"Access in this area is very limited, and one of the purposes of this was to expose the game to more people and get the word out about how fast it's growing," co-tournament director Paul Aaron said.
Organizers said 60 percent of the players are from out of town, so it is expected to have a good impact on the local economy.
Play continues through the weekend.
