Introduction
A. Welcome to the player meeting for the Blodgett Pop Up! Most know me by now, I am Robert Voss, the Willamette Disc Golf Club (WDGC) president and your tournament director.
B. Also, thank you to the City of Corvallis for allowing us to use the facility, Willamette Disc Golf Club for hosting and running the event, and our sanctioning body, PDGA.
C. Consider joining the club. Your membership will contribute to the continued growing the club and the sport, as well as the maintenance of our disc golf courses.


General Notes
A. This is a 1-round event with a single tee time selection.
a. Please be at the garage ready to go about 5 minutes before your tee time. This is also where tournament central and myself will be located.
i. I will give a brief and get the card started when it is time.


Live Scoring Info
A. Only one person on the card can be logged in and keep score
a) Go to www.pdga.com/score for entering scores
i. www.pdga.com/live for checking/watching scores
b) Login code is BPU2021
c) Use Udisc for backup card and/or we will also have paper scorecards and pencils available.
d) After the round, make sure everyone checks their scores and “signs the card” through live scoring
e) Please stop tournament central to let me check and make sure the scores show up online.


Course Notes
A. I will set up CTP holes and have a list of those at the tournament.
B. No 2-meter rule.
C. No OB unless you make it into the river, and that’s a ways off anyway!
D. Card makes all calls, and as usual, any benefit of doubt goes to the player.



Tournament Notes
A. Speed of play. Remember the time to look for lost discs is 3 minutes "after the whole card starts helping." Let's get everyone looking right away, for 3 minutes, and then it is a rethrow with 1 stroke penalty if not found.
a. Take a provisional throw if there is any doubt you can find your disc before you move your marker and walk off.
B. And please also remember that this is a sanctioned event, so no kids under 13 (with exception for a well-behaved caddie per PDGA rules), no pets, and no drug or alcohol use during the rounds.
a. “During the round” is defined as, “from the 2-minute warning until the time the scorecards are turned in.”
b. Please don't put me in a position to have to kick someone out of the tournament. I don't want to do that.
C. If you smoke cigarettes, then try to be courteous of people around you and downwind. Per section 812A, players may not allow their smoke to disturb other players. Just use some common sense and courtesy.
a. It is a warning the first time, and then a courtesy violation with a stroke penalty subsequent times secondhand smoke somehow disturbs another player.
D. I will bring bottled water. The well water out there is not the best.



COVID-19 Notes
A. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, then please do not come to the tournament.
a. Go to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html for more information.
B. Please do not congregate in groups of more than 10, including in the parking lot, by request of the City of Corvallis.
a. Please help us “make it look good” so we can continue to have events.
C. Wearing a mask is encouraged but not required.
D. Please maintain 6-foot physical distancing, or wear a mask if you cannot, per the state rules.
E. Please bring your own hand sanitizer. There will also be some hand sanitizer at tournament central, available upon request.



Final notes:
Let's respect park laws and the PDGA rules of play, and always remember the first rule of disc golf: HAVE FUN!
