Player Pack:
Prizes:
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prize discs supplied by Lifesport
- Bonus prizes 3 x $25 Lifesport gift cards!
- Potentially other bonus prizes.
There will be three placement categories: Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for each.
Location:
The location is the Edgemont Disc Golf Course at John Laurie Park. We will use the existing 11 basket locations. Two rounds will be played.
We do encourage you to look up the Edgemont Disc Golf Course on UDisc.
What is the challenge at Edgemont? It’s a short par 3 course with challenging hillside baskets and windy conditions are common.
Particulars:
We will endeavor to pair up friends if possible. Cards will likely range from 2-4 players. Please note friendship names on the registration form.
Bring at least one disc! If you are a beginner, any conventional 'frisbee' style disc will do. Typically as people get better they specialize into disc golf discs. Don't be scared to participate. See our video 'A Junior Disc Golf Survival Guide.'
Players will be sorted into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced categories. The Tournament Director reserves the right to move a player up or down categories based on final score.
Before or after your tee times head over to the JK Discs tent for a special activity (e.g. mini disc course competition, long throw competition, or long throw mini competition etc).
More details about start times will be emailed out in the days leading up to the tournament.
Top finishers of this tournament automatically qualify for entry into the Alberta Youth Disc Golf Challenge FINAL in August 2022.
CDGC Membership / UDisc Account
Registration requires a CDGC Junior membership purchase or an existing CDGC Junior membership. A Family membership is also acceptable. A CDGC membership provides access to benefits including access to future tournaments and events hosted throughout the year! A membership also provides funds to help develop junior initiatives, maintain local courses and develop new courses throughout the city. A Junior Membership is in effect until the member is 18 years old!
Recommended steps:
1. Does your child have a unique email address? If not, please consider it. Have Gmail? One trick is to use the '+' sign like this: Smith+child1@gmail.com or Smith+child2@gmail.com, so all emails would go to Smith@gmail.com yet the children would have unique emails. A unique email helps solve some registration issues and assists with UDisc below. The '+' trick may work with other email types, but you will have to check.
2. Child not a Calgary Disc Golf Club member yet? Go to:
calgarydiscgolf.wildapricot.org/join-us. Wait until you receive a notification that the membership is approved. Then return back here.
3. Login with your child's CDGC membership account credentials or your family membership credentials. Register for the tournament.
4. UDisc Events with live scoring will be used. Please install the Udisc app on the device you will most likely use for score keeping. UDisc is free to start. Then, set your child up with a UDisc account using a unique email address. Be sure to note that email address on the registration form, as it will be used to load the event and tee times into their UDisc account. All of this will help ensure we can certify the results live onsite and hand out the major prizes onsite. Only one person in a player group needs to keep score, but the more people that have UDisc setup, the better.
Registration
Important tips:
- When registering your child, enter the child's name first. Later in the form is a spot to enter your name as the parent or legal guardian. The gender and date of birth fields are also for the child.
- Watch out for auto-fill as it likely will replace the child's name with yours.
The Parent or Legal Guardian registering the child must agree to the RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND MEDIA RELEASE AGREEMENT in order for the child to participate in the tournament. This is done through the Registration form.
Player Etiquette & Safety
Please go over etiquette and safety with your child! Safety concerns include, but are not limited to: getting hit by a disc, slips, trips, falls, the effect of pre-existing medical conditions and inclement weather.
Helpful etiquette and safety articles are the ‘Disc Golfer’s Code’ and 'Stay Classy, Disc Golfers: Rules Of Disc Golf Etiquette.'
What’s Next
Watch for an email or two. Tee time / hole start details will be assigned right up close to the tournament.
We hope to keep the event safe, inclusive and fun for all those involved! Thank you for your part in making this happen. See you out there on the course!
