PARKING

Please park to the right of the driveway in the large open field. This will allow other park guests to use the facilities.


DIVISIONS

This tournament is an officially sanctioned XC tier tournament. This means that both players on a given team must meet the qualifications for their division based on PDGA guidelines. For example, if an 800 rated player and a 905 player are on the same team, they must play MA2 or above. If an am is playing with an open player, they must register in the open division. Basically, both players need to qualify for the division they are registering for.


SUMMARY

2 rounds 18 Holes Shotgun Start
We are finalizing some plans right now, but we expect to include a temp hole or two depending on the registration numbers.

This tournament will use the Official Rules of Disc Golf from the PDGA for play

This tournament is set up as a fundraiser to benefit the Jackson County Disc Golf Club a 501(c)(3) organization. All proceeds will go directly to supporting disc golf in and around Jackson County Florida at Citizen's Lodge Park and another course coming soon!

We will use PDGA live scoring to keep score. pdga.com/live use code swelter2024


PLAYER'S PACKS + PRIZES + PAYOUT

You may opt out of the player's pack (you will still be entered in the CTP and long drive and long putt)- you're basically selling your player's pack back to the club for $15) - This will save $15 per player - Simply select the "No Player's Pack" option at checkout.

MPO and FPO divisions will play for 100% payout (plus a little added cash in order to round payouts up)

$20 from each entry fee for AM divisions will go toward payout. Payouts are provided as gift certificates to Sun King Discs and will be delivered through email. Payouts will be to the top 40% of pro and 45% for am dicision. No trophies will be provided in order to keep the payout as high as possible.
