So I ended up on the waitlist but I have a tee time on a card. I know how the wait list usually works but getting a tee time I'm confused on of I'm in?

Let's all be FSFZ smart and safe. Wear a mask when you can't keep 6 feet of social distance and when interacting publicly with sponsors, the media, and at Tournament HQ.

Bottled water for players has been donated by Dragun's Landscape Supply! Curbside Cocina food truck will be on site for lunch orders 11am-4pm. See Pictures above for Curbside Cocina's menu. Support local businesses!

Players should plan to arrive at the disc golf course NO EARLIER than 24 minutes before their tee time.
Two practice baskets and a throwing net will be available at the course for warm up. The Harry Wolf Jr. Field/Shelter 3 area of Two Mile Run Park (2195 Gypsy Glen Road, Beaver PA) has also been reserved for warming up. The Harry Wolf Jr field is 8 minute drive from the tournament site.
See Pictures (above) for a map of the area.

Any bets on the odds for getting in on the wait list?

Someone asked why we were restricting groups to 3-somes.
Here’s our rationale:
2 Reasons: ONE-- at the time that we switched the date from June 23 to July 5 we wanted 3somes to keep maximum social distance and fewer backups. Backups causes crowds around tee pads and backups are more
possible with Rec field of 25 including FA3;
TWO-- it's a 9-hole course played 2X with the second lap White tee/Gold basket layout playing significantly harder than the first round Red tee-Red bask ... more

An Ace Pool for "hole-in-ones" during the tournament has been added to registration options. No cash will be accepted the day of the event, so players who want in the ace pool should use the self-service link to update their registration and PayPal their $2 buy-in BEFORE July 5.
We apologize for not having this option set up previously.

Because of COVID-19, we are implementing measures to keep players safe and procure PDGA-sanctioning for the event, once PA government moves Beaver County to Green.

Everyone who plays in the tournament must agree to social distancing safety measures. If you are already registered for the tournament, please go the Registered Players page and Edit your registration by agreeing to the 4 safety measures.

We will keep players updated as things develop.

Now question, do you have to have a pdga number to be rated?

Flex-Start Friends:

We anticipated that the PDGA might cancel sanctioned events in May, and so we have worked with Brighton Township, the PDGA, and our sponsors to move the Flex-Start Friend-Zy to Sunday, July 5, 2020.

We all hope that business and recreation will be able to return as soon as it is safe and prudent, and fully support the need to postpone our 10th Anniversary celebration and PDGA C-tier tournament. We look forward to seeing you all on the course again later this year.

Keep the faith, skip the course and stay at home for now, and we will get through this together.
