Welcome to 2022’s TORONTO OPEN – Presented by DiscGolfPark and ChainLink Disc Golf!

The vision of TORONTO OPEN has always been to bring people together from across the disc golf community. From brand new players, to players with 4 digit PDGA numbers, this event is for everyone. For a variety of reasons, this year's event will continue in it’s FLEX format. In an effort to showcase some of our newest work, we’ll be hosting the event at Scarlett Woods & Dentonia Park disc golf courses. We’re really proud of these courses, and believe their amenities will be a welcomed addition to the event – including heated indoor washrooms, free parking, and a subway stop within 500 ft of Hole 1 at Dentonia Park! This year’s TORONTO OPEN will be the first ever disc golf tournament on these courses, and the first ever on a City of Toronto golf course.

Similar to last year, we will be front loading the event with player’s pack items. We’re really excited for everyone to see what they are getting. All player’s packs will be picked up at Surf The Greats during their regular business hours. Surf The Greats has been a great supporter of the disc golf community in Toronto for many years - please thank them when you stop in to pick up your player’s packs. They will also be loading up on disc golf inventory, so be sure to check out what they have on offer.

If you’re coming in from out of town, we recommend checking out all the great courses in Toronto, as well as many locations carrying disc golf equipment. They are all listed via UDisc.

Here are the details about 2022’s TORONTO OPEN:


LOCATIONS:
Dentonia Park Disc Golf Course - 781 Victoria Park Ave, Scarborough, ON
Scarlett Woods Disc Golf Course - 1000 Jane St, York, ON M6N 4E2 (entrance on Eglinton)


TOURNAMENT DETAILS:
Similar to last year’s event, the tournament will be an unsanctioned, modified flex format event that consists of 1 round at Scarlett Woods Disc Golf Course and 2 consecutive rounds at Dentonia Park Disc Golf Course between March 11 - March 20. The event will be played using PDGA rules (https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf).

The 6 divisions used will ensure people are playing with players of similar caliber. Check your PDGA profile to find your rating. If you’re not sure which division you should be in, we recommend you reach out to Jeff MacKeigan or Cara Hovius before registration goes live.


• RPA Gold rating 970+
• RAH Blue rating <970
• RAD White rating <935
• RAE Red rating <900
• RAF Green rating <850
• RAG Purple rating <800

You’ll need to play with a minimum of 3 players who are registered in the tournament. What if you can’t find another person to play with? Or if you need 2 more people to make up your card? Don’t stress, the disc golf community in the 6 has your 6. Please reach out to Jeff or Cara any time and they can help set up your match. Our Toronto disc golf community is full of people who can also help connect you. We have a list of ‘Match Makers’ (see below) who are available to help you set up a card. These Match Makers are also able to provide more information about the other great courses in Toronto, as well as some of the additional disc golf stores in the city.

Important Note:
We highly recommend playing your rounds at Dentonia Park Disc Golf Course first, as the City is considering opening the golf season as early as March 17th. More details to be confirmed closer to the event.

Scoring will be completed via UDisc. Each course will have a TORONTO OPEN option. Following the completion of the event, we will tabulate scores across both courses within each division and award trophies to the top placements in the division.


PLAYER’S PACK & TROPHIES:
This event will be trophy only, with no payouts or merch out. We have been working hard to put together a very special player’s pack that well exceeds the value of the entry fee. Some of the items you can expect to find in your player’s pack include:
• TORONTO OPEN full stamped Discmania Originals Mold (driver)
• TORONTO OPEN full stamped Discmania Mold (mid-range)
• UDisc Pro Membership (emailed separately)
• TORONTO OPEN velcro patch
• Official NHL puck to help retrieve discs
• Biosteel beverage
• Lavazza Coffee package
• And some other fun things!

Player’s packs will be available for pick-up from March 16th onwards at Surf the Greats (see details below).

The top 3 players in each division will receive a steel matte black trophy which features the skyline of the City of Toronto. These will be mailed or personally delivered post-event. Thank you to our friend, Josh Mace, for the inspiration behind the trophy design and who does so much for disc golf! Make sure you check out his Summer Solstice in Midland too!

In keeping with tradition, the last place finisher in every division will receive a 4L jar of Bick’s Pickles. To quote Clay Place Jones, “There will be pickles!”.
