About this tournament
2 rounds of play
Ambassador Cup XII! Year 12 of the ragingly popular and unique teams event is back, coming this year to Fall Branch Forest, a private course in Charlotte, TN built and owned by our own Michael McDaniel! The course will only be available to play for those registered in this event. I could not figure out how to load a private course into DGscene which is why Ethan Page was chosen b/c that's the least Ambassador Cup-like course I can imagine.
Sunday, March 29. Team rating cap of 3852 because that is the team rating of our defending champions at the time of the start of registration. 3 of the 4 members of your team must be PDGA current. The non-current member will count as 963 toward the cap. You cannot be over the cap at the time you register. If your team goes over the cap at a ratings update after you register, then you will still be allowed to play. You must provide at least three team members' PDGA numbers at signups, and the non-current fourth would count 963.
8:30 players meeting, 9:00 round 1 start
It's $200 per team to play, with a cap of 18 teams. Entry will include $5 a head to Mike, cash CTPs, $200 ace pot (to payout if not hit) and other overhead like the trophy carving, etc. Approximately $2400-3000 will go toward payout but TBD based on number of teams signed up.
Round 1 will be a 4-man scramble with round 2 as doubles. Your team decides the pairings, but you will not be carded together for round 2. The lowest combined score of the three rounds is the winner of a decent chunk of cash and, more importantly, the extremely badass and second-only-to-the-Stanley-Cup-in-coolness Ambassador Cup trophy. There are names on it so famous that you'd do anything to have your name carved alongside them. Who will lift the trophy this year?
I highly suggest channeling the team properties and chemistry of our four superheroes shown in the flyer. There isn't any team in the world capable of defeating them, but if you could just assemble a team kind of like them...then maybe, just maybe you could be victorious.

POPULAR QUESTIONS TO WHICH THE ANSWER IS NO

-Can I sign myself up four times and figure out a team later?
-We have more than one guy who isn't PDGA current, is that cool?
