Important Info:
Non-playing TD: James (573) 418-2289
ACE Pot - Will only be collected through online registration, you may not buy in to the ace pot at check-in. The ACE Pot is optional. If no ace is hit, pot goes towards next year's Jefferson City Open.
Drinking Water - Bring your own water and refillable bottle! We will have jugs out on the course to top your bottle off, but don’t just rely on that. Bring water for every round!
Food - Between Round 1 and 2, several food trucks will be near the Miller Course at h.o.b. Disc Sports. Pools A and C will have additional travel time factored into the Round 2 Tee Times.
If you can’t make Round 2 or 3, please text (573) 230-1158!!! There will be no check-in for Round 2 or 3. If a player does not show up by the start signal, proceed without the player. If the player shows up later, record par+4 for each hole missed. If you do not notify the TD, you will be given an 888 and your rating will be affected.
Keeping Score - A minimum of one person for each card will need to keep score via the PDGA Digital Scorecard. A backup scorecard is required at PDGA events, we recommend two people use the PDGA Digital Scorecard because if there are discrepancies, the scorecard will let you know immediately.
PDGA Digital Scorecard:
pdga.com/score on your phone's browser
Enter access code 16jco and follow instructions.
Finalize scores immediately at the end of the round! You have to check the, "These scores are correct" box.
UDisc events have been made for scoring all pools all rounds. It is not required, but we would love for a third person to score on UDisc for those on the card who have an account.
OB’s, Relief, Course Notes - the digital scorecard has OB’s listed for each hole, but these general rules apply to all courses:
Vegetation - A player may take relief from thorn bushes, thorny trees, or poison ivy, behind the lie and on the line of play, no penalty stroke.
If your disc lands under a bridge, stair, or culvert you may mark your lie on the surface directly above, if that surface can support the marker and the player at that specific point.
OB Water - other than the ponds at The Dam and Summit, all water water is casual, you may take relief behind your lie on the line of play, no penalty stroke.
Joseph C. Miller DGC -
At this course we have two baskets on each hole; one Pink, and one White. Different divisions will be playing to different baskets, and we will NOT be bagging any baskets. If a player throws to the wrong basket, they simply mark the lie and throw towards the correct basket. No do-overs.
We do not have the tee signs up at the Blue tees yet, use UDisc for the best info. Blue tees at 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, &17.
Holts Summit DGC -
Tee signs on this course are inaccurate, UDisc is the best source of pin distance and location.
Will be playing hole 15B for a 19 hole layout, all rounds all pools.
OB for the Pond on 16 and 17 is the INSIDE edge of the concrete sidewalk, the sidewalk itself is safe.
The Dam Course -
No special notes for this course, consult the PDGA scoring app for OB and Mando info.
Playoffs for First Place Only - If there is a tie for first place when all scores have been finalized on the PDGA event page, start at hole one with a sudden-death playoff. Miller: Holes 1,2,8,&9 loop. Dam: Holes 1,2,3,8,&9 loop. Summit: Holes 1,2,&3 loop. Flip for who tees first on hole one, then alternate each tee afterwards.
Payouts - Open payouts will be PayPal, notify the TD if you prefer cash. All Amateur division payouts will be handled at the h.o.b. Disc Sports. JCO vouchers will only be valid for Sunday the 3rd, but can be used towards anything in the h.o.b. bin store. Sunday is $6 day for bin items. If there's a remainder balance on the voucher it cannot be redeemed for cash. Make sure to find out whether you cashed before you leave, especially MA2 and MA3! Projected Payouts are posted.
Newbies, listen up! - This is a PDGA Sanctioned event, we will be playing by the PDGA rules. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, here are a few important ones:
No practice throws during the round - From the two-minute warning until your last putt of the round, a player receives one penalty throw for making a practice throw. A drop is not a practice throw, neither is a throw that is made either to set aside an unused disc or to return a disc to a player and that travels less than five meters in the air.
No falling putts - If you are within 10 meters of the basket (32’-10”), after having released a putt, the player must demonstrate full control of balance behind the marker disc before advancing toward the target. A player who fails to do so has committed a stance violation and receives one penalty throw.
Lost disc - A disc is declared lost if the player cannot locate it within three minutes after having arrived at the area where it is thought to be. Any player in the group may begin the timing of the three minutes, and must inform the group that the timing has begun. All players in the group must assist in searching for the disc. Failure to do so is a courtesy violation. A player whose disc has been declared lost receives one penalty throw. The next throw is made from the previous lie.
Rulings - Officiate yourselves as a group. Each player must state an opinion, majority rules, 50/50 vote goes to the player’s favor. Declare a provisional and play it both ways if applicable, and discuss it with the Tournament Director immediately after the round.
