Your Players Meeting
Hello everybody, and thank you for registering for the Third Annual Showboat Showdown sponsored by Breaking Aces. We’re looking forward to an awesome day and some awesome scores from some awesome people! The weather looks great, but at 92 degrees you’re gonna need to stay hydrated. Bring water.
First of all, thank you to all of our sponsors, Breaking Aces, High Life Farms, Evolution Disc Golf, Country Boy Farms, the River Provisioning, SMI, and Norelli’s. Their help makes this event successful.
We have two berths to the Michigan Amateur State Championships to hand out. For those, we will be taking the winner of each amateur division and they will be throwing off in a ctp to determine who gets them. In the event that a division winner has already won their berth, then the opportunity will fall to the next placed person in their division.
Make sure your phone is charged, because we are doing live scoring. We encourage multiple people on each card to keep score. That way all scoring mistakes are caught on the spot. You can access like scoring by using

CTPS
There are divisional and non divisional ctps and long putts thanks to our sponsors. Please READ THE CARD before you move something. Make sure it either is for everyone, or is for your division. Please bring in any flags for the holes you finish on AFTER the second round. It would be a big help to us if you also brought in any other signage as well from your finishing hole, but certainly not necessary.
Here is a list of the CTPs
Hole 1 - All players - Long Putt for a Harp - High Life Farms
Hole 2 - MA3 - CTP for a FIssion Tesla - Norelli’s

The weeds are really dense right now. To remedy this and speed up play, we recommend sending spotters. We will be leaving 4 pink flags at every basket on holes where weeds may be an issue, specifically holes like 3, 5, 6, 7, 14. Have your first thrower on the card move up after their shot, and they can use those 4 flags to mark the other players’ shots to help keep track and move things along. Please leave the flags under the basket once you complete the hole.
Discs lost in the river: Unless you can get it quickly, I recommend moving on and coming back to get it at the break. I got into the river today to get a disc and can personally say that the water is warm and will probably feel pretty darn good after a round of disc golf. It’s VERY clear right now, so seeing discs will be a snap.
Trash. Pack it in, pack it out. Please help keep our course clean.
Pictures. If you take any photos, we’d love to see them. Please post them on the Chesaning Disc Golf page on Facebook.
MiStrEATS food truck will be there for us at the break. If you haven’t had their food before, prepare yourself for some top shelf eats. We will have an hour between rounds for lunch. Should you want to go elsewhere, there is a Subway, McDonalds, and Taco Bell in Chesaning that you can drive to. During the break, hole assignments and cards will be posted on the live scoring page.
There will be a Flymart with Breaking Aces and Evolution. Payout $ can ONLY be spent at the Breaking Aces table though.
We are really looking forward to Saturday. It is going to be an amazing time. Can’t wait to see you all!
