The 2020 CLE Rock

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky November 7, 2020 at 3:00am

Tentative Round 1 hole assignments have been posted on the PDGA page. The link can be found below.

Please note that this may change tomorrow pending any other drops or additions. So please be sure to check the Scorepoint after the Player's Meeting to ensure you have the correct starting hole.

Also, check-in is required, as you must sign your player's card to play. As mentioned, this will include the PDGA COVID-19 waiver. Thanks for your understanding on this.

Player's Meeting Details

Registration will be from 8:15 until 9 AM. All players are required to check in and will also be required to sign their player's card, which will include the PDGA COVID-19 waiver. Player Packs will be given to all amateur players during check in, along with an event sheet that details the course OBs and Mandos, along with the PDGA Digital Scoring link and password. During check-in, masks and social distancing will be required. Please be sure to respect the local mandates in regards to both masks and social distancing, as we do not want to draw negative publicity from other parkgoers. At 9 AM, a short Player's Meeting will be done to ensure all players understand the OBs and Mandos (which will also be posted below). I will try to post starting holes for Round 1 in the morning before the event, but that will not be finalized until all players have checked in.
So it is vital that all players are present for the Player's Meeting to ensure they know what hole they will be starting on. There will also be a $2 ace fund that must be paid during registration if a player chooses to partake. If no aces are hit, a throw off will occur at the end of the 2nd round while final scores and payouts are being tabulated. There will be no cash divisional CTP that was mentioned earlier (at $3 per player). Instead, there will be 3 all division CTPs on holes 4, 5 and 6 that will be in play for both rounds for all players at no charge.

PDGA digital scoring is encouraged, and all players will receive the info with the event sheet. Paper cards will also be provided to each card. My suggestion is to have one player use digital scoring and one player keep score on the paper scorecard, using the paper card as a verification that scores are correct before they are "verified" using the PDGA digital scoring app. If a card chooses to only use the paper card, that is acceptable and must be promptly returned after each round. If digital scoring is used, scores must be "verified" after the completion of each round. The site prompts you for this and asks for either a player's PDGA # or last name to complete this.

There will be a 45 minute lunch break after the final card is returned. There are many options around for lunch, including Wendy's, Burger King, Mr. Hero, Chipotle, and a few pubs that have great food and beer (Paragon, Beach Club Bistro, Great Scott). But the start of the 2nd round will commence 45 minutes after that last card is submitted, and the tee of for Round 2 will be posted at Tournament HQ and also on this page here. There will be no player's meeting for round 2, but players should plan on ensuring that their group has a paper card, just in case there is issues with digital scoring or if they decide to only use the paper card to keep scores during their round. They should also check to see what hole they will start on, as that will not be posted on the PDGA site.
During lunch, scores will be updated at Tournament HQ on the Scorepoint and then groups will be organized based on the scores for the final round, per PDGA rules.

After Round 2, total event scores will be tabulated and then verified. Once that is complete, there will be an awards ceremony. All professional payouts will be handled through Paypal that evening. For amateurs, payouts will include vouchers for discs and other items provided by our club. To ensure safety and social distancing, payouts will be done in smaller groups, with 1st place for each division getting to pick first, followed by 2nd place, and so on and so forth. I also ask that you wear masks at this time. CTPs will also be awarded at this time, and any throw off needed for the Ace Fund will also be going on as well. I do not plan on selling discs at this event. The only discs available will be through payouts. This may change, but if it does, this will only be after the event.


Event OBs:

OBs for the event:

Hole 1 -- Concrete Path running behind hole 1 basket (on or over)
Hole 2 -- Lake Erie
Hole 2A -- Lake Erie
Hole 10 -- Apartment building patios
Hole 11 -- Sidewalk near Lakeshore Blvd. (on or over)
Hole 15 -- Sidewalk near Lakeshore Blvd. (on or over)
Hole 16 -- Sidewalk near Lakeshore Blvd. (on or over)
Hole A -- Park entrance road and sidewalk near Lakeshore Blvd. (on or over)
Hole B -- Park entrance road and Playground area (inside wooden planks)
Hole 18 -- Parking area (on or over)

Event Mandos:

Hole 2-- Mando to the left of the pine tree directly off the tee (drives cannot go over the beach unless you are past this tree on the left first)

Hole 14 -- Mando to the left of the tree directly off the the tee (drives cannot go through 13's fairway)

Hole 15 -- Mando to the left of the first tree of the tee. This is a result of an enormous fallen tree that creates a safety issue if you play the hyzer route towards 12's fairway. The tree creates a blind spot and forces you to throw well into 12's fairway, so to avoid this the Mando here will be enforced.

These are in place to maintain the speed of play and not put other players and parkgoers at risk. Each tree will have red caution tape around it and a list of the OBs and these Mandos will be provided to all players the morning of the event.

If anybody has any questions, please let me know. As mentioned, I will try to have the hole assignments posted either late Friday or early Saturday. But until players check-in, this will not be finalized. So please be sure to promptly check-in and to also be present for the player's meeting so you can ensure you know what hole to start on.

