Hunter says Ratings Don't Matter and Brodie discusses UDisc World Rankings
Hunter and Brodie discuss their thoughts on ratings in the disc golf world, specifically UDisc World Rankings. The duo dives into how they find the official world rankings, which are still used by the Pro Tour, to be more reliable than other systems like PDGA Rankings. They also explore why some people might prefer certain ranking systems over others, such as PDJ Ratings or UDisc World Rankings. Hunter shares his poll results on Twitter, revealing that 39% of respondents prefer UDisc World Rankings, while PDGA World Rankings came in at 13%, with Disc Golf Pro Tour standings trailing behind at 18%. The conversation highlights the differences between these ranking systems and how they affect player movement and standing in the ranks.
