All AMs will receive a player’s pack with items such as two premium disc from Dynamic, Latitude 64 or Westside discs, a tournament Dri-Fit shirt, a golf towel as well as other useful items. You can pick them up anytime from 9:00 AM to close on Friday during the Flex On The Farm, C-Tier or on Sunday after Round 3 at West Sixth Farm before or after the awards ceremony and raffle.
Payout: After your round, you can follow the PDGA leaderboard for your division. Once the final players in your division have completed their scorecard, we will calculate winnings for that division and post payouts. Winners can redeem their winnings at the Bang-A-Chain tent which will be set up at West Sixth Farm on Sunday.
Scoring: We will be using PDGA.com/scores CODE:AMS23 to score all 3 rounds. 2 players per card should have their phones charged and keep score simultaneously. Any scoring discrepancies will result in an alert and should be remedied between holes. One player must submit the scorecard (with matching scores) before leaving each course. Failure to do so could result in penalties for all players on the card.
Ties for Tournament Champions: 1st place ties for the overall Tournament Championship in each division will be broken by a playoff at West Sixth Farm soon after the division finishes. All players must be present and confer with the TD after their division finishes and play head to head on the designated holes (TBD by TD) until one player wins a hole. Tee off on subsequent holes will rotate.
NOTES:
- Players must be at their assigned holes and ready to start play at the posted start time for each round. A two minute warning will be signaled by 2 horn blasts (halt all practice throws) followed by a single long blast to start the round.
- Players who miss the initial tee off are to be penalized (Par plus 4) for every hole missed without exception. Maintaining a steady pace of play is crucial.
- Spectators and caddies must sign a waiver and adhere to all PDGA rules.
*Per section 2.04 of the PDGA Competition Manual, Professionals rated <970 will be allowed to register to play in this tournament in any Division for which they qualify and compete for merchandise only.
