There will be a friendly disc golf tournament (weather permitting) from 2:15 to 5:00pm at the Stephen P. Wallace Disc Golf Course, 148 Swift Rd. Voorheesville, NY 12186, for those wishing to participate. Meet under the pavilion located at the front of the park as you enter. You will be randomly paired with another US Open player and your team will be playing against the field in a friendly competition. Format is a “scramble” aka “best disc”. ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME. We will be making use of the charcoal grill on site. BYOB is encouraged and HIGHLY suggested as is suitable footwear for potentially muddy conditions. Please try to arrive by 2:00pm to facilitate team parings and shotgun start. Please let Jay know if you plan on coming at extrapint@yahoo.com.
An event that has become almost as fun as the tournament itself, the US OPEN meet & greet pre-party will start at 5:45pm at Indian Ladder Farms Cidery & Brewery. As in previous years, this event will take place in ILF’s Biergarten. A food truck from Times Square Catering will be on hand providing food. Dinner via Times Square Catering will be provided for out-of-town US Open participants courtesy of EPCC. See the VENUE section for more details. This is a great opportunity to rub elbows with players from around the country and test your skills in against some of the game’s greats as well as Jeremy Tracey. The night’s signature event is the “crokinole survivor” contest, sponsored this year by Brown Castle Games. Players will sit at a board with 4 discs each and shoot at the open 20 hole in turn. If you score a 20, you get your disc back; if not, it goes into the ditch. the last player with a disc wins the match and goes on to play the other winners until a champion is crowned. Last year’s champion was Joe Seifert of Charlston CC. If your team CANNOT attend, please RSVP to Jay at extrapint@yahoo.com.

BRACKETS
Traditionally at EPCC, the higher seeded player/team gets to choose the board in head-to-head matches. Due to the scale of this year’s tournament, we are forgoing that tradition in the interest of time. This year, you will notice a board/table assignment in parentheses “()” for each match, located on both the bracket and your scoresheet.
The bracket phase of the tournament will take approximately 4 hours. In the interest of not forcing folks that were eliminated early stand around and be forced to watch for 3+ hours, we’ve made a portion of the tournament TRIPLE ELIMINATION!
Those teams that would have otherwise been eliminated after round 2 will be placed in the “E” BRACKET and play for 49th place.
Those teams that would have otherwise been eliminated after round 3 will be placed in the “D” BRACKET and play for 33rd place.
Those teams that would have otherwise been eliminated after round 4 will be placed in the “C” BRACKET and play for 25th place.
The losers of the tournament semi-finals will play for 3rd place. The winners of the consolation “B” BRACKET will be awarded 5th place. The losers of “B” BRACKET semi-finals (round 8) will play for 7th place while the four losers of the “B” BRACKET quarter-finals (round 7) will compete for 9th place.
Each match will have its own scoresheet. They are individualized by match numbers that correspond to your position in the bracket and will include your table assignment.
After your match’s conclusion, you will be directed to your next match/table by the numbers on the bottom of your scoresheet.
ALL matches in the “A” BRACKET are to 7 points with the exception of semi-finals (9 points).
ALL matches in the “B”, “C”, “D” & “E” BACKETS are to 5 points with the exception of the 3rd and 5th place matches (9 points).
