2024 St. Max Youth Ministry Fundraiser Doubles Tournament
About this tournament
___________
What is this tournament? / What is Disc Golf?
Disc golf is played much like golf except, instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc. The sport was formalized in the 1970s and shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws).

Who can play? / Divisions and Teams:
Anyone can sign up for this tournament. Based on you and your partner's age / skill level, you will register for a particular “division” You and your partner form a team (with a team name) of two people.
Youth (MJ18) - Any team with both participants under the age of 18
Any card with youth participants must have at least one related parent (playing or not playing) to supervise.
Recreational (MA3) - Any team with participants who are new or relatively new to disc golf.
Advanced (MA1) - Any team with participants who have played disc golf for some time.
If you have people on the same team that fit different divisions (e.g., a youth and an adult), then register for the division of the higher ranking (e.g. a rec and an advanced pairing would sign up for the advanced division).
Teams from different divisions can be on the same card.
There will be a max of 3 teams (doubles pairings) per card.
Team names must be appropriate / not suggestive or else they will be asked to be changed (This is a church fundraiser!). Don’t be that team that I have to ask.
