Players Pack
All amateur players will receive a players pack each event. Due to limited supplies and availability, players' packs will vary between 1-3 items each event. Expect any combination of shirt, disc, hat, mini, grip/chalk bag, towel, snacks and a few miscellaneous goodies. Each event will have different variety so to all who are playing every event will not have 6 of the same item. (Full player pack details will be given as we approach closer to the event)

Exact player pack costs will be taken out of the entry fee, nothing more! Our goal is to keep those costs around $15-20 per event. In the event our costs are less, the difference will be put into payouts.

All female divisions will have additional goodie bag items courtesy of Megan Sumner and Smooth Disc Golf!

Points Breakdown:
Points will be earned at each event of the series and will be tracked on Disc Golf Scene. Top earners for the Spring #1-3 and Summer #1-3 events will earn trophies for each respective half. Top earners of the whole series including the finale will earn trophies and payouts. Professional divisions will earn cash and amateur players will earn payouts through Smooth Disc Golf.

Spring Series: Only the three Spring events count towards Spring total
Summer Series: Only the three Summer events count towards Summer total

Overall: Up to 5 events out of 7 will be counted for the overall total. Meaning, your lowest two events will be dropped including any event you did not attend. The Finale will be worth double the points.

3 points for playing
1 additional point per player beat (including ties. Ties for 1st place will give 1st place points to the winner and 2nd place points to all others) )

20 player division example:
1st place 22 points
2nd place 21 points
3rd place 20 points
…
20th place 3 points.

20 player division example with ties
1st place 22 points
2nd and 3rd place tie 21 points
4th place 19 points
…
20th place 3 points.

DNF’s will result in only 3 points.


Player’s who are forced out of a division due to a rating change can bring 50% of the points UP to their new divisions as long as they did not play that event in both divisions.If a player chooses to play both days, they will keep the points of the higher division regardless of their placement in the lower division. No points can be dropped to a lower division.

Double Dipper Example:
Player A earns 5 points in MA3 on Saturday and 20 points in MA4 on Sunday. Their MA3 point total will stay at 5 regardless if they are later moved up due to rating.

Women's Early Registration
All female players will have their registration open 24 hours before all other divisions. I would love to provide as much space as there is demand to play. Divisions with 3 or more players will be guaranteed for the event .If no one signs up for a division, those spots may be reallocated to other divisions.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Waitlist
If you’re interested in playing but your division is full, please join the waitlist! Waitlist will be the full cost of the event but will be fully refunded minus DGS/Paypal fees if you do not get in.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Card Groupings
We will do our best to group you with your division in 4 somes. Last minute no shows or drop outs may create 5 somes and mixed groups.

In the result enough player's drop to create a two-some for a tee time, you may be asked to be bumped forward or backward a tee time.
