Big thanks to Val and the team of volunteers who helped with work parties, course setup, managing tournament central, and breakdown. Your contributions are greatly appreciated!

Payouts & Results

This is a very unique, non-sanctioned BYOP doubles event. We pay $ to ALL divisions, not just PROs. Here is the logic that was used to calculate payouts:

  • Event net profit = available cash payout
  • PDGA Payout Tables were used
    • PRO: Used PRO Mid curve (min. 40% of field is paid)
    • ALL OTHER DIVS: Used AM Mid Curve (min. 45% of field is paid)
  • Payouts were normalized ($ per team) across all divisions
    • Player pack values for each division were taken into account for this calculation
    • All divisions except Pros received a 2021 – 2025 club disc
    • All divisions received a Towch
  • Adjustments:
    • Transferred 2.5% of cash payout to PRO division (increasing PRO payout is standard practice)
    • Then transferred 0.75% of cash payout to WOM (this should be typical)
    • Net Mulligan $ (DGS Only) were added based on division buy in
  • Membership revenue was treated like all other event revenue
  • Entry fees were the same for all divisions ($130)
