will be a two-person scramble. Companies will compete against teams from their own division. In the
event that one member of the two-person team is unable to participate, the other team member will be
allowed to participate solo and will only be allowed to throw 1 disc.
 All players must check-in prior to their start time.
 If one partner is there, they can start. If both partners are late and miss the start they forfeit out of the
tournament.
 There are no green fees and no golf carts available.
 Players must supply their own discs. (discs must be PDGA approved) Please note that there are different
types of discs for different types of shots (driver, approach and putter). There is not a limit on the number
of discs you can carry.
 No handicaps. This is a scratch tournament.
 No dogs please.
 Kansas City Corporate Challenge follows Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Rules
 Caddies and spectators are allowed on the course. Caddies must follow PDGA guidelines for caddies, and
spectators must be courteous and respectful of the players, and be aware of their surroundings (the
fairways at Swope Park are close together…errant shots do occasionally find their way onto other
fairways).
 To expedite play, triple bogey (6) is the maximum score on each hole. Once your team has reached triple
bogey, pick up and go to next tee, and record a “6” for the hole. This is an attempt to help speed up play.
Playing partners please help police this rule.

 Other course rules:
 Out-of-Bounds: If your throw goes out of bounds, you may either play from the spot where your
disc was last in bounds, or re-throw from the previous spot, with a one-throw penalty. Out of
bounds areas at Swope include: parking lots, streets, bathrooms, the clubhouse area in the
center of the course, and over the fence into the parks maintenance area. It also will include in
the woods on the left side on hole #13 (area will be marked with a painted line or rope). Note:
Inside the areas on the course marked by the limestone boulders are NOT out-of-bounds.
 Lost Disc: If you lose your thrown disc, you have 3 minutes to look for it, and everyone in your
playing group (even your opponents!) are required to help look for it. If you cannot find your disc
after 3 minutes have lapsed, you incur a one-throw penalty, and must re-throw from the
previous spot.
 Holing Out: You must hole out every shot. In order to hole out, your disc must come to rest in
the chains of the target, or in the lower entrapment area (sometimes call the basket or the tray).
If your disc comes to rest on top of the chain rack, you have not holed out. Please remember
that 6 is your maximum score per hole.

suspended above ground, you must play it on the ground directly below where it came to rest,
with no penalty.

the round at the 1st tee. If you miss the mandatory, you must play your next shot from the drop
