COVID-19 Guidelines
• PDGA LIVE SCORING will be utilized all weekend. Access codes will be provided Saturday AM at Tournament Central. Paper scorecards will be provided to all players in their player’s pack. I HIGHLY encourage all cards to keep a paper back-up. It is good practice and technology does fail.
• Per the Indiana mask mandate, proper facial coverings are REQUIRED at check-in, awards, and any place where a minimum of 6-feet of social distance is not achievable. (Over nose and mouth!) For the safety of all volunteers, staff, and players please mask up!
• Do not touch other peoples equipment during the round.
• Verbal congratulations are encouraged rather than high fives, fist bumps, or hugs.
• If you feel sick, do not play. If you start to feel sick during the round, please stop playing and remove yourself from the tournament.
• FDGC inventory will be on site…. facial coverings and a limited # of people will be allowed to look at the discs at one time.
