The Midland Open MDGO Gold Event powered by Discraft Day 1 (MA1, MA3, FA 1-4, AM40+, Juniors)

PDGA Sanctioned B-Tier
Hello and welcome to the Midland Open.

First of all Thank you for 26 years of support.

We appreciate every one of you and helping us keep the tradition alive of retaining one of the longest running MDGO feature events in the state.

Since this tournament is a 2024 State Feature Gold Event, there are a total of 24 state championship berths available (12 each day).

Berths will be awarded to any amateur division that has 3 or more competitors. The remaining berths will be distributed among the amateur divisions based on participation.

These berths are awarded for winning your division. If the winner of the division already has a state berth, the berth will be moved down to the next place competitor. These berths are your ticket to be able to register into the Michigan Amateur Disc Golf State Championships. The berths cannot be returned, exchanged, or shared.

This is a PDGA B Tier event, so a PDGA player identification number is required to register.

The event is sponsored by Discraft, and all amateur payouts will be in Discraft Plastic.

2 rounds at Chippewa Banks with an hour lunch break after last card finishes round 1.

We will be utilizing PDGA Live Scoring. The Live Scoring code will be posted at check in and announced during the Player’s Meeting. Your hole assignments for both rounds will be listed in the Live Scoring system as well as at the check in table. We will have paper score cards and pencils available.

REMINDER: Starting in 2024, all players MUST keep score according to the updated PDGA rule.

$5 Ace Pool (optional buy-in)

$5 50/50 CTP (optional buy-in)

Trophies

If no ace is hit there will be a Ace Pool CTP.

** If no players are signed up in a division 1 week prior to the tournament there will not be a trophy for that division

As always there will be drink stations, marking whiskers, brooms, and CTPs provided by our Sponsors for everyone.
