Good evening.

I wanted to get this tournament email out this evening. Cheryl and I are super excited about the last of the upcoming Winter World Championships at Cowan Lake. This event will be on Saturday, March 11th. 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 Cheryl at 513-348-6140. She'll be the TD for this event.

We are playing the original 18 holes plus 1 temp hole. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. The temp hole will be after hole 18, and will be to the practice basket.

All course particulars are in PDGA live. The main OB is on/over the roads that weave around some holes, and surrounded by water in the lake. Any standing water outside of the lake will be deemed as casual relief with no penalty. This means, behind the water away from the basket. Your card should be in the discussion on casual water.

I have attached 2 pictures. One of them is an example of the awesome award each World Champion will win. The other picture is of the menu of the food truck that will be there during lunch break. It was a big hit at our last event there. The course/park also gets a % of the sales, so you are supporting the course as well.

PDGA live code: champ

The schedule will look like this for the day:
9-850p player check by hole 1 blue
9a - Shotgun Start
Lunch approximately an hour after last card turned in
Round 2
Awards

Looking at the cold temps around check in, Cheryl and Amber Feldhaus will be in a white Toyota Camry on the circle by the practice basket to check in with. 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.

IF YOU DO NOT CHECK IN WITH CHERYL IN PERSON (NO TEXTS), YOU WILL BE DELETED BEFORE TEE OFF BECAUSE WE WILL ASSUME YOU AREN'T HERE. THERE'S NO REASON TO NOT PHYSICALLY CHECK IN. It helps us not have to scramble to make sure there's enough players on cards. It's a PDGA sanctioned event. Please have enough respect for us as TD's to check in. Thank you for your help with this.

Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions. There will be no cards of more than 4 players.

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: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/66140

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. All Novice divisions are trophy only.

For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit, we will do a throw off. This will be the first event we catch up with the technology age and send the ACE fund out via PayPal. This eliminates us having to go to the ATM and such. And also, it's 2023 time to do all cash payouts via 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
