Below is the email that was sent to registered players in lieu of a players meeting.  Please read and be familiar with all of it if you are playing the tournament.

Hi Santa’s Doubles registrants (and waitlisters, just in case),

Just want to note a couple things in advance of the tournament since we won’t be doing the traditional players meeting.

First, if you for any reason will not attend the tournament, please let me know as soon as possible (call, text, email).  If I know you’re not going to be here, I can adjust accordingly.  If not, it is a big pain in the butt.  Deadline to receive a refund for withdrawal is Friday at 6pm.

Should some inconsiderate team fail to show up without notice on Saturday morning and you find that you are at your starting hole with no one to play with, the procedure will be to move to the hole in front and join that group (e.g. if you’re on hole 8, join the group on 9).

OB areas:

    • The property line on the left side of holes 1 and 2 is OB.
    • Since the ice is definitely not safe to hold anyone’s weight, the ponds on hole 8 are OB. Play all OB shots from the drop zone with penalty.
    • The property line on the right side of hole 18 is OB.

Round 1 is best shot doubles. Both players throw from each lie, choosing the better of their two shots to determine their next lie. Standard doubles fare.

Round 2 is going to be a format chosen at random during the lunch break.  It will be either Alternate Shot, Best Score, Choice Shot, Scotch, Tough Shot, or Worst Shot.  Everyone will play this chosen format. The drawing is weighted as follows: Alternate (last year’s format) and Worst Shot each have a 7.6% chance (1 in 13).  Tough Shot has a 15.3% chance (2 in 13).  The rest each have a 23% chance (3/13).

If there is any question about any of those formats and how they’re played, please check out the descriptions at http://redhawkdiscgolf.com/draganfield/santas-doubles/grab-bag/ and shoot me a message if you need further clarification.

COVID-19 related conditions:

    • There will be no formal players meeting
    • Masks/face coverings are required in and around pro shop area
    • There will be no registering/payments day-of, including for ace pot
    • One player from each team should check in the team in the morning
    • One player from each group should retrieve scorecard from board and turn it in after round

First round groupings will be posted at http://redhawkdiscgolf.com/draganfield/santas-doubles by 7pm on Friday night but please check the board before heading out to your hole in the morning just in case of changes.

Last thing is payouts.  Payouts will be done electronically after the tournament.  My default will be to try to send PayPal to the email address(es) teams used to register on Disc Golf Scene.  If that is not the best way to send payment, please use the form (https://forms.gle/6wjAeXwKRD9qanEx6) to give me the correct account. Also specify if I should split the payment between both partners or send it all to one partner.

Thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom. Hopefully I will see you on Saturday morning!
