Tierra League

OVERVIEW
-A, B and C divisions. B is limited to PDGA ratings under 900, C < 850.
-Offered Sunday-Monday in the spring/summer & Saturday-Sunday in the fall/winter, winter/spring.
-Minimum of 3 players per card, or two with prior permission.
-Pay before you play.
-If your Tierra Disc Golf League bank balance drops below -$10, you are not eligible for weekly winnings of any kind until the negative balance is resolved in full. You will receive a courtesy reminder if this happens.
-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, or $1 ace fund only, & the money goes to the added cash pot for payouts.
-Tierra Park Disc Golf League uses a banking system for payouts
-PDGA rules apply

Weekly ace pot roll over is a 50%, 25% 25% structure.

-For example: if the ace pot starts at $0 for the week and 32 people play that week but a ace isn’t hit, then 50% of the $32 ace pot fund rolls over to the next week ($16). 25% of the ace pot ($8) goes to the LFDC and 25% ($8) goes to the Tierra course fund.

If a ace is hit then all of the weekly ace pot fund goes to the ace payout for that week. No funds go to the club or Tierra course fund for that said week an ace was hit.

ENTRY FEES

Entry must be paid every week

Players have until Wednesday morning (2 days) to pay for their league round. A player receives one courtesy reminder per session to pay their entry fee. The league director is not responsible for reminding a player a second time. If a player neglects to pay entry a second time in a session, the player will be ineligible for payouts for 1 month and also ineligible for the overall session points payout.
