DIVISION MINIMUMS:
All divisions must have at least four players to make a division. (women and junior divisions excluded)


LUNCH:
Lunch will not be provided or readily available since we are doing tee times. There will be vendors behind the club house on Satuday for the bouldering event as well as snacks and drinks (soda, water, powerade, beer, etc) in the club house.


SPONSORSHIP:
Hole Sponsorship is $40. All proceeds go toward tournament expenses and payout. With course fees, players packs items, trophies, PDGA fees, basket transportation, gas, supplies and more, it adds up fast. This is not a cheap event so every bit helps out.


CAPS ON POOLS AND DIVISIONS:
Since there are two course and multiple teepads, I will have initial caps on divisions to keep the cards/tees/divisions as balanced as possible. These have been determined by the average amount in each division over the past COTL events. That being said, if registration fills fast and the numbers are off, I will adjust to accommodate accordingly based on order of sign ups on the waitlist. So in other words... get on the waitlist if it fills fast and you do not get in.


NEW PDGA RULES THIS YEAR:
For a B Tier, YOU MUST HAVE A CURRENT PDGA MEMBERSHIP.
