The 2025 Lake Chabot New Year's Classic returns in a similar format to the 2024 event. We will be playing on the "traditional" disc golf course at Lake Chabot Golf Course with some twists thrown in for extra fun.

This event IS NOT on the "Big Course" with Hill and Bay. Those will return, though!

The event will be 2 rounds of 20 holes each day. The field is split into two pools:
A Pool: MPO, MP40, MP50, MA1
B Pool: FPO, MA2, MA40, MA50, FA1, FA2, Juniors (if requested, please reach out!)

Shotgun Start: Saturday Jan 4th, 2025 and Sunday Jan 5th, 2025
Morning: B pool, 20 holes
Afternoon: A pool, 20 holes

Spots are VERY limited. 50 Players for each Pool (see pool breakdown above). Early Registration (within the guidelines laid out below) will be available for an $80 Tee Sign Sponsorship.

Divisions will be limited to certain sizes at first but will open up depending on the total number of signups in each division closer to the tournament date. If you are on the waitlist for a "capped" division, we will do our best to get you in as long as the total number of players in each pool remains below 50.

Players pack's for AMs will feature a LCNYC tournament-stamped premium disc from Innova. Players will choose disc at check in. We will have some sweet specialty plastic to choose from! All AMs will also get a $25 'coupon' for gear or discs from Whirlwind Disc Golf so you can choose your own players pack items from the store. (Towels? minis? umbrellas? more discs? you can spend it on whatever you want)

We will have a small selection of LCNYC discs for sale at the tournament.

~Transparency in Player Cost~
There will be pass through fees for this event. Of a players net entry fee:
$20 for Facility Fees (Rental of the Lake Disc Golf Course at Lake Chabot)
$2 is PDGA Fees
$2 is TD Fees
$50 is Players Packs (for Ams)
The rest of the entry fee will be going towards payouts for Pros and Script for AMs.

~Making Space for Women~
Women will have access to early registration, as well as a $10 discount on both the Pro and Ams side (compared to the Mixed registration Fee)

***All divisions initially offered to mixed divisions (e.g. MP40) will also be initially offered to female divisions (e.g. FP40) to allow players to sign up for the division they most prefer. We will try our best to host every division that has sufficient interest!

~Use of Limited Exceptions~
Our team will ensure that the use of limited exceptions (hole sponsorships & volunteers) meet the criteria and intent established by 1.02 in the PDGA competition manual. The number of players gaining entry into the event using these exceptions will not exceed 33% of any given pool (Pro or AM)
