About this tournament

Strap in and check your gear — The Aero Cup is cleared for takeoff.

This is the first PDGA-sanctioned event hosted by Circle One Disc Golf, and we’re dropping it right into Altitude Disc Golf Park like a precision airstrike (the legal kind).
Expect fast play, tight lines, and competition that doesn’t miss. This isn’t a sightseeing tour — it’s a mission.

MISSION BRIEF:
• $1,500 in added cash (earned, not given)
• 2 rounds of combat-ready disc golf
• PDGA C-Tier (active PDGA membership not required)
• Flight zone: Altitude Disc Golf Park
• Two-day operation
• Saturday, February 21 — Round 1
• Sunday, February 22 — Final Run

Flight Schedule Posted:
Squad assignments (aka pools) may change based on enlistment numbers. Final flight orders will be issued one week prior to the event.
