College Disc Golf Championship Berths Awarded to Final Nine Teams
Date Published
As the regular season of College Disc Golf comes to a close, the excitement is building towards the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships. After 24 events across the country, all but nine teams had secured their spots at the big dance next month in Augusta, Georgia. However, the final nine teams needed to be determined based on end-of-season rankings and total points standings.
To determine these last-minute qualification berths, the College Disc Golf organization considered several factors. Three berths were awarded to the highest-ranked teams that had not already qualified for the NCDGC. Two more spots went to the top schools with the highest total rankings points. Additionally, four region-specific berths were up for grabs based on total points standings within specific regions.
In the Upper Midwest, Rochester Community & Technical College secured the first spot with a strong total of 776 points, while Southwestern Community College took second place with 522 points. In the Lower Midwest, Texas A&M dominated with an impressive 890 points, earning them their qualification berth. Finally, in the Northeast region, St. Vincent claimed the top spot with over 515 points.
The final nine teams to earn a spot at the NCDGC include:
* Southern Illinois-Carbondale (1st highest ranked)
* Auburn (2nd highest ranked)
* Western Kentucky (3rd highest ranked)
* Georgia College & State University (1st in total rankings points)
* North Texas (2nd in total rankings points)
* Rochester Community & Technical College (Upper Midwest, 1st)
* Southwestern Community College (Upper Midwest, 2nd)
* Texas A&M (Lower Midwest, 1st)
* St. Vincent (Northeast, 1st)
Congratulations to these nine teams and the remaining 63 schools that have secured their spots at the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships next month in Augusta, Georgia.
