Sweet as Candy Mixed Doubles Tournament Sponsored by FlyRite Disc Golf

Thank you for joining us for our Sweet as Candy Mixed Doubles Tournament. As the name implies, this will be a mixed doubles (1 Male Division Player, 1 Female Division Player) tournament and will follow an Alternating Throw (PDGA Rule B.05.E) Style of Play:

"1. The team chooses which member makes the first throw on the first hole. Each team member then throws from the lie resulting from the previous team member's throw, and so forth.

2. A team completes a hole when either team member completes the hole.

3. The score for a team on a hole is the number of throws by that team, plus any penalty throws.

4. A throw by the incorrect team member is a misplay and incurs one penalty throw. The throw is disregarded, and the correct team member throws. If an additional throw has been made after the incorrect team member has thrown, the team receives two penalty throws, and play continues.

5. For any re-throw from the same lie, the same player makes the re-throw.
The team receives a score of par plus four for any hole missed by a late or absent team member. If either team member withdraws or is disqualified, the team is disqualified."

EDIT: Due to some confusion about the Alternate Throw Style of Play Rules, we would like to clarify what it means:

Starting on the first hole, a team will choose an initial thrower; then, the team alternates throwers from the last throw's landing position until the hole is completed by either thrower. If Player1 completes the hole then Player2 will tee off the next hole, and vice versa. The ONLY time you will be throwing twice in a row will be in the case of a re-throw from the same lie or in the case of a provisional throw.

UDisc also has an informative article with a diagram on Alternative Throw Style of Play which can be found here: https://udisc.com/blog/post/how-to-play-disc-golf-doubles-formats-tips
