Good morning. I wanted to get this tournament email out today. Cheryl, Kyle and I are super excited about the Crossover Keep it in the Fairway, which is the last COLT qualifier of the year. It will be on Sunday 9/15 at County Farm. This will be a 2 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 9a. 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.
For County Farm, it is pretty simple and straightforward. There are no OB, no mandos, and no islands. The rough is thick, hence the name: "keep it in the fairway".
We will do approximately an hour lunch break from last card. There are not many options you can get to from County Farm and back in time. Every time we have had an event, someone has tried and failed, taking 7's on holes because they were late. So please plan accordingly.
The PDGA live code: countyfarm915
The schedule will look like this for the day:
820-850a player check in
9a - Shotgun Start
Lunch break
2nd round
Payouts and awards
Per PDGA, every player must check in. If you haven't checked in by 850p, per PDGA we can withdraw you from the event. No one wants to do that. 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 prior to 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 12p Saturday on 9/14.
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 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.
In 2024, all players are required to keep score. Cheryl and I have not been doing this accurately in previous events, so it's important we get it right. Score needs to be in PDGA Live or Paper. Those are your 2 choices. All scores must be submitted or the player not submitting will be assessed a 2 stroke penalty per PDGA. 30 minutes following the end of the round they must be turned in. So please submit and finalize on PDGA live or turn in your scorecards.
Everyone is in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit, we will donate the money to County Farm. 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 same layout from round 1 with the same course particulars.
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.
This is our last COLT qualifier. These divisions do not have to have the minimum of 3. They are all Open divisions, MA1/FA1, and AM age protected. The top 20% will move on to the finale as stated in the chart in DGS.
With low numbers, we will be more relaxed on the number of players in each division.
It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!
Thanks,
Josh, Kyle and Cheryl
