Welcome to the Centennial Chain Crash 2020 presented by Grip Equipment!

TEE TIMES have been posted. You can find your tee time at the PDGA event page here:

https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/47264

Please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your tee time. I would actually recommend 45-60 minutes as you would for a normal tournament. There should be a practice basket available, next to Tournament Central, but little to no room to warm up. PLEASE DO NOT WARM UP ON 12'S FAIRWAY. You will not be able to warm up on the course as players will be on the field. I would recommend warming up at West Middle School and the elementary school prior to coming to the course.

PARKING: There's about 25 spots in the lot closest to tournament central. There's another estimated 25 spots at Hole 1. After that, there is some business parking across 9th Street from tournament central. If you use that, I would recommend parking closer to Crimson & Brews rather than Tortas Jaliscos.

TOILETS: A portable toilet has been rented and is located at Tournament Central and would be available from Holes 3 / 7 / 15.


STARTING HOLE: We are starting at Hole 3 instead of Hole 1.


SCORING: We will be utilizing the PDGA online digital scoring application. It is not an app you have to download, rather you use it directly from their website at pdga.com/score. The access code is ‘GRIPEQ’. I will also have paper scorecards for you to use as a backup, but the official score is the online digital scoring. You will be required to submit your scores via this application.

- When you are done with your round, you need to ‘Finalize’ your score. This is not the same as just putting in your score for the last hole. You will get to a screen that lists each player with a Red X next to your name. After the whole card has reviewed your scores comparing them to the paper backup and confirmed if the score is correct, you need to tap on the player’s name and enter their PDGA number if they have one, or enter their last name. Once you have done this, your score has officially been submitted and cannot be altered with the exception of any penalties levied by a TD. If you have played a provisional on any hole, do not confirm the score until after you have discussed the scenario with the TD.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A NO-SHOW OR LATE PLAYER: If a player has missed their turn to tee off, they get Par + 4 for each hole they missed (7 on Par 3, 8 on Par 4). If they show up when the card is halfway done with a hole, they have missed that hole and can start on the next hole. If a player does not show up for the entire event, keep giving them Par+4 for each hole (don’t try to remove them) and inform the TD on duty so we can then remove them from the system. If you cannot make it, please let me know as soon as possible before your tee time. It is too late to get a refund, but if you let me know before your tee time I will mail you your player pack.

PLAYER PACKS / PAYOUTS / AWARDS: All players, Pro and Am, will get an annual Maverick DG Christmas mini. Amateurs will also get a tournament stamped disc, a list of which is included at the end of this email. All divisions will have a trophy for first place with the Recreational division having a First, Second and Third place trophy. All payouts will be done as each division finishes. Recreational divisions are player pack and trophy only. The remaining Amateur divisions will pay 40-45% of the field in additional merchandise payout. Pro divisions will pay approximately 40% with check or Paypal Goods & Services. AMATEURS: Merchandise payout must be used at this tournament or will be forfeited. If you think you may be receiving merchandise payout, you need to wait until your division has finished in order to collect your award / payout.

TIES: For all divisions other than MPO, if there is a tie for first place, we will use this method to award the trophy. Comparing the scoring of those that are in the first place tie, the first to win a hole (birdie, par, boggie, doesn't matter) will win the trophy. If those players have the same score for that hole, we'll go to the next hole(s) until a winner is determined. We are using this method because with tee times it is not possible to play off for the trophy. The 'winnings', if applicable, will be split between those that tie; this method is only to award the trophy. For MPO, if there is a tie, a playoff will be required until a clear winner is determined.

VENDING: Maverick Disc Golf will be vending the event. All payouts must be used via Maverick the day of the event. No carryovers will be allowed as this is the last event of the year.

COURSE NOTES: Attached to this email is the course rules, pars and distances and a course map.

I believe that should cover it for all information you may need. If I haven’t addressed something, please let me know.

We are officially moving forward with the Chain Crash to one round on tee times. I have issued refunds to those that have overpaid on the old scale when it was two rounds.

We are also increasing the field size to 100.

Your specific assigned tee times will be done Friday, 11/27.

