Rules
We play by the PDGA rules with the exemption of local rules that have first priority. The course in Valbyparken has the following local rules:1. If you land in a lake or inside the OB line of the lake, you must play from the marked drop zone with a penalty throw. This is because, we are NOT allowed to walk within a 10 meter radius of the lakes due to protected frogs and toads (see also §803.09B and §804.01B in the PDGA rules). 2. On the drive on hole 17 the tee is the dropzone, hence there is a re-tee, if your drive lands OB in the lake or inside the OB line of the lake. All other OB's than the above mentioned (roads, paths and so on) are penalized by the normal OB rules (again see §803.09B in the PDGA rules). Note: The paving stones between the grass and the road on the right side of holes 3/8 and left side of holes 12/18 are NOT OB; only the road itself (and beyond) is OB! Note also that there are mandatories on holes 1, 5 and 8. There will be clearly marked arrows by the respective trees, clearly marked mandatory lines on the grass and marked drop zones for missed mandatories. There will be NO 2-meter out-of-bounds rule in effect for this tournament. NB: Please note, that no alcohol is to be consumed before and during the rounds. We also ask you to limit smoking to a minimum to show the public, that we are a sport that wants to be taken seriously. Round starts
2 minutes ahead of the start of all rounds (except in the Open final) there will be repeated horn signals. No practice throws are allowed after these signals (§804.02 in the PDGA rules).The actual round start is announced by a long horn signal. It is not allowed to start until the signal has sounded. We also stress the 30 second rule (§801.03A in the PDGA rules) and the 3 minute rule (§803.11A in the PDGA rules), so that we will be able to stay on schedule. If the tournament has to be temporarily delayed, for example in case of a thunderstorm, this will be signalled with repeated long signals. Scorecards
The first player in each group is responsible for the group's scorecards. This includes making sure that the scorecards are taken with the group on the round and that the scorecards are returned to the tournament center after the round, so that the staff can start processing the results. Note: It is important that you return the scorecards as soon as possible after it is signed by all players.Please review all scoring procedures in the rules (§804.03) to prevent incorrect scorecards and the resulting penalty throws.

HIO is played during the Saturday rounds and first round on Sunday (rounds 1 to 3). All HIO will receive prizes (sponsored merchandise).Closest-to-pin
CTP is played during the Saturday rounds and first round on Sunday (rounds 1 to 3) on hole 18. There will be one sponsored merchandise prize for the CTP of all Am-players and one prize for the CTP of all Pro-players respectively. If a hole-in-one is made on the CTP hole, it will count as a hole-in-one, and not as a CTP. You will therefore get the prize for the hole-in-one instead.Note: Prizes for ALL hole-in-ones and closest-to-pin will be distributed at the prize ceremony after the tournament! Tournament Director
