If there is no ace; a lottery will be held next week.

COURSE INFO
If you played in last year's tournament, you saw how much damage was done from Hurricane Ian. We’ve since redesigned Barwick, so please read the following info.

Basket changes after Round 2
Alpha: 11, 15
Barwick: 4, 8, 10




Both courses:
-Over chain link fence: OB
-Unless noted otherwise, water is casual
-Island Holes: If your drive doesn't establish on the island go to the marked Drop Zone. Normal OB from the drop zone and island.
-Mando: If part of your disc clearly enters into the restricted plane, you receive one penalty throw. The lie for the next throw is the drop zone.
-OB markers.
Stringline/paint: The stringline and paint is considered part of the OB
Wood lining island: The area inside the wood is considered making the island, the wood and outside of the wood is outside of the island.
Flags/stakes: Find the nearest flag/stake on both sides of your disc and make a line between the two


Alpha:
3: The entire left of the fairway is staked OB
7: Tomorrow we will make the call on 7.
If it is dry enough where people can get to the green in a manageable way we will leave it there and extend the stringline. The path to the green would be on the right. And a drop zone will be provided near that path.
(If we get more rain and it is too wet, we will move it ot the shorter par 4 position
8: Flagged area OB
9: Island green
10: If your disc lands in water, you can go to the drop zone with no penalty
13: Tomorrow we will make a decision on whether to pull this basket shorter.
Right now there are some sporadic puddles that can be managed playing casually.
16: On/over road OB
18: parking area flagged OB


Barwick:
1: Staked area on left OB
3: The entire right of the fairway is staked OB
4: on/over sidewalk OB
If you land in the wet areas that are strung off, you can throw from the no penalty drop zone.
6: On/over sidewalk OB (Long pad is throwing from out of bounds)
7: Mando, right of the marked tree. Drop zone is the short pad. Beyond flags OB
8: Road is NOT OB
9: Beyond flags marking parking/road
10: On/over road OB
11: Beyond stringline/flags OB
Tomorrow we will make a decision on whether everyone plays the short pad because of water/mud near long pad.
If we do, the long pad will be marked and taped off.
13: Beyond stringline/flags OB (11 and 13 share the same OB markers)
14: Island green
16: Stringline/flagged areas OB
There is mud/water 100’ or so deep of the basket, if it still wet it will be flagged OB
Please use the path to the left to the next hole.
17: Sidewalk is NOT OB
18: Staked area on left is OB
The taped off area beyond the basket is not OB, just to keep cars from parking.
