Thank you to our sponsors: Disc Baron and Mason County Disc Golf Organization

Thank you to all the players for signing up and letting us put this event on for you.
This will serve as the players meeting for the event. There will not be an in-person players meeting. If you have any questions, please address these at the time of check-in.
Basic Information
CHECK-IN IS FROM 8-8:45 Please see Disc Baron, Trav, Adam or Jeff at tourney central under the pavilion near hole 3 to check in, pick up your player’s pack, get into Ace Pool, 50/50 or Ace Bounty if you haven’t already. Please be sure to check in before 8:45.
If you need to pay for ace pool or 50/50, please do so during check-in.
TEE OFF FOR ROUND 1 WILL BE 9
Two horns will blow for 2 minutes at 8:58 followed by 1 at 8:30 for Tee Off. This will also be used for starting the 2nd round.

Weather - There may be a possibility of bad weather. We will be monitoring the weather and any lightning activity. Should we need to stop play, we will blow the horn 3 times. Immediately mark your lie and leave the course. We will notify players once play will resume and 3 horns will be used again to start play once the weather stoppage time has passed.
Water - Water will be available at tournament central and on the course
Ace Pool - We will be using a CTP on Hole 15 in place of the Ace Pool Throw Off. If no one hits a paid ace during the round, the winner of this CTP will receive the Ace Pool. If a paid ace is hit during the round, this CTP will be null and void. This is only eligible for those players who paid in.
Ace Bounty Hole - If you opted to pay into the Ace Bounty, that is on hole 17. This must be filmed to claim your $250 Disc Baron voucher.
CTP/LP Prizes - CTP/LP flags will be out for BOTH ROUNDS. This excludes the 50/50, ace throw off and MA1 merch ctp. These will be out for round 1 only while everyone plays the same layout.
PLEASE BE SURE to bring in all Prize Flags after the 2nd round.
You MUST be present to collect your CTP/LP prize. We will not hold or ship these prizes.
C Tier - This is a PDGA C Tier Sanctioned event. All PDGA rules will be enforced and it is solely the player’s responsibility for knowing and abiding by those rules.
Live Scoring & Hole Assignments
We will be utilizing PDGA Live Scoring. Your hole assignments for the 1st round are live and 2nd round will be listed in the Live Scoring system during lunch.
Hole assignments will also be available at tourney central.
We will have paper score cards on hand and we always recommend keeping a back up in case of any technical issues. Paper score cards do not need to be turned in unless there is an issue with the live scoring system.
