Parking on Saturday will be a challenge as a fall festival is happening that day as well and we want no one parking in the normal lot by holes 4/5.

(MPO/MP50/MA1) can park on grass in field right by normal tee of hole 5 as we are not using that tee

(FA1/FPO/MA50/MA40) can park in lot by hole 1

(MA2/MA3) can park on road near tee of hole 16

Once those three areas are full the last few cars can park in the lot all the way by the entrance of the park.

We should have people out to guide you.

Players,

All players must sign in before 8:30am. Tentative starting holes have been posted at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/63179

There will be a short in person players meeting at 8:30am.

Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.

Amateur players pack is $13 to $15 disc which you choose from a table as you sign in. (Envy, Proxy, Nomad, Spin, Anode, Ion, Atom, Marvel, F2/Factory Second/Event Stamped/Club stamped/Misprint). Pick up your players pack before round one.

In the morning check again your starting hole to confirm nothing has changed. Changes should be very unlikely and only if absolutely needed.

Some cards may have 3 people; if it is time to start and you only have 1 or 2 people you cannot start; wait where you are for the next group and play with them keeping scores separate. The person who does not show up gets par plus four for every hole they miss.

Each card must have two people keeping score. One person must keep score via the PDGA website and another person any other way you want. Udisc is a common way for the second person to keep score.

We have set up layouts on the PDGA site. PDGA.comscores code Upshot

All tee pads will be greatly expanded with four small flags like years past.

For OB rulings, group decision is needed. If you can’t decide, give the benefit to the player; when in doubt play a provisional. Player must declare loudly they are playing a provisional.
Keep an eye on where you land. You only get 3 minutes to search for your disc before it is officially lost.

No two-meter rule; no special island rules. Everything is standard PDGA rules.

Bring plenty of water; and this may be a good time for this year to wear sunscreen & bug spray.

Projected payouts can be found at https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/manager/payouts_projected?TournID=63179 The exact numbers will change but this will give you an idea of what to expect; if people drop from your division, then the payout will be less.

The B.S. Bochantin Upshot store will be open during the event all day. We accept venmo, paypal & cash

For those swapping their unwanted plastic, give us your discs before round 1. We will value them as you play, and you will receive a scrip card for the value to use when you finish the round. We are not accepting any swaps after you finish round 1. Due to a massive influx of used Innova discs please expect $1 for Shark, Leopard, Teebird, Beast, Wraith, Katana & Groove.

For any first-place tie breaker playoffs, start hole 1 or hole 10 and continue all holes doing longest basket/tees.

For Ace Pot/Side Game we will be doing a CTP (Closest to Pin) after round 2. Players who have paid in are eligible. Closest will win any one item of choice from store.
Be prepared to start the second round 45 minutes after you finalize scores after your first round.

All standard course OB and rules apply.

Tip your TD as Venmo @BSUpshot or paypal [email redacted] if you so desire.

Is there a certain date that all of the basket locations will be set for the tournament? This is my first tournament, would love to be able to play the tournament basket positions a couple of times before Nov 5 if possible.

Is there any chance an MA3 division will be added?
