5.5. - EUROPEAN OPEN CANCELLED

05/05/20

The European Open organization has decided to cancel the European Open PDGA Major event preparations for 2020. This painful decision was made after carefully considering all circumstances.

“We are no longer looking for a later date for the event in 2020, and will push our 10th European Open event to July 2021” says Jussi Meresmaa, founder of the European Open, and continues “Arranging this magnitude event during these uncertain times became an impossible task for our staff. As much as we wanted this event to happen, we needed to prioritize everyone’s health and safety.”

European Open is truly an international major with players usually attending from 15 different countries. European Open also gathers the biggest spectator crowd in disc golf, so arranging this event in full scale would not be possible this Summer. The late-summer window was too tight to make an event where all the best players in the world could safely participate in this event.

The European Open 2020 participants have been contacted by email with instructions on how to proceed. All participants can either have their 2020 event entry fee fully refunded or use it to pre-register for the 2021 European Open, date TBA. By choosing the latter option players can already secure their spot in the 2021 event. If a participant first decides to take this option but later has to withdraw from the 2021 European Open, they are still eligible to receive a full refund.
