Good evening.
I wanted to get this tournament email out this evening. Cheryl and I are super excited about the upcoming Crossover Thanksgiving Feast 2022.
This event will be a 3 round, C-Tier event. The first two rounds will be on Saturday (11/19), and the 3rd round will be Sunday (11/20). Both days tee times will be 9a shotgun starts.
Here's the breakdown:
Round 1 - Heritage
Round 2 - Millikin
Round 3 - Harbin
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. Here's our numbers (best to text): Josh 513-225-6022 and Cheryl 513-348-6140.
All 3 courses we are playing the original/main 18 holes. There will be no temp holes for this event.
Obviously we had a lower turnout than expected, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to have a great time. We are thankful that you have signed up and are going to play this weekend.
As far as the course particulars, we are playing a pretty friendly layout. Here's the layouts and OB's and such. They will be listed in PDGA live as well.
Heritage -
OB On/Over any path on holes: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17
Millikin -
OB On/over any path or over any fence on holes: 1, 2, 3, 8 (road...not small concrete area by the basket), 10 (long by road), 11 (right)
OB past the posts left on holes: 17 and 18
We play 2 as an island with re-tee as missed. The island is inside the walking trail, the fence to the left, and the road/path long.
Harbin -
OB on/over any path on holes: 3 (long), 4 (right), 7 (long)
The schedule will look like this:

I can't stress enough, please take the short amount of time to physically check in with us by hole1. 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!
Cards will be made up primarily of 4, but we will have some groups of 3. We will keep the pace of play in mind as we construct cards.
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. You can find them here:
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/63149
We will take an hour and half lunch break between rounds 1 and 2. The same link will have 2nd round hole assignments posted as well.
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: feast
If you decide that this event is not for you, to receive a refund, you must withdraw by 3p 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 (except Novice which is trophy only). 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. We've had 6 players this year hit an ACE in our events that were not in the ACE fund. We are playing a lot of RED tees, so please plan accordingly.
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 layout from 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. 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!
We will see you this weekend.
Thanks,
Josh and Cheryl
