Hi everyone, thanks for coming out for the Oakwood Fall Championship. Below is everything that you should need to know for the event.
First, I want to make everyone aware that I will not be there in the morning to kick off the event. I am coaching a grade school disc golf team this fall and they have their first meet in the morning. So I will be attending that in the morning and I am hoping to be back in time to kick off the second round. Tucker Johnson will be serving as the Assistant TD for this event and he will take care of everything I would normally handle in the morning, so everything will still run as smoothly as always.
There will be a quick players meeting at 8:45 at the shelter to answer questions and review any necessary rules. Please be aware of the new rule changes for this year (https://www.pdga.com/news/pdga-official-rules-disc-golf-and-competition-manual-updated-2024) We will tee off at 9:00. You do not need to check in, and there is no player's pack.
The storefront (across the street) will serve as tournament central. Tucker will be at the store from 8:00-8:40 in case anyone needs anything before the event and he will come over to the course for the players meeting at 8:45. Final Payouts will be available within the shop at the end of the day, or you can redeem or collect your payout at a later date. All merchandise credit earned will expire one year after it is earned.
Every player will be required to keep score for everyone on their card this year according to the PDGA rules. Please take a few minutes to read this short PDGA article on scorekeeping: https://www.pdga.com/news/how-score-2024-player-td-guidance?fbclid=IwAR2w9q5YQbytBKoJblOjw2JlhyxtIqEYsv-AwXDTgiNS_xkckvxf9JTLBQU
Players must either use the PDGA digital scoring at pdga.com/score (or on the PDGA app) or use a paper scorecard. All digital scorecards need to be submitted and all paper scorecards will need to be turned in at the store within 30 minutes from when you finish your round. Please review all scorecards within your group before submitting or turning in your scorecard. If you are keeping a paper scorecard you must mark it as yours by putting a mark by your name on the card or adding your name on the back of the card. Any invalid scores or late scorecards will be given a 2 stroke penalty for the scorekeeper. It is much preferred that players use the digital scoring rather than a paper scorecard (but paper cards will be available) as it will make the second round start faster and the end of day payouts will be ready much faster. The digital access code is oakwood.
Hole assignments will be posted in the morning on the event page (https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/82312).
The second round will start one hour from when the last card to finish is complete with their first round. The second round start time and your starting holes will be posted on the PDGA results page https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/82312 shortly after everyone has finished their first round and all scorecards have been submitted. If you are ready to tee off one hour from when you finished, you won't be late. There will not be players meeting before the second round. You can also follow the Facebook event page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/426231610187235
Please check scores after you are finished with your second round. Any ties for first place in a division will need to have a playoff. Players tied for first will start a sudden-death playoff on hole 1 and will alternate who starts on each hole until there is a winner.

Ace Pool:
We are using an Optional $2 Ace Pool this season. If no one that pays into the ace pool for the event gets an ace, then the ace pool will carry over to the next event. There is one combined ace pool regardless if there are multiple layouts being used. If you are not sure if you signed up for the ace pool you should be able to check the email you received when you registered. If there are no aces in the final event of the season the ace pool will be added into the Gray Duck Tour Series payouts. There is $70 carrying over in the ace pool from the last event.
Gray Duck Tour Series
This year including a season points series for the Mixed Amateur divisions. Here is the structure:
$1 of every MA1, MA2, MA3, and MA4 entry goes to season payouts for the division that the player played in.
Event Points Calculation:
1st = 100 + (0.1 x players in division)
Everyone Else = 100 - ((place-1) * 30) / players in division
Total Season Points will be equal to the Top 7 events for each player in a division.
After the final event of the year the Prize pool value for each division will be equal to the total number of players that played in that division for each event combined.
The top 5% of each division's season points leaders (up to 10 players total) will be paid out in merchandise credit after the last event of the season.
Payouts for the Open division will be available in cash at the end of the day or via PayPal or Venmo. If you choose PayPal or Venmo, please make sure to provide any necessary information of where you would like the payout sent. If you want to get cash after the event you may cut to the front of the checkout line as I will have envelopes ready to go.
Payouts for AMs will be available at Gray Duck Disc Golf across from Oakwood Park at the end of the day. Once everyone is finished with the second round, payouts will be posted on the disc golf scene event page https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Oakwood_Fall_Chamionship_2024. After payouts are posted you can redeem your credit in the store. All merchandise credit earned will expire one year after it is earned. The payouts should also show up in the PDGA Scoring app as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
