Collegiate Disc Golf Season Concludes with Final Rankings and Championship Qualifiers
Date Published
The final tournaments of the 2013-2014 collegiate disc golf season have concluded, bringing an end to the California Clash and Gateway Collegiate Classic qualifier events. These competitions played a crucial role in determining which teams would earn their spots in the highly anticipated National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships. As it stands, five schools have successfully secured their places in the championship.
The next step is to calculate the end-of-season Innova Collegiate Team Rankings, which will also determine the final six 1st Round Seeds for the championship. The top two teams with the highest total ranking points at the end of the season will receive the first two seeds. The following three spots are reserved for the top-ranked teams that participated in the regular season.
The Innova Collegiate Team Rankings standings show Indian Hills Community College taking a significant lead with over 500 more points than any other team in the field. Georgia Southern narrowly edges out Penn State for the second spot, thanks in part to their impressive performance at the Innova SouthEast Collegiate Open.

2 | Georgia Southern | 1200.00

5 | North Texas | 922.22
In addition to the top-ranked teams, other notable schools that have secured their spots in the championship through the highest ranked seeds are North Texas and South Florida. Both of these teams demonstrated impressive performances throughout the season.
