Basic Info:
The tournament will be played Friday to Sunday one round a day with a golf start
We will host up to 180 Players
Registration fee is 65€.
We will provide cash prices, al least 50% of registration fee.
We are preparing lots of non-cash prizes for a side events and of course trophies for the best players in each division.
The tournament will be played in seven divisions:
MPO, FPO, MJ18, FJ18, FP 40, MP40, MP50
Registration:
Just register before April 17th! After that deadline all the spots will be assigned and you will be informed if you grabbed a spot or not. The good news are: We have a total capacity of 180 players, so there will be space for almost everyone :)
If you are interested in details of registration process please read more below:
There is a maximum capacity of 180 players. Division sizes are as followed:
MJ18 - 20 players (1 national spot each country)
FJ18 - 10 players (1 national spot each country)
MPO - 60 players (3 national spots each country)
FPO - 24 players (1 national spot each country)
MP40 - 36 players (1 national spot each country)
FP40 - 10 players (1 national spot each country)
MP50 - 20 players (1 national spot each country)
The actual registration process is quite complicated and works on a wildcard based system as followed:
All interested players need to pre-register during the registration period March 18-April 17.
Each player eligible to participate in the competition must be either a legal citizen or permanent resident of one of the participating country or must temporary live within one of the participating countries for at least 18 months preceding the date of the tournament with the exception of players awarded the local organizer wildcards.
Pre-registration on the event website does not necessary mean a guaranteed spot for the competition, all participating players need to earn either an individual spot, a national spot or a wildcard.
On April 17 the pre-registration field will be frozen. In each division the pre-registered players who have at least 8 rated rounds included in their ratings calculation with the highest current PDGA rating (after April 2023 ratings update) will earn individual spots - 11 players in MJ18, 2 player FJ18, 35 players in MPO, 15 players in FPO, 25 players in MP40, 2 player FP40 and 11 players in MP50.
All other pre-registered players will be sorted within each division according to their current PDGA rating on April 17thand this ranking will form a waiting list for individual spots in the event of cancellations of players. These lists will be published on the event webpage.
Players without the PDGA rating will not be placed on the waiting lists, players with the same PDGA rating will be sorted according to their last previous different rating (player with a higher one will be placed higher). The same tie-breaker will be used in case of a tie for the last available individual spot.
Only players from 8 CEDGC countries can earn individual spots and placed on the waiting list for individual spots, all other entries will be ignored.
The national disc golf governing bodies in 8 participating countries will also publish by April 17 their own national rankings for national spots with waiting lists, specifically for each competition division, a country may also opt to left some of the positions unnamed at this point, with adding the names later, they just need to claim their spots (and pay the associated fees).
The highest placed players in each country who are pre-registered but did not earn an individual spot (1 in MJ18, 1 in FJ18, 3 in MPO, 1 in FPO, 1 in MP40, 1 in FP40 and 1 in MP50) will earn national spots.
Countries can give up some of their national spots, in that case these spots will be distributed to the individual spots to the highest placed players in the corresponding division on the individual spots waiting list.
In case of a cancellation of an individual spot, a player placed highest on the waiting list (sorted according to the April 17th PDGA ratings) in the same division will earn the spot. It can theoretically be a player with assigned national spot, in that case, the spot of the player is changed from national to individual and the next player on the country ranking in the same division from the same country will be given the emptied national spot.
National spots awarded after April 17 can be awarded to players who are not preregistered, such players have always one week to pre-register after the spot is assigned to them.
Countries can change the order on their country national spot waiting lists as they like, they just need to inform the event organizer about any changes. This allows countries to award the national spots based on the performance of players later during the season (i.e. to first claim unnamed spots but later submit the ranking of players with names).
The limited amount of tournament organizer wildcards (5 spots) can be awarded at any time to players who are not pre-registered. The selection of these players is solely on the local event organizer.
All players with any type of spot will be informed about the spot assignment with 24 hours through an email address used in pre-registration, or an email address provided by the country with their national ranking lists.
