Good evening.
I wanted to get this tournament email out this evening. Cheryl and I are super excited about the Crossover Heatwave Classic #1 on Sunday 7/16 at Williamsburg. This will be a 2 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 930a.
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. If you have any questions or issues in regards to the tournament, please text/call Cheryl at 513-348-6140. She'll be the TD for this event.
We will be at the shelter for check in and that will be tournament central.
We are playing the 26 hole layout for this event. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. The course always flows well.
The exciting buzz right now is that the Burg is in the process of concrete pad installation. There are a few holes that we will be able to throw off of that were poured last week. A special thanks to all the hands that were involved in the process, and to those who help maintain the course. This is a course that is volunteer driven.
All course particulars are in PDGA live. There are a few holes with mandos (1, 9, and 15). There is an island on hole 21. Most OB's are on/over paths and pavement, or surrounded by water in the river. The hole that always has the most conversation to it is hole 6. We are going to play it differently than we have in the past. And maybe this way will be easier and more efficient. The creek in front of the basket is going to be considered casual relief. There might be rain on Saturday and there might not be. Right now it doesn't have much if any water in it. If your disc goes into the creek ravine directly in front of the basket, you can play it if you choose to as is. If in any water, it is casual relief. If your stance is muddy/slick, you can choose to go back to the nearest point of relief agreed upon by your card on the flat ground, with no penalty. This must be in a direct line away from the basket per PDGA casual relief.
The PDGA live code will be: burg716
The schedule will look like this for the day:
830-915a player check in shelter
930a - Shotgun Start
Lunch
2nd round
Payouts and awards
I can't stress enough, please take the short amount of time to physically check in with us. 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! In the case that someone doesn't show up and your card has less than 3 at tee off, you will have to grab a player from a card near by. If everyone checks in, this shouldn't be an issue.
Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions.
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 the evening before the event. You can find them here:

If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a refund, you must withdraw by 5p on Saturday.
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 45% per division by the PDGA. That will help you determine if you need/want to stick around. AM's will receive 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. We have pledged half of the ACE fund to the Burg for concrete pads, but will throw off for the other half. The winner of the throw off will win half of the ace fund. We are now doing ACE payoffs electronically by PayPal.
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, playing the layout from round 1.
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.
It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!
Thanks,
Josh and Cheryl
