What does a Spectator badge allow?
A total of 1,500 Spectator badges will be available for purchase for each day of the National Tour Event; Wednesday (4/28), Thursday (4/29), Friday (4/30), and Saturday (5/1). The badges will cost $20.00. Spectators can purchase the badges during the next two weeks between 2PM today (4/9) and 8PM on Friday (4/23) here. After the 23rd, badges (if still available) can be purchased on-site the day of at the venue, at the Dynamic Discs Retail Store (912 Commercial Street), or at the old Distribution Center (3601 W. 6th Ave) during player check-in and player pack pick-up on Tuesday (4/27 only). Once 1,500 badges are purchased, they will be sold out. The badges are transferable. If someone buys a badge and cannot use it, they can give it to someone else.
A limited run (300) of spectator discs will be available at the course each day during the NT for spectators to purchase.
All proceeds from Spectator Badge sales (minus a few administrative costs) will go directly into the NT Payout for the top MPO and FPO finishers.
Bearers of a spectator badge must follow these rules:
- Spectators must wear a mask the entire time they are spectating. The only exception to this rule is if a spectator is eating or drinking.
- Spectators must maintain appropriate social distancing from any other spectators on the course (6 feet).
- Spectators must remain at least 50 feet away from all competitors, caddies, and media members.
- Spectators must remain at least 100 feet from all tee boxes and baskets.
- Spectators must behave professionally, not disrupting the regular play of disc golf.
- Failure to comply with any of these rules will lead to immediate dismissal from the course and the forfeiture of a spectator’s badge.
