Maverick DG: McLouth Disc Golf Tournament sponsored by Innova

Remember, if you have Amateur payout, it is redeemable at the Maverick DG brick/mortar store at 600 E. Santa Fe St., Ste C, Olathe, KS 66061. If you can't make it in, let me know and I'll issue you a gift code to be used online at www.maverickdiscgolf.com. Only about 20% of the store's inventory is listed online, so you have a MUCH LARGER SELECTION in-store.

All Pros have been paid, mostly by a mailed check and a couple of Paypal payments. If you haven't received your check let me know.

OB lines - in year's past I have painted a ton of lines. I am sorry, but this was not possible this year. Remember, if there is a doubt, the benefit goes to the player. For the roads, use the grass as the OB line. If it's touching grass, it is safe. On Holes 17 & 18, if it is on the wrong side of the mashed down fence, it is OB. If you get to the point where there is no longer a fence, then there is no OB line, so there is no OB. This is a very generous interpretation of OB for those holes than what we have had in the past. My reasoning is without a definitive OB line, it will cause backups, misinterpretation, inconsistent interpretation, etc.

Thanks,

Welcome to the 2022 McLouth Disc Golf Tournament presented by INNOVA!

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EMAIL. WE ARE NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL PLAYER MEETING…THIS EMAIL IS YOUR PLAYER MEETING.

If you are receiving this email because you used your email when signing up another player for the event, please forward this info to that player.

THANK YOU SPONSORS:

HUGE THANK YOU to INNOVA Disc Golf for their title sponsorship.

Thank you also to the City of McLouth for allowing us to run this tournament and their continued support throughout the years.

DIVISIONS / DATES:

Everyone is playing two rounds on Saturday, March 5th on a shotgun start. Round one hole assignments will be posted sometime Friday evening at the pdga event page. HOWEVER - Please recheck your hole assignments after you check in to make sure they did not change.

https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55394

Round two shotgun start time and hole assignments will be posted at the same link.

>> As a reminder - you still need to check in with the Course Director from 8 - 8:40 Saturday morning.

LATE WITHDRAWAL / NO-SHOW

You have until 7am Friday to withdraw and get a refund minus the $5 late withdraw fee. If you cannot make it and notify me at 785-764-2229 prior to tee time, you will still receive your player pack. To cancel, text or call your name and division, with comment you are cancelling to 785-764-2229.



PARKING -
You can park either at the main parking lot near the playground or in the parking lots near the football field. Please do not park anywhere along the road that is near a golf fairway.

RESTROOMS

A portable toilet has been rented and will be stationed at tournament central. The restroom at the football field may or may not be unlocked.

CHECK-IN

Check-in is from 8 am - 8:40 am at the east shelter near the playground. All players, Pro and Am, need to check in. If you don’t check in, I will presume you are a No Call, No Show and you may be scratched from the event.


SCORING

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: bulldog

CADDY BOOK

Hole lengths, pars, and OB rules are listed in the PDGA app while you are keeping score. Aaron Hieb, your Tournament Director onsite, has created this awesome caddy book as well.

Mclouth Caddie Book

This is a 2018 map of the course. It has changed slightly from then, but it’s pretty close.
https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course_files/7646/f20b1335.jpg

COURSE CONDITIONS / INCLEMENT WEATHER

There are no known adverse conditions. When it rains, this course gets very muddy. Bring extra shoes, socks, clothes in general. You wouldn’t think that I would have to say this, but there is a backstory. The tournament directors are not responsible for your brand new shoes getting muddy.

The tournament plays rain or shine or snow. If there is lightening, the Tournament Director will sound the air horn in three quick blasts and then repeat it again one minute later. If this happens, do not finish your hole. Mark your lie with a rock or a stick (something heavy) and seek shelter. We then suspend play until thirty minutes after the last lightening event. The restart time will be communicated by the tournament director and posted on the dgscene and facebook event pages.

PLAYER PACKS

All amatuer players will receive a tournament stamped Innova disc and towel. Recreational division will also receive a Maverick Disc Golf Zing mini.

Disc molds and color choices are on a first come, first serve basis. This list of available discs is for you to help do some research ahead of time to make the process faster.

Innova choices:

Star AviarX3
GStar Mamba
Star Roc3
Star Shryke
Star Teebird
Champion Valkyrie
Shimmer Star VRoc3


Innova: https://www.innovadiscs.com/disc-golf-discs/


WATER

While there will be water coolers on the course I fully expect they will go dry at some point. They will be refilled as soon as possible, but you need to be prepared to bring enough water for yourself. The water on the course is a back-up.

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.


