I can add any division by requested if it is not listed. There must be at least 3 participants to make a division. You can register for any division but if that division does not have enough participants to qualify, you will need to move to a qualifying division prior to play and additional fees may be required or refunded if the registration fees differ. Womens and Juniors divisions do not need to meet the minimum

There will be prizes on most holes, including 2nd Closest Shot, CTPs and LPs. You must be present to win your CTP/LP prize. Each player will receive a raffle ticket with each hole prize for a chance to win an additional prize.

We will be giving away a brand new Zuca cart to one lucky winner. In addition, we will also be giving away a Discraft Chainstar Lite basket to one lucky winner. Every participant will receive 1 FREE RAFFLE TICKET with their paid entry. There will also be additional tickets available for sale, as well as several different prizes.

Payouts will be provided using the standard PDGA payout scale. Amateur payouts will be provided by Disc Baron in the form of coupons to Disc Baron retail or online store. Winners will have until 7/26/19 to redeem their coupons. Coupons must be used in one transaction and no change will be provided. Since Disc Baron will be on site hosting the event, payouts will not be available on site. You will need to use these in store or online.

B. Players who have paid MORE than a nominal waitlist fee of $10 to be on an event’s waitlist who do not get into the event, or who officially request to withdraw from the waitlist prior to the event’s published closure of registration and waitlist replacements (within one week is recommended), will receive a 100% cash refund minus the $10 waitlist fee. Waitlist players who ONLY paid a nominal non-refundable waitlist fee of $10 will not receive a refund.

If the player’s spot is NOT filled, the TD has the choice to provide EITHER a 50% cash refund OR just the player’s pack the player would have received if they had attended (minus the cost of shipping).

(This does NOT apply to a waitlist player; see 1.03.B above.)
