PARKING:
There is limited parking at LaBenite DGC. Please, park in the new gravel lot so that as many cars as possible can park there. If the new gravel lot and the small lot in front are full, please DO NOT park along the fairway to hole 1 or near hole 18 basket. Park on the west side of the road if possible, or park over the levee near the river.

GROUPING:
Groups will be mixed and assigned (if you have not created your own) as people show up to the course. This is a flex start event, starting on hole 1. Groups can be 3, 4 or 5 players. Players can tee off as early as 8:30 (or as soon as I get there) and as late as 2:00.

SCORECARDS:
The PDGA Digital Scorecard is the Official Scorecard. The link is PDGA.com/Score. The access code will be available at the event. A paper scorecard will be provided to each group, along with the rules. Please reconcile or check your scores and remember to submit them on the PDGA web app. YOU MUST KEEP TWO SETS OF SCORES AND RECONCILE THEM AT THE END. The second scorecard may be paper or digital (i.e. uDisc).

TOURNAMENT CENTRAL/BATHROOMS:
Tournament Central and the LaBenite bathrooms are near hole 1. Please warm up on the driving range and putting area and not on the course.

Amateur payouts will be through Dynamic Discs - Kansas City, Maverick Disc Golf, or Truly Unique Disc Golf – pick one on entry or pick one at check-in.
Professional payouts are through PayPal, unless you prefer a check. I can do that too.

LAST:
I’ll have some merchandise for sale – basically, I have some items from past events and a couple of fun items from the 2022 KCFDC that I’d be happy to sell, including Whale Sacs ($15), Pulsars ($11), and various other discs ($8-$16). All money raised will go back into the main event Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for your support!

Thank you to all of the players who have supported the KCFDC Nightmare series. Almost 400 rounds have been played in the three previous events, and over 100 are signed up for the last of the series as of this writing. I currently am tentatively planning on one more Nightmare flex start event, which will be Friday, May 27, 2022 at Water Works Park.
See you on the course!
