Rules and Guidelines
Teams consist of 2 players, drawn randomly. In the event that an odd number of players enter, the odd player playing will be given the option to play either one shot at a time or by paying twice the initial entry fee to receive 2 throws from every lie. Otherwise, the person receives 1 extra throw per hole - "Cali" rules.
In the event of an odd grouping and to help promote speed of play there may be more than one Cali player for the night, at TD discretion.
If a partner has to leave at any point prior to the end of play, regulation or playoff, the remaining player receives 1 extra throw per hole to use as they will.
Format is favorite disc, stroke play event. This means that a player may play from any of the teams shots, regardless if the teammate chooses the same lie.
Official PDGA rules are observed, as well as those of Seneca Creek/Cedar Farms (O.B., Mandos and Two Meter Rule)
Layout is at the discretion of the TD and will be announced before random draw.
Payout
10 players or fewer = winning team takes all entry fee money.
11-15 players = 2nd place team wins back their entry fees, 1st place takes remaining entry fees.
16+ players = 3rd place wins back their entry fees, 2nd place wins twice their entry fees, 1st place takes remaining entry fees.
Ties that impact payout will be resolved by playoff at the discretion of the Tournament Director.
Ace Pot
In the event of an ace, 75% percent of the existing pot is paid out. Multiple aces evenly split that days 75% payout. The remaining 25% not paid when an ace is made becomes next weeks pot. If no ace is hit, the pot continues to carry over. Only aces made in regulation play pay out.
CTP (Closest to Pin)
After teams are drawn, the tournament director will randomly draw 1 hole for the CTP contest. The first team that will reach that hole will be provided a flag to mark the closest drive from tee pad to the pin.
A player that becomes CTP should record their name on the flag and move it to the spot of their disc. They must also record their name on the scorecard, in the event the CTP flag is removed.
The last group of the day to play the CTP hole should bring the flag in with them to give to the tournament director.
Winner takes all of that days CTP contest entry money.
Points
Each player starts with 5 points per event. Additional points are added or subtracted based on the Teams strokes above or below the event average, rounded to the nearest .5.
Five bonus points are awarded for first place.
Ten bonus points are awarded to any player (individual) who gets an ace.
At least one point will be awarded to all who play.
The STANDARD FSD points system:
Each player starts each event with 5 points. When the round is finished the TD will average all scores to the nearest .5. If a player's score is lower than the average the difference is added to that players score. So, if the average score for all teams is 56 and a player threw a 53 then 3 points would be added to his/her score giving him 8 points for that event. Vice versa if the average is 56 and a player threw 59 then 3 points would be subtracted giving him/her 2 points. All players get at least 1 point. Bonus points go to the winners (+5) and to anyone who throws an ace (+10). In any given FSD league event (beginning with this rules clarification on 4/8/17), if two or more teams tie for the win, and the win cannot be decided by a playoff, the winning teams will split the first place points evenly among the teams.
2 tie - 2.5 pts per team
3 tie - 1.5 pts per team
4 tie - 1.25 pts per team
5 tie - 1 pt per team
Payout, and any playoff for 2nd, 3rd place, etc., as that does not affect League points, is up to the discretion of the event TD.

Finale
At the end of the season, we will invite the top 8 players from each FSD Division and they will compete in the Freestate Doubles Championship, Champions Division. Anyone who doesn't make it into the Champions Division, will be welcome to compete at the Finale in the Field Division and can substitute in the final ranked division to represent any league where they played in more than 5 individual weeks.
Finale set up:
The top 4 from each league will flip for a same league partner. If a top 4 contender is not available, the next highest ranked player can substitute. #5-#8 (and the next highest if required) will flip for partners. Any substitutes must be the next highest ranked player on site and must have played in at least 5 weekly events. With this system each league will have 4 teams each representing them.
Additional information regarding the FSD Finale may be posted at a later date. You can follow "Maryland Freestate Doubles League" on Facebook.
