#1: CTPs!
Who doesn’t like a good ole CTP, and Twin Rivers is pretty much the hallmark of winning some free stuff. There are going to be 13 holes total for CTPs per round. This works out to 2 CTP holes per division and 1 “All divisions” CTP. Winners of the CTP will win one disc from the “Eric Hughes Private Stash.” I’ll have a mix of mostly used (but still great quality) discs stemming from Innova, Infinite, Millennium, Discraft, Prodigy, and Dynamic Discs. ... more

#1: CTPs!
Who doesn’t like a good ole CTP, and Twin Rivers is pretty much the hallmark of winning some free stuff. There are going to be 13 holes total for CTPs per round. This works out to 2 CTP holes per division and 1 “All divisions” CTP. Winners of the CTP will win one disc from the “Eric Hughes Private Stash.” I’ll have a mix of mostly used (but still great quality) discs stemming from Innova, Infinite, Millennium, Discraft, Prodigy, and Dynamic Discs. The CTP flags will be at your hole’s teepad, so if you are the first card out, make sure you grab it for that hole. As I mentioned, each CTP will be reset for the 2nd round. If you believe you have won a CTP, visit me in between rounds to select your disc.

The CTP Holes are listed below:
All Divisions — Hole 3
MA1 — Hole 6, Hole 7
MA2 — Hole 2, Hole 17
MA3/MJ18 — Hole 12, Hole 18
FA2 — Hole 9, Hole 13
MA40 — Hole 1, Hole 5
MA50 — Hole 8, Hole 16

#2 Ace Pot
Since there was no money collected for an ace pot amongst the competitors, I am going to put in $50 into the ace pot for our event. WOO HOO!

#3 Weather Conditions
Now the not-so-fun stuff. The weather looks to have the potential for rain, and I was notified throughout this week that there has been standing water on some tee pads. In that case, if there is standing water on the tee pad, you may elect to throw from up to 2ft on either side. I also urge that this is a group consensus if a player wants to do so.

Welcome to the NADGT Exclusive event at Twin Rivers DGC in Arlington, WA.

About the Event
Schedule and any information for the event can be found on the Disc Golf Scene event page.

PARKING: SnoCo Parks Department is still not allowing us to open up the back parking lot, so parking will be tight. If the front lot is full, there will be parking available on the side of the road and at the courthouse up the street. I apologize for the inconvenience, but COVID is still a thing and they want to manage the flow of traffic into the park.

Your starting holes will posted to the PDGA event page 24 hours prior to the event: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/48438

Check-in ENDS at 7:40 am. You must check in at tournament central (i.e., the tent by hole 1) in order to secure your spot. All spots remaining open after check-in has ended will be allocated to the first person who is on the waitlist and present prior to the beginning of the tournament.

After checking in please proceed directly to your starting holes. Two minute warning will be called prior to start time and rounds will start promptly at 8:00am.

There will be 2 Ghost groups, meaning 2 groups will be starting on the same hole. The ghost group will be the second group to tee from each hole.
If your starting hole is GH1 you will be the ghost group starting on Hole 5.
If your starting hole is GH2 you will be the ghost group starting on Hole 12.

Approximate start times for the second rounds are currently posted on the Disc Golf Scene event page. Exact start times will be updated there, as well as the PDGA event page as soon as all round 1 scores are submitted.

Official scoring will be via the PDGA digital scorecard.
Scorecard link: https://www.pdga.com/score
ACCESS CODE: TwinRivers

One member of each group please use uDisc as backup score keeping and send a screenshot of the scorecard to the TD's if there are any issues submitting through the PDGA scorecard.

The digital scorecard has all hole specific rules in the notes for each hole. These should all match tee signs.

ALTERNATE TEES will be played during Round 2. This is specifically for hole 10 (alt tee behind the original, hole is now a par 4), and hole 16 (alt tee is to the right of the original).

COVID Guidelines
As with all events in the past year, masks will be required around the tournament central area and when interacting with tournament staff. Please maintain social distancing wherever possible during your rounds. It is suggested that you leave the area for lunch and/or stay within groups of 5 or less during this time.

Please make sure to familiarize yourself with some important PDGA rules before the start of the event:

Players Packs:
You may receive your players pack when you check in. I will have a tent set up by Hole 1 where you can grab your gear. NOTE: If you registered within 10 days of the event, your players pack will be mailed to you directly.

Payouts:
All payouts and invitations for all divisions will be sent out through the NADGT after the event. If you win your division, come see me for a trophy pin.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Any funky rules for the tournament? There is a new long tee pad on #10 that makes it a nice par 4. They also cut ALL the grass in the field so it's tough to see the "long grass" OB.

Colin Bryant    April 2, 2021 at 6:44pm

My 13 year old son would like to play in the junior division. Is a spot there still open?

Dylan Shroyer    March 17, 2021 at 6:31am

Hey Eric, I'm on waitlist in MA2, but if a spot in MA1 becomes available I'd be ok with that as well.

Zack Bolstad    January 26, 2021 at 5:22pm

Is this going to be a shot gun start or is going to have tee times?

Jacob Stilley    January 26, 2021 at 2:13pm

Do we know when the PDGA site will be reflecting the change from Terrace to Twin Rivers?

Nate S    January 26, 2021 at 4:04am

So to be clear there isn’t an NADGT event at terrace creek, this is moved?

Philip Saul    January 25, 2021 at 1:19am

How come it was changed from Terrace?
