ALL PLAYERS PLEASE READ:
This event will be played under the PDGA platform but will not count as a "sanctioned event" on your player page. This is what we know in full transparency and why some decisions have been made. It will run very similar to the test D Tier status we used last year.

1. Most importantly for tournament staff/player experience we get to use PDGA Live Scoring. That's huge for the organization of the event and how smoothly things run. If you have tried to run a 240 person tournament before using paper scorecards, it's pretty brutal. This is so big and helps build off what we got to do last year.

2. Because we get to use live scoring and the PDGA platform, all results and live standing for the event will be viewable on the PDGA page, this will also allow us to post tee times as soon as we can at the conclusion of each round, you won't have to wait hours to figure out what groups you are playing in or what time you start the next round. It will also help awards be done immediately following the completion of your final round, not hours after.

3. We do need PDGA insurance to make this event happen with Douglas County Parks. Here is where it get a little tricky. If we didn't need insurance we would just be paying $3/player to the PDGA for facilitating the whole thing which is WELL worth it. But the way their insurance works, in order for all players to be covered and it to be suitable insurance for Douglas County Parks, Any player who is not PDGA current for 2025 or does not have a PDGA number at all, we will have to pay the $15 temporary membership fee for, like any other sanctioned event would. Every other event, the player would be fully responsible to pay this fee.
While we know this has never been the case before, and we know some participants are not going to be thrilled about this we have no choice, we need the insurance or the event doesn't happen.
To help lessen the burden on players, we are going to do extra fundraising for this year only, and the tournament will cover half of that $15 charge that would normally be put on the non-current or non-member player. Therefore if you don't have a current membership for 2025, you are going to pay an extra $7.50/person and I will do fundraising to cover the other half of that. After this year, that fee is going to be the responsibility of the player only.
We know this is new, and we understand if you choose not to play because of it, but please know this is the best decision for the tournament and having the PDGA live scoring and Insurance is a must to run a successful (and approved through Douglas County Parks) event.
