Last Chance to Register for 2013 World Championships

The countdown is almost over for those planning to attend the 2013 PDGA Amateur and Junior World Championships. With the registration deadline looming, players must act quickly to secure their spot at this year's event. As of June 28th, all registrations must be submitted online, with no walk-up registrations allowed.

For those who may need to withdraw from the competition, the last day for full refunds (minus a $10 handling fee) is also Friday, June 28th. Any withdrawals made after this date will result in players receiving their player's package by mail after AM Worlds has concluded.

Despite some divisions being filled to capacity, there are still opportunities for teams and individuals to participate. The Amateur Mixed Doubles and Junior Divisional Doubles competitions have available spots, while the MA1 and MM1 divisions have small waitlists. Players who withdraw from these divisions may be able to fill their spot, but only up to July 5th.

The pools for AM Worlds will be posted on Monday, July 1st, with player ratings being the determining factor for pool assignments. Requests for specific pool assignments are not being accepted.

In terms of available spots in the Singles Competition, the following divisions have openings due to recent withdrawals: MG1 (6 spots), MS1 (2 spots), FA1 (1 spot), FM1 (2 spots), FG1 (1 spot), MJ1 (1 spot), MJ3 (1 spot), FJ2 (2 spots), and FJ3 (1 spot).

All divisions are currently marked as "Waitlist" on the registration page, but available spots will be filled in the order that registrations are received. Credit cards will only be charged if a player is accepted into an event.

Registration for Pro Worlds is open to all current Pro PDGA members who are Certified Officials. Some men's divisions are filling slowly, and if this trend continues, spots may be moved from these divisions to create more room in the ladies' divisions, which are already filled.

There are still opportunities for Mixed Doubles teams to register, with 13 additional teams able to participate. On July 12th, registration will open to current PDGA Amateur Members who are Certified Officials and meet minimum ratings requirements.

To ensure a spot at this year's World Championships, players must be a current PDGA member and Certified Official, and register online through the designated pages: Am Worlds Registration Page or Pro Worlds Registration Page. Don't wait until it's too late – register now to secure your place in the competition!
