About this tournament
Welcome to the 2025 Kansas City Flying Disc Challenge!
For A and B Pools, the tournament will be four rounds over three days on four different courses:
Friday, June 6 - Water Works Park (Mach X)
Saturday, June 7 - Paradise Pointe - Woodhenge (Chainstar) (shotgun)
Saturday, June 7 - Paradise Pointe - Black Thorn (Chainstar) (shotgun)
Sunday, June 8 - Bad Rock Creek (Discatcher)
For C Pool, the tournament will be three rounds on tee times on three courses:
Friday, June 6 - Bad Rock Creek (tentative, Discatcher)
Saturday, June 7 - Hobby Hill (tentative, Discatcher)
Sunday, June 8 - Water Works (Mach X)
Tentative pool assignments (A & B Pools cap at 72, C Pool caps at 144) and Pool schedules:
Pool A: MPO
Pool B: FPO, MP40, MP50, MP60, MA1, FA1, MA40
Pool C: All other divisions.
Pool A: Water Works, Black Thorn, Woodhenge, Bad Rock Creek (Liberty Gold, MPO)
Pool B: Water Works, Woodhenge, Black Thorn, Bad Rock Creek (Liberty Gold, FPO)
Pool C: Bad Rock Creek (Liberty Gold, FPO), Hobby Hill (tentative), Water Works
Warm up areas:
Water Works has limited warm up areas. There is a small warm up area with practice basket to the east of Hole 9. There is an additional practice putting basket in the island (but it's a Mach III, I think - not a Mach X for sure).
Bad Rock Creek has fields available for warm up.
Woodhenge/Black Thorn are in a complex with three courses; Beaver Creek is the third course and is not part of the tournament. There is a practice basket for putting near hole 1 of Black Thorn, and a basket from Beaver immediately across the street from Black Thorn hole 1. There are also some open areas for warming up throughout the complex. Woodhenge has a practice basket near hole 13 tee.
Hobby Hill (tentative) warm up area TBD.
As always, thanks to our sponsors and partners!

There is a $6 (2023 rates) per car parking fee at Paradise Pointe in Smithville. Before the attendant is on duty, it is an honor system. Whether it's enforced, that's another matter, but KCFDC takes no responsibility if you do not pay and are ticketed. I recommend being early and carpooling to minimize parking fees.
Pass-through fee per PDGA rules:
$4/player PDGA fees
$3/player KCDG fees
$2/player City of Gladstone (C Pool only)
$4/player TD fees
Additional fees for portapotties, if necessary, will be added to pass through fees. See section "Tour Standards" and Pass Through fees.
