PBDGC Virtual League Rules:
1. This league will be a Singles league, with A and B pools. Pool clarifications are posted at the bottom of this sheet. All 4 of the main Palm Beach County courses will be used (PGA, Okeeheelee, Commons, and Delray) with 1 round played at each course during the league. The league schedule will also be at the bottom of this sheet. League results will be tracked on discgolfscene.com and updates will be posted on the Facebook page. This league is open to any players who are interested.
2. Weekly entry will be $6 per week, with $5 of entries going to payouts and $1 to the club. You do not have to play each week. Entry fees will only be accepted through Paypal, and weekly payouts will also be managed the same. In the instance that somebody doesn't have PayPal, they will need to have somebody cover their entry and/or receive their payouts. No cash will be accepted. This will be done to avoid any exchange of cash to individuals and make managing payouts much easier with it being a "virtual" league.
3. Rounds will be played in a 4 day window, with league running Thursday through Sunday each week to allow flexibility with everyone's schedules and personal lives. Only one round's score will be accepted. Rounds will have to be played with at least one other person and no more than 4 total players. Payment will have to be sent BEFORE YOU WILL PLAY YOUR ROUND, with also a posting of the scheduled round (including individuals playing and the pools they are playing) on the Facebook page. This will avoid people playing multiple rounds over multiple days and posting their "best" score. I suggest paying and posting your scheduled round right before you head to the course or at the course before you start your round. Scores will have to be submitted with a LEGIBLE photo of the scorecard that will need to be sent to me via text or by message on Facebook. This will need to be done within 4 hours of the scheduled round. These steps need to be in place to keep things fair for all. Posts can be made on the league pages to help find people who can play together if needed. This is one reason the league window is 4 days. This will help give people a good chance to participate each week.
4. Scores and League results will be tracked on discgolfscene.com. All scores will not be posted until after all league rounds are completed. Posting scores may deter some people from playing. We don't want people to go in knowing the "hot" round scores. Scores will be posted by Tuesday evening, and payouts will follow once scores are posted. Payouts will go to the top 1/3 of each division, and a standard payout scale will be posted to keep it consistent week to week.
5. In case of ties, tiebreakers will be in place and are listed below:
a. most aces during round
b. most birdies during round
c. least double or triple (or higher) bogeys during round
d. least bogeys during round
e. if the above tiebreakers aren't sufficient, it will be determined a tie and payout would be split
6. There will be no Ace Fund or Daily Cash CTPs. There is no way to manage this using this format.
7. The League schedule is as follows:
Week 1 (June 25-28) -- PGA National (A pool - 18 hole pad layout; B pool - 20 hole Tiki layout)
Week 2 (July 2-5) -- Okeeheelee (A pool - White layout to white baskets; B pool - Red "hybrid" Layout to red baskets)

Week 4 (July 16-19) -- West Delray (A pool - Longs to orange basket; B pool - Shorts to orange basket)
* OBs are the same as those used during league rounds.
8. Pool Clarifications:
A Pool -- Averages an under par round at each course. Using PDGA standards, this should be any player who plays Advanced or Open and some Intermediate players (920 + rated).
B Pool -- Averages over par during a round at each course. Using PDGA standards, this should be any player who plays Recreational or Intermediate.
**If there is enough interest, a C pool can be added
9. Covid Considerations:
- No more than 4 people per card and no congregating before or after each round
- Maintain 6 feet of distance from each player and wear a mask whenever possible
- Do not pick up each others discs
- Use hand sanitizer/wash hands frequently
- There will be rangers monitoring to ensure guidelines are followed, if there are too many reports of defiance, the league will be shut down
Paypal address for weekly entry: [email redacted] (USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY ONLY TO AVOID FEES!!!!!)
Be sure to follow all the league rules for weekly entry, scheduling of rounds, and scorecard submission, otherwise your round will be excluded. All of these things are in place to keep it fair for all individuals.
