Seems like there was a little confusion on hazard and out of bound if you're laying in the river sidewalk or you cross over A curb or painted line out of bounds, that takes precedence over missing the hazard. you take your penalty stroke from where you were last in bounds, if you did not land in the hazard and you're on the grass you play your hazard stroke from where your disc lies with a penalty.

Course Parking:

Thunderbird: Tournament central will be located off of 56th Ave and Eugie. The parking lot for the medical building in the back at 5601 W Eugie is available. There is a security guard in a golf cart. Please be mindful of your extracurricular activities so we do not lose this parking lot. This includes adult beverages as well as any legal smoking products. We have parked here for years, LET’S NOT BE THAT GROUP.

Swee****er: There is several parking lots around the course. There is also street parking along hole 17. Please try and pick a parking lot that is close to your starting hole.

Conocido: Parking is first come first serve. There is plenty of street parking along with the parking lot. Be mindful of where you park as your car might get hit by incoming discs. We are not responsible. There are a lot of regular park goers (dog walkers, kids, cyclists etc.). Please be aware that they have the right of way.



If your disc goes over a wall DO NOT USE YOUR RETRIEVER OR JUMP OVER THE WALL. This will result in an automatic disqualification from the event.

These courses are at public parks. Pedestrians, dog walkers, bicyclists, children etcetera. They have the right of way. Please be mindful of your surroundings.

Awards will be held at Conocido following the last round and playoffs.

Playoffs: In the event of a tie for first place in all divisions. Players will playoff at Conocido park starting at hole 1, hole 2, hole 5, hole 10 and hole 11. If the tie is not broken then players will repeat the order until a winner emerges.

We have a lot of trophies, for example, there are 19 trophies for MPO. All ties after 1st place need to CTP for the trophy. You will still split cash according to the PDGA guidelines. IE 4th, 5th and 6th place tie will throw a CTP for the trophy. Then 4th, 5th and 6th place will split the cash.



HAZARD rule: If you do not land in the island, you play your disc as it lies with a penalty stroke.

If you go out of bounds or land in the sidewalk river **THIS IS NOT A HAZARD**. You play your lie from where you were last in bounds with a penalty stroke.

You will get one penalty stroke for out of bounds or one penalty stroke for landing outside of the marked island. You cannot be double stroked.



From our tournament staff: We would like to give a huge shoutout to Curtis Van Slyke for organizing the course cleanups and for everyone that came out to pick up trash.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS!!!!

Has anyone gotten sick after this tournament? cough? or feeling less energy? I ask because 12 days after this tournament I was coughing up blood. Took just over a week of testing and have results of Valley Fever. It is not contagious, but it comes from spores in the soil. After the soil has been disturbed (like clearing brush and trees). The incubation period is 7-21 days. Those courses we played definitely not the cleanest places to play. Not sure that is the spot I picked it up, but just in case anyone has symptoms like these. Go get yourself checked.

Nolan Tsingine    December 5, 2022 at 4:08pm

Will you be sending payouts via PayPal? I was not there for the awards

Nolan Tsingine    December 4, 2022 at 11:27pm

If we were unable to get payouts after the round will they be sent via PayPal? Or a different way

chad lacey    December 4, 2022 at 3:37pm

Is there no other option?? Because of venues selected all these divisions don’t get a chance to finish., but other divisions can?

Crystal Spinas    December 3, 2022 at 11:56pm

I lost my disc grabber at Thunderbird This afternoon. If anyone see it or has it I would love to have it back. Extendable with yellow grabber. Thank you!

Robert Cummings III    December 3, 2022 at 2:58am

Did you guys see the projected payout?

Elaine Zuker    December 3, 2022 at 12:10am

Maybe move one outhouse to the opposite corner of the course at cono for us frequent users. Haha. There are lots of holes to play before one reaches hole 1. Just a thought.

Heather Putnam    December 2, 2022 at 11:00pm
