This is a C-Tier tournament sanctioned by the PDGA which means all PDGA rules will be
followed during tournament play. We have designed a challenging 27 Hole layout
at Forty Niner Country Club. Below is a breakdown of important information for competitors.

COVID 19 PRECAUTIONS
For the tournament to run successfully and safely during these times we must make some adjustments. The first and most important will be us creating an A pool and a B Pool. All pro divisions and MA1 will be the A pool. All other divisions will be the B Pool.
A- MPO, FPO, MP40, MP50 and MA1
B- FA1, MA2, FA2, MA3, FA3, MA40, MA50,
Essentially the tournament will be breaking into two 50 person groups for the entire weekend. There will be two separate areas for the pools to check-in, warm up and get their carts. We will be having a shotgun start at the normal times like years past, but we will send each pool out separately to avoid contact. There will be signage directing each pool to their designated area when arriving to the course. Once in the area we will be asking that you stay within your pool.

Saturday September 12th
1:00-1:45 PM - Check In (at your designated Pool Area)
1:45– Receive Cart Assignments and go to starting hole
2:00 PM Round 1 – 27 Holes Shotgun Start
Sunday September 13th
1:45 PM - Receive Cart Assignments and go to starting hole
2:00 PM Round 2 – 27 Holes Shotgun Start

PLAYERS MEETING AND AWARDS CEREMONY
We will be posting a virtual player meeting prior to the event and it will be required for every competitor to watch the players meeting to compete. We will still be distributing awards and prizes once the 2nd round concludes but there will be NO awards ceremony.

SCORE KEEPING, CADDY BOOKS AND COURSE INFORMATION
It will be required that every card uses PDGA for online scoring instead of the traditional paper scorecards. The online scoring will be official, and penalties will be added for incorrect scoring. The Caddy Book and course information will also be digital this year so please make sure you save this to your phone before arriving.

PARTICIPANT SAFETY
Due to covid-19 you are required to adhere to CDC guidelines. If you are showing any signs or have been in contact with any person who is sick please stay home. Participants should not touch discs, bags or any other property belonging to another participant.

MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED WHEN 6 FEET OF DISTANCE IS NOT POSSIBLE.
i.e. Check-In Area, Restrooms and when using the golf carts.

Weather
We will be following the PDGA Standards on all weather that may occur.

Attire
We are on a Country Club that does have a dress code so please dress professionally.
Collard Tee and No Jeans Please!

Carts and Caddies
All competitors will be assigned to carts with their card mates. There will NOT be an option to have a caddie or rent additional carts this year. We do not want to turn people away who still choose to show up, but we have no choice in these times.

Drinking/Smoking
We will be enforcing PDGA rules regarding drinking or smoking during play. Before and After the rounds you may drink but once “Two Minutes” is Called the rounds have officially started and players will be disqualified if caught.

Practice/Warm Up
Unfortunately, we will not be able to practice the course before the tournament. There will be an option to warm up and putt on the first couple holes once players have Checked In.

Ace Pool
We will have an Ace Pool for $5 that you may sign up for when checking in. less
