Global Disc Golf Community Unites in Historic Virtual Championship
Date Published
The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) has launched an unprecedented international virtual disc golf tournament that promises to unite players from around the world like never before. In partnership with Swedish disc manufacturer Latitude 64, WFDF presents the WFDF 2022 Virtual Sport World Team Disc Golf Championships – a groundbreaking competition set to take place entirely online.
The championship will be hosted on the popular mobile game Disc Golf Valley, which has seen an incredible surge in popularity since its launch in 2017. With over 500,000 downloads under its belt and numerous videos showcasing high-stakes tournaments going viral, it's clear that the world of disc golf is rapidly evolving to meet the changing needs of players.
According to WFDF officials, virtual sport has become increasingly important, especially in recent years. "With no travel restrictions or lockdowns to overcome," they explained, "individuals can participate in this online tournament from the comfort of their own home." This innovative format opens up a wealth of opportunities for players who may have previously been unable to compete due to location or other constraints.
The competition will feature two distinct phases. First, participating countries will hold National Qualifying rounds between January 17 and February 13. Each country has been assigned a seven-day window during which qualifying matches can be played, with the top male and female player from each country earning a coveted spot in the main event. The final tournament is scheduled to take place on February 19-20.
Players from an impressive 40 countries around the world have been invited to participate, making this truly a global affair. While there are no prizes awarded apart from the coveted World Championship title, the unique aspect of virtual competition ensures that all participants can enjoy this prestigious event without financial or logistical burdens.
