This year we will be offering choices on the color of t-shirt you want with your player packs. To guarantee your size of t-shirt and the color choice, you will need to be registered by September 1st, 2011. That’s registered and paid in full.
We’ll also have CFR Discs for sale this year. You can pick up a Cryztal Buzzz or a yet-to-be determined Innova Disc.
Keep checking back for details.
The SC Doubles Championship has a brand new sponsor this year and we’ve already received confirmation and/or checks from past sponsors, so we are well on our way to having another great event.
Large Sponsors to date include Seneca Light & Water/City of Seneca; Oconee County Parks, Recreation & Tourism; SC Mountain Lakes CVB; Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative; Hometown Food Store; Northwestern Supply Inc; and Chattooga Belle Farm. These are the sponsors that pay for the player packs that all players receive. Without their support, it would be much more difficult to supply a great players pack and also have decent payout for each division.
Product sponsors include Zanfel Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac cream; Vibram Disc Golf; Innova Discs; Discraft; ABC Discs; Gateway; DiscGolfStation.com; and Starter. It’s product sponsors and different players that help with donating items for CTP prizes through out the tournament.
We’ve not started seeking individual hole sponsors yet. You can sponsor a hole all four rounds of this year’s tournament for only $25. For $50 you will also get a hole sponsorship at the Triple Team Tournament and at the Chainsaw Classic. Two other events being hosted in Oconee County this year.
Registration for the 2011 SC Doubles hasn’t opened yet. Plans are to open registration sometime mid Summer. Details will be posted here and on StrangeDiscSports.com. Strange Disc Sports will be doing AM Payour Vouchers and will also be doing our online registration.
Tuesday, May 24th, will be set aside for approaching businesses in the Oconee County area that might be interested in being part of the 2011 SC Doubles Championship. If you know of any businesses that would be worthwhile to approach about sponsorship, please email me here or message me on Facebook.
I will be seeking sponsorship from businesses at $100 and higher. My goal is to land one if not two additional sponsors at the $250 or $500 level. Any business sponsoring at a level of $500 or higher will get something that will be given to all players with their logo on that item. Last year you might recall that two stash minis where part of the players pack, each with a different sponsor logo. This year we’ll be doing stash minis again with two sponsors and are looking at some other items that would be a great addition to a players pack.
Options include reusable score cards with a business logo on the back side, bag tag with logo, or a disc golf towel.If you have any strong leads, please let me know.
Northwestern Supply has come on board as a sponsor this year. They join the City of Seneca, Oconee County PRT, SC Mountain Lakes CVB, Chattooga Belle Farm, Hometown Food Stores and Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative.
We also have several product sponsor this year. Product sponsors include Disc Golf Station, Zanfel, Vibram Disc Golf, Innova Discs, Discraft, ABCdiscs, Starter Apparel and Gateway.
Individual hole sponsorships can be bought for $25 or $50 each. For $25 dollars a business will receive a sign on a hole each day. For $50 a business will receive a sign and will also be a CTP sponsor and more plugs at the players meetings and before awards and during the awarding of CTP winners.
If you would like to sponsor or know of a business we can talk to about sponsorship, please let me know.
This year the player packs will be done differently than in the past. You will be given a choice of one of three different Innova discs and one of three different Discraft discs. You will have to give a preference of your first and second choice and know you might get your third choice if you don’t register early.
If you want a t-shirt, you will need to register by September 1st. No exceptions will be made. Anyone registering after September 1st will not get a t-shirt. This includes being paid in full by September 1st.
There will be a CFR Fund Raising Discraft Disc and a CFR Fund Raising Innova Disc. I’m hoping to have these available my mid June. All I’m waiting on is the final design and then discs will be ordered.
