Florida Match Play Championships
Finals - February 11th @ Gran Canyon DGC
Brooksville FL
It's Disc Golf meets tournament bracket!
Players are invited to participate in the first ever state wide tournament that will feature head to head match ups that start on a local and regional setting and then culminate with the final rounds at the glorious Gran Canyon property in Brooksville FL!
How does it work?
Players can register in to one of (4) divisions:
Men - Pro or Am
Women - Pro or Am
Players MUST BE PDGA current to qualify and register! Your player rating will determine your first round seeding. Players without a player rating will receive the lowest seeds.
Preliminary rounds will take place in a local/regional setting which means players will play on courses in their city or a city nearby. Players that are matched up to play each other must agree on a course/layout/time to complete their match within a specific time frame. If players fail to complete the match within the time frame, both will be disqualified. Players must observe all course rules such as OB and also observe PDGA rules. Preliminary rounds are 18 hole matches.
Format:
Head to Head Match Play - Players will compete against one other player and by where the score is reckoned by counting the holes won by each player, as opposed to the total number of strokes thrown during the match. Each hole will either be won/lost or pushed/tied. When a player has a lead in points that exceeds the amount of remaining holes, the match is considered over.
Players who win their match will move to the next bracket.
Regions:
To make things easiest for travel in a unique state like Florida, the goal is to keep folks within a specific travel range. Here are the geographic regions:
AMATEUR:
Fort Lauderdale - Ft. Lauderdale/Palm Beach/Sunrise
Jacksonville - Gainesville/Jacksonville/St. Augustine
Melbourne - Cocoa/Melbourne/Palm Bay/Ft. Pierce
Miami - Homestead/Kendall/Miami
Orlando - Daytona/DeBary/Ocala/Orlando
Sarasota - Sarasota/Port Charlotte/Ft. Myers
Tallahassee - Live Oak/Pensacola/Tallahassee
Tampa - Clearwater/Floral City/Tampa/St. Pete
PRO:
Central - Melbourne + Orlando
North - Jacksonville + Tallahassee
South - Ft. Lauderdale + Miami
Southwest - Tampa + Sarasota
Remember, a player does not necessarily have to register in the region closest to them, they would potentially just have to play matches at courses further away.

Entry Fee - $40/All Players
Players Packs - All Amateur players will receive a players pack valued at $50+.
Payout - Pros: $35 to Payout, $5 to PDGA/Admin Fee. Ams: $10 to Payout, $25 to Players Pack & Trophies, $5 to PDGA/Admin Fee. Payout to the top 25% of the field in each division.
