Did I read the registration right or is it a misprint, $60 for a one day tournament?

nope, you heard it right. Lots of added cash and a decent player pack. It's your money, spend it where you see fit.

The buyin is correct, please check out the website we have added cash in Int. Adv. and Open.
We also have several side contests that will be running and a great players pack for every player.
The breakdown for the players registration fees looks like this:
Division Payout Admin EDGE Ace Pot CTP PDGA TOTAL
OPEN $45.00 $10.00 $5.00 $5.00 $3.00 $2.00 $70.00
ADV $35.00 $10.00 $5.00 $5.00 $3.00 $2.00 $60.00

1 of my 3 aces is on that course----#1

how come all the tournies now of days are charging for administration fee or course fee or club fee?? course fee at a course that charges i can see. wilco , moodys. just curious as have not see this until last year and now this year!! so can someone send light on what exactly $10 admin fees go towards? thanks

First, if anybody has questions about our registration fees and how it is broken down please feel free call Shawn Wanamaker at the Shack 512-653-4309.
Now to directly answer your question, Admin Fees is the money used to help with permit fees for the course, players packs, tournament insurance and marketing.
Wanna Play Disc Golf's goal for our events is to have great players packs, and big payouts.
55% of all registration fees goes directly to payout. $5 more the ace pot and $3 that will be paid out directly to the Open players CTP payout. In short more than 60% of a players registration fee goes directly back to the overall payout.
Wanna Play Disc Golf is also actively fundraising for added cash and prizes through local sponsors. We currently have a total of $650 in added cash that will go directly to the overall tournament payout. We will divide the added payout between the Open, Adv and Int divisions. You can see the exact breakdown at www.dukebragg.com.
Every player registered in the tournament will get a tourney stamped dri fit and a Glow KC PRO Aviar in their players pack.
All this I still have not mentioned the bonus payout for the player in each division with the most deuces or the $2500 Ace Bonus hole.
Now with that being said Wanna Play Disc Golf is a for profit company and we do plan to make a profit from our events but never at the expense of the players payout.

thank you for the information. this is what I was looking for.

You mention that 60% of the reg fee goes to payout. Just an FYI, PDGA standards dictate that you must payout at least 85% of the registration fee in a c Tier. Also the maximum event management fee (which essentially what your $10 admin fee is) for a c Tier is $100. I'm not saying you are in violation of this standard as I am not sure how all the math playes out for your event. Just providing this information as an FYI.

Also in my limited experience as TD (approx 12 events as a TD) Open players are never OK with tourneys taking money out of their purse for any reason other than perhaps a park entry fee & PDAG fee.

One last peice of info, you mentioned you are for profit which is great. I fully support these events as for profit. That's how I run my events too. That said, you buy discs at wholesale and sell discs at retail as part of the AM payout. With that model you are guaranteed to make a profit.

I fully support you and this tourney and hope it is a great success! It sounds like your events are going to be really fun and you are trying to make these events top notch! Can't wait to check it out.

Sounds like fun...

Though the price is a bit high (after it's all added up, that is) BUT I love this course and the $2500 Ace Pot is to yummy to passs on!

Look for me there!

Duke Bragg�s Deuce Run is Wanna Play Disc Golf�s first PDGA tournament and we have put a lot of time and effort into this event. I know our tournament is a bit out of the box but we feel that we have a strong recipe for a great family event and huge payouts for our players. There have been some concerns about our registration fees so I called the PDGA and confirmed we are in compliance with their standards.
Duke Bragg�s Deuce Run is a C-tier tournament that will consist of two full rounds for each division, with a final nine holes for the top card in Adv, Int and Open.
We will be running several side contests within tournament to award additional prizes and cash to the players.
� ACE POT
� CTP(Closest To Pin) hole per round for every card
� Duke�s Dropping Deuces Challenge
� $2500 Ace Bonus Challenge
We will also want to focus on turning our tournaments into family friendly events and will be hosting several games, contests and entertainment throughout the afternoon to keep the players between rounds and their families engaged while they are waiting.
� Ring of Fires
� Mini Kan Jam Tournaments
� Random Raffles
� Long Putt Contest
� Bowling for Aces
� Disc Golf How To Clinics
I want to thank everyone for their ideas and help over the last couple of days. I am very excited to see there has been some good interest in our tournament and look forward to seeing everyone out at Steeplechase. We will use all your ideas to continue to improve our future events and welcome you suggestions both before and after Duke Bragg�s Deuce Run.

