Good morning. Thanks for signing up to be part of the Crossover "The Rest of Us Open" at Millikin. This event will be on Saturday, 8/16. This will be a 1 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 930a. We will play the regular 18 hole layout.
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.
All course particulars are in PDGA live. The code will be: mill816
The layout is pretty straightforward with OB being on/over paths, past/over/beyond fences, and over/beyond/past the poles that line the driveway on 17 and 18.
All standing water is casual water relief. If there is any standing water, it will probably be mostly on hole 9 and hole 11.
The schedule will look like this for the day:
9-920a player check by hole 3
930a - Shotgun Start
Awards
Per PDGA you must check in or can be removed prior to the event. All players not checked in by 920a will be removed from the field. Please have enough respect for us as TD's to check in. Thank you for your help with this. There is nothing harder on the TD to scramble trying to figure out if there are enough players on a hole because someone didn't check in.
Also, per PDGA, all cards must be submitted/turned in within 30 minutes of completion of your round or the player receives a 2 stroke penalty. Please make sure you finalize your PDGA live. If you card doesn't receive a rating within a few minutes of submitting your scores on PDGA live, you know that someone on the card didn't finalize and submit.
Cards will be made up with pace of play in mind. Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions. Pace of play is on each card. With a shotgun start and this layout, there is no reason for any card to get more than 1 hole behind. Please keep pace and be conscious about it.
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 Friday night. However, people drop so I would double check 830a the morning of 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 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 merchandise vouchers in the form of Crossover Cash. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand. All vouchers must be used day of event. We will have around 200 discs from several different manufacturers, towels, chalk bags, hats, minis, etc.
For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit we will donate it to the UC Discats program.
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.
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
