Welcome to the 2021 Kanza Krush 2022 presented by Innova


PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE EMAIL. IT CONTAINS INFORMATION YOU NEED FOR THE TOURNAMENT.



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:



Thank you to Innova Champion Discs. They provided the Ace Fund prizes and help support the event with Glow Champion discs.





DIVISIONS / DATES:



Everyone is playing two rounds on Saturday, May 14th on a shotgun start. Round one hole assignments will be posted at link below before Friday afternoon.



https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55395



Pool A (Long Pads) which includes the Open, Advanced, Advanced 40+ and Advanced 50+ will start at Kanza Park.



Pool B (Short Pads) which All Women, Intermediate, Recreational and Juniors will start at Forest Park.





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 for an Am, and for the Pros I’ll mail you a towel. It’s not required, but I appreciate the heads up. No call, no show forfeits your player pack and entry fee.



To cancel, text or call your name and division, with a comment you are canceling to 785-764-2229.



PARKING -



Kanza Park - while I did not get express permission this year, in the past it has never been a problem to park in the business lots near Hole 18 or the parking lot to the south of the road right before pulling into the park.



Forest Park - there are various spots to park throughout the course. I would recommend parking near the baseball diamonds. Please do not park along any of the fairways as sometimes players like to throw over the out-of-bounds lines.



RESTROOMS



Kanza Park has a portable restroom.



Forest Park has public restrooms that will be open.





CHECK-IN



Check-in is from 8:00 am - 8:45 am at the course you start at near the shelter for Hole 1 at Forest and the (only) shelter at Kanza.. 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. Tee time for round one will be 9:00 AM.





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: kanza7



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:



Kanza: KANZA KRUSH KANZA PARK OB RULES



Forest: KANZA KRUSH FOREST PARK OB RULES



Course map are at the end of each course OB Rule Sheet



COURSE CONDITIONS



As of Thursday night, bothe courses were mowed well and mostly dry.



AMATEUR PLAYER PACKS



All Amateurs will receive a tournament stamped disc along with a Maverick DG hat.



For the Amateur player pack discs, you get your choice of one of the following, all Innova of course.



Pro Shryke

R-Pro Rhyno

XT Avatar

Luster Champion Wraith

GStar Sidewinder

Star Gator

Star Leopard3

Shimmer Star Roc3

Shimmer Star Mystere



You can find descriptions of the discs here:

WATER


While there will be at least one water cooler on each course near tournament central, 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.




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 or Nathan the Assistant TD. This is crucial as it will affect others on how the second round is organized.



LUNCH BREAK / ROUND 2



We will have an approximately 1 hour lunch break after the last card is completed before starting round 2. You will be moving to the other course for the second round. It is quite possible that Round 2 tee time will not be the same for each pool. You can find your hole assignment and tee time for the second round at the pdga event page:



https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55395





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. 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.



Each pool will have their own Ace Funds and the CTPs will be done on the course you finished at. This will help to facilitate the CTP throw off as quickly as possible and if you did not win additional payout (next section) you can leave the event.



PRIZES:

I’m still working on what the items will be, but they will be Innova larger ticket items and Maverick vouchers if needed based on participation level. The prizes will equal at least 140% of what 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. I realize that this policy has changed in the past and I’m trying to be consistent with it. 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?



AWARDS / PAYOUTS



To decrease the amount of congregation we will not have a formal awards ceremony. The awards will be given to the winner after the second round at the course you finish.



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. The Pros will finish at Forest Park where Rob will be directing.



AM PAYOUTS have the choice of the following:

Inventory I have on-hand (this will be limited)

Redeemed at the Olathe store before the end of the year (this is the most options)

Online code to be used at my webstore maverickdiscgolf.com. If you choose the webstore, it will charge you shipping and sales tax on what is beyond the payout code. Only about 35% of my store inventory is listed online. All Am payouts regardless of which course you finish on will be done at Forest Park.



As a reminder, All Recreational Divisions and all Junior Divisions are player pack and trophy only with no additional payout.



PDGA POSTING



My goal is to have the 'official' results posted to the PDGA by Sunday evening, 5/15.





THANK YOU

Hi Rob, my son Josiah (14yrold) and I are hoping to sign up and play this tournament. Any chance of his being on the same card with me again. He will probably sign up as either rec or int. I will be signing up as ma50 or ma40. I have really appreciated your willingness to do this previously in the past. I will certainly understand if it is not possible this time. Thanks for all you do for the disc golf community!
