Hello players,
There will be no in person players meeting Saturday morning. This is your players meeting.
Masks that cover your mouth and nose are required when you sign in or any other time you are near the store and tournament central. Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.
Sign in will be in the parking lot where I will be set up with some tables. You must let me know you are on site.
Because of the current NJ Covid-19 Executive Order, no spectators or caddies are allowed.
Do not show up more than an hour before your tee time unless I have approved it for a valid reason.
Tee times are every 10 minutes starting at 8:00am with 3 to 4 people per card. Be at tee 18 more than 2 minutes before your tee time. Each card must have one person keep score on the PDGA live scoring PDGA.comScores access code Krampus and another play keep score via another method. We have paper score cards if needed.
I will be processing removals and waitlist adds till about 8pm Friday night. If you are on the waitlist you will get an email if you get in. At this time I will publish the tee times.
All divisions are close in tee times; after the last card is in from a division, we will then figure out the 40-50% winners. We will then assign groupings and your final 9 holes will commence. If you are not apart of the final 9 then shop at the store and have an early departure.
Layout for round 1 starts on hole 18 and each hole has been modified with mandos or OB. If the tee pads are icy then you way play from beside or behind them.
The course is not closed to the public while the tournament is going on and we must respect all other park goers. Be polite and inform them that a disc golf tournament is going on and the course is very busy today.
For amateur payout, I will be following the 40-50% cut line for who gets payout. All players playing the final 9 will get script to spend in the store.

For the safari holes like 2 to 3, do we need to pass the mando still? I would assume you have to ... just double checking

Brian Bochantin    December 22, 2020 at 3:21am

Because their is no players pack and I really want the winners to feel special, each winner will receive $120 in merchandise from the store!

Appreciate all the works that have been done. Mandos and OBs are marked clearly. But the hole 16's mando is a bit confusing. I'm assuming the current double mando is marked for the spider tree basket. And somehow the basket has been moved from the spider tree to the left of the fairway. The new basket position seems does not work with the double mando.

All OB is standard OB where you get a 1 stroke penalty and mark your lie where the disc was last in bounds.
All Mandos are standard with the exception that no drop zones (DZ) for any mando which means you take the 1 stroke penalty and throw again from the same lie.

Because of the ratings updates a few people had to move divisions.

Chris Fostek    December 5, 2020 at 12:19am

When do you think the tee time schedule will be posted?

Brian Bochantin    December 4, 2020 at 3:37pm

MA3 is the largest group so they will be teeing first at 8:00, 8:10, 8:20, 8:30 & 8:40. I estimate the first round taking 2 hours 30 minutes. This means the first card should be done around 10:30 and last card of MA3 should be done around 11:10. I'm thinking 15-20 minutes to identify and send out the first group of MA3 players onto their 2nd round final nine about 11:30, 11:40 & 11:50am.

Brian Bochantin    December 2, 2020 at 3:28pm

For Krampus comes to Mercer; with the latest NJ executive order we are changing this event to a tee time event and capping the number of players at 60. Each divisions tee times will be next to one another. You will still be playing round 1 as 18 holes and then a cut where half make it to a final 9 round 2.
Tee times will start at 8am and be every 10 minutes.
I have altered the registration and now general registration will commence Thursday 12/3 at 7pm.

Michael Ronan    December 2, 2020 at 1:25am

So I assume the tournament is canceled?

Daniel Spivack    November 30, 2020 at 9:33pm

is 48 the total amount of players that can sign up before nov. 3 or is this the total amount for the tourny?

Jeff Pitcher    November 5, 2020 at 1:02pm

If you sponsor a hole on the 12th, are you restricted by your PDGA rating on which division you can register for when sponsoring?

Michael Ronan    October 26, 2020 at 1:42pm

If I don’t have a PDGA number do I have to wait until the 3rd to register?
