Players,
The 2024 NADGT: Cee-Time @ KJ Memorial Park is tomorrow!
Schedule:
9:30-10:15am - Check-in
10:30am - Shotgun Start (no need to wait for a horn, just start right at 10:30)
12:30pm - Awards (immediately after round)
Ace Pot: There will be an optional $5 ace pot at this event. We will accept cash, Paypal, or Venmo at check-in for any players who are interested. If no aces are hit, the money will roll into the DGONWA Ace Pot.
Water: Players are encouraged to bring plenty of water for themselves, but there will be some water available at the course, too. We are planning on providing hot water and hot cocoa packets, so feel free to use your new players pack bottles!
Players Meeting: This email will serve as the official players meeting, and TDs will be available to answer any questions on the day of the event.
Check-in will begin at 9:30am at Tournament Central (Springdale Tennis tent). All players must check in.
Hole Assignments: Starting hole assignments are posted to the PDGA event page, which can be found at
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/76513. Starting assignments may change slightly if there are any last-minute changes to registration, so make sure to double-check on the morning of the event.
Parking/Course Address: KJ Memorial Park, 307 Bellview St, Lowell, AR 72745
OB Sheets will be available digitally. They are loaded into the PDGA digital scorecard.
Scoring: All players will now be required to keep score for the whole group. This ensures an even distribution of scoring duties and maximizes scoring integrity. It also limits scoring penalties to the player who submitted the incorrect scorecard.
Each player must keep an independent scorecard recording scores after each hole for the entire group. A player who refuses to keep a score WILL be subject to disqualification.
Players may delegate scorekeeping duties only to their designated caddie.
Each player records the score for every player in the group in a manner that makes each score clear to every player in the group. Any warnings or penalty throws are to be noted along with the score for the hole. All players are responsible for reconciling and submitting their copy of the scorecard within 30 minutes of when their group finishes their round. A player who has not submitted their scorecard on time receives two penalty throws.
If a player submits any scorecard where their total score or hole scores are incorrect, improperly recorded, or missing, two penalty throws are added to the correct total score. Those penalty throws are not added when the score has been adjusted for other violations determined after the player has submitted an otherwise correct scorecard.
A player is not penalized if another member of their group submits an incorrect scorecard.
We will not use physical paper scorecards as the official scoring outlet for PDGA events unless cellular service is not strong enough. Physical scorecards will be utilized as a backup. As of 2024, all players in each group must keep their own score and the scores of anyone in their group according to PDGA rules. To review this method and familiarize yourself with the process, please follow this link:

To start your round with digital scoring you will need to go to the following link:
www.pdga.com/score. You may also download the PDGA LIVE app to your phone.
The PDGA Live code for this event will be KJM
Paper scorecards will be available anytime at Tournament Central for people to pick up as a backup scorecard for easier group verification. Players are encouraged to keep as many backups as they need to make the scoring process easier to avoid miscalculations resulting in penalty strokes.
Awards: This is a trophy-only event. Division winners will receive a Trophy Pin - Provided by Disc Golf Pins. Winners of qualifying divisions will earn an invitation to the National Championships in Austin, TX the first week in November. Awards will be presented immediately following the conclusion of the round.
Ties for first place in any division will be broken with sudden-death play involving the players affected by the tie. Sudden-death play will begin on hole one unless otherwise stated by the Tournament Director once the tie is official. If a tied competitor leaves an event before sudden-death play, they forfeit the chance to compete for a first-place finish and automatically assume a second-place finish. In the event the tournament is called due to dangerous conditions, first-place ties will not be broken and all competitors currently tied for first place will be considered co-champions assuming there is no option to continue/complete play.
Let us know if you have any questions. Look forward to seeing everyone on the course!

Im confused about the Ties. It says in the description for the event that ties will apply if there are 6+ people in the division. This does still apply, right?
