About this tournament

UPDATED INFO:

4 x 9 Relay participants,
We are really excited to have you join us tomorrow for this unique disc golf tournament!
A few important things:

1. First & second round course & hole assignments are posted at: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/43711 All players will play with the same groups for the 1st and 2nd rounds.
Please note that you are either listed as:1st - New Life, 2nd Derek Riley's OR 1st - Derek Riley's, 2nd New Life
If New Life is listed first, that is where you will tee off at 8:15AM tomorrow morning. If Derek Riley's is listed first, that is where you will tee off first at 8:15AM tomorrow morning.
Note: We have bumped our start back to 8:15AM from 8AM

2. Player Check-in will ONLY be at New Life Christian Church from 7:00AM to 7:45AM. Every player should go to New Life to check-in first. Once you have checked in and received your course maps and player pack, you will either stay at New Life if that is where your first round is, or go to Derek Riley's Private Course, which is 1 mile down the road.
Two minute warning will sound at 8:13AM. Start horn will sound at 8:15AM.
We are going to move the start of our second round up to 10:00. With the first two courses so close to each other, we can eliminate some down time between rounds 1 & 2.
The start time for round 3 will still be 1PM. The two minute warning will sound at 12:58PM and the start horn at 1PM. Course and hole assignments will be posted on the same PDGA page where the first round hole and course assignments are posted:  https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/43711 If you played Derek Riley's course followed by New Life for rounds 1 & 2, you will play Flint Hills followed by Hammond. If you played New Life first in the morning, you will play Hammond first followed by FHTC.All players will play with the same groups for the 3rd and 4th rounds.

4. Digital Scorecards
We will be using the PDGA digital scoring platform for scoring during the round in lieu of paper scorecards. At least one player from each group will need to use their smart phone to take score. For detailed information on how the PDGA digital scorecard works, please click here: https://www.pdga.com/help/tournament-management/official-hole-scoring 

The ACCESS CODE for the event scoring is 4BY9. It is not case sensitive. To start your round with digital scoring you will need to go to the following link: www.pdga.com/score.

·       You will be prompted to enter the Access Code and press the Submit button.

·       Search for your name. You can search by typing in part of your name or PDGA Number. Once your name appears, you select it and confirm. This person is now the “scorekeeper”.

·       You will be prompted to select the round for which you are currently playing.

·       The scoring screen will load with your name. The default starting hole is hole 1, so be sure to choose the correct starting hole if for some reason hole 1 is not where the group is starting (e.g. shotgun start).

·       Scores for each player will be automatically defaulted to whatever the par is for the hole that is being scored. The player can use the plus or minus buttons to add or remove strokes. When all players have the correct scores, clicking Save & Continue will upload the scores and the page will automatically reload on the hole that follows.

·       The teeing order is indicated by a number presented to the left of each player's name.

Please make sure you review the link provided to familiarize yourself with the PDGA digital scorecard. As a competitor you are responsible for knowing the competition rules of disc golf for a better player experience.
IMPORTANT: You will use the same digital scorecard for rounds 1 & 2. You will use the same digital scorecard for rounds 3 & 4. Rounds 1 & 2 will be referred to as Round 1 on the digital scorecard. Rounds 3 & 4 will be referred to as Round 2 on the digital scorecard. Whoever is keeping score on your card will simply leave the scoring app on between rounds 1 & 2 and between rounds 3 & 4. If you start on Hole 3 for the first half of the round - scores should be placed on holes 3 - 11. You will also start your second round on hole 3. For the digital scorecard you will use holes 12 - 2 on the scorecard. Do not finalize/confirm the digital scorecard as a group until both 9-hole rounds are completed.

5. Amateur Payout and Trophies will be available for pick-up at the Dynamic Discs retail store immediately after the conclusion of Round 4. (912 Commercial Street). Pro Payout will be via PayPal. Pro trophies will also be at the retail store.
