About this tournament
This is a 1, day 2 round, Amateur only B-tier event at Bethel University in Arden Hills, MN. This event will include a players pack as well as typical event payouts.
I will adjust division sizes if there is a need to based on registrations and unfilled divisions.
Layout will be announced once the event gets closer, but the plan is for everyone to play the same layout and it will likely be a long layout.
There is an Optional $2 ace pool that can be selected when you sign up. This will be a singular ace pool even if divisions are playing different layouts. If no ace is hit by a player signed up for the ace pool then the ace pool will carry over to the next event. If there is any ace pool after the final event of the year then the ace pool will be added into the Amateur Season Points Series payouts.
Tournament Payouts will be available on site or at Gray Duck Disc Golf and will expire 1 year after the event. All divisions will be paid in merchandise credit.
Per Player Pass Through Fees:
$3 - PDGA
$1.5 - Sanctioning/Insurance
$3.5 - Course Rental
$1 (MA1-MA4 only) - Season Series Payouts
This tournament is part of the Gray Duck Tour Series and includes series payouts for at the end of the season for the MA1-MA4 Divisions. Here is the structure:
$1 of every MA1-MA4 entry goes into a prize pool for each respective division for year end tour series payouts.
Event Points Calculation:
1st = 100 + (0.1 x players in division)
Everyone Else = 100 - ((place-1) * 30) / players in division
Total Season Points will be equal to the Top 7 events for each player in a division.
After the final event of the year the Prize pool value for each division will be equal to the total number of players that played in that division for each event combined.
The top 5% of each division's season points leaders (up to 10 total players) will be paid out.
