Welcome to the F3 Series. F3 stands for Flexible Floating Fridays. This is a weekly Flex Start PDGA C' Tier tournament that will take place at various courses throughout Kansas City and the surrounding area. The goal is to offer some competition and raise money for multiple events and/or projects.
FAQ's
- What is the F3 Membership?
F3 Membership:
Essentially becoming an F3 Member, you are becoming a sponsor of the F3 series which once again the main goal is to fundraise for community projects. Each week, we fundraise for two projects. Most of the time as of now, it is the Midwest Amateur Championship and the Kansas City Wide Open, but we will also sprinkle in some other events/projects as they are requested.
It cost $20 to be an F3 member from April until the end of September (basically, league season). Each F3 event we will do a drawing for your choice of $25 cash or a Prize that is worth $25 or more. At the first F3 event of the month starting in May, we will do a monthly drawing for your choice of $100 cash or a prize that is worth $100 or more. On September 30th, we will do a Grand Prize drawing of $500 in cash. Depending on how many F3 members we receive, that value may go up or we may offer more prizes based on participation. Any remaining funds will be donated to the Midwest Amateur Championships
We will have the weekly drawing even if there is not an F3 event that week.
Remember even though being an F3 member, you have a chance at winning some stuff, you are also helping the community

- Is there an Ace Pot?
There is an Ace Payout, not an Ace Pot. The difference is an Ace Pot has an adjusting value based on whether an Ace has been scored or not. An Ace Payout is the same regardless of how many players are in the event or how many Aces have been hit.
If an Ace is not scored, the funds are added to the accruing Ace Payout funds.
- How does scoring work?
Every card will be required to use two forms of scoring. One will be through the PDGA website,
www.pdga.com/scores and the second option can be whatever works better for your card. Paper, UDisc, another form... The PDGA Scoring is the official scoring and the only score that will be accepted.
The access code will be given at check-in for the event.
- What happens if there are ties within a division?
Only 1st place ties have to be decided to complete the event. If the players who are tied are not onsite to play off for the finishing position, then a tie-breaker will be decided as follows.
1.) Most Birdies
2.) First Better Score
3.) Lower PDGA Number
All ties will split the winnings unless discussed otherwise.
- I need a refund, how do I submit that?
You submit for a refund using the link that you received when you registered or you can go to the disc golfs scene event page and under the registered player's tab is a choice to withdraw or edit.
Any properly requested refunds prior to the event will be refunded $16 ($4 from each entry will still go towards the cause that the event is being played for) or the player can elect to have it moved to another F3 event. If a player cancels on the day of the event, the registration will be moved over to the next event. Any no-call, no-shows, forfeit their entry fee altogether.
If there is a question you have that is not listed here, please message me and I will answer it to the best of my knowledge.
