The Mulligan : At registration you may purchase 1 mulligan for $5 (per dog) which will allow you to restart a bad round. To use it, you must stop your round before time expires and turn in your mulligan ticket and immediately restart your round. The original round will no longer count and the mulligan round will be your official scored round. This is good for only 1 round (per dog) all weekend.
Food:
There will be food available for purchase all day in the cafeteria. Chilli themed. I’ll add the menu when I have it but for now it is chilli, chilli dogs, chilli nachos, salad, cookies…etc

The Field:
We will be indoors, on turf, under lights. The field will be taped to indicate the boundary, bonus and distance lines. There will be extra matting at either end of the turf field to further protect dogs in case of an errant throw or run out.
You will be able to potty your dogs just outside the event center.
You do not need a tent. Your dogs must be crated and preferably covered to reduce noise.
Merchandise:
There will be cool winter gear available including hats and long sleeve shirts.
Divisions:
We will have Senior (50+) , Open, Elite and Youth (16&under) divisions for each game and overall.
Open is for anyone and could be considered an “intermediate” division.
