If you are an out of state player you MUST adhere to the state travel guidance found below.

https://www.healthvermont.gov/covid-19/travel-quarantine

All out of state players and Vermonter's who have travelled out of state recently have 2 options...

Option #1: You are fully vaccinated and it has been at least 14 days since you final dose

Option #2: Get a negative Covid 19 test within 3 days of entering the state.

Tournament Central: Look for the Innova tent in the parking lot near hole #2. This is where you will check in before and after your rounds.


Players Meeting: MANDATORY. I will host a FB Live Players Meeting on Thurs. April 22nd @ 8pm. All players are required to watch the Players Meeting at some point before competing in the event. The Players Meeting will be posted to the DGVT FB page, so you do not need to watch live. I am working on getting the YouTube channel up and running for those non-Facebook users.

Awards: Monday, April 26th ( time TBD). Facebook Live. We will recognize the division winners. Trophies will be available for pickup post Round 2. All division winners will win a custom trophy! If you are a division winner, please grab your trophy at the Scoring Tent Sunday after your round. The Awards Ceremony will be posted to the DGVT FB page, so you do not need to watch live. If you do not have a Facebook account then please try to coordinate with someone you know ( a friend, a player, a partner, a family member) that does have FB that would let you watch the Players meeting.

Trophies for divisions of at least 2 or more players.

All players will receive a 1 month FREE subscription to the Disc Golf Network. You will receive your code at event check-in! (Code expires May 26,2021)

Pro Payouts: We will payout 40% of the Pro divisions. Payouts will be issued via Paypal within 48 hours of completion of the event.

Amateur Payouts: We will payout 45% of the Amateur divisions. Payouts will be posted and a DGVT merchandise voucher will be filed in our system for those players. All amateur divisions play for merchandise credit to the DGVT Pro Shop. 2020 and 2021 credit must be redeemed by Dec.31.2021.

Acepot: $1 from each players registration goes to the acepot. If there are no aces then the acepot will roll over to DGVTour #2.

EDGE: $2 from each players registration goes to the Vermont EDGE Program. This program will enable DGVT to work with local schools and communities to build new courses and get discs in the hands of our youth.

Playoffs: In the event of a playoff, players will play the course in order starting at hole #1 and format is sudden death. First player to win a hole with a lower score wins the playoff.

Tee Times (both days): Tee times will be posted Thursday, April 22nd for Saturdays round ( pdga.com). After all players are off the course Saturday we will work as fast as we can to get tee times posted for Sundays round. Our hope is to have those posted before 8pm Saturday night. Again, visit pdga.com, go to events and find our event on the list and that is where you will find your tee time. ALL players are expected to arrive approx. 30-45 minutes before the posted tee time and will be expected to leave within 30-45 minutes after the round scores have been submitted. When arriving for your tee time, please go directly to the scoring tent ( which will be setup near hole #1 in the side parking lot.) and check in approx 15 mins prior to your tee time. Players need to start at the listed tee time so that we do not create backups throughout the day, so PLEASE be prompt and tee at your EXACT tee time. We will be keeping an eye on this and assisting where and if needed.
