This is an all amateur tournament played to Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) rules, but not a PDGA tournament. The intent is to give local recreational players exposure to how a PDGA tournament is played and to learn from the experienced PDGA players.

Sponsorship from BC MacDonalds as well as donations from local players and businesses help make this event possible at a low cost to the entrants.

• Regular Lake Stevens player Steve "Cajun" Kent won the Men’s Advanced (for experienced, higher level players) with the best two rounds in the tournament. On a hot day in which many regulars struggled, Caj was on fire! He improved over his 2004 performance by 20 strokes!
• Regular Lake Stevens player Steve Rolling won the Men’s Advanced Masters (experienced players 40 and over, a.k.a., "the crusties") with a two solid rounds. He improved over his 2004 performance by 17 stokes!
• Christopher Pratt won a very tightly contested Men’s Intermediate (for less experienced, mid-level players) division by a single stroke!
• Spencer Perry won the combined Men’s Novice/Juniors (for inexperienced players just learning the game). Spencer also won Novice in 2004, though hasn’t played regularly, and so was placed in Novice again. He actually has improved greatly from a +32 to a +17 this year. It’s difficult to categorize players in a one off tournament like this, and the results can seem inconsistent. The top three - Spencer, Junior Josh Armstrong, and Jerry Couzin (in town visiting a friend, only plays about once a year) – all beat the entire Intermediate division!
• Caitlin McLellan was the only entrant in the Women’s division, playing as a novice. Though she had no straight up competition, she was 19 strokes better than the 2004 Women’s winner.

Dolf! Basket Awards
The Lake Stevens course has some of the most unusual baskets of any disc golf course. Each is a unique configuration and they’re very "challenging". Some were more "challenged" than others, including some very good, experienced golfers who were "challenged" to tears. In the spirit of fun, for putts that would have likely gone in the a regular disc catcher basket, but were rejected by a bar, blocking chains, or flew through a void where a regular basket’s chain would have caught the disc, were shots were tracked as "Dolf!"s in honor of course and basket designer Dr. Fred Chittenden. Those most "challenged" were recognized with prize discs.
