Ohio Amateur Championship / Player Meeting
- Official scoring is done electronically at pdga.com/score
- Event password / access code is ohioams
- It is mandatory that each card has every player keep score per pdga rules / TD’s prefer all players keep score electronically on the digital pdga scorecard for checks and balances to ensure electronic score card accuracy and at the end of the round please make sure all players fully upload scores and confirm that fact as a group / if a player cannot get a cell connection a paper card can be kept as a last resort (however prefer all players keep score electronically via PDGA at pdga.com/score)
- Speed of play is essential so the PDGA 3 minute lost disc rule must strictly be enforced by your card / Also on holes without a spotter please spot for each other (2 players spot and 2 players throw then they switch & with this practice there should be no lost disc or searching for lost disc)/ non-playing spotters are to assist but ultimately it is the card’s decision on OB’s and the spot of OB’s etc../ a player should tee off on the 9 Par 4’s (holes 6, B, E, F, 7B, 14, 15, 16, & 17) once the group ahead of them is out of throwing range (do not wait for group to finish the hole if the group in front of you is out of throwing range) /
- A few tee pads will be flagged & painted left or right expanding the width of the pads to provide players with the most desirable footing option / if a tee is painted and flagged you can either throw off the pad or within the extended width flagged / painted area left or right of the pad
- Be at hole 1 no later than 15 minutes and no earlier than 30 minutes of your designated tee time for Rd. 1 on Saturday to ensure you have enough time to grab your large player pack and place the player pack back in your car / & 10 minutes before your tee off time for Rd. 2 on Sunday
- NO 2 Meter Rule
- OB’s are listed on electronic score card for each hole, & on the pdf attachment emailed to players previously & again attached to this email / it is also in the DOCUMENT section on the ABOUT page of disc golf scene
- 50/50 Cash CTP hole is hole 6B // 1 winner for Saturday & 1 winner for Sunday
- If no Ace is hit during the event the Ace Pool CTP will be hole 11 and that CTP will only be out on Sunday to determine the ace pool winner if no Ace is hit during the event

Now that 5/20/25 has passed all refund request would only be cash refunded at 25% per PDGA refund guidelines, but instead of the small monetary refund we would highly recommend taking the player pack option. In which player pack of $95+ value would be sent in lieu of the small monetary refund. This date has been posted on disc golf scene refund deadline since the event has been published. Our late full cash refunds less $10 admin fee which have just expired allowed 100% refund less $10 admin fee thru 5/20/25 was a much more liberal refund policy than PDGA refund guidelines. Additional full cash refunds less $10 admin fee would be considered if event reaches capacity of 230 players.

We have to be tighter with refund policies for A-tiers for player packs have been purchased for the 230-player field and are tourney specific swag and discs. We would highly recommend the large player pack option and not the 25% cash refund for we do not want your $$ we want you to have a fun experience and a good, valued A-tier event. If you request a refund and want the highly recommended player pack option, please provide mailing address with refund request. / Thanks

The $5 PDGA Fee per person, the $100 sanctioning fee, and the new specialized custom trophies (new this year) are all being sponsored by your TD. $35 of your entry fee is going toward the bonus payouts to the top 1/3 of each division. / So player $95 investment gets the player a $140 value with the ($95 player pack, $5 PDGA Fees, $35 per person going toward payouts, & $5 for incidentals of snacks, ice, sanctioning fees, and custom trophies.
