. (This is not Udisc). To access it, go to pdga.com/score. Enter in the password, then your last name or PDGA number, and the card will pull up. I will have paper scorecards as a backup. You can also use udisc as a backup. However, to submit the scores, it needs to be done through the PDGA scoring system.

CADDY BOOK
Hole lengths, pars, and OB rules are listed in the PDGA app while you are keeping score. Aaron Hieb, your Tournament Director onsite, has created this awesome caddy book as well.
Mclouth Caddie Book
This is a 2018 map of the course. It has changed slightly from then, but it’s pretty close.

COURSE CONDITIONS / INCLEMENT WEATHER
There are no known adverse conditions. When it rains, this course gets very muddy. Bring extra shoes, socks, clothes in general. You wouldn’t think that I would have to say this, but there is a backstory. The tournament directors are not responsible for your brand new shoes getting muddy.
The tournament plays rain or shine or snow. If there is lightening, the Tournament Director will sound the air horn in three quick blasts and then repeat it again one minute later. If this happens, do not finish your hole. Mark your lie with a rock or a stick (something heavy) and seek shelter. We then suspend play until thirty minutes after the last lightening event. The restart time will be communicated by the tournament director and posted on the dgscene and facebook event pages.
PLAYER PACKS
All amatuer players will receive a tournament stamped Innova disc and towel. Recreational division will also receive a Maverick Disc Golf Zing mini.
Disc molds and color choices are on a first come, first serve basis. This list of available discs is for you to help do some research ahead of time to make the process faster.
Innova choices:
Star AviarX3
GStar Mamba
Star Roc3
Star Shryke
Star Teebird
Champion Valkyrie
Shimmer Star VRoc3
Innova: https://www.innovadiscs.com/disc-golf-discs/
WATER
While there will be water coolers on the course I fully expect they will go dry at some point. They will be refilled as soon as possible, but you need to be prepared to bring enough water for yourself. The water on the course is a back-up.
BONUS PRIZES
ROUND ONE PRIZE: If you have the Hot Round of your whole division (not your card, but the whole division) you will get a Hot Round mini. They are not much, only a mini, but the only way you can get one is by having the Hot Round, so it’s kind of cool.
ROUND TWO PRIZE: If you win your card, you win a prize from the white prize box that is called the Toy Box. Typical items are sticker sheets, can coolers, license plate frames, etc.
LUNCH BREAK / ROUND 2
We will have an approximately 1 hour lunch break after the last card is completed before starting round 2. Round two hole assignments will not be the same as round one. Round two will be found at the same pdga even link:
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55394
AVAILABLE LUNCH:
The McLouth Library will be selling lunches available for purchase. Please consider buying your lunch from them so we can give back to the community of McLouth. I know they will have muffins and breakfast burritos in the morning and hot dogs, chilli dogs, frito pies, etc, for lunch. The prices we were talking about was very reasonable.
IF YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW
If you decide for any reason that you don’t or can’t play the second round, please tell Aaron Hieb, the onsite Tournament Director. This is crucial as it will affect others on how the second round is organized.
ACE / CTP FUND
If you paid into the ace fund during registration you are included in this. If you didn’t pay in you can skip to next section.
Thank you for participating into the Ace Fund. With all Maverick DG events, the Ace fund is paid out as large ticket items and not as cash. This is one of the ways MavDG is ‘maverick’ and it helps to pay for tournament expenses. I determine the payout items so that what is given out is higher than what was paid in so both the winner and the tournament benefits.
PRIZES:
Normally we have multiple items from the presenting sponsor for the Ace Fund prizes. At the time this tournament order was placed, large ticket items were out of stock. So we are substituting these items in their place.
Qty 1 GRIPeq pink CS2 (Retail value $179)
Qty 1, $90 voucher to be used on your choice at Maverick Disc Golf’s physical store or website.
Qty 2, InZone XXL Kwik Stik, retail value $70 each, $140 total.
As always, the retail value of the prizes meets or exceeds 150% of value that was paid in.
Please note: If there is a tie for first place in your division, we may start the CTP game before your playoff is done. If you super duper rather play the CTP game than for the First Place Trophy, you can always forfeit the playoff. I would ask you though - why are you playing in a tournament if not to win the prize of First Place?
For the full rules on how the Ace fund works, you can go here:
CTP / Ace throw off - Maverick style
AWARDS / PAYOUTS
To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. Awards will be given out as soon as the clear winner has been determined. If you think you may be getting a trophy, please stick around to take it home with you as we won’t be able to mail them. Unclaimed trophies can be collected at our Olathe, KS store.
PRO PAYOUTS can be either a check mailed to you to save fees, or via PayPal Goods and Services (winner pays fees) based on what you chose during registration.
AM PAYOUTS can either be redeemed via our webstore, maverickdiscgolf.com or in person ath our physical store in Olathe, KS at 600 E. Santa Fe St. Ste C. At this time the webstore only has about 20% of what the physical store does. We are working to get more listed.
All payout vouchers for all Maverick DG vended tournaments in 2022 expire 12/31/2022.
TROPHIES
There is a First Place trophy for all divisions. Additionally there is a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Recreational (MA3)
PDGA POSTING
My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Sunday evening.
THANK YOU
