Welcome to the 2021 Centennial Chain Crash presented by GRIPeq!

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 Grip Equipment for their title sponsorship. They have sponsored every Centennial Chain Crash since it started in 2014. They. Are. Awesome. Their support means a lot to me and Maverick DG. I personally carry a Grip Bag and think you should too.

Thank you also to Yankee Tank Brewing Company. They donated a keg of Kyzer Bomb IPA and German Pils for everyone of legal age to enjoy after the second round.

DIVISIONS / DATES:

Everyone is playing two rounds on Saturday, November 27th on a shotgun start. Round one hole assignments will be posted sometime this evening at 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/48323

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 7 - 7:45 Saturday morning.

LATE WITHDRAWAL / NO-SHOW

At this point, it is too late to receive a refund. However, if you notify me at 785-764-2229 prior to tee time, you will still receive your player pack. To cancel, text or call your name and division, with comment you are cancelling to 785-764-2229.



PARKING -
Please use the course parking lots either at the east shelter by playground or the west lost near the skate park.

RESTROOMS

A portable toilet has been rented and will be stationed at tournament central which is the east shelter by the playground / Biemer’s BBQ.

CHECK-IN

Check-in is from 7 am - 7:45 am at the east shelter near the playground and Holes 3 / 7 / 15. 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.

Password: crash

CADDY BOOK

Hole lengths, pars, and OB rules are listed in the PDGA app while you are keeping score. You can also go to this link to find each course set up here:

COURSE CONDITIONS

There are no known adverse conditions.,

PLAYER PACKS

ALL PLAYERS, Pro and Am will receive the annual Maverick Disc Golf Christmas mini / ornament.

Ams will also receive a tournament stamped disc and your choice of a third item (see below).

You can choose one disc from either Innova or Gateway. I would suggest you review and decide on your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice.

Innova choices:

Champion Tern
Luster Champion Roc3
Star Beast
Star Invader
Star Invictus
Star TL3

Tournament discs from Gateway:

Eraser, SS, SS Hemp, SSS Blurple Wizards
SSS Shaman
Diamond Element
Diamond Illusion
Hyper Diamond Spear
Hyper Diamond Blade

You can research the discs here:

Innova: https://www.innovadiscs.com/disc-golf-discs/


Gateway: https://gatewaydiscsports.com/pages/disc-specs

The third item is your choice of one of the following:

Maverick DG waffle towel,
Or
three Thunderbird bars.


WATER

While there will be water coolers on the course I fully expect they will go dry at some point. They will be refilled as soon as possible, but you need to 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. Because of decreased daylight it will be a maximum of 1 hour.

https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/48323


IF YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW

If you decide for any reason that you don’t or can’t play the second round, please tell Rob, the 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, you can sign up when you check in if you want to. It costs $5. If neither applies, 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:
The prizes for the ace pool will be GRIPeq bags. There will be a turquoise / gray AX5 (retails $259) and a pink/gray CS2 (retails $179)


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?

For the full rules on how the Ace fund works, you can go here:

CTP / Ace throw off - Maverick style

GRIP-EQ BLACK FLYDAYS

All in stock GRIPeq bags are on sale this weekend at GRIPeq’s website, grip-eq.com



AWARDS / PAYOUTS

To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. I will give the award as soon as the clear winner is determined after the second round. PRO PAYOUTS can be either a check picked up the same day, a check mailed to you, or PayPal Goods and Services (winner pays fees) based on what you chose during registration. AM PAYOUTS can either be the same day with inventory I have on-hand, or you can receive a Gift Card code to redeem via my webstore maverickdiscgolf.com. If you choose the webstore, it will charge you sales tax and shipping. I do have some items in my tournament bins that are not available online, and I have some stuff online that is not available in my tournament bins.

All payout vouchers for all Maverick DG vended tournaments in 2021 expire 12/31/2021.

TROPHIES

There is a First Place trophy for all divisions. Additionally there is a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Recreational (MA3)

PDGA POSTING

My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Sunday evening.

Regarding the Waitlist:

The Centennial Chain Crash registration is unique due to it's time of year. We have had some years where it was 65 deg and gorgeous. We have had other years with 35 degrees and freezing rain. One year it was 50's on Saturday and we got a blizzard on Sunday.

I limit registration to 72 players. If the weather is bad, 4-somes / 72 players play noticeably faster than 5-somes / 90 players. If the weather is good, I expand it to 90.

The decision to expand is made on Thanksgiving day so that people know 2 days in advance. If it is expanded, the waitlist people get in first, which is why the waitlist will hold 18+ people. If we don't expand, you will get a full refund - not including the handling fees of Paypal and dgscene.
