ABOUT THE EVENT:
Welcome to the 6th Annual Bert Cotton Memorial Tournament Presented by Helix Disc Golf and Supported by Innova Disc Golf. This is our sixth year for this PDGA-sanctioned tournament and a 2026 SoCal Disc Golf Series event. This year will be a C-TIER event hosted at the beautiful Palm Royale Country Club on the 18-hole, par-55 layout on our permanent Innova DISCATCHER baskets!

This event will feature two rounds of disc golf in one day, with shotgun starts for both rounds. Pizza lunch is optional and can be purchased during registration.

Amateurs will be competing for trophies only. Must be at least 3 players in a division to earn a trophy, with up to 3 trophies (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for larger divisions. Ams will get a great player pack, including a Helix NinjaPak disc golf backpack, a premium Innova tournament-stamped disc, and more swag.

Pros will be playing for cash payouts based on the amount of entries per each division plus some added cash from Helix and our tee sign sponsors.

Tee sign sponsorships will be available for $25 each. All proceeds from hole sponsorships go back into the event to boost pro payouts and support am player packs.

All pro and am divisions will play the same tees this year. It will be a mix of longs, shorts, in between and alternates. Several holes will change up between rounds, including new pin positions on 6 holes and some alternate tee locations.

SCHEDULE:

7:30am - 8:15am
Check in behind clubhouse. Am players will receive player packs at this time. All players (including pros) please check in, so we know you are there and can confirm at least 3 players are present for each group.

8:30am - 8:45am
Round 1 player's meeting. We will discuss course rules and round information, then send you out to your starting holes.

9:00am - 12:00pm
Round 1, shotgun start.

12:00pm - 1:00pm
Lunch break will last approximately 1 hour after completion of first round. Pizza lunch will be served on-site for those who purchase. If you venture off-site for the break, please check in with tournament staff beforehand. Second round start time may vary. It could be earlier than scheduled, so we don't want anyone to miss it.

1:00pm - 4:00pm
Round 2, shotgun start. Start time for round 2 is subject to change. It will happen roughly one hour after the final group has finished round 1. Round 2 may start later or earlier than scheduled! There will not be a player meeting before Round 2, so be prepared out at your posted starting holes. Please note some of the tee box locations will change between rounds. Basket locations will stay the same.

4:00pm - 4:30pm
Playoffs (if necessary) and awards presentation. Per PDGA rules, any first-place ties must be settled by a playoff. We will use a sudden-death format, playing holes 10, 11 and 18 until a winner is determined. Second/Third place ties will be settled via post-round CTP showdown on hole 9 to determine trophy winners. Pros can opt to split payouts if ending in a tie for second place or lower.