Players list??

how come all the tournies now of days are charging for administration fee or course fee or club fee?? course fee at a course that charges i can see. wilco , moodys. just curious as have not see this until last year and now this year!! so can someone send light on what exactly $10 admin fees go towards? thanks

if you dont like the fees DONT PLAY!!!!

You can find the current registration list at:
http://dukebragg.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=37&vmcchk=1&Itemid=37

Thanks. Great website as well.

I also noticed on the website that it is going to be tee times instead of shotgun start, did I read that correctly?

Yes we are running tee times. We will post tee times for all players first round the day before the tournament.

We have added links to Payout information at:
http://www.dukebragg.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=38

We will also have food and beverages provided by 86This Catering. You can check out there menu at:
http://www.dukebragg.com/images/disc%20golf%20menu.pdf

Don't forget registration will close this Friday and tee times will be posted for round 1 Friday night.

We have posted up course information online. Every player will get a copy in their players pack with a dri fit shirt and Glow KC PRO AVIAR. You can check out the OB's and CTP info at:
http://www.dukebragg.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=44

No open players signed up yet? Was thinking of playing but don't want to beat up on myself.

Edman,

We just updated the list, we have Yeti, JMount, Trevor Lawhead signed up for Open and rumor has it Upshot Brown may make his open debut as well.

any details on the $2500 Ace Challenge; is it an insured hole where no one is going to have a chance or is it a normal hole on the course?

Just registered for MPO as well.

I did have one question though. I noticed on the schedule of events that the players meeting is at 7:00am. Does everyone need to be present at this meeting even if your tee time is not until later? Usually at tournaments with tee times the TD has a players meeting for each individual group before they tee off so that you don't have to attend a 7:00am players meeting if you are not teeing off until later. Just checking! Thanks!

No the Players meeting is not mandatory. We will go over all the info and hand every player a sheet with all the OB, course and CTP INFO on it before you tee off.
We will hold the meeting for anybody that has questions before the tournament begins.

In regards for the $2500 Ace Hole - It will be insured but it is not a crazy hole that nobody has a chance at. We are keeping the exact hole a surprise for the day of the tournament. I will say that If nobody aces the hole I bet there will be a ton of deuces on it. Now to qualify for the ACE Bonus It will need to be a clean shot. If it is a skip shot or bounces off a tree you will still earn the tournament ACE POT but not the ACE Bonus.

Thanks for the info

Thanks, see you saturday

We will be running Friday Doubles out at Steeplechase flex start from 12n to 4:30pm. Bring your Ringer for a partner. $10 per team wit a $5 optional ACE Pot. You can checkout more info at:

Hi Duke,

Do Jess and I split the $$$ from combining 3rd and 4th since we tied overall, or are you paying out differently?

thanks for the fun event!

No because you took a bogey on 14 in the final... that pretty much takes you out of the split!!!

I know he shot better on the Final 9 by 1 stroke, but we were tied overall at the end. Unless Shawn did it differently, I assume we would split the combined 3rd and 4th place $$$.

just want clarification because it seemed that things were changing while we were out on the course. Like top 4 only instead of top half of division like we thought.

sorry... I forgot to add the "LOL" after my statement. didn't think you would take that literally.

Kessler you are correct The TD report has you tied but our little self made report did not all allow for ties we figured it out and you both get $115. His name came up first because he "J" comes before "M" Jess already took his split in payout. Come by the shop and you can grab yours. So in short yes you did tie and it was reported that way to PDGA and you have $115 in payout waiting for you and your better half has $30 coming her way as well.

Thanks Duke!

Just a quick FYI concerning our tournaments registration fees to payout for Duke Bragg's Deuce Run.

The Open players payout percentage for cash only was over 180% if you add the retail value of the players pack it was well over 300%.

The Am players payout percentage was over 150%

what's happening with the round ratings? The Ams still look incomplete......
