Introducing the 2013 LargeMouth Disc Golf Tour presented by some lucky company that has yet been determined. This will be a series of at least 6 events on courses near the Hub City including Pearl River Landing (Columbia), Ashe Lake (Brooklyn), and Desert Fox (Hattiesburg). Points will be awarded and calculated based on performance and a few other things including bag tags and pre-registration.

The plan for now is to have 2 events at each of the 3 courses mentioned above with a series ending championship the Sunday after the last event of the year. The championship will carry a $10 entry fee only, with lots of extras being paid out so that the players will get way more out than they had to put in. Half of all sponsorships collected through out the year will go to the championship while the other half will go to the 6 "qualifiers". Anyone who wishes to sponsor will get exposure at all events rather than just one, thus maximizing their dollar.

The minor details are still being smoothed out but you will earn points at each qualifier earning yourself a spot in the series finale which will be a 1 round last chance point getter where points will be doubled. Afterwards the points champions will be determined and everyone will be placed in order of their final point totals for the year. At this point we will play 18 holes of skins (for each card) for everything left in the kitty plus the $10 entry fees.

As of now the 6 qualifiers will be the following events:
Winter Fox Open - PBJ State Park
Bombs over Brooklyn - Ashe Lake
Columbia Clash - Pearl River Landing DGC
Summer Sizzler - Ashe Lake DGC
Fox Hunt - PBJ State Park
Pearl River Rundown - PRL DGC

More details to come...

Sounds awesome.. Ready to get it going.. Let me know about the sponserships when you get it worked out, bc you know I got one for you.. Also how much will the Title sponserships be?

Curry Williams
Throw Innova
PDGA# 34413

I am hoping to get 2k, but would settle for less if that couldn't be done.

More details:

5 points for entering each qualifier
5 bonus points for pre registration
2 points for each person you beat ( in your division)
2 bonus points for consecutive tournies played (progressively grows with each tourney played)
Bonus point CTP's at each qualifier

There will be a discount offered on entry fees for an annual pre registration. If anyone is willing to sign up for all 6 tournies in advance, I will knock $5 off for each event saving you $30 on the year. A pretty sweet deal if you are willing to make the commitment to the tour.

You must play in 2 qualifiers to play in the season finale.

More to come....

sounds sweet! like a new format to keep things interesting and raise the stakes a bit.

Good Luck Tony!! It was nice too see u again in BR!

Thanks Brad!! Always good to see a class act such as yourself! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year brotha!!

If you decide you want to attend some of these events, you can always crash at my pad. We have a spare room for you anytime you want to visit the Hub City...

Tony, I must ask you this tho before making a decision. Will the ADVANCE division be considered an AM division. or OPEN or PRO..or what..I recently played a fluke event where. Adv players were called. NOT AN AM division...... I myself am an advance player,but what I was told im not AN AM...so define ADVANCE AM..as apposed to AM...I mean u can't have advance NOVICE... LOL just saying.... what im asking is this... in your event. will ADVANCE be a part of the AM division. or can I bring a ton of ADVANCE LEFT HANDED players and NOT have a right handed AM on my card. LOL

Wow! I am not one to be easily confused, but at this point I am so confused....

Say what? Again??

Think I got my title sponsor on the hook today. Nothing for sure yet, but they didn't shoot me down when I mentioned the large amount of $$$ I'm hoping to get. Fingers crossed everyone!! That money could go a long way.....

Just what a sponsor wants to be, on the hook...

More details:

25 bonus points for having a SN Bag Tag (awarded only once)
15 bonus points for having an HDGA Bag Tag (awarded only once)
10 bonus point CTP's (1 at each event for all divisions)
10 Bonus points for every $100 worth of sponsorships found
5 bonus points for each child a parent/guardian brings to play an event

My goal is to award REALLY, REALLY nice trophies to the points champions at the end of the year, as well as REALLY nice prizes too!

I hope to give portable baskets to the points champs of the Intermediate, Advanced and Adv. Masters divisions, and would gladly give one to the Junior division if we have decent turnouts at the events. All Pro division points champs will receive a cash bonus at the end of the year. The amount will depend on sponsorships raised and money brought in from each qualifier.

I will be taking $1 per player from all entry fees at the qualifiers throughout the year to go toward the championship. Some of this money will go toward end of the year prizes and some will go toward the skins match at the Sunday Championship.

If there are any tournament directors in south MS that would like to get on board with the tour, all I require to get sanctioned is a $1 per player fee to go toward the tour. For this $1 per player fee you will allow YOUR players to earn points toward the championship (making it much easier for your locals to earn a spot in the finale) plus LargeMouth DG Productions will bring a slice of sponsorships raised to your event. In other words you will most likely get more out of it than you put in.... Contact me (Tony Bass) if you are interested or have questions.

