CHECK IN:
Players should check in prior to their round to be assigned a group. Check in will open at 7:30 and all players must check in by 12:40 or be considered a no show for the event. This allows us to make sure all players are able to find a card and begin their round no later than 1:00.

TEE TIMES:
For this event, players will not select a tee time at registration. Players may tee anytime between 8 AM and 1 PM. Players should plan on teeing off during that window and will be grouped randomly on site into cards of 3-4 players. Any player who has not checked in with the TDs by the designated time, will not be allowed to participate in this event.

PLAYERS MEETING:
There will be no on site players meeting for the events in this series. You will receive an email containing all relevant information for each event no later than 24 hours before the event. If you have any questions in regards to any aspect of the event, please make sure to ask the TDs during check in.

Division winners will be awarded a trophy after the event. There is no awards ceremony and you do not need to stay after completing your round. Trophies will not be available the day of the event and may be collected at a future event.

All players are automatically entered into a $100 Ace Pot.

There will be at least one CTP that all players will be eligible to win.

As a way to encourage PDGA growth, we will award a PDGA membership to the lowest scoring player at the event that has not previously been registered with the PDGA.
