This event is three days, one round per day with Shotgun starts for all players at beautiful Whistlers Bend Park just outside Roseburg, OR.
Teams will compete in the following format. (Format subject to change as we get closer to the registration date).
This is the 2025 format, could see small changes for 2026

Early Registration for tee sign sponsors opens February 23th at 6:00pm. These tee signs are on sale for $60/team. Tee sign payment and registration are due at the time of sign up. There are 27 tee sign sponsorships available.
General Registration opens March 3rd at 6:00pm.
Space is limited to 50 AM Teams and 60 Pro Teams. Tournament Staff Reserves the right to change these numbers as we project groupings
There are no caps for individual divisions, just AM/PRO total numbers. Please be on top of sign ups if you want to play.
Tee Sign Sponsorships are NON REFUNDABLE.
Tournament Staff will hold spots for up to 7 teams (we reserve the right to change that number) that come and help with the work party the weekend before the tournament.
ALL PLAYERS PLEASE READ:
This event will be played under the PDGA platform but will not count as a "sanctioned event" on your player page. This is what we know in full transparency and why some decisions have been made. It will run very similar to the test D Tier status we used last year.
1. Most importantly for tournament staff/player experience we get to use PDGA Live Scoring. That's huge for the organization of the event and how smoothly things run. If you have tried to run a 240 person tournament before using paper scorecards, it's pretty brutal. This is so big and helps build off what we got to do last year.
2. Because we get to use live scoring and the PDGA platform, all results and live standing for the event will be viewable on the PDGA page, this will also allow us to post tee times as soon as we can at the conclusion of each round, you won't have to wait hours to figure out what groups you are playing in or what time you start the next round. It will also help awards be done immediately following the completion of your final round, not hours after.
3. We do need PDGA insurance to make this event happen with Douglas County Parks. Here is where it get a little tricky. If we didn't need insurance we would just be paying $3/player to the PDGA for facilitating the whole thing which is WELL worth it. But the way their insurance works, in order for all players to be covered and it to be suitable insurance for Douglas County Parks, Any player who is not PDGA current for 2025 or does not have a PDGA number at all, we will have to pay the $15 temporary membership fee for, like any other sanctioned event would. Every other event, the player would be fully responsible to pay this fee. THIS IS PENDING FOR 2026, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE HAVE TO CHARGE NON-MEMBER FEES FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT CURRENT. THE TD'S CANNOT PAY THIS OUT OF POCKET LIKE LAST YEAR. We encourage players to be PDGA current. We are working through our options with this but it is very possible non-current or non-PDGA members will have a $15 fee to pay on top of the entry fee.
