Good morning,

I wanted to get this tournament email out this morning. The gang and I are super excited about the End of Summer Showdown. This will be a 2 round PDGA C-tier that will shotgun start at 9a.

The following will be the most important details for the event. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions or
comments before the event. If you have any questions or issues in regards to the tournament, please text Tony at 513-280-2213. I'll be the TD for this event.

PLEASE NOTE- We will be checking in at the shelter but there is plenty of parking throughout the park so feel free to park closer to your starting holes.

We are playing the Red 18 hole layout for both rounds. It should be a fun and challenging day for everyone. It always seems like the Reds are easy but those pesky trees always seem to find a way to get in the way!

All course particulars are in PDGA live. Basically anything on or over pavement or in the creek surrounded by water.

PDGA live code: gtown

The schedule will look like this for the day:
8-845a player check at the shelter
9a - Shotgun Start
Lunch
2nd Round
Payouts and awards

I can't stress enough, please take the short amount of time to physically check in with us. This helps us make sure that everyone is here, and there are no holes with less than 3 players. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but it causes us issues trying to figure out if you are present or not. Please, please, please, just stop by and check in with us. Thank you in advance for this! In the case that someone doesn't show up and your card has less than 3 at tee off, one player should move to the card ahead of them and the other move to the card behind them. If everyone checks in, this shouldn't be an issue.

Some cards will be mixed based on numbers in divisions.

Also, just a reminder, that any junior younger than 13 must have a parent/guardian on their card. There are many juniors now signing up in non-junior divisions, so we don't always catch this beforehand. Please advise and follow the PDGA guidelines on junior players.

We are not going to have a players meeting. It is your responsibility to know what's expected for the day and be at your hole for the start of each round. Hole assignments will be posted this evening but double check them in the morning because changes can happen. Thanks for your understanding. You can find them here: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/71099

Following the round, please give us a few minutes to get everything organized so we can hand out awards and payouts. If you are curious if you are going to get a payout, it is the top 50% per division by the PDGA for Ams and top 45% to Pros. That will help you determine if you need/want to stick around. The Open players will receive PayPal, and the AM's payment voucher. This can be exchanged for disc golf merchandise that we will have on hand.

For those who are in the ACE fund, if no ACE is hit, we will do a throw off. The winner of the throw off will win the whole ace fund.

In the event there is a tie for first place in a division, the playoff will start on hole #1 until there is a winner, playing the red layout.

This is a PDGA event, so everyone should be up to date on the PDGA's stance on what is legal and what is not legal. Please don't put us in position to make a call that we don't want to address, or should have to address.

It's going to be a great day. Please contact us with any questions you may have!

Thanks,
New Era Disc Golf
