Good evening. Thanks for signing up to be part of the Crossover "Fall Fling" series that stops at the world famous Idlewild in NKY. This event will be on Saturday, 11/15. This will be a 1 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 10a. We will play the regular 24 hole layout. This event will be shorts to shorts as much as possible.

The following will be the most important details for the event. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions or comments before the event.

All course particulars are in PDGA live. The code will be: idlewild1115 (it won't be active until Friday evening).
Whatever is in PDGA live is what players at to go by. It is important that on each tee, the group double checks particulars, so that everyone plays the correct and same layout.

The layout is pretty straightforward with OB being on/over roads/path, past/over/beyond fences, and surrounded by water in ponds only. Creeks will be played as casual relief. If you land under a bridge, you are allowed to mark your disc vertically on the bridge for this event, pending card approval on placement.

Layout-

1 - Only tee to only basket
2 - Only tee to short basket
3 - Short tee to only basket (short FPO is new this year)
4 - Only tee to only basket
5 - Short tee to only basket (tee is about 75 feet from 4 basket)
6 - Only tee to only basket (no mando)
7 - Short tee to only basket
8 - Short tee to only basket
9 - Only tee to only basket
10 - Only tee to only basket
11 - Short tee to only basket
12 - Only tee to only basket
13 - Only tee to only basket
14 - Short tee to only basket (short FPO is new this year)
15 - Short tee to only basket
16 - Only tee to short basket (Pro tour basket...not as good as long unfortunately...no Mando)
17 - Only tee to short basket
18 - Only tee to only basket
19 - Only tee to short basket (after the hole head left to hardly ever used short old tee for 20)
20 - Shortest old tee to only basket (it should be about 200 feet)
21 - Only tee to only basket
22 - Short tee to long basket (sorry we aren't playing the short basket. I don't know anyone who does)
23 - Only tee to only basket
24 - Only tee to only basket

The schedule will look like this for the day:
9-950a player check by hole 7
10a - Shotgun Start
Awards

Per PDGA you must check in or can be removed prior to the event. All players not checked in by 950a will be removed from the field. Please have enough respect for us as TD's to check in. Thank you for your help with this. There is nothing harder on the TD to scramble trying to figure out if there are enough players on a hole because someone didn't check in.

Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions. Pace of play is on each card. With a shotgun start and this layout, there is no reason for any card to get more than 2 holes behind. Please keep pace and be conscious about it. With 24 holes, it is very important that all cards keep pace.

Also, just a reminder, that any junior younger than 13 must have a parent/guardian on their card. There are many juniors now signing up in non-junior divisions, so we don't always catch this beforehand. Please advise and follow the PDGA guidelines on junior players.

We are not going to have a players meeting. It is your responsibility to know what's expected for the day and be at your hole for the start of each round. Hole assignments will be posted by 9p Friday night. However, people drop so I would double check 8a the morning of the event. You can find them here: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/97146

If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a refund, you must withdraw by 3p on Friday, 11/14.

Following the round, please give us a few minutes to get everything organized so we can hand out awards and payouts. If you are curious if you are going to get a payout, it is the top 40% per division by the PDGA. That will help you determine if you need/want to stick around. The Open players will receive cash/PayPal, and the AM's merchandise vouchers in the form of Crossover Cash. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand. All vouchers must be used day of event. We will have around 300 discs from several different manufacturers, towels, chalk bags, hats, minis, etc.

For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit we will donate it to the Bread of Life in Greensburg, Indiana. The entire Fall Fling series any ace funds not hit will be donated at the completion of the series. So know that you are paying it forward.

In the event there is a tie for first place in a division, the playoff will start on hole #1 until there is a winner.

This is a PDGA event, so everyone should be up to date on the PDGA's stance on what is legal and what is not legal. Please don't put Cheryl or myself in position to make a call that we don't want to address, or should have to address.

Next weekend on 11/23 will be the 3rd Fall Fling at Idlewild. For registration to that one or any of our others, please go to the following. We will be doing a points standings for the series. One of the division points winners will be selected randomly and will will free entry to our Frosty Fling series this winter in 2026. https://www.discgolfscene.com/club/6010/crossover-disc-golf/tournaments

It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!

Thanks,
Josh and Cheryl

I just wanted to make a quick post. About half of the registrations so far have requested to be carded with particular players. I just wanted to remind everyone that we let the PDGA tournament manager randomly select cards. Yes, there are times that I need to override some cards for various reasons. I've had a few different groups request each other due to riding together. With being a shotgun start, there is no benefit of being carded together. If this was tee times, that is a different situation. Next, as I have explained to a few players already, I do not arrange cards to put groups of friends/family together, unless it is a situation that needs to be with a guardian/underage player or different scenario. Whether it is an advantage or not, it is does come off as a perceived advantage when a card of friends are paired together for a competitive PDGA event. We do not mix divisions, and try to keep divisions together as much as possible for competitive purposes. I do appreciate that most of the request have said: "if possible". Thanks for your understanding. We try to accommodate when and where applicable. Please message me if there are any additional questions on this subject. Thanks!
