Divisions
Separating players into the appropriate division is a challenge that we see at every tournament. With an event this size and players coming from various locations, it is impossible for us to know everyone's skill level. The informations below provides a guide to help you determine which division best suits you. When registering for a doubles event, you MUST choose the division of the higher skilled player on the team. We reserve the right to move any players/teams to a different division.

- Novice – This division is for players who are new to the game or play in their backyard. If we know you then this likely isn't the division for you. If you know a local bar or venue where you can play a weekly blind draw then this isn't the division for you.
(Dekaround Range: 0 – 50 points) - Intermediate – This division is designed for players who have started to play regularly/competitively and have the occasional moments of brilliance followed by rounds of inaccuracy. Players at this level play frequently either with friends or at the local weekly blind draw.
(Dekaround Range: 51 – 70 points) - Competitive – If you're competing at this level then you are likely playing at least once per week, if not more, in a competitive event. It's a good probability that you've played in a regional, conference or national event. Players at this level are talented and know how they stack up against other players.
(Dekaround Range: 71 – 90) - Advanced – The best players in the state are competing in this division. Players/teams competing in this division are playing for the biggest payouts and the title of the best player/team in the state! Nothing more needs to be said.
(Dekaround Range: 91 – 120)

Those looking for 100% payout should seek out an alternative event. Typical payout is 1 person/team for every 5 player/team entries. Additional sponsor money will be added ONLY to the Advanced Divisions.
These payouts and the admission fees ensure that we can cover our expenses (staffing and travel expenses) for putting on the highest quality event where all you have to do is show up and play! Payouts and entry fees are standardized across the country for all conference events.
- 70% plus additional sponsor money for Advanced divisions where available
- 60% for Competitive divisions
- 50% for Intermediate divisions
- Jerseys and prizes (no cash payout) for Novice divisions

PLAYER & SPECTATOR BEHAVIOR
We want everyone to have a great time and enjoy themselves. We've worked hard to provide you with an exciting and memorable experience where you can come, throw bags, compete, and meet or get re-acquainted with friends. All players abide by the ACL player and fan Code of Conduct. Any conduct we deem inappropriate will result in an immediate ejection for the facility and loss of entry fees and prize money up to that point. The tournament directors have the final call.
