I wanted to get this tournament email out this morning. I waited a little longer than normal because I knew the spots were going to fill in. Cheryl and I are super excited about the upcoming Crossover Heat Wave #1 event at Millikin this Saturday (5/28). This is a 2 round, PDGA C-tier event.
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.
The event is a 2 rounder of 18 holes. We are playing the regular 18 Millikin holes, and it should be a fun and challenging day for everyone.
Here is the flow of the course and the particulars:
1 - OB over fence left or on/over path right and long
2 - OB on/over path short or path or gravel paths long. You must land inside the "island" of paths or re-tee
3 - OB over fence left
4 - NO OB
5 - NO OB
6 - NO OB
7 - NO OB
8 - OB on/over pavement
9 - NO OB
10 - OB over fence long parallel to road
11- NO OB
12 - NO OB
13 - NO OB
14 - NO OB
15 - NO OB
16 - NO OB
17 - OB past posts left (post to post)
18 - OB past posts left (post to post)
Any standing water on the course is played as casual relief, with no penalty. This mainly is referring to hole 9, but with all the rain this week, any standing water on the course.
The schedule will look like this for the day:
830-915a - Player check in by hole 17 tee pad
930a - Shotgun Start 1st round
@12-1p - Lunch
@ 1p 2nd round
@ 4p Awards
I can't stress enough, please take the short amount of time to physically check in with us at 17 tee pad. The shelters were all rented out, and since we don't really use the shelter, we will set up camp by 17 tee pad. This helps us make sure that everyone is here, and there are no holes with less than 3 players. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but it causes us issues trying to figure out if you are present or not. Please, please, please, just stop by and check in with us. Thank you in advance for this!
It's going to be a fun day and event. The layout flows very well. 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 for round 1 will be posted on the PDGA page by 8p Friday evening.

For the flow of the day, the order of the holes will be on the physical scorecard and in PDGA Live. The access code is: heatwave
If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a full refund, you must withdraw by 3p Friday.
I will have hole assignments up by Friday night, but just know that they could change due to players dropping/adding last minute. Our goal is 3 or 4 per card, with no cards of 5.
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 Crossover Cash. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand.
For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit, we will do a throw off. The winner of the throw off will win the whole ace pot.
In the event there is a tie for first place in a division, they playoff will start on hole #1 until there is a winner, playing the flow of holes of the event.
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.
It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!
We will see you Saturday!
Thanks,
Josh and Cheryl
