Prizes
Total prize money table will be published at the tournament tent. Expected prize money payout: €25.000 - €30.000. There will be trophies awarded for top 3 finishers in both divisions.
Rules
We play by the PDGA rules. The 2-meter out-of-bounds rule will not be in effect for this tournament.
Rounds
There can be no practice at the course holes after the first group has started each day - until the last putt each day.
We ask that you respect the 30 second rule and the 3 minute rule, so that we will be able to stay on schedule.
If the tournament has to be temporarily delayed, for example in case of a thunderstorm, this will be signaled with repeated long signals.
Scorecards
The first player in each group is responsible for the group's scorecards. This includes making sure that the scorecards are taken with the group on the round and that the scorecards are returned to the tournament center after the round, so that the staff can start processing the results. Note: It is important that you return the scorecards as soon as possible after it is signed by all players.
The scorecards should be picked up (at the times mentioned in the schedule) from the leader-board at the tournament center.
Scores must also be entered in UDisc (by another player).
Please review all scoring procedures in the rules to prevent incorrect scorecards and the resulting penalty throws.
Tees
All tee signs are marked with the tournament logo, hole number, distance and par.
Please note that some of the holes for the tournament are different from the permanent course to satisfy the demands of pro touring players.
It is always the tournament tee signs, which are in effect - not the smaller circular signs on the wooden tee poles.
Spotters
On certain holes there will be spotters to prevent lost discs and to check on blind holes and for out-of-bounds (OBs) and mandatories.
Please note that the spotters have no official status regarding OB rulings.
Groups must make their own calls on OBs (remember to play provisional throws and note two scores for the player if the group is in doubt).
The spotters will attempt to mark where discs cross into out-of-bounds. No discussion with the spotters regarding any calls is permitted.
Tournament center
The tournament center is located by hole 1 on the course.
Everything from players meeting, handing out scorecards, and a kiosk/disc sale shop to lunches and the prize ceremony will take place here.
The tournament center will have an information board with all changes/updates regarding the tournament.
The information on this board is always correct and should be followed - please check this board regularly!
Warm-up and practice rounds
The full course will be up on (TBA). There is a dedicated driving range 300 meters from the tournament center and a putting area close by.
Drinking water and toilets
There will be drinking water available at the tournament center and at a few spots on the course (look for the Prodigy Disc tents).
There are a number of toilets close to the tournament center (ask a volunteer for directions or assistance if needed).
Merchandise
Disc Connection will be selling discs and other merchandise during the tournament at the tournament center. We urge all players to support this dedicated Danish disc selling company which has done a lot to support the sport in a small market.
Tiebreakers
Sudden-death play resolves ties for trophy candidates in both divisions and possible split first places. Sudden-deaths are played on holes 4-5-16-18 until a winner is found. For trophies, if a winner is not found after the first four holes, there is CTP on hole 5.
Hole-in-one (HIO) and closest-to-pin (CTP)
HIO is awarded during all rounds. All HIO will receive sponsored merchandise prizes.
CTP is played during all 3 rounds on hole 7. The three winners will receive sponsored merchandise. If a hole-in-one is made on the CTP hole, it will count as a hole-in-one, and not as a CTP. You will therefore get the prize for the hole-in-one instead.
Prizes for ALL hole-in-ones and closest-to-pin will be distributed at the prize ceremony after the tournament.
