03/29/25 - 03/30/25|Pampa Tournament Layout|AUSTRIA, Grametschlag


2. Pampa Open – March 29 and 30, 2025

The Academy at Trenkerhof and the Ala Nova Disc Golf Legion cordially invite you to the 2nd Pampa Open! This two-day PDGA C-Tier event consists of 3 rounds of 18 holes each in the Bucklige Welt region. Scoring will be done via PDGA Live. The Official Rules of Disc Golf of the PDGA apply.

Tournament format and course

For the tournament, the pay-to-play permanent course “Disc Golf in da Pampa” (11 holes) will be modified and expanded to a total of 18 holes. Part of the course runs across open terrain, while another part winds through forest and partially hilly terrain.

The course is playable by Friday, 03/28/2025, at 12:00 noon at the latest. Please be considerate of other disc golfers, walkers, residents, and animals.

This tournament is also the 2nd event of the Austrian Disc Golf Tour and the final of the new Early Season Tour.

Divisions and reserved spots

  • Divisions: MPO / FPO / RED (PDGA rating < 900) / MJ18 / FJ18
  • Number of participants: max. 72

PROs playing AM allowed!

Players with PDGA Professional Status (PRO membership) may also compete in the RED division.
For the RED division, no PDGA membership is required. In all other divisions, a PDGA membership is mandatory.

Prizes – 2. Pampa Open

After numerous surveys, we have decided to do without trophies. The winners will receive merchandise prizes such as gift baskets with regional foods or similar items.

Additionally, there will be a CTP, an Ace Pool, and various side events. Merchandise prizes or vouchers will also be awarded for these.

Prizes for the Early Season Tour

The winners of the Early Season Tour in the FPO and MPO divisions will receive at least 25% of the entry fees from all three tour tournaments in their division as payout. At the same time, we guarantee the following minimum prizes:

Division MPO FPO RED MJ18/FJ18
1st place €600 €200 Merchandise prize Merchandise prize
2nd place €300 €100 Merchandise prize Merchandise prize
3rd place €150 Merchandise prize Merchandise prize Merchandise prize

Additionally, the winner in each division will receive a Tour Card (worth at least €115) for the Early Season Tour 2026.

All tournaments of the Early Season Tour count toward the standings. The winners must be present at the award ceremony of the last tour event (2. Pampa Open). Otherwise, the prize will go to the next-placed competitor.

Why switch from B- to C-Tiers?

With a B-Tier, we would have to pay out prize money at each event, meaning that prize money for the tour could unfortunately not be considered. However, it is important to us to reward the tour winners and at the same time offer excellent value for money for all players.