LUNCH BREAK / ROUND 2

We will have an approximately 1 hour lunch break after the last card is completed before starting round 2. Round two hole assignments will not be the same as round one. Round two will be found at the same pdga even link:

https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55394

AVAILABLE LUNCH:

The McLouth Library will be selling lunches available for purchase. Please consider buying your lunch from them so we can give back to the community of McLouth. I know they will have muffins and breakfast burritos in the morning and hot dogs, chilli dogs, frito pies, etc, for lunch. The prices we were talking about was very reasonable.



IF YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW

If you decide for any reason that you don’t or can’t play the second round, please tell Aaron Hieb, the onsite Tournament Director. This is crucial as it will affect others on how the second round is organized.


ACE / CTP FUND

If you paid into the ace fund during registration you are included in this. If you didn’t pay in you can skip to next section.

Thank you for participating into the Ace Fund. With all Maverick DG events, the Ace fund is paid out as large ticket items and not as cash. This is one of the ways MavDG is ‘maverick’ and it helps to pay for tournament expenses. I determine the payout items so that what is given out is higher than what was paid in so both the winner and the tournament benefits.

PRIZES:

Normally we have multiple items from the presenting sponsor for the Ace Fund prizes. At the time this tournament order was placed, large ticket items were out of stock. So we are substituting these items in their place.

Qty 1 GRIPeq pink CS2 (Retail value $179)
Qty 1, $90 voucher to be used on your choice at Maverick Disc Golf’s physical store or website.
Qty 2, InZone XXL Kwik Stik, retail value $70 each, $140 total.

As always, the retail value of the prizes meets or exceeds 150% of value that was paid in.

Please note: If there is a tie for first place in your division, we may start the CTP game before your playoff is done. If you super duper rather play the CTP game than for the First Place Trophy, you can always forfeit the playoff. I would ask you though - why are you playing in a tournament if not to win the prize of First Place?

For the full rules on how the Ace fund works, you can go here:

CTP / Ace throw off - Maverick style


AWARDS / PAYOUTS

To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. Awards will be given out as soon as the clear winner has been determined. If you think you may be getting a trophy, please stick around to take it home with you as we won’t be able to mail them. Unclaimed trophies can be collected at our Olathe, KS store.

PRO PAYOUTS can be either a check mailed to you to save fees, or via PayPal Goods and Services (winner pays fees) based on what you chose during registration.

AM PAYOUTS can either be redeemed via our webstore, maverickdiscgolf.com or in person ath our physical store in Olathe, KS at 600 E. Santa Fe St. Ste C. At this time the webstore only has about 20% of what the physical store does. We are working to get more listed.

All payout vouchers for all Maverick DG vended tournaments in 2022 expire 12/31/2022.

TROPHIES

There is a First Place trophy for all divisions. Additionally there is a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Recreational (MA3)

PDGA POSTING

My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Sunday evening.

THANK YOU

I want to sincerely thank you for choosing to play in Maverick Disc Golf events, and particularly the McLouth Disc Golf Tournament. If you are a first timer, I hope you enjoy it!

Al McKellips    March 3, 2022 at 9:45pm

Will there be a painted line on the ob 4 18 or are we supposed to try and use what's left of the fence?

Rob Martin    March 3, 2022 at 8:31pm

I am working on the Welcome email that will provide more information, but for now if you want to see the Caddy Book, here's the link:

Ric Morando Jr.    March 3, 2022 at 2:16pm

We didn’t have access to mulch this year. And with the city moving brush out of the way, there’s a lot of fresh dirt and mud on the back part of the course. Please keep this in mind. If we get the forecasted storms, it will get sloppy. If you don’t mind the elements, bring it on Saturday. If you have an issue with your shoes getting dirty, please pass the baton onto the others on the waiting list. Hope to see you out there.

Matthew Wilderson    March 2, 2022 at 6:59pm

There's thunderstorms in the forecast. How soon before the event will we know if the round(s) are cancelled?

Michael Gow    March 2, 2022 at 2:57pm

Hey Rob, looks like I've made it to waitlist #1. If im still there come tournament morning is there potential for me to fill a no-show spot?

Justin Farrell    March 1, 2022 at 3:23pm

Hey Rob, I'm considering signing up for the waitlist. Any chances you extend past 90?

Al McKellips    February 28, 2022 at 1:10am

Are the brush piles littered around the course going to be moved before the tournament or are they purposely placed obstacles?

Kevin Rieger    February 22, 2022 at 2:19am

Are the baskets currently in the positions they will be in for the tournament?

Alex Banning    January 24, 2022 at 9:08pm

Is it realistic that I could get in while being #8 on the waitlist atm?

Benjamin Miller    January 22, 2022 at 10:48pm

How does the waitlist work?

Will the 1st person get in no matter what division a person drops out of or is it the division that they are in has to have a person drop?
