**META_DESCRIPTION:** "Join the largest women's disc golf tournament in the world on May 12, 2018. Register your event and get involved with the PDGA Women's Global Event for a fun and inclusive experience."
The wait is finally over! The PDGA Women's Global Event (WGE) is back for its fourth edition, and it's bigger than ever. On May 12, 2018, female disc golfers from around the globe will come together to compete in what promises to be the largest women's disc golf tournament in the world.
Since its inception in 2012, the WGE has seen steady growth, with numbers increasing by over 100% each time. The inaugural event had almost 600 participants across 24 states and four countries, while the second edition saw an impressive 1,060 competitors from six countries. In 2016, a record-breaking 1,437 women took part in 26 states and 10 countries.
The organizers are aiming even higher this year, targeting 2,000 players, 89 events, 39 states, and 15 countries. To achieve this goal, they need your help to spread the word about this exciting event.
This year brings some new features to the WGE. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of DiscGolfScene.com as the official registration platform for all WGE events. This user-friendly platform will make it easier for TDs (Tournament Directors) to manage their events and communicate with competitors about prizes, event information, and more.
Another exciting development is the Virtual Player's Pack, a digital package that will be available to every participant. More details about this innovative feature will be released in the coming weeks.
To ensure accurate ratings, the WGE has updated its TD requirements. For scores to be eligible for ratings, three propagators (women or men with at least eight officially rated rounds and a PDGA rating of 700 or higher) must be playing the same format. The deadline to submit scores from the two rounds is May 14th, 11:59pm EST.
A special consideration has been made for Junior players aged 12 and under, who will only need to play one round to participate in the overall Women's Global Event. However, they must still meet the propagator requirements to receive an accurate rating.
The PDGA is also excited to announce its partnership with the Disc Golf Foundation (DGF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting disc golf among women and girls. Through this collaboration, DGF aims to introduce disc golf to Girl Scout troops across the US and internationally.
If you're interested in hosting a WGE event or adding your existing PDGA-sanctioned event to the list, now is the perfect time to get involved. Simply review the information on the WGE page and FAQ section to ensure your event meets the requirements.
The PDGA also invites individuals and organizations to consider sponsoring the 2018 Women's Global Event. For more information about sponsorship packages, levels, and benefits, visit the WGE Sponsorship Info page.
