Good afternoon and thank you for registering for the 8th event of the 2022 Fly Guy NC Amateur Tour!
There will be NO player meeting before the event. This serves as the player meeting. READ IT CAREFULLY AS IT DETAILS RULES OF PLAY.
READ THIS EMAIL CLOSELY - EVEN IF YOU HAVE PLAYED OTHER TOUR STOPS - AS THE ROUTINE AND SCHEDULE IS DIFFERENT THAN MY USUAL SET UP.
Forecast from Google looks WONDERFUL – High of 82, only 53% humidity and a 4 mph wind. Of course, its NC, so be prepared for anything.
This year the tour will crown Point Series Champions in MA1, MA40, MA50, FA1, MA2, FA2, MA3, FA3, MJ18- and MJ12-. There will not be a points series champion for the Novice or Open divisions. You must complete 3 events minimum to qualify for any points series prizes.
Now, the event :
Registration is CLOSED. Except in cases I have already made arrangements for, I will not enroll anyone else at this time. (Registration was open approx. 45 days).
Drop requests after this email will be removed, but not refunded.
THIS IS A SMALL GROUP EVENT SO THE REGISTRATION TIME WILL BE SHORTENED TO 30 MINUTES. Make sure you are on time to register. I will also be playing, so I won’t be there to sign you in last minute.
8:15:- We will begin registration. Tournament Central will be under the DD Tent..
You will need to follow any applicable COVID / Social distance guidelines while around the Tournament Central .
Player Pack items will be given at this time.
Again - Except for specific individuals I have already spoken to, I will not accept any day of registration.
We will close check in at 8:45 sharp. Players not checked in will be dropped with no refund given.
We will call two minutes at 8:58. Start will be called at 9:00.
The woods are thick so be sure to "pass it along" when you hear it.
This is a shotgun start.
Your starting hole will be tentatively posted by noon today (8/12/2022) BUT MAY UPDATE BEFORE THE EVENT STARTS, It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to verify your starting hole, and to arrive at it accordingly.
You should verify that no change has taken place tournament morning at 8:50 at the very least.
This is a small field - expect the cards to be spread out and for the event to play faster than larger events.
If one person does not arrive for a foursome or fivesome, a threesome may proceed. NO TWOSOMES are allowed in a PDGA event.
Refer to the competition Handbook for how to resolve this situation.
The event info, including starting hole assignments , is located at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/62470.
OBS - OBs and Mandos - Fun Rounds - only OBS are - surrounded by water, paved surfaces, park equipment such as playgrounds, shelters, etc, any property line marked fences.
Mandos - If displayed on the course, the mando is in effect. If it marked on a sign but not physically on the course, it is not in effect.
This is a public property, and you are expected to respect the community's investment of work, love and money and not litter, deface, damage or otherwise negatively impact the property.
"No Negative Vibes''.
As this IS a public park property, for the duration of this event, the No Alcohol/ Substances rules ARE in effect.
Format -
Singles stroke play.
Sliding scale payout , from Trophy Only for Novice, and incremental increases as divisions climb.
There ARE Trophies for all divisions and were ordered based on registration as of 08/08/2022 .
Scoring -
It is our desire that every card uses the PDGA live scoring system. This is NOT the PDGA App.
You access it by going to PDGA.com/SCORES .
You will then enter event code: hickory.
All cards should keep a second card for score verification.
DO NOT FORGET - You MUST confirm your scores in the Live Scoring system at the end of your round before leaving the tournament area.
LAYOUTS: We will be playing 18 holes per round. Notice that this is 1 thru 16, 23 and 24.
ALL DIVISIONS, will play the same layouts BOTH ROUNDS

Meal break will be 1 hour from the last confirmed card. Please make yourself familiar with the area before the event to save time.
Round two tee time will be announced in the park and posted to the Fly Guy Disc Golf Am Tour Facebook page. Starting holes will be posted to the PDGA results page.
Payout is a day of use voucher for those who qualify. If you leave and do not claim your voucher the day of the event it is forfeit.
So that should be about it - we're going to have LOTS OF FUN, and I know I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
Last thing - This is a PDGA event. That means PDGA competition rules of play, as well as code of conduct.
If it doesn't belong in the park, leave it at home. Likewise, do not put me in the position to choose a player versus maintaining good relationships with the parks system - I'll sacrifice the player for bad conduct every time. A lot of work and cooperation goes into these facilities - and we cannot represent both the sport and the community in an ill light by breaking park rules and/or violating code of conduct protocols. Be familiar with the rules, and follow them. "I didn't know" is not an acceptable excuse.
See you tournament morning
