About this tournament

This is a 1 Day 2 round C-tier at the North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights, MN.

Division sizes may be adjusted to fit registration demands.

The plan is for everyone to play the Blue layout (Long tees to long baskets) except some division will play the red tees for holes 11 and 14. MPO, MP40, MP50, MA1, and MA2 will play the full Blue Layout. Everyone else will use the red tees on holes 11 and 14.

There is an Optional $2 ace pool that can be selected when you sign up. This will be a singular ace pool even if divisions are playing different layouts. If no ace is hit by a player signed up for the ace pool then the ace pool will carry over to the next event. If there is any ace pool after the final event of the year then the ace pool will be added into the Amateur Season Points Series payouts.

Tournament Payouts will be available on site or at Gray Duck Disc Golf and will expire on 12/31/23. Amateur divisions will be paid in merchandise credit, and Pro division will be paid cash or through PayPal.

Estimated Per Player Pass Through Fees:
$3 - PDGA

This tournament is part of the Gray Duck Tour Series and includes series payouts for at the end of the season for the MA1-MA4 Divisions. Here is the structure:

$1 of every MA1-MA4 entry goes into a prize pool for each respective division for year end tour series payouts.

Event Points Calculation:
1st = 100 + (0.1 x players in division)
Everyone Else = 100 - ((place-1) * 30) / players in division

Total Season Points will be equal to the Top 6 events for each player in a division.

After the final event of the year the Prize pool value for each division will be equal to the total number of players that played in that division for each event combined.
The top 5% of each division's season points leaders (up to 10 total players) will be paid out.
