1. Welcome to the Sundog Tournament Series summer disc golf league. Registration is on a weekly basis, and is always open to anyone at anytime during the season.

2. With few exceptions, registration is CLOSED at 5:30 SHARP and tee-off is at 6:00 SHARP. If a player absolutely cannot be at course by the close of registration, they must check in BEFORE the close of registration via text message or phone call to Matt at 612-845-3345, or Timmy at 612-281-3192. Late players must arrive NO LATER than 5 minutes prior to tee-off. Flex start begins at 2:00 and ends at 4:00 sharp. Flex players MUST be on course by 4:00. The exceptions to these times are:

o N Valley 04/07 – No flex, registration closes 5:20, tee-off 5:40.
o Acorn 04/14 – Registration closes 5:20, tee-off 5:40.
o Riverside 06/23 – Registration closes 6:15, tee-off 6:45.
o Blue Ribbon Pines 07/28 – Registration closes 6:00, tee-off 6:30.
o Sundog Finals – Early flex 1:00-3:00, registration closes 5:00, tee-off 5:30.

It is each flex player’s responsibility to know or inquire about specific course rules, special tees, temporary holes, OBs, CTPs, special contests, etc., before receiving a scorecard or starting their round.

3. Because Sundog is a very popular evening event that can run past sunset, we ask that players observe the following guidelines and do what they can to help the league get started on time, get off the course before dark, and have time for awards and any playoffs. So PLEASE:

o Check in early by phone or text message if you know you are going to play. (Not for flex-starters.)
o Register immediately upon arrival at course, even if there is a line.
o Stay near league central when it’s close to time for the player meeting.
o Be ready to play; bag packed, car locked, attitude correct, etc.
o Come to player meeting immediately after first call to “bring it in”.
o Players, please! First AND last names on scorecards.
o Don’t rush your game, but take less time doing whatever you do between shots. Keep a flow going.
o Use spotters when necessary on very dark or very rough holes.
o Turn in completed, verified scorecards ASAP after round. The entire group is responsible for this.
o When League Directors are busy, reserve non-essential questions or discussion for a less busy time.
o Non-paying players or groups over 5 are not permitted at any time, flex or otherwise.

4. Sundog Tournament Series is meant for the enjoyment of all who play, but it is also a competitive league. Please respect this by following the rules of disc golf and the guidelines of common courtesy when on the course. Sundog Tournament Series specifically prohibits the following during league play:

o Phones, music players, infants/toddlers, pets, bad behavior, or any unnecessary distractions to players on the course. You will be asked to correct the issue.
o Deliberate littering, knowingly trespassing. You will be severely and publicly criticized.
o Course vandalism, property destruction, violence. You will be DQ’d and possibly banned from Sundog.

All rules violations, player complaints, course issues, etc. will be resolved using the PDGA Rules of Disc Golf and/or our best judgment. Sundog league director rulings are final.

5. Be respectful of, and courteous to, other park users and neighbors, especially regarding noise and language. Sundog players do not have exclusive use of the various courses, or right-of-way over anyone else. Sundog takes place mostly in public parks, all of which have park rules, local laws, and patrols. Exercise common good sense.

6. First place in any division cannot end in a tie. All players with a first place score must stay or return for playoff, or they forfeit first place points and earnings to remaining tying player(s). If all tying players leave before end of play, a winner will be determined randomly at League’s discretion. (Coin flip, Ro Sham Bo, astrology, etc.)

7. All entry fees include $1 for weekly ace pool, $1 for year-end awards and party, and $1 that is divided between Sundog expenses and 2009 MN Majestic sponsorship. Cash paid out nightly to the top 35% of pro divisions, and prizes to top 40%-45% of amateur divisions. Year-end cash and prizes paid to top qualifiers. Players must play at least 35% of Sundogs (8) in a season to qualify for year-end awards. Players may not qualify at finals.

8. All 2009 Sundog earnings must be collected by November 28th, 2009, or they are forfeit. No exceptions.

9. All Sundog Tournament Series systems, procedures, rules, and changes therein are implemented by volunteers in an attempt to enhance the experience of all Sundog participants. Any complaints, however valid they may be, should be tempered by this fact. Never attribute to malice what you can to ignorance. Sundog Tournament Series rules are always subject to change upon a whim and without notice at any time.

10. Questions, suggestions, constructive criticisms, and legitimate complaints are always welcome, as we are constantly looking for ways to solve problems and improve everyone’s Sundog experience. Please come to us with any of these you may have.

Thank you
