Major Events and A-Tier Opportunities Announced for 2018 Disc Golf Tour
Date Published
The highly anticipated 2018 Top Tier Tour Schedule has been unveiled, showcasing an exciting lineup of 11 PDGA Major events, 6 National Tour Elite Series events, 10 Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) events, and 3 Disc Golf World Tour (DGWT) events. Alongside these prominent tournaments, a range of other notable events will be featured.
For those seeking to elevate their tournament status, the application process for A-Tiers is now open. Prospective organizers must submit their requests by Friday, October 13th, 2017, to be considered for inclusion in the 2018 schedule. In order to accommodate the growing number of events, it's essential that applicants provide at least three possible dates for their tournament.
The decision to limit A-Tier tournaments to a reasonable number has been made to prevent over-saturation on the calendar. This means not all requested A-Tiers will be accepted; instead, organizers will prioritize high-profile, successful multi-year B-Tiers for potential upgrade to A-Tier status.
A total of 100 A-Tier events are expected to be scheduled in the US, with applications carefully evaluated to ensure a well-balanced and engaging tour. Those who wish to apply must submit their requests by the October 13th deadline, providing multiple date options to facilitate the scheduling process.
The schedule for the Top Tier Tour includes an impressive array of tournaments, catering to diverse regions and skill levels. Some notable events include:
* Las Vegas Challenge (February 22-25)
* Memorial Championships (February 28 - March 4)
* Waco Charity Open (March 16-18)
* Am World Doubles (April 5-8)
* NCDGC (April 11-14)
Additionally, several international events will take place throughout the year, including:
* Konopiste Open (July 12-15)
* Junior Worlds (July 10-14)
* Pro Masters Worlds (August 11-18)
* European Championships (August 15-19)
The Top Tier Tour Schedule and A-Tier application process are now open for submissions. Organizers must adhere to the guidelines outlined above, providing multiple date options and meeting the October 13th deadline.
