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,

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
