Sponsorship Referral Rewards:

Anyone who refers a sponsor to the DDGC (e.g. solicits their employer/family/friends to sponsor, pays for a sponsorship themselves, etc) will receive a “commission” of one free day pass to Dragan Field for every $25 in cash sponsorship brought in by the referral.

For the price of one referral pass, any player registered in the tournament can choose their starting hole in round one of the tournament. Hole choice is on a first-come, first-served basis with the following restrictions:

Hole 1 is ineligible.
The first player to choose a particular hole determines the division for that hole. For example, if an AM2 player chooses hole 6 as his starting hole, only players registered in AM2 may choose to start on that hole. Per PDGA rules, players must be grouped with other players in their division unless mixing is unavoidable.
- List of available holes can be found on the Registered Players List.

For the price of ten referral passes, any person can enter the DDGC in their division of choice (provided they are allowed to enter the division by PDGA rule). This offer exists only while open spots remain in the event.

For the price of thirty referral passes, any person can buy themselves a Dragan Field Season Pass good for the remainder of 2012.

Again, these are just some of the various sponsorships available for the 2012 Dragan Disc Golf Classic. For a full and more detailed list of available sponsorships and their prices, contact tournament staff.
