Here are the details for tomorrow's Last Call at Kenwood.
There will be a players meeting at 8:40 and we will tee at 9:00. MPO, MA1 and MA2 will be playing from the long tees, and everyone else will play from the short tees. We will play to the long (Blue) baskets both rounds. We will be playing the normal 18 hole layout.

OBsOn or across any parking lot, road, or fence.We will play the mandatory on hole 11. There will be a drop zone if you miss the mandatory.
Hole assignments have been posted on the Event Page (https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/72648)
We will be using PDGA Digital Scorecard as the official scorecard for this event. One player on each card will need to enter scores each round. If you are unfamiliar with this, the PDGA website has a tutorial at https://www.pdga.com/help/tournament-management/official-hole-scoring#scorekeeping. It is simple and easy to use. Just go to pdga.com/score and type in our access code: kenwood

You can also download and use the new PDGA Live app to keep score and it has the rule book.

A backup scorecard should also be kept for each group per PDGA guidelines. 
AFTER YOUR ROUND IS DONE EVERY PLAYER MUST CONFIRM THEIR SCORE ON THE PDGA SCORECARD PAGE. Please verify that the score is correct before confirming it on the app. If a score is incorrect and complete with the app the player will receive a 2 stroke penalty (same as the penalty for misadding your score on a paper card). If you have to play out a hole from a provisional shot or have a question about how to score a hole, come talk to me with your cardmates after the round before "completing" the scorecard. Using PDGA scoring will allow us to start the second round quicker and organise payouts faster. 
Second round will start one hour from when the last card to finish is complete with their first round. The second round start time and your starting holes will be posted on the PDGA results page https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/72648 shortly after everyone has finished their first round. If you are ready to tee off one hour from when you finished, you won't be late. There will not be players meeting before the second round. Please follow the Facebook event page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/676016061023737
Payouts for the Open division will be available in cash at the end of the day or via PayPal. If you choose PayPal, please contact me after you leave to provide the necessary information. If you want to get cash after the event you may cut to the front of the checkout line as I will have envelopes ready to go.

Payouts for AMs will be available onsite at the end of the day. Once everyone is finished with the second round, payouts will be posted on the disc golf scene event page https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Last_Call_at_Kenwood_2023. After payouts are posted you can redeem on site or at the store on a later date. Funny money earned at this event will expire 12/31/2023.
Ace Pool:
We are switching to an Optional $2 Ace Pool this season. If no one that pays into the ace pool for the event gets an ace, then the ace pool will carry over to the next event. If you are not sure if you signed up for the ace pool you should be able to check the email you received when you registered. If there are no aces in the final event of the season the ace pool will be added into the Gray Duck Tour Series payouts. The full ace pool will be paid out even if there are different layouts being played. The ace pool coming into this event is $894. There is one singular ace pool even though we may play separate layouts. If no one hits an ace in the final event of the year than the remaining ace pool will be added to the Tour Series Payouts.
Gray Duck Tour Series:This year we are trying something new. We are adding a season points series for the Amateur divisions. Here is the structure:
$1 of every AM entry goes to season payouts for the division that the player played in.

Event Points Calculation:
1st = 100 + (0.1 x players in division)
Everyone Else = 100 - ((place-1) * 30) / players in division

Total Season Points will be equal to the Top 7 events for each player in a division.

After the final event of the year the Prize pool value for each division will be equal to the total number of players that played in that division for each event combined.
The top 15% of each division's season points leaders will be paid out based on the payout calculator found here: https://texasarmytrail.com/payout.aspx using the Payout to Lower Finishers set to +5.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