This year we will be closing registration as soon as I have 36 teams. We will not be allowing any registrations after 36 teams. We will also have an additional division this year. We are adding Advanced Masters to the mix. The divisions offered will be Open Pro; Advanced, Intermediate, Mixed and Advanced Masters. We’re adding an Advanced Master Division due to several of the advanced teams and the intermediate teams having both players being eligible for that division.
Other changes are being considered as well. Please check back to see other announcements about this year’s SC Doubles Championship.
This July Strange Disc Sports and Adam Wright are presenting a very Strange Disc Golf Tournament. It is the first of its kind Triple Team Threat Throw Down. It will be a three-player team tournament. Divisions are AM, Pro and Mixed. Cost to play will be $75 per team or $25 per player for the Mixed and AM division. Cost for pro will be $150 per team or $50 per player. Other than the $5.00 per player that will go to Chattooga Belle Farm for hosting the event, everything will be paid back to the players in form of cash for pro and Strange Change for the Am and mixed division.
There will be side action st this event. I’m not sure if it will take place during the lunch break or following the tournament but you’ll want to be in and you’ll want to win. Simple as that. It’s not a Ring of Fire or a Throw Off. It is something completely different with a chance for the team to win prizes worth over $100. You won’t want to miss. Details to come a little later…
This year there will be several themed CTPs. We’ll have a CTP which is a Discraft CTP, Innova CTP, Vibram CTP and a Zanfel CTP. Working on ABCdisc CTP and one from Lightning. We’ll have lots of other CTPs too.
Plan is to have a CTP per division for three of the four rounds. The alternate shot round will have at least two CTPs for the entire field.
If you own or manage a business and want to sponsor a hole, cost is $25. If you would like to sponsor a CTP for a particular hole or division, cost is $50 (I’ll supply the CTP prize). We’ll also take some donated CTP prizes. Right now we’re hoping to have a minimum of 17 CTPs for the tournament.
Got word this morning of another returning sponsor for this year’s edition of the SC Doubles Championship. Blue Ridge Electric Coop has signed on again for another year. They were a sponsor in 2008 and 2010. They join Seneca Light & Water, SC Mountain Lakes CVB, Oconee County Parks, Recreation & Tourism and Chattooga Belle Farm as cash sponsors of this year’s event.
Product sponsors of the event include DiscGolfStation.com, Zanfel, Discraft and Innova. Greater Oconee Disc Golf is the sponsor club and Strange Disc Sports will be doing our AM payout this year and online registration.
We’ll have CFR discs available soon. We’ll have Crystal Buzzzes from Discraft and an undetermined Innova CFR disc. The CFR discs will be available for $20 each and will be limited to only 20 of each kind. Once we have them available and for sale, we will post here and on our Facebook page.
If you would like to sponsor the tournament as a main sponsor, hole sponsor or product sponsor, please contact me through the comment section below or through the tournament’s Facebook page. All sponsor’s will receive a sign on a hole each round each day and I will plug all sponsors during player meetings and before awards are given.
Main Sponsorship begins at $250, hole sponsorships cost $25 and CTP sponsorships cost $50. Production sponsor ships require at least two identical items for a CTP prize that will be given away during one of the rounds of play. Hole and division eligibility will be determined by the tournament director.
SC Mountain Lakes CVB has signed on again for the 3rd year in a row as a sponsor of the SC Doubles. Our financial sponsors are now Seneca Light & Water, Oconee County Parks, Recreation & Tourism, SC Mountain Lakes CVB and Chattooga Belle Farm.
It’s sponsors like these that allow us to offer the great player packs and 100 percent pay back in each division.
DiscGolfStation.com is a product sponsor of this year’s SC Doubles Championship. They’re sponsors of a Discraft themed CTP.
They sent us 8 Discraft Discs and 5 birdie bags. There will be at least one CTP for one division or possibly for the entire field that will be for Discraft Discs from DiscGolfStation.com.
We have several things in the works for this year’s tournament. AS we get more sponsors (cash and product) we’ll tell you about them on this site and plug them on our facebook page.
