Player pack and payouts will vary based on player pack item. All player packs and payouts go above and beyond the PDGA requirements.
Our unsanctioned events have a different price point and breakdown. That information can be found in the About section of each one of those events.
Each of the GJTS events will also have a Fundraising Flex Start C Tier on the Thursday or Friday before the event. This gives you an opportunity to practice and get another sanctioned round for the weekend! Each Flex Start will be $5 with a optional $5 ace pot!
If your division is full do not hesitate to get onto the waitlist for your division! Its the only way we know that you want to play! If there are spots available in another division leading up to the event we will reallocate said spots to your division if your division has people on the waitlist!
How the GJTS Points system works:
1. You will receive 5 points for attending the event.
2. You will receive 1 point for every person you beat in your division (excluding ties).
2a. Greater Joliet Tour Series Tournament Director Team Challenge will award 10 points to each member of the winning team.
3. There is a change this season! If you are rated out of your division and have to move up a division you will be able to transfer 50% of your points to your new division. This only applies if you are moving up a division, you CAN NOT take points with you if you are moving down a division.
4. You have to attend at least 2 events to qualify.
