Will be announced on 1/14 @ 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. One retry available if not all slots are used, priority to volunteers.

Thank you to John Garnett for running the original event and letting use the format going forward!
