About this tournament
Welcome to the 4th Annual Bert Cotton Memorial Tournament Presented by Helix Disc Golf and Supported by Innova Disc Golf. This is our fourth year for this PDGA-sanctioned tournament and a 2024 SoCal Disc Golf Series event. This year will be a C-TIER event hosted at the beautiful Palm Royale Country Club on the 18-hole, par-55 layout with brand new Innova DISCATCHER baskets to be installed just in time for the event!
This event will feature two rounds of disc golf in one day, with shotgun starts for both rounds. There will also be a Final 9 for the Top 5 MPO finishers, taking place on our "Super XL" par-33 layout that uses the whole course with safari and combo holes. Lunch will be provided for all players on-site between rounds.
Amateurs will be competing for trophies only. Must be at least 3 players in a division to earn a trophy, with up to 3 trophies (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for larger divisions. Ams will get a great player pack, including a Helix NinjaPak disc golf backpack, a premium Innova tournament-stamped disc, a commemorative event pin, and a Helix Disc Golf towel.
Pros will be playing for cash payouts based on the amount of entries per each division plus some added cash from Helix and our tee sign sponsors.
Tee sign sponsorships will be available for $40 each. All proceeds from hole sponsorships go back into the event to boost pro payouts and support am player packs.
All MP Divisions and MA1 will play the blue tees. All other FP, MA, and FA divisions will play the red tees. Baskets will not be changing between rounds this year, but some tee locations may change between rounds 1 and 2 to mix up the layout.
If any divisions have less than 3 players, we may condense divisions and ask you to move prior to the event.
Once the event is full, get on the waitlist. The field is divided into two pools to avoid mixed-tee groups. Blue pool is MP and MA1 divisions, which play the blue tees. Red pool is FP and all other am divisions, which play the red tees. Waitlist invites will be determined by the next in line in each appropriate pool. This way we can maintain the same field balances keep all fivesomes playing the same tees. It can get a little awkward the other way : )
