Lunch during the tournament
There will be a possibility to order lunch to be served during the break between the two rounds. Additional information will be sent to registered players via e-mail.
Concept of Play
The competition will take place in the following format:
Round 1 - groups will be formed with mixed categories and according to strength groups determined by the PDGA rating. We will try not to put players from the same clubs/countries in the same groups in the first round, so that through the game they can socialize with players they don't see regularly.
Round 2 - groups formed by result, without mixing categories.
Course
The course consists of 9 holes that are easier and mostly open and thus suitable for beginners. In each round, the same 9 holes will be played twice.
You can download the course map on this page in PDF format (it will be available in February 2024).
The baskets used are Disc Golf Park targets (model 2018).
The tees are set up with artificial grass carpet.
Parking
The parking lot is located next to the Juričić Winery facility.
Toilet
The toilet is located in the area of the Juričić Winery, 200m from the course.

Ace Pool game
All players who wish to do so can pay €1 in cash, which is placed in a special piggy bank.
The player who hits an ace in the tournament becomes the winner of the entire prize fund of the Ace pool. If two or more players hit an ace in the same tournament, they share the ace pool. If no player hits an ace, the ace pool is carried over to the next Lagoda tournament, and so on until the ace pool is paid out in one tournament.
A player who wants to participate in the Ace pool must pay €1 before the start of the first round. If a player hits an ace and has not paid in the ace pool before the start of the first round, then he is not entitled to the prize.
CTP Game – Closest to the pin
On hole 7 / 16 there will be an additional competition in "who threw the disc closest to the basket" during the play in the 1st and 2nd round. There will be a tape meter next to the basket post, and the player whose disc comes to rest near the basket can measure the distance from the post to the disc. The player whose disc has the smallest distance from the basket after the completion of the second round of the competition wins the prize.
For the result to be valid, the disc must be 5m or less from the basket, and you should send a photo from the distance shown on the meter to the official tournament WhatsApp group and indicate the distance in centimeters to the basket.
Overachiever Award
The award is given to the player who played the tournament on average the most above his rating (according to the current ratings on the PDGA website). All tournament participants who have a PDGA number and an active membership participate in this competition, but they need to have at least 20 rated rounds included in their rating.
Prizes and Tournament respect raffle
At the tournaments we organize, smaller prizes are awarded to the best three players in the MPO, FPO and to winners in Red, Green and Purple division, while we additionally reward all players through a raffle. The raffle is held at the end of the tournament, after the Winners ceremony. The usual top raffle prize is a disc golf backpack.
In order for a player to win a raffle prize, he must:
1. Be present at the Players meeting
2. Pay the registration fee in advance or during the tournament (no later than the beginning of the Winners ceremony)
3. Complete all rounds of the tournament
4. Register on time (mandatory check-in) if this is stated in the tournament schedule
5. To be present at the Winner ceremony
If a player is drawn in the raffle, but has not met all five criteria, he cannot claim the prize, so the next player is drawn instead.
The same player cannot win a raffle prize in two consecutive tournaments.
In the Terra Malvasia 2024 tournament, the prize cannot be won by players who won it at the Mars Springs 2024 tournament.
