Will be announced on 1/21 @ 6PM Pacific
A tournament director and scorekeepers will be present to monitor play and to record scores.
Games will be set to 5-ball play and may be configured to use tournament settings. Extra balls should be played and do not count toward the number of balls played, when calculating the pin-golf score.
Reach the target score in 1 ball for a hole in one. Reach it in 2 balls, then get a score of 2 strokes, and so on. If the target score is not reached after 5 balls, then earn a stroke score of 6 to 10, depending on how close to the target score reached. The score ranges (0-20% = 10, 20-40% = 9 so on until 80-100% = 6 strokes) will be shown on a note on the backglass.
The target scores will be tuned to allow each game to be completed in 5 minutes or less on average.
If necessary, ties for the finals cut off will be broken by one full game right before the finals start at 2:45PM.
The entry fee is $10. All entry fees will be paid out as prize money. Yeti trophy for first place
