Pender Island Invitational

The Pender Island Invitational (PII) is the long running fall disc golf competition on Pender Island where players compete over three to four days in the relentless pursuit of The Bark, and $5 Ace-Pots.

The PII is played on the long week-end each fall.

History

Begun in 1996 with a small group of players the PII has evolved into an anticipated annual event, where both invitations to play and a spot in a real bed are sought after by an expanding group of players from across North America.

Keepers of the Bark

(1) The 2007 tournament winner is in dispute as an appeal to the Tournament Director is underway. At issue is the inclusion of several prologue rounds in the final score.

(2) The 2006 tournament winner is not officially disputed, but rumors of violation of anti-antidoping rules swirl.

Tournament Director

With the increased popularity of the PII, a Tournament Director was appointed in 2007 to oversee rulings, protests, and player eligibility. James N. Britton is the PII's first director. The Tournament Director will also be responsible for the distribution of invitations to future PII events.
