About this tournament
This will be the Grand Rapids Dogs of Disc featured event for 2020. 20 Berths to the Discraft Michigan State Championships will be competed for over 2 days with 2 rounds of 18 holes to be played.
This event is a C-tier sanctioned event.
To help address the sandbagging issues at the Michigan State Championships;
For the Am2/Am3 (including the women) divisions in Featured Events, if there is a player that takes 1st or 2nd place and that player has never had a PDGA membership the Featured Event will deduct from that player’s payouts $35 to cover the cost of buying them a PDGA membership.
The remaining $10 was initially paid by the player at entry.
The last missing $5 is because the MDGO is an Affiliate Club.
Non-current PDGA members do not apply.
This was passed to address the issue of players not having player ratings. Even if they are not current, the TD does get a file from the PDGA that includes the player's rating.
