Part 1: Information for All Countries
1. Introduction
Since 2005, when the PDGA International Program was launched, PDGA activity has grown exponentially beyond
its traditional base in the USA and Canada. By December 2015 there were 4200+ current PDGA International
members and 420+ PDGA Tour events in Europe, eastern Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. All told the PDGA
now partners with 30 national disc golf and disc sports associations around the world. See Appendix 1 on PDGA
International Demographics. For more information please visit www.pdga.com/international and www.pdgaeurope.com .
Elsewhere, in other corners of the globe where disc golf is beginning to take flight, the PDGA serves as a
resource base for building the game at the grassroots level. Funding support is also available to new countries
and regions through the Marco Polo Program which was launched in 2012. For more information please see:
http://www.pdga.com/marco-polo-program .
Today the PDGA is recognized as the official body of the sport of disc golf by the World Flying Disc Federation
(WFDF), of which PDGA is an Institutional Member. In 2014 WFDF and PDGA signed a Memorandum of
Understanding regarding “the mutual governance of disc golf internationally … and the sanctioning of World
Championships events” including the establishment of a jointly managed Global Disc Golf Committee.
The PDGA International Program is steered by the International Director, who serves on behalf of the PDGA
Executive Director and Board of Directors, with input and advice provided by the EuroTour Manager, and the
European and Asia/Oceania Country Representatives, who are appointed by each participating country’s national
disc sports or disc golf governing body. The Program is also supported by the PDGA’s USA office staff, through
www.pdga.com, and the PDGA’s global database, in activities that include player ratings calculation, social media,
sponsorship of and on-site support at International Major and Championship events, the Marco Polo Program,
financial accounts management, and problem solving.
This Guide is designed to serve as the principal resource on the International Program and how it works, the roles
of and the relations between the International countries and the PDGA, the basic services provided by PDGA to
the countries, and the standards that apply to PDGA International memberships and Tour events. Please send
any questions regarding the Guide to the PDGA International Director

The basic criteria for being a PDGA affiliated country are:


Ten (10) or more current PDGA members
One (1) or more sanctioned PDGA events, hosted in country, following International event standards
PDGA support and benefits to the affiliated country includes:






Global organization, governance and related standards, including the Rules of Play, Competition Manual,
& Technical Standards
Sanctioning and promotion of events as part of the global PDGA Tour
Individual membership benefits, including player ratings
Searchable database of player, event, and country statistics at www.pdga.com
Financial assistance with the translation of key PDGA texts, including the “PDGA’s Official Rules of Disc Golf
& Competition Manual”, Officials Test, and the “What is Disc Golf” brochure, into local languages
Rights to use PDGA-affiliated names and logos including PDGA Tour & PDGA Major, provision of related
promotional materials including PDGA logo banners
Countries interested in becoming PDGA affiliated should contact the International Director for more information.
At the continental level, decisions are the responsibility of a collective Committee, notably the PDGA Europe
Committee, and the focus is on issues of collective interest and responsibility. This includes setting standards for
continental Championship events or Series such as the PDGA EuroTour, the review of disciplinary related issues
that occurred in the country, and the ongoing exploration of ways to improve and increase continental
collaboration as disc golf continues to grow.
In 2015 the PDGA began signing Memorandums of Understanding that outline the mutual recognition and support
of relationships with the affiliated country partner associations, as an initial step towards increasing the
formalization and structure of PDGA’s international relations. In 2016 plans are for PDGA to begin the process of
restructuring itself into a Federation consisting of a USA based global body with registered continental arms.
4. Country Coordinators
PDGA Country Coordinators are appointed by the national disc golf association or disc sports body.


Representation of the country to PDGA and on PDGA Committees, including the handling of PDGA related
requests from their Association and from TDs and members in their country to PDGA, and vice versa.

Coordination of PDGA activity and promotion in country, including the distribution of PDGA information to
TDs and members (International Program Guide, International Event Report form, on-line membership and

