Pre-registration will open back up at 7:00pm on Monday, June 8th for the Hoosier Hoser in Fort Wayne. Our parks dept asked me to let them know what precautions we plan on taking for the re-scheduled and re-located Hoosier Hoser Tournament. The tournament is now scheduled for Saturday, August 8th at West & East Swinney Park. Tourney central will be at West Swinney.
-Re-located the tournament to East & West Swinney to limit interactions between players and other park patrons.
-We are not offering "day of" walk up registration. Players will pre-register to get into this event. This will limit the exchange of money and line length to check in that day.
-We will pay out a smaller % of teams than normal. For example, we usually "cash out" around 40-45% of the Amateurs in the Recreational division. This year we will cash out 25-30% to limit the number of players gathering merchandise as their "payouts". We will still pay do 100% payout, just less spots will "cash". Those spots that cash will "cash" for more.
-We are capping the pre-registration at 230 players or else we could have 300+ show up.
-This event is known for it's generosity with having a CTP prize on every hole in the tournament. This year we will make each CTP "hole specific" rather than the melee that generally ensues when people select their CTP prizes.
-Extra holes will be added at East & West to help to spread out the competitors.
-We plan on limiting the number of people in the tent to purchase merchandise as well as during cash-outs.
-We also plan on attempting to have ONLY tournament staff handle the merchandise. Staff will help competitors find what they are looking for instead.
-We may try to add some type of online scoring, such as UDisc to limit scorecards being handled. -Looking into how we could possibly do a "virtual check in" as an option.
-Rather than our normal large water coolers, we will likely look into bottled waters on the course.
