The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has unveiled its 2022 event schedule and sanctioning guidelines, which are now live on the organization's website. This announcement marks a significant milestone in the disc golf calendar, with many enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the new season.
As part of this update, PDGA state and provincial coordinators can now accept requests for approval of dates for B-Tier and C-Tier events, paving the way for a diverse range of tournaments across different regions. The 2022 PDGA Event Sanctioning Form is also available online, allowing event directors to submit their sanctioning applications.
To ensure a smooth process, event directors must be current 2022 PDGA members and hold a PDGA-certified rules official certification through the dates of their respective events. Moreover, all A-Tier events are required to be fully sanctioned by December 1st, 2021, which is just around the corner.
The 2022 PDGA Tour schedule features some exciting new additions, including the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) and the EuroTour. The DGPT will kick off on February 24th with the Las Vegas Challenge and conclude on October 13th with the DGPT Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina. Meanwhile, the EuroTour will commence on March 4th at the Pro Forester in Varaždin, Croatia, and wrap up on September 23rd at the Belgian Open in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium.
The PDGA Tour schedule currently consists of various events, including A-Tiers, Majors, and Elite Series competitions. Notably, Elite Series events adhere to specific mileage restrictions: 750 miles from A-Tiers, 250 miles from B-Tiers, and 175 miles from C-Tiers for events featuring MPO and FPO divisions.
As the disc golf community eagerly awaits the start of the new season, it's essential to stay informed about upcoming events, rules, and deadlines. The PDGA has made significant efforts to streamline the sanctioning process and provide a clear roadmap for event directors. By doing so, they aim to promote a more organized and enjoyable experience for all participants.
