The Patriot Tournaments Information
Thanks for registering for one/both of The Patriot tournaments this weekend! This is NOT the player meeting; this is merely a bunch of information that you may find useful for playing in the event. There is an on site player meeting.
Huge thanks to these people/organizations to help make this event possible: Discraft, Disc Baron, Michigan Disc Golf Oragnization, and the Hunt family.
Course Location: 9306 E. Dodge Rd. Otisville, MI 48463, Otisville, MI, 48463
https://goo.gl/maps/hErSipdFkMfWLiwA6 Enter the residential driveway and take the gravel drive to the right. DO NOT SPEED.
Course Information: This is a private course and all rules must be followed. Anyone found to be violating rules will be disqualified and lose the privilege of playing at the course in the future. There is a lot of water features on this course and the chances of loosing discs is highly possible. It is recommended that you have extra discs/discs that you do not care about if you lose them.
General Course Rules: Do not enter any bodies of water for any reason. Do not cross fences to collect any discs that may have unfortunately thrown over. Do not speed on the gravel drive. Do not litter or destroy any features on the course.
Saturday Lunch: Unfortunately, Bruce’s Bad Ass BBQ has other commitments and will not be there. There is not much in terms of places nearby for lunch. There are VERY few options in nearby Otisville. I do not think you will have time to drive to Davison and get back in time. I would urge you to plan to be on site for lunch.
Sunday Lunch: Fortunately, Bruce’s Bad Ass BBQ will be on site to lunch. As above, there is VERY limited options in nearby Otisville and I would not recommend trying to drive to Davison and back. I would urge you to plan to be on site for lunch.
Weather Outlook: It looks like there are chances of rain for both days. I would recommend that you take the appropriate actions to stay dry as possible on the course. We will play through rain and I follow all the PDGA rules for hazardous play. I would be sounding the air horn 3 times to suspend play if necessary. All players need to leave the course.
Late Withdrawls: This is the section of the PDGA Competition Manual that covers where we are now just a few days before the event. There are no walk up registrations for this event and also the wait list will be refunded by 10pm the night before the event. If you do need to do this, go to the event page here on DiscGolfScene, hit registered players, and then hit Withdraw. This is the official way to leave the tournament.
Players who officially request to withdraw from an event within 14 days of the start of the event and prior to the event’s published closure of registration and waitlist replacements (within one week is recommended) will receive a 100% cash refund minus up to a $10 handling fee ONLY if their spot in the tournament is filled through either the waitlist or a walk-up entry (if offered). If the player’s spot is NOT filled, the TD has the choice to provide EITHER a 25% cash refund OR just the player’s pack they would have received if they had attended (minus the cost of shipping). In the case of a player in a Pro division for an event without a Pro player pack worth at least 25% of the Entry Fee, the TD will provide the 25% cash refund.
Players who do NOT officially request to withdraw from a registered spot playing in the event prior to the published closure of registration and waitlist replacements and don’t play (aka a no-show), forfeit their entry fee and do NOT receive a refund or player’s pack. This does NOT apply to a waitlist player; 1.03.B.
All cash payouts will be via PayPal within 24 hours of the end of the event.
Berth allocations have been posted on DiscGolfScene.
There will be water on the course in 2 locations. Please do not consider this your sole source for water/drinks for the day. This is merely for convenience while on the course and be mindful of proper hydration throughout the day as you play.
All additional buys by players (discs/shirts) can be picked up between Round 1 and Round 2 at tournament HQ. There is a print out available in case you do not remember if you ordered anything with your registration. If you NEED that disc, I can make arrangements to make that happen.