More to come....

Also, if a TD chose to sanction with the 2013 LargeMouth Tour, the first 20 players that pre register for said event will receive a free LM Tour tee shirt.

Also, if a TD gets on board before the shirts are printed (looking at mid January to get the shirts done) their event name will be included in the tee-shirt design.

This is a great deal I am offerring to the TD's of South MS. For a very small fee your event will gain many benefits. Please consider my offer....

I would like to thank our first annual sponsor, Sequoyah Golf Management LLC, for their generous donation to this great tour!!! They have agreed to sponsor a round of golf for 4 for all 6 tour events this year. Valued at $340 apiece, this is a great prize for anyone who likes to swing the sticks. Thank you Joe Langford!!

Hopefully, this is just the first of many sponsors to come.... Stay tuned.

I would like to thank our 2nd annual sponsor of the LM tour, TAS garage doors of Hattiesburg for their generous donation to our great sport. Look for their information on the backs of the tour teeshirts that will be coming soon...

Thanks again Al Sanford, from the players of the Southern Nationals!!

Thank you to Academy Sports for becoming our third annual sponsor of the LARGEMOUTH TOUR. Their generous donation of gift cards will be awarded as CTP's at each event throughout the year.

Be sure and patronize Academy Sports every chance you get!

Thanks again Academy!!

I think it would be a good idea to list what the sponsorship is for each sponsor,not just this one or that one. Thanks

Thanks for the input RTG!! Hope you can make it!!

TB I am hoping to one day make one of your events. Thanks Keep up the great work!!!

Yeah! Try and make it to at least 2 of the qualifiers so you can get in the championship where big time bonuses and trophies are going to be awarded to some lucky individuals.

Hope to see you there!

At this time I would like to thank our fifth annual sponsor of this tour, Sakura Japanese restaurant of Hattiesburg, MS. Sakura has the finest sushi in town as well as a great Japanese cuisine menu. Please stop in and show the Sakura family some love from the disc golf world, as they have shown us some today! Thank you Sakura!!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

CFR GLOW CHAMPION TEEBIRDS are on sale now to raise funds for the LargeMouth Disc Golf Tour Championship. They are only $12 and all profits go directly to the championship, so please help support the tour by purchasing one.

Also, another incentive to buy is to get bonus tour points which goes toward securing your spot in the skins finale at the end of the year. Each disc purchased will net you 10 tour points.

If you missed the first stop on the tour and are looking for a way to make up that ground, this could be the answer you've been looking for. The 10 points you will receive for buying this disc is about the same as if you played in an event and beat 3 people. So get a jump on your points championship today by purchasing one...

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I have contacted Blessed Lettuce of Nawlins to do some of the hanging skateboard trophies he has done in the past for the points champions of the LM Tour. If you have never seen one before, they are some of the coolest trophies out there. They look AWESOME hanging on the wall!

I will have only 4 made and they will go to the points champions of the main men divisions (Open, Advanced & Intermediate) and of the Pro Women division.

For a sneak peek of a past one he did for the LA Open 2009, check out my latest Facebook post.

Better start getting your points!!

I thought this was a TOURNAMENT forum not an advertisement forum for a tour. Guess I am wrong!!!!

Contradicting yourself there Keith???

What does it matter to you anyway???

Just stating the reason for this forum....this belongs in the general forum. Promote you SN events here all you want.

Yeah I was thinking this was borderline also, I thought I was the only one. I will move it to general discussion. Sorry if this upsets You Tony, just look at it as getting Your info out on two forums.

This is a tour of SN events, that are tournaments. So why would this not go under the SN tournament thread like any other?

Are you making this decision on your own Eric? Because you are not the dictator of the forum, nor is Keith. I would like to hear who else on the SN board agreed with this and said you could move it b/c I totally disagree!!

I felt it was a tread for each SN event, otherwise every TD could post a thread for every tour or for TD's and clubs that host several events. If another Board member want to move back then that is fine, I won't make a big deal about it. I feel this opens a loop hole for any series to post all their event is the SN forum rather all the events are SN or not.

Like I said before hand, I am sorry that it has upset you. All Admins on the forum make moves and edits all the time without asking each other, If we did so then nothing would get done in a timely fashion. Once again I'm sorry that this has upset you.

So then you admit to taking it upon yourself to do this huh?? Without opinions from other BOD members??

I was not aware that there were so many "tour"/ miniseries under the SN umbrella that it was a problem. Please enlighten me of these other series that are all SN events???
