Raffle and Fundraiser

The church, and its congregation, have blessed this area with an amazing disc golf course. This tournament is a chance to thank the church for all they have done to grow the sport. A portion of each entry fee, along with 100% of raffle ticket purchases, will be given to Johnson United Methodist Church to assist in their annual Mission Trip for youths and adults.

To encourage players to attend the wrap-up party, we will be having a silent raffle to win one of several prizes at the wrap-up party. Everyone who is registered for the tournament will receive ONE free ticket. We will have additional tickets for sale at Tournament Central during check-in with 100% of the proceeds from these tickets being given to the Johnson UMC Mission Trip Fundraiser.

YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN. Tickets will be $1 each, or 6 for $5. No more than 6 tickets may be purchased by one person. Only one prize per person. A 6-pack of tickets may be purchased during registration. Individual and 6-pack of tickets may be purchased on the day of the tournament with cash.

Waitlist

Teams may sign up for the Waitlist with no payment due. As with every tournament, a portion of the current registered players will drop prior to the tournament; roughly 15-20% due to whatever life stuff comes up. When this happens, a new team (#1 & #2 Waitlist spots) will be moved in and given 48 hours to make payment (and the dropped team will receive a refund minus DGS fees). This continues until registration closes.

Registration closes on March 16th at 11:59pm. All Waitlisted players can choose to drop or hang on a few more days and see if there are any last-minute drops until March 21st at 11:59pm. If there are no players on the Waitlist after March 5th, teams that drop will receive their Players Pack in lieu of a refund.

After March 21st, if any Waitlisted players remain, they will be removed. Anyone who drops after registration closes can pick up their Players Pack at Play It Again Sports -Cuyahoga Falls or Johnson DGC if applicable.
