BIG APRIL FOOLS DOUBLES INFO EMAIL!

--Some of this information will be a repeat of what we've sent before. But several things have changed and there is A LOT of new information so please read everything.--



TIME AND PLACE:

Sunday, July 5th at Willamette Park in Corvallis, 9:30 AM.



TOURNAMENT ORGANIZATION:

-There will be no players meetings before or after.

-The tournament will consist of ONE round of 21 holes with added special features.

-It will be a SHOTGUN START at 9:30 AM, meaning that a group will start (and end) simultaneously at each hole. PLEASE arrive early enough to locate your hole and be ready to play at 9:30. Hole assignments are provided in this email (see below) and will also be posted on Facebook and the Disc Golf Scene page.

-Score cards will be provided to each group. There will be a drop box for score/CTP cards at the info booth near Hole 1. Scores can also be texted to Scott (541-908-6958) if all players agree on card.

-Hole instructions are on the tee signs, so read the tee signs!!!

We are playing a best disc round unless otherwise stated on the tee signs. Each team group will play for two CTP prizes, one at the hole designated by the CTP sign that has your team's name on it, and one on your group's last hole. Cards will be provided to put in a drop box at the info booth, but you can also take a picture of the CTP card with winner's name and text to Scott at 541-908-6958.

There is a basket up for grabs again this year as well as a $100 ace pot. The basket is available on Hole 3 only, but the $100 is on any other hole. An eagle wins $50. Payout for pro divisions will be via Paypal. AM divisions will get prizes.

Everyone is eligible for the basket, but only those who paid in to the ace pot are eligible for the $100. If you want in, send $1.00 via Paypal [email redacted].

-When your last hole is finished being played, the tournament is over. Following the tournament, there will be an awards ceremony off site (see details below.)



COVID RULES:

The tournament has been approved by City of Corvallis Parks & Rec, ON CONDITION that we practice social distancing at the course before, while, and after playing. In order to do so, it has been necessary to run this differently from how disc golf tournaments are usually run.

-Masks are recommended.

-No players meetings and no congregating.

-All attendees must maintain six-foot spacing. Markers will be at tee pads to indicate social distancing spacing. Space your own group six feet apart and do not approach other groups.

-Do not handle others' discs or equipment. Do not touch the basket when you retrieve your disc.

-Baskets will be sanitized prior to play, but please bring your own hand sanitizer and use it.

-Score cards are to be kept by one player only and dropped in a box at the end that we will disinfect before further handling. (Can also be sent to Scott at 541-908-6958.)

-There will be social distancing monitors, as required by the parks department. Please respect their authority. People flouting the social distancing guidelines will be booted. This may seem draconian, but in order to be given permission to have the tournament and keep good relations with the city for future tournaments, we need to take this seriously.

-Players pack distribution will consist of pre-packed team bags set at team starting holes prior to play. [The players packs have already been put together, to allow for quarantine time. No more requests will be taken, so please don't email us about that. To those who responded to our previous emails (thank you!!) we did our absolute best to get as many people as possible their top picks.]

-Leave site after round is finished, instead of milling about and socializing.

-Awards ceremony will be off site in an outdoors facility (see information about Cascade BBQ below) immediately following the tournament.



AWARDS CEREMONY:

We will be leaving the course immediately after the round to meet at Cascade BBQ in their large outdoor area for games and awards! We will provide one drink voucher (beer, cider, or soda) to each player who attends. Food will not be provided but will be available for purchase. Looks like they have some fun planned for us there.

Please wear masks whenever possible and of course indoors per current state requirements.

Cascade BBQ is located at 2575 NW Kings Blvd, Corvallis, in the Timberhill Shopping Center uphill from Winco. (541) 829-2009

If you do not go to the ceremony and you receive an award/prize, we will mail it to you after the event.

going to post this once more half of you have made your selection now I need the rest or you will get what I give you and like it ( you will like it). I also would like to get an idea of who you would like to play with. so I know some of you and will do my best to let you play with who you want so if you know let me know otherwise tell me where you are coming from and I will pair you with teams from your area. I would like to get a head count of people who want to go to Cascades BBQ after the round for a complimentary drink or two in a socially distanced environment for award distribution and who wants to skip that and have me send you your loot. so respond with disc choices, cardmate choices or your locale, and if you will attend the awards or just send you your loot. I know it's a lot but we gotta do it in order to play. thanks, scott.

ceremony, and opting out.

don't respond, you get what you get.

During tournament:

-All competitors must maintain six-foot spacing and avoid contact with

other players and their equipment. There will be social distancing

monitors, as required by the parks department. Please respect their

authority. People flouting the social distancing guidelines will be

booted. This may seem draconian, but in order to be given permission

to have the tournament we need to take this seriously.

-The tournament will consist of one round of 21 holes with added

-Please leave site after round is finished, instead of milling about and

socializing.

-After the round, we will meet at Cascade BBQ in their outdoor area for

a complementary drink and the awards ceremony with trophies and

prizes. Cascade BBQ will be a great spot to maintain social distancing

because their outdoor area is spacious. If you do not want to go to the

ceremony, we will mail your award/prize to you after the event.

-$100 Ace pot is in effect as well as a basket up for grabs!

We are excited to host this event! We have a ton of swag to give away! the players packs are totally worth the entry fee. Those tie dye towels are awesome! The round of disc golf should be challenging but fun. Let's play some disc golf!

Hello All, The tournament is back open! The new date is July 5th, if you need to cancel, let me know and I will get you a refund. At this point I am optimistic we will be able to play by then and I have plans to do tee times if need be for social distancing, but we will figure that out as we get closer to go time. If the tournament has to be cancelled due to the virus the refunds will be players packs for amateurs and $30-$35 for each pro player plus a t-shirt that you have to come get, but that is worst case scenario, I have so much swag to give away already including a basket and $100 ace pot, gift cards galore, bad ass tie dyes, and beer! I can't wait to get out and play again!

I have all the players pack stuff, discs, shirts, towels, it's all here plus all the swag I have from sponsors. I am hopeful we can make this happen in the future but if not I will figure out refunds and player pack distributions. thank you all for supporting this tourney, and practice your turbo putts!
