Players,

Snowy Stafford is a one round shotgun start event with a final nine at Stafford Woods DGC Sunday 3/27.
All players must sign in. Sign in at canopies in parking lot. Players who have not signed in will lose their spot to the wait list players who will be on site and are ready to play.
The parking lot will fill so as the lot gets full, we will have people directing you as to where to park.
There will be a short in person players meeting Sunday at 8:30am. Round 1 cards are mixed mostly by rating. Final nine cards will be made using round 1 scores.
For the unvaccinated; Masks that cover your mouth and nose are required when you sign in or any other time you are near the store, tournament central, and in your groups if you can’t socially distance.
Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.
Amateur player package is disc by choice made during registration. We will have a table with those discs when you sign in. Pick up your players pack before the round.
Your starting hole for the round is listed at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/55931. In the morning check again your starting hole to confirm nothing has changed. Changes should be very unlikely and only if absolutely needed.
Some cards may have 3 people; if it is time to start and you only have 1 or 2 people you cannot start; wait where you are for the next group and play with them keeping scores separate. The person who does not show up gets par plus four for every hole they miss.
Each card must have two people keeping score. Open person must keep score via the PDGA website and another person any other way you want. Udisc is a common way for the second person to keep score.
We have set up layouts on the PDGA site. PDGA.comscores code Snow
For OB rulings, group decision is needed. If you can’t decide, give the benefit to the player; when in doubt play a provisional. Player must declare loudly they are playing a provisional.
Keep an eye on where you land. You only get 3 minutes to search for your disc before it is officially lost.
No two-meter rule; no special island rules. Everything is standard PDGA rules.
Bring plenty of water; and this may be a good time for this year to wear sunscreen & bug spray.
The B.S. Bochantin Upshot store will be open during the entire event. We accept venmo, paypal & cash

For those swapping their unwanted plastic, give us your discs before round 1. We will value them as you play, and you will receive a script card for the value to use when you finish the round. We are not accepting any swaps after you finish round 1. Due to a massive influx of used Innova discs please expect $1 for Shark, Leopard, Teebird, Beast, Wraith, Katana & Groove
A maximum of 36 people will move onto the final 9. If we have a 2 way tie at 36th place neither will get in, if we have a 3 way tie at 35th place none of them will get in, etc. Final payout is based on Round 1 plus final 9. We will be paying out approximately the top 40%. All winners will be receiving a script card to spend at the store. Please stay for your winnings.
For any first-place tie breaker playoffs, start hole 1 shortest tee and shortest basket and continue all holes doing shortest to shortest.
We have currently collected $175 for the ace pot. If you did not pay online, you can pay as you sign in. For the side game for 'Ace Pot/Side Games' we will be doing a CTP (Closest to Pin) for hole 9 from short tee which will happen after round 1 and before final 9 starts. Each player who has paid in is eligible. Winner will receive any one item of choice for store.
Hole 3 & 7: OB pond defined by water line
Holes 6,7,9,12,14,15: OB property edge defined by fence line
Hole 5 & 16 the stakes are NOT OB
Some holes have multiple baskets in the ground. You are playing to the BLUE baskets for every hole.
Be prepared to start the second round 45 minutes after you arrive back at your vehicle after your first round.
Tip your TD as Venmo @BSUpshot or paypal [email redacted] if you so desire.
For any questions you can reach out to Brian Bochantin 267-756-3839 (text me) or facebook messenger BS Upshot -Tournaments and Shop.

Is it also to the long baskets?

Jarod Apple    March 21, 2022 at 7:02pm

Out of curiosity, Will this event be one rated round of 18 or will the final 9 be included as well?

Brian Bochantin    March 20, 2022 at 6:04pm

The B.S. Bochantin store will be set up this weekend at Stafford this Sunday from about 9am till about 3pm.
For those playing who would like to trade in unwanted discs we must have your discs before your round so we can value them as you play. For those not in the tournament please trade in after 10am.
Every PDGA legal disc you swap in will be valued $1 to $10 and you will receive a script card that can be spent on any BS Upshot merchandise.
Due to a massive influx of used Innova discs please expect $1 for Shark, Leopard, Teebird, Beast, Wraith, Katana & Groove

Here are your options:
1) Do nothing and stay registered to the new event date
2) Request a refund with players pack. We will mail you the chosen players pack disc and receive a partial refund. For example $40 entry minus a $20 disc and get $20 refund. I will cover the shipping costs.
3) Request a FULL refund. I will give you the full refund minus the discgolfscene fees.

All refund requests must come in through DiscGolfScene.

Option 2 & 3 are only valid till 2/12, after that it will go back to the standard posted refund policy.

Brian Bochantin    January 27, 2022 at 6:48pm

Officially moving Snowy Stafford to 3/27. Email will go out today about details.

Paul M Mugica    January 27, 2022 at 1:57am

Going to be cold with the wind but chance of snow is going down.

Brian Bochantin    January 26, 2022 at 11:28am

I follow several different weather models and Saturdays forecast ranges from
High 24 degrees, 20mph winds, real feel 9 degrees, Snow starting Friday late into morning 1 inch
to
High 25 degrees, 22mph winds with gusts up to 40 mph, real feel 9 degrees, Snow all day up to 5 inches, white out conditions possible.

NJ state of emergency, Camden county closes roads,Voorhees Township closes roads or Woodpeckers tell us to close. These are the only things that will cancel the event.

Ribbons are allowed

Hey Brian I’m just curious if the 40% field cut applies to amount of players who are registered at the time of registration cutoff or the actual amount of players that start round 1?

Erik Dienemann    January 24, 2022 at 10:07pm

Decent chance of a significant snowstorm for the entire area, including Stafford, starting late Friday and going through Sat pm. Good luck...

Jon Cosenza    January 22, 2022 at 3:14am

Standard OB?

Joseph Ax    January 21, 2022 at 6:05pm

Hi Brian - I assume it will be the normal long tee on 6 and not the new gold one?

Shane Nugent    January 19, 2022 at 11:04pm

Is there a waitlist?

Daryle Bokolas    December 21, 2021 at 3:45pm

Hey Brian is this tournament going to be from long or short tees? Perhaps a mix of both?
