July 27-28, 2013: Cedar Creek Open – A-Tier – MST
ONLINE REGISTRATION available here! You must register before July 1st to guarantee a tshirt as part of the player pack.
The last few years of the Cedar Creek Open have been amazing! The players, volunteers, and sponsors have come together to make one of the best events in the midwest. Fun courses, great amenities, and HUGE payouts (check them out here) for both pro and ams have really set the CCO apart. Outdoing the last few years is going to be a huge task, but we are up for the challenge!
This year, the Cedar Creek Open has once again joined the PDGA's SuperTour as an A-tier event. The tournament will once again be a two-day event, and will also be a part of the MFA's fantastic Minnesota Summer Tour. We are thankful that the CCO continues to grow and become one of Minnesota's signature events. Read on for more specific information regarding the event.
We already have lots of added cash and prizes. This year's Open Champion will once again take home over $1000, and amateur payouts will remain huge. Check out past payouts here.
All Ams will also receive a nice player's pack. Current players pack (with more being added): One CCO Tshirt, one CCO tournament stamped disc, one mini, one microfiber towel, free entry into the ace pool, and free water and gatorade on the courses during all rounds.
The tentative format will be four rounds of 18-holes. Two rounds each day - one on each of our two courses. Pin placements on both courses will change between the two Saturday and Sunday. About 20 holes will change in total. It will be like playing 4 different courses. NOTE: We have learned some lessons over the last couple years, and have adjusted our format accordingly to make sure the tournament ends at a reasonable time Sunday.
There will also be plenty of side action throughout the event. During Friday's check-in time there well be a flex-start doubles event and three skills competitions (accuracy, putting, and mini-putting). Those who cannot make it on Friday will still have a brief window to make their way into the finals. There are even opportunities during the rounds to get win some extra prizes. There will be CTPs on every hole for AMs and we hope to continue our Double-Up challenge as well.
