PLAYING THE COURSE BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT:
1. Saturday, May 7th is another fundraiser for camp (MMR Bigfoot Family Fling). This will be a really fun family day. Disc golf and cornhole tournaments. Camp opens at 7am. Non-sanctioned. Here’s a link to the registration if you’re interested: https://www.facebook.com/mtn.meadow. I'm going to try and have the pins in the short positions in the morning and long positions in the afternoon so that both positions can be played.
2. The course will also be open on Friday, May 13th at 9am. Part of everyone's registration fee goes towards reserving the camp for this entire day for everyone.

OFFICIAL SPONSOR: The Disc Shack

SPONSORSHIPS: $40 for a tee box sponsorship. You can display whatever you want at the tee box. Sponsorship levels dropped in price on 4/4 because we aren't partnering with the tournament on May 7th at the camp.

ADDRESS & PARKING: Parking is limited, so please start coordinating carpools with friends. The Mountain Meadow Ranch address is 630 Mountain Meadow Dr., Payson, AZ 85541 It is located in Christopher Creek, even though the address says Payson. I've attached a map to make it clear where to go.

SMOKING: It will be fire season, so no smoking is allowed on the course. A designated smoking area is located near the check-in area, so please ask where to smoke before smoking. Per camp rules, this includes vaping. ANYONE SMOKING/VAPING OUTSIDE OF THE DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA WILL BE REQUIRED TO LEAVE THE SITE IMMEDIATELY. THIS INCLUDES PRACTICE ROUNDS THE DAY BEFORE. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. No refund will be issued under this circumstance.

CAMP/PROPERTY INFORMATION:
- Basic liability waiver will be signed at check in; $40 of the registration fee goes towards the use of the camp for both Friday and Saturday.
- Some fairways have considerable uneven footing. There is also a creek crossing where you will need to boulder-hop across the creek. IF YOU HAVE POOR BALANCE OR A BAD KNEE, portions of this course will be difficult to navigate. There are also steep dropoffs to the creek if you go OB. Please consider this before signing up.
- Power strips will be set up around the check in/lunch area so that you can charge your phones between rounds.

TEE TIMES/CHECK IN TIMES: MA3 will be first to tee off at 7:00am. 10 mins between groups. Check in 15 mins prior to tee time (minimum) or when you arrive. MA40 will tee off last to account for a logistical requirement.

WARM-UP AREA - There really isn't a good warm up area. Fairway 18 will be open until around 9:30am, which is around when the first group will be arriving at Tee 18. After 9:30am, you can walk up the road and throw on the road between Basket 8 and Tee 14. Just be mindful to keep others safe.

BATHROOMS ON COURSE - Two port-a-potties will be located near Basket 8 (which is also close to Tee 15), so please use those while out on the course, instead of the woods. There are men's and women's restrooms next to Tee 1/Basket 18. Please keep the bathrooms/port-a-potties clean.

CARTS NOT RECOMMENDED - The course is not cart-friendly, so a backpack is highly recommended. The course crosses the creek and has places that have uneven footing/rocks in the fairway.

SPECTATORS: Spectators are allowed, but need to ride with someone playing in the tournament. Parking is very limited so please carpool.

COVID PROTOCOL: If you are sick, please stay home. I will refund your entry fee.

ALCOHOL: Camp and PDGA rules prohibit the consumption of alcohol on the course or within camp boundaries. Violation of this rule will result in immediate removal from camp property. This includes no alcohol on camp premises on Friday, May 13th and for those spending the night.

COURSE MAP and OB/MANDO DESIGNATIONS: Please see attached map and rules PDFs for clarifications on rules. If you watch the drone footage with these descriptions, you should have a very good idea of what is considered in bounds.

"YOUNG GUNS" MPO PAYOUT - There has been a cash-added $40 prize for the top MPO player under 25 (any MPO player born on or before May 14, 1997). MPO players must show proof of age, and will be automatically entered thereafter.

AM AWARDS: Thanks to Austin Dow-Smith for making this year's awards which are laser-etched, acrylic bag tags. You will want to compete for these because they are awesome! They are in the shape of Arizona with the Bigfoot Fling logo in the middle. Bag Tag Awards go to the top 3 players in each division.

ACE POT: $5 buy-in. If no one gets an ace, then the money rolls into the Putting Challenge (50/50 split). $390 was paid out last year for an ace on Hole 8!

PUTTING CHALLENGE: $5 buy in. Anyone (even spectators) can participate! Putting challenge will be on the path by Tee 1. Each entrant will receive THREE (3) putts at each distance, beginning at 10-ft and moving back 5 ft each time a putt is made. As long as you make one of your three tries, you keep moving back. If you miss 3 consecutive putts at one distance, you're done. Unused putts do not carry to the next distance (ie, if you make your first putt, the other 2 putts don't carry over to the next distance). Tie-breaker will be whoever made the longest putt with their earliest putt (ie, if 2 people are tied with a 60-ft putt, if one person made it on their 2nd putt and the other made it on their 3rd putt, then the person who made it on their 2nd putt wins). If there's still a tie, the same tie-breaker goes to the next nearest distance, and so on. A pot $50 or less will go to the winner; a pot $55 - $100 will be split 70% winner/30% runner up; a pot over $100 will be split 65% winner/25% runner up/10% 3rd.
