Notes for the players meeting:

1. PDGA rules are in effect, except for the 2-meter rule which is always in effect at Borderland.
2. All out of bounds should be marked on the sign and have a yellow rope/tape to mark the OB line. The exception is a new OB on hole 17 surrounding the perimeter of the marsh area. That has not made it to the signs as of yet.
3. As always, if you have any question on a ruling that the group cannot agree on, take a provisional shot and come and speak with the TD before turning in the score card.

TD: Matt DeAngelis

Divisions: $60 Pro/Pro
$40 Am/Am
$40 Women

If you accepted cash at any event last year in a Pro division, NEFA, PDGA, MPT, whatever, you are considered a Pro and cannot play with a partner in Am/Am division.

All AM players get a tourney disc. Pro paid in cash money, all other divisions paid in Borderland Bucks.

Lunch orders will be taken in the morning at check-in by a local pizza place.

What's the layout?

[Matt DeAngelis]

Layout is kind of up in the air, but will likely be Whites for the scotch doubles round, followed by B-W for the best disc round. Depends on what the conditions are like and if I think we will be able to get the rounds in before the park closes.

[Kathryn Gray]

Howdy! Just signed up with my partner TBD for the Women's Division, but I just found out that it's going to be Michelle Vega. BOOOOOM!

Yeah, someone else messaged me about that.

I mean, do what you want to do, but just know that by doing what you are doing it is doing something to someone else.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Reg list updated after the reserves were not met and a few people combined to form new teams. Waitlist adjusted accordingly.

[Matt DeAngelis]

Good news for waitlist peoples.

Is there an issue?

[Matt DeAngelis]

I think he is saying that the two teams he quoted are good enough to compete and do well in Pro.

[Matt DeAngelis]

The first round is scotch doubles. In Scotch doubles, both partners tee off on every hole and they choose the better of the two throws. If they choose Player A's drive, Player B must throw from it. If they choose Player B's drive, Player A must throw from it. Then the team continues to alternate until the hole is finished. The simple way to keep things straight is to remember that you will never play from your own disc/lie. Except at the tee, you only throw from where your partner's disc landed.

Round 2 will be standard best shot doubles. Both players drive off the tee, select their best shot to play from, then both player throw from that lie, continuing until the hole is complete. You must choose a single shot to play from and will not be allowed to “split” your shots from both lies.