During the high winds this last weekend, an enormous tree on hole 15 came down. As of right now, they hyzer route to that pin is not playable due to safety concerns from players playing on hole 12. So for the event, there will be a Mando to the left of the first tree of the tee to help ensure that no players get struck by discs. This will be marked with red caution tape, similar to the one's to be marked on holes 2 and 14.

If the city does get out to clean this up tomorrow or Friday ... more

If the city does get out to clean this up tomorrow or Friday, the hole will play as normal with no Mando. I will assess that in the morning, but plan on the Mando for this hole, unless otherwise posted or communicated the day of the event.

Please also follow safety protocols during the player's meeting and any times where social distancing cannot be maintained. This includes wearing a mask. This will be required during check-in and during payouts as well. Payouts will also be limited to smaller groups so social distancing can be maintained. This means that I will allow the amateur players who finish in 1st place in each division to get their payouts first, followed by 2nd place in each division, etc. This will allow social distancing to be maintained.

We also have a few players who have moved off the waitlist into the event. If you are one of those players and have not paid as of yet, please do so before the event. The goal is to not have any exchange of cash during the event. I will post those individuals names below:

Adam Burg
Aaron Banks
Christian Martin
Eric Ritson
Ryan Taylor

If the "pay" button is not available here on the event page, you are not linked to the event. I will also send a message to those with payment instructions.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks.

There will be a very prompt player's meeting the morning of the event to ensure OBs are understood. Otherwise, this event will be very straightforward. Digital Scoring will be encouraged, and the code will be provided to all players.

Also, each player will be required to sign their Player's Card that will include the PDGA COVID-19 waiver. Details for that and all of the PDGA recommendations can be found here:

We are officially full at 84 players. The waitlist will be set up as cashless to avoid any refunds needed. If you want to be added to the waitlist, please comment name, divisions, and PDGA # (if applicable) and you will be added in the order of commenting. Payment will be required the night before the event if you do happen to get a spot if any of the current players drop.

Thanks.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky October 8, 2020 at 1:56pm

We now have a very special player's pack that will be given out at this year's event and it will be kept as a surprise. I assure you, it will be something all player's should like. The player's pack has a $20 value, and the division fee breakdown has been updated in the "About" section for this event.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky October 7, 2020 at 3:25pm

Please note there will be a 3 person minimum per division, with the exception of Women's divisions. If there is not 3 per division for MA40, MA50, and MA60, you will have the opportunity to form one division or to move to another qualifying division.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky September 1, 2020 at 8:27pm

Registration is officially set to open this coming Wednesday (September 3rd) at 8 PM. This event will be set up for paying registration only, and no cash-less registration will be accepted. If registration is low, cash-less registration will open up 2 weeks before the event.

Keep in mind this event moves to a Saturday for 2020, and also moves to November. So the weathering is bound to be chilly. It will feature 2 rounds of 21 holes, including the Beach Shot and the standard 20 holes playable at Sims Park.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky August 25, 2020 at 7:45pm

Once this event is officially sanctioned later this week, registration will open. This event will also be prepay only with no cashless preregistration available. I'm guessing by Saturday, I will have the event sanctioning taken care of. This event will be a C-Tier for both Pros and Ams. Thanks.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky August 17, 2020 at 8:48pm

Please note that the date for this event has changed to November 7th and has now been approved for the reschedule and sanctioning. Sanctioning fees will be paid later this week and at that point I will re-open registration, with the event staying as a pre-pay only event. More details to come very soon including player pack details and other pertinent information.

Thanks.

Larry Bright Jr.    Sticky July 19, 2020 at 2:08pm

I am temporarily disabling registration for this event with the current COVID situation. Being in Cuyahoga County, getting approval from the park for this event in September. This event will still happen. But it may be delayed if things don't improve. A tentative reschedule will most likely be in early November from what I can see based on other local events.

Chris Jackson    November 8, 2020 at 12:11am

Thanks to Larry and everyone else involved today! Great day for sure!

Larry Bright Jr.    November 8, 2020 at 12:00am

All payouts for MPO Players have been sent. If there's any issues, please let me know.

Thanks!

Larry Bright Jr.    November 7, 2020 at 11:45am

Hole assignments have been updated this morning. Please note this is still not finalized!!! Once all players check-in, the assignments will be concrete.

Eric Ritson    November 7, 2020 at 2:39am

Keith Mooney has cancelled for tomorrow. Please replace. Thank you

Jason Clemons    November 6, 2020 at 9:00pm

Got in off waiting list but don't have a place to pay on here. What is your PayPal to send entry?

Larry Bright Jr.    November 6, 2020 at 6:38pm

Tony Gede and Nick Higginbotham...you will need to be moved up to MA3 based on your ratings. You will each owe $10 tomorrow to be eligible to play to cover the cost difference between divisions. The cut off for MA4 is <850.

Thanks.

Rob Panelley    November 6, 2020 at 6:28pm

Please put me on the wait list. Based on the current wait list, if 3 "volunteers" want to drop out by the end of the day, see y'all tomorrow..
