Round two tee times will be posted at the same link within two hours after round one has completed.
Please check in 15 minutes before your tee time. You are required to be at Hole 1 starting area 5 minutes before your tee time and remain present. A two stroke penalty may be assessed if you are late.
LATE WITHDRAWAL / NO-SHOW
At this point, it is too late to receive a refund. However, if you notify me at 785-764-2229 more than 5 minutes before your tee time, you will still receive your player pack for an Am.
To cancel, text or call your name and division, with comment you are canceling to 785-764-2229.
PARKING -
There are two different parking lots you can use. I’m not sure how full the lots will be as we cannot reserve the lots. I would recommend that you car pool if you can and that you get to the course in plenty of time in order to park.
RESTROOMS
Their are restrooms 800’ from hole 1 on the other side of the large shelter. There are no additional restrooms on the course.
PRACTICE AREA
There is a junior 9-hole course adjacent to the course we are playing. The holes are varied but are generally less than 200’. They do have full size baskets.
CHECK-IN
Check-in and player pack pick up will be at the picnic tables near Hole 1.
SCORING
Every player is required to keep score for every person on their card. We will be using the PDGA digital scoring system. (This is not Udisc). To access it, go to pdga.com/score. Enter in the password, then your last name or PDGA number, and the card will pull up. I will have paper scorecards as a backup. You can also use udisc as a backup. However, to submit the scores, it needs to be done through the PDGA scoring system.
Password: shootout
CADDY BOOK
Hole lengths, pars, and OB rules are listed in the PDGA app while you are keeping score. They should match the tee signs at each tee. If they do not match, the PDGA app is the official document.
COURSE CONDITIONS
Black Hoof is mostly cart friendly with the exception of the steps from Hole 1 to Hole 2. The fairways have been mowed well, but off of the fairway can be tall grass or thick undergrowth. Tick repellent is highly recommended. Be aware that these are woods and watch your step when off the fairway.
AMATEUR PLAYER PACKS
All Ams will receive a tournament stamped Innova Disc and a Maverick athletic shirt. Those that registered prior to June 15th could reserve a shirt size. Those that registered after the cutoff will be limited to the sizes that are left over.
The choices are:
Star Polecat
Champion Classic Glow Aviar3
Galactic XT Jay
Flat Top Champion Firebird
Champion Classic Glow Leopard3
Shimmer Star Mystere
Champion Classic Glow Corvette

WATER
You need to bring enough water for yourself for the whole round. While there will be water coolers on the course, these are intended to be backups. At this time I’m planning on having them at Hole 6, Hole 12 White Tee (blues and tips walk past this tee on 12), and Hole 14 in-between the blue pin and the gravel road.
BONUS PRIZES
ROUND ONE PRIZE: If you have the Hot Round of your whole division (not your card, but the whole division) you will get a Hot Round mini. They are not much, only a mini, but the only way you can get one is by having the Hot Round, so it’s kind of cool.
ROUND TWO PRIZE: If you win your card, you win a prize from the white prize box that is called the Toy Box. Typical items are sticker sheets, can coolers, license plate frames, etc.
IF YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW
If you decide for any reason that you don’t or can’t play the second round, please tell the TD onsite or text at 785-764-2229. This is crucial as it will affect others on how the second round is organized.
ACE / CTP FUND
There is no ace fund for this event.
AWARDS / PAYOUTS
To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. Trophies will be given out as soon as the clear winner is determined after the second round. PRO PAYOUTS can be either a check picked up at the course after round two is finished, a check picked up at the shop, a check mailed to you, or PayPal Goods and Services (winner pays fees) based on what you chose during registration. AM PAYOUTS are redeemable at Maverick Disc Golf in Olathe, KS. If you proactively request one, you can also redeem it at our webstore maverickdiscgolf.com. If you choose the webstore, it will charge you shipping. There is no additional payout for MA3 / FA3.
TROPHIES
There is a First Place trophy for all divisions that pre-registered and have more than one player. There is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Recreational MA3.
PDGA POSTING
My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Monday evening.
THANK YOU
I want to sincerely thank you for choosing to play in Maverick Disc Golf events, and particularly in first ever B-tier at Black Hoof. If you are a first timer at a Maverick event, I hope you enjoy it!
