Of the $29 entry fee, $1 will go into an ace pool, $10 will be used for concrete & $18 will go toward event payout.

If no one hits an ace, the ace pool will be put toward concrete tee pads too.

Particpants who are not curent members of the PDGA typically have to pay an additional $10 fee at C and B tier events. However, as part of the PDGA's Competition Endowment Program, the PDGA does not charge this fee.
