Initial tee time assignments will be released about 1 week before the event but there will likely be some minor changes based on dropouts so make sure to confirm your tee time each day. All cards will begin their rounds on hole 1 of their respective courses. Cards will be adjusted for round 2 after round 1 based on round 1 scores.

---------------------------

PLAYER'S PACK:
All AM players will receive a player's pack that includes a custom-stamped disc and a long sleeve 100% polyester performance shirt (Juniors will receive a custom stamped disc). Players must choose their exact shirt size during registration up until Jan 25th. After this, choose your size based on available inventory. Players will get to choose their disc from the options available during player check-in.

---------------------------

PAYOUTS & TROPHIES:

PROS - Cash payouts to the top 45% of each division via PayPal.
AMS - Scrip/store credit to the top 50% of each division to the Kayak Point DGR Pro Shop.

If there is a tie for 1st place in a division and both players are present, a sudden death playoff will be held starting on hole 1 on the course played that day. If both players are not present for the playoff, payouts will be split evenly between those who tied.

Trophies will be awarded to the 1st place winner in each division. If there is a tie for 1st place and a playoff is not completed, players will have to come to an agreement on how best to split the payouts and trophies.

---------------------------

ACE POT:
This event is part of our rolling tournament Ace Pot which grows with each event held until hit, or it reaches the cap of $1,000, at which point a backup ace pot is started. If an Ace is not hit during this event, all Ace Pot funds will continue to roll over into the rolling tournament ace pot or the backup ace pot.

---------------------------

ACE HUNT ON THE PITCH & PUTT:
On Sunday, before 5pm, play a round on the Pitch & Putt Course with a minimum of 2 other participants trying to see how many Aces you can ring up. Take 2 shots off every tee and you can count 2 aces on a single hole if both shots are Aces. Turn in your ace count slip to the Pro Shop after the round and whoever hits the most aces in a single round wins 100% of the payouts (paid via scrip to the Pro Shop). Ties will split. Enter and play as many rounds as you'd like at $5/round. Day-of sign ups also available.

---------------------------

PLAYER CHECK-IN:
Player’s must check-in inside the Clubhouse at least 15-minutes prior to their tee time. Ams can pick up their Player Packs too. Players should also be at the tee for hole 1 a minimum of 5 minutes before their tee time to check-in with the Starter who will make sure cards tee off on time.
