To comply with local leaders and PGE requirements, there will not be a player meeting or awards ceremony on site. Please observe social distancing measures and all mandates to include staying a minimum 6’ apart and not gather in groups of 25. Wear face masks when required as well. We also ask you remain in your vehicle and not gather around tournament central prior to check in time. Please be flexible with the Covid-19 standards as they seem to evolve as we learn more.

Player’s meeting:
A virtual players meeting will be held online through Facebook and a printed version will be available as well.
Number of rounds and format:
There will be two rounds played over two days, one round per day of 21 holes. Due to restrictions being placed we were not able to coordinate for three rounds over two days like we wanted. Also, to help with social distancing, we will be using staggered start times in 15-minute intervals.

Award Ceremony:
Due to restrictions of Covid-19 the award ceremony has been canceled. Official scores will be posted on the PDGA event page. Trophies will be custom made to include the athletes name engraved on a laser-etched slate 8” round provided by Pro Active Sports.

TD Message:
I had a vision, a vision to make a regional master’s championship a memorable event. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions due to Covid-19, several concessions were made to make this event a go. The decision was made to have an abbreviated event anyway and make the best of it. I am sure many of you share my frustration of the many restrictions being placed on disc golf as a hole. However, I also hope you are optimistic that things can and will improve so next year this event will be exponentially better.
