Please refer to flyer for estimated players pack items. Junior divisions have a reduced registration fee and reduced players pack. Juniors have the option to "buy up" to the standard players pack during registration. Any registration after 1/10/24 may be subject to an alternative players pack of the same value pending availability.

Trophies will be awarded for divisions with a minimum of 5 players in the division. If there are only 5 players in the division, only a 1st place trophy will be awarded. For divisions with 10-15 players, a 1st and 2nd place trophy will be awarded. Divisions with 16+ players will be awarded 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place trophies.

Any first place tie will result in a sudden death playoff that will be played indefinitely until the tie is resolved.

All other ties for trophy positions will result in a sudden death playoff that will be played on holes 1,2 and 3 of the respective courses. Should this not resolve the tie, CTP on hole 3 will be used to determine who is awarded the trophy.

Virtual players’ meeting will be posted on the Bearded Builder Events Facebook page and a link will be emailed. Early check-in will be available Friday the 26th with details to come. Your player’s pack will also be available for pick up day of event at your starting courses tournament central.

Per PDGA guidelines, we will be using the PDGA Ratings Update published on January 9th to determine division eligibility. At this time, any adjustments to players division and pool will be made on this day and notification will be sent via email to any impacted players. This will also allow any additional spots that are open to allow for these changes to be released to the waitlist.
