COURSE
The course is located on the Óbudai Hajógyári Island in Budapest.
Generally you will drive to the course. Please note that parking is only allowed in designated areas, and it is forbidden everywhere else. Around the Tournament Center (Basket #18) there is a designated parking that can hold roughly 15-20 cars, but island visitors are also using it.
You can also take public transportation: the best option is to take the green regional tram H5 from "Batthyány-tér" metro stop (line M2), getting off at "Filatorigát" and then walk to the island (15min walk from the train stop).
Please note that the Budapest Disc Golf Open course is a temporary one, the tournament is being played in a public park. There are park visitors, and while we are doing our best to keep them away from the fariways (information tables, fb posts, etc), we can not secure an uninterrupted playing experience for you. Plese be patient with park visitors, explain them that we have a permission from the city to run the event.
Please note that you are entereing this tournament under your own responsibility, you are lieble for your actions, the tournament organisers are not liable for the actions of players.
We will have tournament tents at the course to keep us safe from the sun and the rain, and some benches where we can chill between, before and after rounds. Two refreshment and medical stations will help us stay hydrated and safe. Portable toilets will be installed and can be used by players.
The course map is almost the same as in last year with some minor changes.

DIVISIONS
The tournament will be played in the following divisions:
- MPO - open to all female and male players
- FPO - open to all female players
- MP40 - open to players of both genders who turn 40 or older in 2023
- FP40 - open to all female players who turn 40 or older in 2023
- MA4 - open to players of both genders with PDGA rating not higher than 850
- MJ18 - open to players of both gender who turn 18 or younger in 2023
Any player can enter the competition in a higher category, so all players can enter MPO, but players can only play in a lower category if their rating allows it, so someone with a rating of 851 cannot play MA4. Players who are not PDGA members and do not have a rating can play the MA4 category only if they have not played PDGA tournaments so far, or they have played PDGA tournaments and the rating average of their last 6 rounds are not more than 850.
In case the number of players in a given division does not reach at least 4, then the players registering to that division will automatically be moved to the closest matching one.
SCOREKEEPING
We will use PDGA live digital scoring on the tournament, so please make sure to keep your mobile phones charged. The password for the tournament will be sent to all players through email shortly before the tournament. Just in case, we will also have paper score sheets (weak signal may be an issue).
FORMAT AND PAYOUT
The tournament is a PDGA C-Tier event and all official rules and regulations, and all official tournament rules for this tier will apply.
The first round will be played in semi random groups in shotgun start. The second round will be played in groups by total scores (and in case of ties by lower PDGA number) in shotgun start. The third round will be played in groups by divisions and total scores (and in case of ties by lower PDGA number) in shutgun start.
Prizes will be distributed among top 25% finishers in each division that will be announced before the start of the tournament. In case of a tie(s) for positions for prizes, CTP will decide.

FOOD
Generally speaking the tournament is a self-catering event, but to make this easier:
- On both days, you will be able to order a pizza, that will be delivered to the Tournament Center around 12:30. You will need to sign-up for this, and pay the exact price (please try at least) to one of the organisers
- We will have drinks (beverages, beer) for sale at the tournament center and water will be free of charge
- In lunch break you can walk to the kayak club "Honvéd" by Hole #1, where they have all sorts of warm and cold food
