Good morning.
I wanted to get this tournament email out this morning. Cheryl and I are super excited about the Spring Fever 3. This is the 3rd year at Millikin Woods on Saturday, 4/8. 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. If you have any questions or issues in regards to the tournament, please text/call Josh at 513-225-6022. I'll be the TD for this event.
PLEASE NOTE- We will be setting up at shelter #10 this year. It is close to #3. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYONE TO PARK THERE. There are several parking areas around the park and you should use these as much as possible and walk to tournament central. Once hole assignments are posted, I'd suggest parking in an area closer to where you start.
We are playing the original 18 holes plus 6 temp holes. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. The course always flows well. The hole order will go like the following. We have used some of theses many times, so they will be familiar to most.
Hole 1, A, 2, B, 3-8, C, D, E, 9, F, 10-18
All course particulars are in PDGA live. Basically anything past the fences, posts, on or over roads and pavement. The only hole that might be confusing the way we play it is hole #2. Here's the run down. When you are on the tee and look at the basket, we play it as an "island". There is a paved walking trail short that goes up the right side as well. There is then a gravel path long, and a fence to the left. You must land inside this island, or re-tee with a penalty stroke. It's a pretty good sized area to land in.
PDGA live code: fever
The schedule will look like this for the day:
8-850a player check in shelter
9a - 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 7a the morning of the event. I learned in 2022 that as soon as I post them the night before, inevitably people drop and so forth. So thanks for your understanding on that. You can find them here:

If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a refund, you must withdraw by 3p on Friday.
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 fund. The ACE fund is sitting around $325 right now. 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
