Tierra League

TIERRA LEAGUE OVERVIEW


Offered Sunday-Monday for all sessions:

Spring/Summer session (March through May)

 Summer session (June through August)

 Summer/Fall session (September through November)

 No league fee just pay $5 each time you play, includes the ace fund and payout to the top 40% using PDGA payout scale. Play extra rounds for another $5 per round

Weekly ace pot roll over is a 50%, 50% structure.

For example: if the ace pot starts at $0 for the week and 32 people play that said week but an ace isn’t hit, then 50% of the $32 ace pot fund rolls over to the next week ($16), 50% of the ace pot ($16) goes to the LFDC. If an ace is hit, then all of the weekly ace pot fund goes to the ace payout for that week. No funds go to the LDFC for that said week an ace was hit.

RULES

Each card must have at least three players. If you only have two, you must contact the league director before your round. Otherwise, your round will be disqualified, and you won’t get a refund. Allowing a two-player card is at the league director’s discretion.
