This is a first come first serve basis and with this much time before the tournament, there will more then likely be some drops.

Once again...the Jacksonville Open was a huge success... over $7000 added cash to the PRO field of only 46, out of that 22 were in the open field.

Huge payouts to both AMS and PRO's this weekend... Am's final event value was 303% and PRO's event value was 424% with payout percentage at 400%.

The Jacksonville Open is not just your ordinary "B" tier event! It's an Extraordinary event!!!

Incredible payout! Well done Jacksonville. How did you guys generate so much added cash? From one TD / club to another, what were some of your fundraising tactics?

Well done !

Rand,

It wasn't just one TD. We have been running our tournament with co-TD's for the past several years and a tournament committee of at least 8 people. All of us have our roles that we play that are best suited for our strengths in fund raising and running a tournament.

I truly believe the key to our success comes from the partnership we created with a local charity 4 years ago. We have leveraged this partnership to solicit sponsorships for our tournament. With that being said, we always fund raise separately for that charity. This year we set out goal at $2000 for the charity... yes... we actually raised $2k more cash then what was added to the Pro Payout. It came down to the wire this year where we had not met our goal going into the tournament. However, we had 2 fundraisers at the tournament ( 50/50 raffle and a CTP for a DGA Mach III portable and a Fender Guitar signed by 9 World Champion Disc Golfers ) Between the two of those we raised an additional $600 which helped us meet the $2k goal.

All in all, we are successful because of the group of people that work so hard toward common goals, the success of the tournament and giving back to our charity.

I hope this helps.
