A special thanks to all the Williamsburg faithful for all their hard work. These folks take great pride in their course, and work hard to give the disc golf community a great challenge with some scenic and challenging holes. They have been working hard for weeks in preparation. It definitely doesn't go unnoticed. The course is well marked and labeled. Because of them, we will continue to have scheduled at the Burg this year and beyond. We respect and appreciate each one of them.
Please note, it is going to be very hot. Plan accordingly. Also, the course has hills and rough, and a river next to it. It is easy to lose discs. Please for the sake of pace of play, use spotters wherever necessary. If a disc is lost, there is a 3 minute time limit and then you have to re-throw with penalty. Please please please don't be the group that log jams the whole course.
Here is the schedule of events. We will check people in by the parking lot. Look for Cheryl and I and a white tent with tables set up. This will be tournament central for before the event, during the break, and afterwards.
The schedule will look like this:
830-915 - Player Check In
930a - Shotgun start for round 1
@1230p lunch break
@130p 2nd round
Immediately following will be Awards and Ace Throw Off if not hit during the round
There will not be a players meeting. It is on each player to check in so we know you are here. It only takes a moment, and helps us to make sure each card is at the minimum of 3 per card. Please check in face to face with Cheryl or myself at the shelter.
Hole assignments will be found at:
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/59911
They will be posted by 8p Friday evening.
For all players who are in the ACE Fund, if it is not hit, we will do a throw off and the ACE Fund will go to the closest disc.
We will be using PDGA Live for all scoring, and then a secondary form of scoring per card (PDGA live, Udisc or paper copy). The PDGA Live access code is: heat
Cards will be made of of primarily 4 players. Depending on numbers, we may have to mix some divisions. We will do our best to make sure everyone is with at least 1 person from their division. Divisions of 5 will play together both rounds.
All Pro divisions will receive their payouts via PayPal and all AM's Crossover cash immediately following the completion of their divisions rounds. There will be merchandise on hand to exchange in the Crossover Cash. The points winner for the Heat Wave series will receive their award following the event as well. Please be patient as we calculate points to make sure we award the correct people.
It is on each player to know the PDGA rules and guidelines. It is on each card to make sure you are on the appropriate tee. It's easy to go to the wrong hole sometimes, so make sure the card confirms they are on the correct tee pad for each hole.
It's going to be a great day. Thank you for signing up to be a part of it. We look forward to seeing you all Saturday. If for some reason you need to drop/withdraw, please do so by Friday at 3p to receive a full refund.
Please contact us with any questions you may have.
Thanks and have a great weekend,
Josh and Cheryl
