THIS EMAIL WENT TO ALL REGISTERED EMAIL ADDRESSES:
Welcome to the inaugural Bartlett Bout presented by Prodigy Disc!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EMAIL. WE ARE NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL PLAYER MEETING…THIS EMAIL IS YOUR PLAYER MEETING.
If you are receiving this email because you used your email when signing up another player for the event, please forward this info to that player.
THANK YOU SPONSORS:
HUGE THANK YOU to Prodigy Disc Golf for their title sponsorship.
Thank you also to the Saint Joseph Disc Golf Club.
DIVISIONS / DATES:
Everyone is playing two rounds on Sunday, March 20th on a shotgun start. Round one hole assignments have been posted on the PDGA event page. HOWEVER - Please recheck your hole assignments after you check in to make sure they did not change.
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/56258
Round two shotgun start time and hole assignments will be posted at the same link.
>> As a reminder - you still need to check in with the Course Director from 8:15 - 8:50 Sunday morning. Check in will be located near Holes 6-7 by the intersection of Bryce Road and Southwest Parkway.
LATE WITHDRAWAL / NO-SHOW
It is past the cutoff to request a refund. If you cannot make it and notify me at 785-764-2229 or prior to tee time, you will still receive your player pack. To cancel, text or call your name and division, with comment you are canceling to the tournament director at 816-800-1912 or Rob at 785-764-2229.
PARKING -
Parking can be a bit problematic. This is some parking north of Hole 1 tee pad and 18’s basket. You might find some parking along side roads. Please allow extra time to find a parking spot and carpool if you can. Please do not park anywhere along the road that is near a golf fairway.
RESTROOMS
Restrooms are located at the playground north of the disc golf couse.
CHECK-IN
Check-in is from 8:15 am - 8:50 am near Holes 6-7 by the intersection of Bryce Road and Southwest Parkway. All players, Pro and Am, need to check in. If you don’t check in, I will presume you are a No Call, No Show and you may be scratched from the event.
SCORING
We will be using the PDGA digital scoring system. (This is not Udisc). To access it, go to pdga.com/score. Enter in the password, then your last name or PDGA number, and the card will pull up. I will have paper scorecards as a backup. You can also use udisc as a backup. However, to submit the scores, it needs to be done through the PDGA scoring system.

CADDY BOOK
Hole lengths, pars, and OB rules are listed in the PDGA app while you are keeping score. Nova Politte, your Tournament Director onsite, has created this awesome caddy book as well.

COURSE CONDITIONS / INCLEMENT WEATHER
There are no known adverse conditions.
The tournament plays rain or shine or snow. If there is lightening, the Tournament Director will sound the air horn in three quick blasts and then repeat it again one minute later. If this happens, do not finish your hole. Mark your lie with a rock or a stick (something heavy) and seek shelter. We then suspend play until thirty minutes after the last lightening event. The restart time will be communicated by the tournament director and posted on the dgscene and facebook event pages.
PLAYER PACKS
All amatuer players will receive a tournament stamped Prodigy disc. Recreational division will also receive an additional Prodigy factory second disc.
Disc molds and color choices are on a first come, first serve basis. This list of available discs is for you to help do some research ahead of time to make the process faster.
Prodigy choices:
A4 400 (approach)
F5 400 (fairway)
MX-3 400 (midrange)
PA1 350G (putter)

WATER
We are working on having water on the course, but at this time it has not been confirmed. You should be prepared to bring enough water for yourself. The water on the course is a back-up.
BONUS PRIZES
ROUND ONE PRIZE: If you have the Hot Round of your whole division (not your card, but the whole division) you will get a Hot Round mini. They are not much, only a mini, but the only way you can get one is by having the Hot Round, so it’s kind of cool.
ROUND TWO PRIZE: If you win your card, you win a prize from the white prize box that is called the Toy Box. Typical items are sticker sheets, can coolers, license plate frames, etc.
LUNCH BREAK / ROUND 2
We will have an approximately 1 hour lunch break after the last card is completed before starting round 2. Round two hole assignments will not be the same as round one. Round two will be found at the same pdga even link:

IF YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW
If you decide for any reason that you don’t or can’t play the second round, please tell Nova Politte, the onsite Tournament Director. This is crucial as it will affect others on how the second round is organized.
ACE / CTP FUND
If you paid into the ace fund during registration you are included in this. If you didn’t pay in you can skip to next section.
Thank you for participating into the Ace Fund. With all Maverick DG events, the Ace fund is paid out as large ticket items and not as cash. This is one of the ways MavDG is ‘maverick’ and it helps to pay for tournament expenses. I determine the payout items so that what is given out is higher than what was paid in so both the winner and the tournament benefits.
PRIZES:
Normally we have multiple items from the presenting sponsor for the Ace Fund prizes. At the time this tournament order was placed, large ticket items were out of stock. So we are substituting these items in their place.
Qty 1 Prodigy BP-1 V3 (Retail value $140)
Qty 2 Prodigy BP-2 V3 (Retail value $90 ea)
Qty 1, Combination Prodigy Putter Pocket ($43) and Shoe Bag ($20)
As always, the retail value of the prizes meets or exceeds 150% of value that was paid in.
Please note: If there is a tie for first place in your division, we may start the CTP game before your playoff is done. If you super duper rather play the CTP game than for the First Place Trophy, you can always forfeit the playoff. I would ask you though - why are you playing in a tournament if not to win the prize of First Place?

CTP / Ace throw off - Maverick style
AWARDS / PAYOUTS
To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. Awards will be given out as soon as the clear winner has been determined. If you think you may be getting a trophy, please stick around to take it home with you as we won’t be able to mail them. Unclaimed trophies can be collected at our Olathe, KS store.
PRO PAYOUTS can be either a check mailed to you to save fees, or via PayPal Goods and Services (winner pays fees) based on what you chose during registration.
AM PAYOUTS can either be redeemed via our webstore, maverickdiscgolf.com or in person at our physical store in Olathe, KS at 600 E. Santa Fe St. Ste C. At this time the webstore only has about 20% of what the physical store does. We are working to get more listed.
All payout vouchers for all Maverick DG vended tournaments in 2022 expire 12/31/2022.
TROPHIES
There is a First Place trophy for all divisions. Additionally there is a 1st and 2nd for Intermediate and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Recreational (MA3)
PDGA POSTING
My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Monday evening.
THANK YOU
I want to sincerely thank you for choosing to play in Maverick Disc Golf events, and particularly the Bartlett Bout. If you are a first timer, I hope you enjoy it!
