Details:

The event is a three day event, Thursday through Saturday. Players must be available to play all three days. Tee times may start as early as 8:00 AM and be as late at 3:00 PM. Once tee times are published, they cannot be changed. Tee times will be published to https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/56891

Scoring:
The Kansas City Wide Open will utilize PDGA live scoring, and live scoring will be your official scorecard (https://www.pdga.com/score). The access code will be provided to you on day one of the event before your tee time at the course you're playing. Paper scorecards will be made available at each course for backup purposes. Each card is required to keep two scorecards; uDisc is also an acceptable backup.

As this is a PDGA sanctioned event (and disc golf is a self-governed sport) please familiarize yourself with the rules:

https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf

If the card has a disagreement over the rules or the application of the rules, please do not engage in argument. Simply play a provisional, finish the hole from both positions, record both scores, and see your course director after the round has concluded. Your course director, as a PDGA official, will make a ruling.

See you at the 40th Annual Kansas City Wide Open! less