The TENTATIVE tee order will be (presuming it fills to 100)

8 - 8:45 Recreational MA3
9 - 9:15 Rec / Int Women
9:15 - 10:15 Intermediate
10:15 - 11 Age protected Advanced
11 - 12 Advanced
12 - 1 Pro divisions

The course is currently set fairly short as we planned on doing two rounds. On Sunday we will be moving 6 of the baskets to longer positions to increase the challenge at Cent.

1. Short > long right if possible, otherwise long left
2. Short > Long
3. Keep short, makes for a tough green.
4. Keep stump
5. Keep middle
6. Keep short - provides better social distancing off of 3/7 tees.
7. Short > Long
8. Alt tee (right tee box) to long ping
9. Long straight > long right
10 Same (top dance floor)
11. Only
12. Same (Right)
13. Original right tee box to short with painted line OB behind it at water line (if there is not water)
14. Same
15. Same - long
16. Short same
17. Short > Long
18. Same hobbit hole.

Earlier I emailed that due to a tightening of the Douglas County COVID restrictions that we would be moving to one round on tee times. That is still the plan, one round only on tee times.

To give better value to players due to only one round, I am decreasing the entry fees.

Division / Original / Modified
PRO, $54 down to $30 ($4 goes to fees/expenses)
ADVANCE $45 down to $30
INTERMEDIATE $40 to $30
RECREATIONAL $32 to $22

$54 for Pros for one round is just too steep, so I'm decreasing it to $30 with $4 going towards fees and expenses.

The player pack for Ams will be reduced in size. Originally it was a tournament stamped disc, the annual Christmas mini, and a towel. I'm dropping the towel and will keep those for a tournament next year. It will just be the disc and Christmas mini. As always, Recreational is Player Pack and trophy only. Intermediate and Advanced will have additional merchandise payout awarded based on finish. As this is the last tournament, you do need to use it at the event, which means that you may have to wait for all the cards in your division to finish to see if you won additional payout or not.

For each division, I will do the payouts as that division finishes.

Regarding the course, it is currently set fairly short anticipating doing two rounds in one day on reduced daylight. As we are only doing one round, if time and weather permits, we'll likely be stretching the course longer. There really isn't an option of doing additional temp holes past the original 18.

I'm going to wait until next week before I start refunding the difference in entry fees because there is still a possibility that the tournament will simply be cancelled. Instead of doing one refund now, and then another in 6 days, I'm going to wait until the city gets back to me if we will be allowed to move forward with the event.

I'm also likely to increase the field size from the current 72 players but will also wait until next week before doing so.

Thank you for your understanding,

Good morning, 

I was informed by the City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department that for now we can still hold the event but need to modify the format to ensure that we do not have any more than 15 people together at one time.

As of this time, we will be moving to a tee time format of groups of 3 or 4 players at a time with a minimum of 12 minute intervals.  This will keep any large gathering to less than 15 people.  I will also require that when you are in the Tournament Central shelter, even though it is outdoors, that you use a face mask. 

The order of tee times, as of now and subject to change is:
Recreational
Rec / Int Women
Intermediate
AM50
AM40
Advanced
Open Women
Open
Tee times would start at 8am.

There is a possibility that the tournament will be completely cancelled.  I probably won't know that until Monday, Nov. 23.

There is also a possibility that if the tournament is not cancelled, that I could expand the field to higher than 72 because of the tee times.  Again I won't know that until at least Monday, 11/23.

Regarding the loved Grip Equipment CTP throw off, that won't be able to happen.  The bags will still be available if a hole-in-one (Ace) is hit.  If not aces are hit we will then have a raffle from those that paid into the ace fund to award the available bags.

If you need to withdraw from the event, I completely understand.  I will extend the time limit to withdraw without a $5 handling fee until 9 AM Tuesday, 11/24.  If the event is cancelled, everyone will receive a refund without any handling fees other than the dgscene and Paypal handling fees that I cannot refund.

After consulting with the Lawrence Parks Department, this tournament will be capped at 72 players. It will not expand to 90 even if the weather permits like we've done in the past. The waitlist is c ... show more ›

After consulting with the Lawrence Parks Department, this tournament will be capped at 72 players. It will not expand to 90 even if the weather permits like we've done in the past. The waitlist is capped at 5 people; we're currently at 10 so no additional people will be added to waitlist until it drops below 5.
