Tipp City Disc Golf invites you to join our 3rd Annual BYOP Doubles Tournament at Tipp City Park Disc Golf Course!

This fundraising event is our main source of funding for improvements to the course. Over the past two years, this event has brought in close to $1800 dollars that we have converted into new baskets, supplies for the weekly league, and equipment to maintain the course throughout the year, alongside building up connections that have bolstered the league, and brought us outside improvement help like wood chips, and built a relationship with the city.

This is an unsanctioned BYOP Doubles tournament, same set up as always. Sign up as partners, play best shot doubles over two rounds, and hopefully you can take home some winnings! We will be playing 20 holes, the normal 18 alongside 2 extra holes added in the field alongside hole 8. (I may change these holes this year, I'll update everyone if I do). It is a shotgun start, and as such there will be 120 players, 3 teams on each hole.

There will be a 5$(cash) 50/50 Ace pot at check in, as well as $5 cash mulligans.These are per player, not team. If no Ace is hit, we will do a CTP for the Ace pot after the tournament. We will also have CTP prizes on multiple holes, and multiple items being raffled off, so bring some cash for raffle tickets and the ace pot/mulligans!

All of the OB rules will be explained in the players meeting and marked. Although this is an unsanctioned event, we will use all of the normal PDGA rules for OB, lies, relief, etc.
Those Rules can be found here: https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf

Please do your best to pick an appropriate division for your team. If you aren't sure, you can ask me for advice on what I think would be right for you. I reserve the right to refuse any blatantly unfair division choices. If any division has less than three teams, they may need to combine with another division. This will be addressed with those players beforehand if it is an issue. Generally you should lean towards your strongest players' preferred division, but there can be exceptions.

If anyone isn't wanting to play and would like to help volunteer, or would like to help with course work beforehand, please let me know. I’m still new to this, and my only help for most of the preparation and running the event is really my family. There are limbs to trim, string trimming to be done, and lines to paint that I could always use a hand with, Spotting and helping set up and tear down is a huge help, any little bit helps out a lot.

We are using this event as a fundraising event. As such, the majority of the money will be used to payout players based on how many players participated in their division using the PDGA calculator. Entry fees will be collected using PayPal and winnings will be distributed via PayPal as well. PLEASE MAKE SURE WHOEVER SIGNS UP YOUR TEAM HAS READY ACCESS TO THE PAYPAL ACCOUNT THEY SIGN UP WITH. We only had minor issues the first year, but this last year we had some serious annoyances that lead to me dealing with payouts for weeks. Payouts are going to that account, you guys can split them up. Because it’s an unsanctioned event, people like to win money. I’ve gotten mixed feedback on this. Some want the Hazy credit, some just want money. But if you want to win money, you have to deal with that process. Feel free to let me know what you think, I am continuing this payout process because most people have been happy with it.

The payout structure is 70% to the players, 30% to the fundraiser. The funds raised will go directly into course improvements, such as new baskets, new equipment, course maintenance, and future planning.

If you have any questions, I’d prefer you message me at https://www.facebook.com/TippCityDiscGolf but if that’s not possible, I can check them on here also, it’s just very annoying and it’ll take me longer to notice the messages and comments on here, fair warning.

As usual, we are in need of sponsors to make this event a successful fundraiser. We payout most of our players’ contributions back to the winners of the respective divisions, so our sponsors are important to making this fundraiser actually raise funds. We can never have too many sponsors, whether you want to pay to sponsor a hole, provide a service, or donate something to the players, we could use your help. I will spend the upcoming months reaching out to potential sponsors for help, and we will shout out our sponsors as much as we possibly can in return for their help. As a sponsor we will put a sign up at the hole you donated for, a large sign at tournament central will include all of our sponsors, and we will make single posts for each sponsor on our facebook page as well as several group posts. Please reach out if you would like to help us!

One final matter, if you need to withdraw from the tournament, do so beforehand. I understand that things happen, but we prepare the cards the night before, and last year we had a team withdraw the morning of the tournament, and one team just plain not show up without saying anything. I was polite and I refunded these teams last year, but this throws a huge wrench in the plans on an already busy and hectic day. If you contact me and work with me, I will work with you. If you do not show up, you WILL NOT be issued a refund after the fact.

Thank you guys for a great event last year, looking forward to another one!