5. PDGA International Program Protocol
a. Memberships
All PDGA International memberships are submitted at http://www.pdga.com/membership as follows:
 By the individual member using their credit card or paypal. This is the preferred method because the
member is responsible for the accuracy of their own data and payment is received by PDGA when the
membership is submitted. Individual members can also enter and pay for another membership (for example
a friend or family member).
 Country Associations who collect their national players’ PDGA memberships and who wish to submit them
in batches must contact the Memberships Manager for the how-to instructions.
Prices - US$30 Professional Members or
US$20 Amateur & Junior Members
+ US$20 New member PDGA logo golf disc. All new members receive a PDGA logo mini disc.
+ US$40 Annual (4 issues) airmail subscription to the PDGA’s Discgolfer Magazine
 Each affiliated Country Coordinator receives a complementary magazine subscription
 Members receive a PDGA member card, an individual member page at www.pdga.com including event
results and player rating, the right to play in PDGA Tour events around the world, the right to play in PDGA
Major and other leading events subject to player qualification. The PDGA sends members a copy of the
Official Rules Book & Competition Manual each time a new edition is published. New members receive this
booklet as part of their membership. See Appendix 2 on The Benefits of PDGA International Membership.
 New Members who played in PDGA Tour events before they became a member can also get credit for
these event results by emailing a list of the events they played, the dates of the events, and their division and
places of finish to the Tour Manager.
b. Official’s Exam
The official’s exam is taken online at http://www.pdga.com/rules/exam . The exam is open book and may be
taken an unlimited number of times until it is passed. Once passed, the member must pay the US$10 fee to
be certified. Official’s certification is valid for 3 years. All PDGA Tournament Directors and all players
competing in a PDGA Major or in a USA National Tour Series event are required to be Certified Officials.
6
c. Event Sanctioning
All International events must be approved by the host country association before they are PDGA sanctioned.
All listed International event TDs (and assistant TDs) must be current PDGA members and certified PDGA
officials before the PDGA will sanction their event(s).
For each International event to be PDGA sanctioned the TD or country association must complete the PDGA
sanctioning agreement found here: http://www.pdga.com/pdga-event-sanctioning-agreement .
Sanctioning Fees are: US$100 A Tier, US$75 B Tier, US$50 C Tier, US$25 League.
The PDGA Office receives an event’s sanctioning info when the Submit button at the bottom of the
sanctioning agreement webpage is pushed. The event sanctioning fee can then be paid by credit card or
paypal. Sanctioning fees which are not paid when events are submitted will be added to a country’s financial
account by the Office Manager.
Upon sanctioning the PDGA Office emails an event confirmation to the TD. This email includes a link and
password to the PDGA on-line scoring system (Tournament Manager) used for uploading lists of registered
players and unofficial event results. See: http://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/manager/help.php
Exceptions:
PDGA International Major events and the European DG Championships are entered in the PDGA database
by PDGA staff and do not pay sanctioning fees. PDGA EuroTour Series events are entered in the PDGA
database by PDGA staff and pay sanctioning and player fees in Euros to the EuroTour Manager.
d. Event Reports
International TDs use the latest copy of the PDGA International TD Report form which is provided to the
Country Coordinators, and found here http://www.pdga.com/documents/pdga-international-td-report .
Each International event must email a completed event report to the PDGA Office at [email protected]
even if the TD has already loaded the event’s unofficial results using Tournament Manager to the PDGA
website. These event reports are then reviewed to ensure the information is complete and correct prior to
official entry into the PDGA database.
Where reports are late, Country Coordinators are requested to assist. TD’s with reports over 90 days late will
not be allowed to direct another sanctioned event until the reports are received and may face disciplinary
action by PDGA.
Official results are generated when the PDGA office processes batches of event reports into the database.
This is done about 20 times per year. Official PDGA player ratings are calculated and updated about 12
times a year by the PDGA Ratings Committee.
e. Corrections & Changes
Email the Memberships Manager at [email protected] whenever you have a membership related
problem or change and they will fix it. For example, when a member has not received something from PDGA
that they paid for, or they have a change of address, or their name is not correct in the PDGA database.
Email the International Director at [email protected] with any changes or corrections to an event’s
information, or official results such as missing player PDGA#s, wrong player score or payout amount, etc.
f. Financial Management
It is the shared responsibility of the Country Associations and the PDGA Office Manager to track the services
ordered and the payments made on the country accounts. Items paid for when ordered are not included in
the country accounts. Countries are expected to settle their accounts in full every 3 months. Balances of less
than $250 can be settled before the end of the calendar year. See Appendix C for the country payments
tracking form.
7
g. Payment Methods
Whenever a Country Association makes a payment to the PDGA Office they must also send the PDGA
Office Manager a list of the Membership batch(s) and Event(s) fees included in the payment, either by email
or in the details accompanying the payment. Country Associations can make payments on their accounts as
follows:
Paypal: PDGA’s paypal account is [email protected]
Credit Card: Phone the PDGA office at +1 706 261-6342 to make credit card payments.
Bank Wire Transfer: Countries wishing to settle their account by wire transfer should contact the Office
Manager for the PDGA’s bank account details.
Questions
Please send any questions regarding the International Program protocol to the PDGA International Director.

