Here’s another take on the logo. We took away the year and added the two cities that are hosting the event. Any thoughts to this design?
I will have a traveling trophy made that will not include the years or the course. My hope is after the championship gets rolling that the host courses will change every year or every couple of years.
Thoughts?

I’ve started receiving some questions about the tournament. There seems to be a lot of excitment growing for the first ever SC Disc Golf Doubles State Championship!
There has been some concern over the alternating shot format Sunday morning at Seneca. I had wanted to include a round of tough shot or worst shot but was advised by several people to not do one of those formats.
We decided to go with a round of Best Shot (the type of double used in league play) at both courses - which means we will so some serious low scoring at least two rounds. The best disc format means you or your partner needs to play well on each hole. Which makes deciding how to play the hole if your partner throws first and gets into trouble, what should you do? Play it safe? Play it like you normally would or go for the ‘big’ shot to save the team?
The alternating shot will be interesting because your partner has to ecape from a bad lie based on your shot or the other way around. I’m looking forward to not just running the event but playing in the event.
We made our announcement before a large group of players Sunday at the Seneca Spring Fling tournament. I had several players ask for a registration form and some other mention whom they were going to play with or hoping to play with. So I’m excited that others are getting excited.
The registration form is available in the right side bar. We expect this tournament to fill up fast.
Thanks
PS-The Tournament this weekend was a blast. Josh and LayLa Burgess did a great job hosting this event. Hats Off to them…
Space is limited for this tournament. Right now we are limiting the event to 36 teams/72 players. We expect the field to fill up quick. Please email or call with any questions. We must have at least three teams for there to be first place trophies for that division. We’ve received unquires so far for several pro teams, a couple of advanced and intermediate teams and from two couples wanting to play as a mixed team.
I’m hoping online registration will be available soon.

The tournament will be four rounds. Two on Saturday at Easley and two Sunday at Seneca.
The first round in Easley on Saturday will be Best Shot. That’s the same format played in all the Upstate Doubles Leagues. The most popular form of doubles. The difference this time it is bring your own partner.
The second round in Easley on Saturday will be Best Disc. That’s where each player plays his or her own disc during the round. You take the best score per hole.
The first round in Seneca on Sunday will be Alternating Shot. That’s where you and your partner alternate shots during the round. If you make the putt, your partner drives the next hole.
The second round in Seneca on Sunday will be Best Shot.
We were considering playing a round of tough shot or worst shot but some players commented they thought that format would keep people away. Worst shot is where the opposing team decides which shot of yours and your partner play from. In worst shot both players must make the putt. In tough shot the rules are the same as in worst shot other than once a putt is made you are considered to be holed out. So both players don’t have to make the putt.
Maybe we’ll do that in 2009.
I would like to hear your comments on the logo. I need to give the designer any changes. If you have thoughts, please post them here.
