FGDG NC AM Tour 2022 - Durham -Sponsored by Dynamic Discs

Back in 2022 and even better!

First big change - the "Put Up or Shut Open Card" - Limited to one card - 4 competitors - $50 entry, and play for the cash. Fly Guy is covering any park fees / PDGA fees for this card, so each event has a 8 person battle for the $400 prize! (Paid out per the PDGA 40% of field model)

AMS thinking of playing this card - make sure you are aware of the 2022 Tour Competition rules regarding payouts. You will NOT be able to take merch in lieu of cash.

The "Put Up or Shut Up" Pro division will NOT be part of the points series.

So that should be about it - we're going to have LOTS OF FUN, and I know I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

Last thing - This is a PDGA event. That means PDGA competition rules of play, as well as code of conduct.
If it doesn't belong in the park, leave it at home. Likewise, do not put me in the position to choose a player versus maintaining good relationships with the parks system - I'll sacrifice the player for bad conduct every time. A lot of work and cooperation goes into these facilities - and we cannot represent both the sport and the community in an ill light by breaking park rules and/or violating code of conduct protocols. Be familiar with the rules, and follow them. "I didn't know" is not an acceptable excuse.

See you tournament morning
