Registration is now open for Tournament of the Damned V (aka Tournament of the Dams), October 6th and 7th. A registration form should soon be available at NEFA.com,. and is now available at BuffumvilleDiscGolf.org.. I have applied for PDGA sanctioning as a Tier �C� event. The tournament will feature four of New England's premier disc golf courses, located at US Army Corps of Engineers dam sites: Tully Lake, Royalston, Massachusetts � 18 holes. Barre Falls Dam, Hubbardston, Massachusetts � 18 holes. West Thompson Lake, N. Grosvesnordale, Connecticut � 18 holes. Buffumville Lake, Charlton, Massachusetts � 18 holes + a 5-6 hole safari (or, should it be 27 holes plus?). Yes, this is a new format�four dam courses in 2 days; and no, it has nothing to do with the Dam Open. 90 players maximum.

Special Conditions: Use of illegal substances, and use of alcohol during play, is an automatic disqualification. Shirts required; no tee shirts allowed Ace pot for each course; un-won ace pots subject to CTP contest. Top scorers at each course win special prizes. Overall top professionals (40% of field) win cash. Overall top amateurs (40% of field) win Buffumville Bucks (gift certificates). Pre-tournament check-in by 9 am on Saturday required (even if pre-registered.) No cell phones allowed during play.
Note: an email address is required to register. I anticipate needing to communicate important notices from time to time as plans for this event jell.
I strongly encourage you to pre-register in advance. That will be a huge help considering the complicated nature of registering and putting together groups for this 4-venue event. Also, you will avoid paying an extra $5.00 fee for registering the day of the event. Get your PDGA membership current to save another $5.00 PDGA non-member fee.
I am looking for cash sponsors, CTP prize contributions, and hands of help. I will need a co-TD for each course. Also, cook for the cookout Saturday afternoon.
