Format

Each week players will attempt to Survive which means: remain above the cut line for that given week. Ties will advance to the next round.
After Week 1, Bamananam will be using a tool to "push" the next week's event to the top X number of players from the previous week. This is the first event using this tool at this scale, so please be patient if issues arise and message Bamananam immediately if you qualify, the event is open, and you do not see the event. Facebook or Discord are preferred, but you may alternatively email at dgpokeingress@gmail.com.

All events open and close at 6am Pacific time (GMT-8)

Immunity Idols

New for this season is the hidden immunity idols in rounds 1-10 (no immunity in the final round). Immunity gives the winning player(s) a pass to the next round and can only be earned by a player who does not otherwise make the cut. The type of immunity idol will be revealed at the conclusion of the event and the winner will be displayed on the week's scoreboard. The type for a given week is selected at random from the following types:

🗿Best Accuracy: 3 points for bullseye, 2 points for C1, and 1 point for C2 in regulation. Most points wins.

🗿Best Saves: Most holes where a player missed C2 (or better) in regulation, but still scored elite par or better.

🗿Fewest Bogeys: Lowest total count of bogeys in the event.

🗿Most Pars: Highest total count of even-par holes.

🗿Most Aces: Highest total count of aces.

🗿Most Bonus Strokes: Highest number of bonus strokes gained.

🗿So Close!: Most holes reaching C2 or better in regulation without scoring elite par or better.

🗿Copycat: Most individual hole scores matching the first place player's scorecard.

Layouts

The layouts for each event are set by an algorithm that uses the following rules:

1) All 372 unique holes appear at least once (except Valley Below 5)
2) 24 random holes are repeated once.
3) No repeat holes in an event.
4) Max 2 course repeats in a round.
5) Max 3 course repeats in an Event.
6) Max one instance of Space Voyage per event. 5) Max 3 course repeats in an Event.
7) Each round within an event gets tougher and each overall event gets tougher as the events go on

The layouts and exact holes will all be discoverable ahead of time through the Scores and Results page.

Prizes

Rules

Players are only allowed to play an Event one (1) time using one (1) DGV account. Any identified instance of a player using multiple accounts in an event may result in disqualification from this season AND from any future Bamananam events or leagues.

Players may play all Event rounds at their own pace, but they must complete the rounds during the announced time window. If a player's rounds are not completed when the Event window locks, they will be eliminated.

Players must refrain from sharing or posting any layout specifics (such as wind conditions, etc.) that don't appear on Bamananam.us before an event begins. The intent is for all players to encounter layouts equally unaware.

Players are required to finish all 36 holes of the event to qualify for the next round.

In the case that an Event includes unexpected and/or misconfigured layouts or bag settings, all players must continue with the round. Scores for affected rounds will count towards the week's results as if they were the intended settings.

Survivor is not owned or operated by Disc Golf Valley, Spinoff Games, or House of Discs and reserves the right to independently manage the rules, participation, and prize winners related to any Bamananam branded event or league.

Technical glitches or issues with the Disc Golf Valley app suck. While Bamananam empathizes, scoring adjustments will not be made this season.

Any disputes or unforeseen circumstances will be resolved by Bamananam. All decisions are final. Send any questions or concerns to dgpokeingress@gmail.com or by DM to Bamananam on Facebook or Discord.
