Players must ONLY use the Gateway Wizard putters provided in the Players Pack for EVERY throw in both rounds. Each division will play 2 rounds, and the winning teams will receive a specially designed trophy disc.

In addition to the Player’s Pack, we’ll have a few CTPs available for each division throughout the day. Pure your shot and get a chance to win free discs and other merchandise from our sponsors.

The first three players who hit an Ace will receive a $40 gift card to Play It Again Sports - Cuyahoga Falls. The maximum ace payout is $120 for all players. If more than 3 players hit an Ace, the total amount of PIAS gift cards will be split evenly between them.

Raffle and Fundraiser

The church, and its congregation, have blessed this area with an amazing disc golf course. This tournament is a chance to thank the church for all they have done to grow the sport. A portion of each entry fee, along with 100% of raffle ticket purchases, will be given to Johnson United Method Church to assist in their annual Mission Trip for youths and adults.

To encourage players to attend the wrap-up party, we will be having a silent raffle to win one of several prizes at the wrap-up party. Everyone who is registered for the tournament will receive ONE free ticket. We will have additional tickets for sale at Tournament Central during check-in with 100% of the proceeds from these tickets being given to the Johnson UMC Mission Trip Fundraiser.

YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN. Tickets will be $1 each, or 6 for $5. No more than 6 tickets may be purchased by one person. Only one prize per person. A 6-pack of tickets may be purchased during registration. Individual and 6-pack of tickets may be purchased on the day of the tournament with cash.

Waitlist

Teams may sign up for the Waitlist with no payment due. As with every tournament, a portion of the current registered players will drop prior to the tournament; roughly 15-20% due to whatever life stuff comes up. When this happens, a new team (#1 & #2 Waitlist spots) will be moved in and given 48 hours to make payment (and the dropped team will receive a refund minus DGS fees). This continues until registration closes.

Registration closes on March 5th at 11:59pm. All Waitlisted players can choose to drop or hang on a few more days and see if there are any last-minute drops until March 9th at 11:59pm. If there are no players on the Waitlist after March 5th, teams that drop will receive their Players Pack in lieu of a refund.

After March 9th, if any Waitlisted players remain, they will be removed. Anyone who drops after registration closes can pick up their Players Pack at Play It Again Sports -Cuyahoga Falls or Johnson DGC if applicable.
