Good Shootin' at the 2nd annual "Break the Chains" disc golf tournament! Thanks for coming out!

Again, thanks to everyone who helped set-up, take down, prize out, etc... And thanks to all of you who brought baskets!

Sorry about the confusion with the prizes! We were just trying to rush too much to get you all on your way home. I think we got it all straightened out though.

Anyway... Scores are posted...

Kev- Let me know if you need any help today as I'll be available most of the day. my phone number is on my profile.

Currently, the weather situation looks reasonably good for our tournament according to Accuweather, Wunderground, and The Weather Channel, with the greatest possibility for storms coming in the very early morning before the tournament, and after 6pm or so when the tournament is finished.

Riley County has 7 surrounding counties. If we include all of them, then there is a good likelihood that we won't spend much time playing. We will have a Weather Radio at tournament central. Our volunteers will be monitoring the situation throughout the day. If there is a tornado in a nearby county heading our way, I am sure that the National Weather Service will quickly issue a Tornado Warning for Riley County if they have not already done so.

If there is a tornado in a nearby county heading our way, I am sure that the National Weather Service will quickly issue a Tornado Warning for Riley County if they have not already done so. However, safety is our first concern, and we will likely err on the side of caution if there is a judgement call regarding developing weather in nearby counties.

Does is just have to be a waring in Riley or if there is Tornado waring in one of the surrounding counties will the horn blown then also?

Weather policy....

There may be severe weather for the tournament on Saturday. Here's how we will handle it:

If there is a Severe Weather (Thunderstorm or Tornado) WARNING (not a Watch) during the tournament, we will blow an air-horn to halt the tournament. Play will resume when the Warning expires.

If we are unable to resume play in a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the Tournament Director, then we will do one of the following:

If there is a Severe Weather (Thunderstorm or Tornado) WARNING (not a Watch) during the tournament, we will blow an air-horn to halt the tournament. Play will resume when the Warning expires.

If we are unable to resume play in a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the Tournament Director, then we will do one of the following:

If all players have completed at least one full round of 18 holes, then we will award prizes based on the first round only--no holes from second round will be counted.

If all players have NOT completed at least one round of 18 holes, we will re-schedule the tournament for the following Saturday, April 21st. Those unable to play the following Saturday have the option of returning their players package--tournament disc and mini for a full refund, or they may keep these items for the cost of entry.

If we are NOT under a WARNING, then the tournament goes on. Players have the option during a heavy downpour to halt play on their own for a short period of time (5-15 minutes) and resume when the rain becomes less severe. However, longer stoppages are not allowed unless the Tournament Director blows the air-horn to stop the tournament.

If play is halted in the middle of a round, players may leave their discs on the ground, or mark their lie with a natural object, such as a stick or a rock, so that they may determine where to throw from when the play resumes.

I'd suggest bringing an umbrella, extra towels, and a rain suit. "No Rain" dances are also permitted.
