Live Scoring
One person from each card MUST keep live score on www.pdga.com/score. Code is "NCSO".
In addition to that, please have someone keep a backup scorecard using the same link and code as above.

Aces:
If no aces are hit during either round then we will do a throw off for 50% of the ace pot. The remaining 50% will go towards the course fund for new baskets at Mississippi.

OB Rules:
Anything ON or OVER the road.

Casual Relief:
Relief is allowed for any unplayable lies due to thorn bushes (buckthorn). Use group discretion… According to PDGA rules the majority of the card has to agree that the lie is not playable inorder to call casual relief.

Thanks and have a great tourney!

If you are a newer player here are a few things you might want to know more about.

Check out tourney rules on pdga https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual-disc-golf-events

3 minute rule, if the entire card is looking for a disc for 3 minutes the disc is declared lost and you must either throw from where it went OB if there is OB or you must throw from your previous lie with a 1 stroke penalty.

During tournament rounds there is no practice allowed, even if there is a backup you can’t practice by throwing or putting.
If you are late to your tee time and you miss holes, you will take a par +4 on each hole that you miss. You cannot play the holes later or try and play them to catch up to your card.

There must be a minimum of 3 players on your card. If enough players don’t show up to make 3 then you need to split and go to a different card.

Mini or marker, you can’t pick up your disc to throw the same disc without using a mini. The other option would be to throw a different disc and leave your previously thrown disc where it landed and throw behind it.

Provisional - a provisional is a throw that is used when you don’t know something for sure. For example on an Island hole, if your disc is close to being in bounds but you can’t tell from the tee, you can call a provisional and throw again in order to save you time from potentially walking back to the tee if you get to the island and your disc is out of bounds. Another example would be if you and your card mates can’t agree on if your inbound on a certain shot, you can play a provisional and play it both ways then come to the tournament director after the round to discuss with your card.

Payouts, if you are playing amateur, after the final round of the tournament is done we will calculate the winnings which normally takes 15-20 minutes and then we will announce all of the individuals that earned a payout for each division, if you are in the top 40% of your division you will more than likely receive some sort of merchandise credit to be used that day on Discs, Sunglasses, Apparel, etc..

Update for 2022 NCSO: We are going to be having a 20 hole layout again this year. I will have the tees and basket positions flagged by Thursday this week.

We are going to be playing round 1 from the short tees and round 2 from the long tees. When I was there Saturday holes 2 & 3 had flooded tees... if that is still the case come Sunday both rounds will be played from the safest tee.
