Doubles Rules of Play
Disc Golf Doubles events are a great way for newcomers to meet other disc golfers, an opportunity to learn from more experienced players and maybe a chance to win a little cash. For returning players it serves the same purpose, plus you get bragging rights (if you win) and perhaps a chance to mentor another player and earn some disc golf karma.
Greystone Doubles Rules:
• Format is random draw, best disc doubles or A/B pools depending on the turn out.
• Cost to play is $5. ($4 to the pool $1 to the course fund) ACE pot will be an additional $1. Exact change or $1’s are appreciated.
The Draw:
• Draw time will be at 5:50pm with available daylight. Please be accountable by 5:45
• Players must be present OR accounted for at Draw Time to be drawn for a team. A late arriving player who has confirmed that he will arrive before Tee off can be drawn for a team. That player’s partner may play Cali rules for no more than two holes. If the late player fails to arrive before the completion of the second hole he may not play doubles. His partner continues to play Cali.
• If an odd number of players are in the draw the person not drawn into a team may play Cali Rules (one extra throw per hole, player takes best disc).
• A late arriving player who has not been drawn into a team may play but may not play Cali Rules. He must play regular stroke play.
Payout:
• The pool will pay out according to “The Rule of 7”. If 1 to 6 players compete, one place gets paid. If 7 to 13 play, 2 places get paid. Every 7th player that shows up, another place gets paid.
• The Ace Pot will be paid out to the player who hit the ace (not his teammate).
• A minimum of three players must compete and doubles (or a variant) must be played for the Ace Pot to be in play. The Ace Pot will not be paid out for singles play.
• If Ace Pot is not claimed before the end of the doubles season it rolls over into the next season.
• The funds for the Ace Pots will be held in the club’s bank account and paid out whenever an Ace is hit.
