About this tournament
NOTE: MUST BE AN ELIGIBLE COLLEGE DISC GOLF STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE.
This will be the first event of the South Central College Disc Golf Conference. It will be a one-day PDGA sanctioned event and will consist of:
- 1 Round of Singles at the BEAST
- Followed by 1 Round of College Disc Golf Team Even/Odd Best Shot Alternate Doubles at the BEAST for Mixed division. 1 Round of Best-Shot doubles for women's division. See https://collegediscgolf.com/rules/ for a more in-depth explanation of the format.
Teams:
-Mixed teams will consist of 4 people. Women are eligible to play on the mixed teams of four if they want. If they do, then they must play in the MA1 division in the singles round, rather than the women's division.
- Women's teams consist of two people
-If a mixed division team has less than four people, then they will receive the worst singles score +5 strokes for their 3rd or fourth individual score to average into their team singles score depending on how many people short they are. Additionally, during the team round for one of their pairs they will only get one throw rather than two if they are missing one player and will have to take that shot. If they are two players short, then each "pair" will only consist of one person and they will essentially play even odd alternating doubles, rather than even odd pair best shot alternating doubles. They cannot both shoot on every shot. They have to split where one shoots even and one shoots odd and then alternate.
-If a women's division team has less than two people, then they will receive the worst singles score +5 strokes for their second individual score to average into their team singles score. Additionally, for the team round they will only get one shot per hole and will essentially be playing another singles round as their team round. They do NOT get two shots per hole if they are short a person.

Conference Series Qualification:
Team Championship Qualification:
-The top 3 placing teams from each conference event will qualify, giving a total of 12 qualifying teams for the conference championship. If a team has already qualified from a previous event, and they finish in the top 3 of another conference event, then the qualifying bid will go the next highest placing team that has not qualified. There must be a minimum of 2 people that are not part of a qualifying team to make that particular team eligible to qualify. I.e. you cannot have your A team that already qualified swap one person out for someone else on your B team and use that "new" A team to qualify for an event. The team you enter for the conference championship can be different than the initial team used for qualification as long as the people on the team are eligible college disc golf players from your school. They do not have to be the exact individuals/team who qualified for the conference championship.
- Women's division teams do not need to qualify for the final.
Singles Championship Qualification
- All individuals on a team with an eligible bid that has registered for the conference championship will be eligible to participate in the singles conference championship.
- The top 3 individuals from each conference event qualify for the singles championship final. If a person's team has already qualified for the conference championship, then they have already qualified for the singles conference championship and their bid goes to the next eligible person. An individual must place in 10th place or higher to be eligible to qualify for the singles final. I.e. if a person places in 11th place, and all people ahead of them have already qualified for the singles championship (either via their team or individually), they will still NOT qualify.
-Women's division players do not need to qualify for the finale
