Big Sioux
We will be doing check and players meeting near the shelter by 18s basket starting at 9am. Players meeting will be 9:40 and first round will start at 10
Each player will get a free raffle ticket, we will be giving away 3 raffle items after the second round right before payouts. In addition we are selling raffle tickets, 1 for $3, 3 for $5, 10 for $10. At the end of the year we will be raffling off some cool stuff (LVC Bag, compact Zuca cart, basket, LVC Nate Sexton Firebird, LVC Heimborg Toro, April Fools Sexton Firebird, free tournament entries and more)
Second round will start 1 hr after the final card is completed. I will post on the FB page an official start time and it will also be on the pdga page once the second round hole assignments are up.

Live Scoring - one person from each card must keep live score on
www.pdga.com/score. Code is big. In addition to that please have someone keep a backup scorecard on either udisc or a paper version just to verify the scores.
If no aces are hit during either round then we will do a throw off for 50% of the ace pot. The remaining 50% will go towards the course fund for LLC in Spirit Lake Iowa.
OB Rules:
For this event we are going to keep the OB very simple, any sidewalk plays as a river throughout the entire course, if you land fully surrounded by asphalt take your shot from the last place it was in bounds with a stroke penalty.
The other OB will be fully surrounded by water anywhere that it is.
If you are a newer player here are a few things you might want to know more about.
1. Check out tourney rules on pdga
https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual-disc-golf-events
2. 3 minute rule, if the entire card is looking for a disc for 3 minutes the disc is declared lost and you must either throw from where it went OB if there is OB or you must throw from your previous lie with a 1 stroke penalty.
3. During tournament rounds there is no practice allowed, even if there is a backup you can’t practice by throwing or putting.
4. If you are late to your tee time and you miss holes, you will take a par +4 on each hole that you miss. You cannot play the holes later or try and play them to catch up to your card.
5. There must be a minimum of 3 players on your card. If enough players don’t show up to make 3 then you need to split and go to a different card.
6. Mini or marker, you can’t pick up your disc to throw the same disc without using a mini. The other option would be to throw a different disc and leave your previously thrown disc where is landed and throw behind it.
7. Provisional - a provisional is a throw that is used when you don’t know something for sure. For example on an Island hole, if your disc is close to being in bounds but you can’t tell from the tee, you can call a provisional and throw again in order to save you time from potentially walking back to the tee if you get to the island and your disc is out of bounds. Another example would be if you and your card mates can’t agree on if your inbound on a certain shot, you can play a provisional and play it both ways then come to the tournament director after the round to discuss with your card.
8. Payouts, if you are playing amateur, after the final round of the tournament is done we will calculate the winnings which normally takes 15-20 minutes and then we will announce all of the individuals that earned a payout for each division, if you are in the top 40% of your division you will more than likely receive some sort of merchandise credit to be used that day on Discs, Sunglasses, Apparel, etc..
