Good evening and thank you for registering for the inaugural event of the Fly Guy NC Amateur Tour!

There will be NO player meeting before the event. This email serves as the player meeting. READ IT CAREFULLY AS IT DETAILS RULES OF PLAY.

Let's get the obvious out of the way - it's going to be wet, and it's going to be cold. Plan and prepare accordingly.

Sponsors - this tour would not be possible without the sponsors who have partnered with FLy Guy to put on this 11 event series.
The division sponsors are:
Bradford Wealth Management
Brown Girl Disc Golf
Dubstep Disc Golf
Wise Guys
United Traffic Services
UFO GLow Tape
Fly Guy DIsc Golf
and Dynamic DIscs.

There are still divisional sponsorship opportunities available. These are $300, and if you are interested see me for details.

Starting with tomorrow's events, we also will be taking hole sponsorships. Right now all are available except one - Kirk Yoo has the honor of being the first to pick his tee for the year. These are $100, and if you are interested see me for details.

This year the tour will crown Point Series Champions in MA1, MA40, MA50, FA1, MA2, FA2, MA3, FA3, MJ18- and MJ12-. WHile there will not be a points series champion per se for MA4 and FA4, the best overall performing novice will receive a special prize.

Point Series Champions will receive:
MA1 and FA1 - Basket
MA40 and MA50 - 50 custom putters with your likeness and PDGA #
MA2 and FA2 - FREE Entry into MA1 / FA1 for the entire 2022 season
MA3 and FA3 - Free Entry into MA2 / FA2 for the entire 2022
MJ18- and MJ12- Final prize dependent upon total series entries, but will be sweet, I promise

Now, the event tomorrow:

7:30 - We will begin registration. You will need to follow all COVID / Social distance guidelines while around the Tournament Central .
Player Pack will consist of 3 options; you will be informed of your choices at the table, and need to make a decision and proceed to your warm ups.
As of this email there is NO waitlist remaining - and I will not accept any day of registration. The field is set.

Since there is no waitlist, there is no need for a "waitlist" will call period. We will close registration at 8:30 sharp.

We will call two minutes at 8:43 by sounding a truck horn. Start will be called at 8:45 in the same manner. The woods are thick and it may be raining, so be sure to "pass it along" when you hear it.

All players are starting at 8:45. Your starting hole is posted on the PDGA event page located at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/48710 .

Format -
Singles stroke play.
Sliding scale payout , from Trophy Only for Novice, and incremental increases as divisions climb.
There ARE Trophies for all divisions; First Only in FA4 and MA4, and up to 1,2,3 in other divisions.
*Trophy purchase was made based on registration on 2/1/2021.

Scoring -
It is our desire that every card uses the PDGA live scoring system. This is NOT the PDGA App.
You access it by going to PDGA.com/SCORES
You will then enter the event code that has been emailed to you

From here it is intuitive scorekeeping like you do with Udisc.

All cards should keep a second, DIFFERENT card for score verification. This may be udisc, or a paper card ( available from Tournament Central).

DO NOT FORGET - You MUST confirm your scores in the Live Scoring system at the end of your round before leaving the tournament area.


OBs -

VERY simple
Flagged area around the pond is OB for both 1 and for 18.

On any WALKING PATH or BEYOND is OB.

Over the fence by the apartments (14) is OB.

Mando on 14, 18 - Play from previous lie with 1 stroke penalty ( per PDGA Rules for Mando without a drop zone. 804.02 C https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf/80402 )

Playground on 18 is OB.

Once the round is complete lunch will be ONE HOUR from the last finalized card.

Round two tee time and starting holes will be posted to the PDGA results page. The start time will also be posted on the Fly Guy NC Amateur Tour facebook page.


So that should be about it - we're going to have as much fun as one can given the conditions, and I know I am looking forward to seeing some folks get a great head start on the points series over those who elected not to play - who knows - at the end of the season this event may be the difference in winning and coming in second place.

Last thing - This is a PDGA event. That means PDGA competition rules of play, as well as code of conduct. If it doesn't belong in the park, leave it at home. Likewise, do not put me in the position to choose a player versus maintaining good relationships with the parks system - I'll sacrifice the player for bad conduct every time. A lot of work and cooperation goes into these facilities - and we cannot represent both the sport and the community in an ill light by breaking park rules and/or violating code of conduct protocols. Be familiar with the rules, and follow them.

See you in the morning
