About this tournament
Welcome to the 2025 Blackjack Open!
As is the case every year, the Blackjack Open is perhaps the most high stakes tournament all year for the state of Ohio. This is our final year as a B-Tier, so we're treating this like an A-Tier in preparation for the jump in 2026.
At an absolute minimum, pro divisions will be playing for $7,500 in added cash with a high chance that number will grow. Am divisions will also be playing for higher payouts thanks to our new customizable player's pack system.
All am competitors will receive an official tournament t-shirt. Everything else in the player's pack is totally up to you. For just a little extra money, you can add a high quality golf towel, 3 premium Discraft discs and even a custom made Blackjack Open drinking glass. All items priced well below their MSRP. This will unchain entry fees from going to items that most competitors may not want and slide them directly into payout.
Pros will play all 3 rounds at Paint Creek. Higher am divisions will be playing the OU Chillicothe course on Saturday and lower am divisions will be playing the returning Pike Lake on Sunday. All competitors will be playing 2 shotgun start rounds on Saturday and then playing 1 tee timed round at Paint Creek on Sunday.
If you require lodging, there is a very nice campground right next to the Paint Creek course that just started taking reservations for the weekend of the tournament. Full details in the link below:

More details on sponsors/scheduling/payout/etc will come in the following weeks. Love you all.
