Players,

Tinicum Open is 2 rounds of 18 holes PDGA C-Tier event at Tinicum Park DGC in Erwinna, PA Saturday 11/1.

All players must sign in before 8:30am. Sign in is at the pavilion near hole 1 between holes 9&10. Starting Holes are at https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/85432

When you sign in, we will have tables set up with amateur player’s pack items. It will be a shirt or a disc.

In addition to all amateurs receiving a shirt we are having a shirt sale. All tee shirts, polos, & windbreakers will be $10 but only before the start of round 2.

Hand sanitizer is available for your use before you touch any merchandise in the store.

Check again in the morning your starting hole to confirm nothing has changed. Changes should be unlikely and only if absolutely needed.

Each card must have everybody keeping score. One person must keep score via the PDGA website and the others any other way you want. We have paper scorecards.

We have set up layouts on the PDGA site. PDGA.comscores code Tinicum

For OB and hazard rulings, group decision is needed. If you can’t decide, give the benefit to the player; when in doubt play a provisional. Player must declare loudly they are playing a provisional.

Keep an eye on where you land. You only get 3 minutes to search for your disc before it is officially lost.

Two-meter rule is not in effect

Bring plenty of water; and this may be a good time for this year to wear sunscreen & bug spray.

Projected payouts can be found at https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/manager/payouts_projected?TournID=85432

The exact numbers will change but this will give you an idea of what to expect; if people drop from your division, then the payout will be less.

The B.S. Bochantin Upshot store will be open all day. We accept Venmo or Cash.

For those swapping their unwanted plastic, give us your discs before round 1 starts. We will value them as you play, and you will receive a scrip card for the value to use when you finish the second round. We are not accepting any swaps after you start round 1. Due to a massive influx of used Innova discs please expect $1 for any DX and $2 for any Star or Champion.

For any first-place tie breaker playoffs will start on hole 1 tee playing opposite tees that division played in the rounds.

For Ace Pot, if someone hits an ace then they get the $200. If no one hits an ace we will hold a CTP with 4 winners.

Professional divisions will be paid out via paypal next week. Amateurs will receive a voucher card to spend at the store we will set up in the pavilion. Approximately top 40% will receive the voucher.

Pool B is FA1, MA3 & MA4 and play the short layout. Pool A is all the rest and play the long layout.

Beyond the canal path is OB on all holes. The path itself is in bounds.

Hole 1 has two tees. The long tee is left of the swings.

Hole 5 has two tees which are both alternate tees. We are not playing the standard tee. The long tee is from the paved road.

Hole 7 has two baskets. Short layout plays to short basket, long layout plays to long basket.

Hole 8 has two tees.

Hole 10 has a mando that you must go left of. The drop zone is the tee as the mando is about 30 feet from the tee. We don’t want you taking the giant hyzer line.

Hole 14 has two tees. When playing from long tee you may want to utilize 15s fairway, if you do the group on 15 has the right of way.