* Notes to Junior Divisions:
Any 2016 event that has pre-existing qualifying criteria for Junior divisions based on the 2015 tour year, may
apply to the Tour Manager for a waiver to use the 2015 Junior divisional age breaks at their 2016 event. Where
possible the event should also include the new Junior V & VI divisions as well.
The 2016 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships will use the original 2015 Junior divisional age breaks
(<=19, <=16, <=13, <=10) plus the new Junior V & VI divisions (<=8, <=6.)
Additional Information:
A player's official PDGA Age is based on their year of birth, NOT their birthdate. So whatever age they will be on
their birthday during the calendar tour year is their PDGA age for that entire calendar tour year and determines
their eligibility for age-based divisions. Examples:
1) If a 10 year old player will turn 11 at any time during the calendar year, their PDGA age is 11 so they are not
eligible for Junior IV during that entire calendar year, they must play Junior III.
2) If a 39 year old player will turn 40 at any time during the calendar year, their PDGA age is 40 and they are
eligible for Masters during the entire calendar year.
Ratings Based Events and Pros Playing Am
Each International Country Association is responsible for deciding if Ratings based Events and Pros Playing Am
(PPA) will be allowed in their country, and to advise their TDs accordingly. Where PPA is approved by a country,
and offered by a TD, Pro Male players that are rated < 970 and Pro Female players that are rated < 925 may
compete in certain amateur divisions that they qualify for based on the following table. Pros may NOT play in
Amateur or Junior divisions in PDGA Majors OR EuroTour Series events.

In 2015 significant changes were made to the PDGA World Championships invitation and registration systems.
There is now a specific window of time in which only qualifying International PDGA members may register. This
is to ensure that International players have fair opportunity to sign up, and to encourage and increase
International participation in the World Championships.
The number of spots reserved for International players will be commensurate with the %s of overall 2015 current
PDGA Amateur/Junior and Pro memberships that International players represent. Please note that these criteria
apply to the International Countries as a whole and not on a country by country basis. The %s of spots –
estimated at 20-25% of Pro Worlds places and 8-10% of Amateur/Junior places – also applies on a Division by
Division basis. In other words if there are a total of 40 places in FPO division, between 8 and 10 of those spots
will be reserved for Internationals. If there are a total of 40 places in FA1 division, about 4 of those places will be
reserved. Invited International players can also register when registration is opened up to all invited players,
provided there are places still available in their division. International members who do not receive an Invitation,
or who fail to register within the above windows, will be able to register when Registration is opened up to noninvitees, provided there are places still available in their division.
The 2016 Pro and Am Worlds Qualifying/Invitation Standards and Registration Schedule can be found here:

This section outlines the standards and procedures that apply to ALL PDGA Tour Events in International
Countries except for Majors, the European Championships, and EuroTour Series events. In 2015 the PDGA
International Tour included more than 450 events in 30 countries.
These standards are designed to accommodate the different event models used by each country in their
national and local level events and series. It is up to each Country Association and Tournament Director to
ensure that prevailing national standards are met.
The host country association will determine the membership requirements, if any, of national player
participation. The PDGA requires that out of country current PDGA members, who sign up on time to secure
a place in an event, be allowed to participate without paying any extra fees. Exception: This does not apply to
national championship events that are open only to nationals of the county in question.
If an event or TD does not agree with certain standards or Rules, he/she may appeal, through their Country
Coordinator, to the PDGA Tour Manager for a waiver of the condition(s) in question.

Event Entry Fees

PDGA recommends that International countries and events follow the table below in determining their entry
fees in local currency and US$. This will build consistency in events and player experiences in your country
and around the world.

Please note this table shows total entry fees. From these amounts certain items may be deducted, leaving
the NET ENTRY FEES referred to in the Tier Standards above. These deductions include:

X Tier Events




Created to accommodate alternate or experimental formats such as doubles, team events, non-basket
courses, winner-take-all, skins, match play, vintage, and overall events.
The X designation may also be used for Singles events where eligibility is limited based on host country
citizenship and/or residence (example: the Swedish National Championships)
X Tier events are sanctioned as XA, XB, and XC in accordance with tier guidelines and player points
are awarded accordingly.
Regardless of the format used, results must be easily convertible to PDGA divisions for player point
calculation and data entry. For this reason Divisional Doubles (pro, advanced, etc) and Mixed Doubles
(male/female) cannot be combined within the same event and will require separate sanctioning
agreements.
PDGA Leagues



For all countries PDGA sanctioned Leagues are handled entirely by the USA Office. Sanctioning is
US$25 per League, and there is a $1/player/week fee, half of which is kept by the League organizers.
All League fees are paid in US$ to the PDGA Office, and all League event Reports are sent directly to
the PDGA Tour Manager.
International countries should note that PDGA League formats are currently limited and sanctioned
leagues must adhere to the format. The PDGA is exploring how to accommodate other League formats
in future.
For all the information on PDGA Leagues please see: http://www.pdga.com/leagues
14
Miscellaneous
 Tiebreakers - All ties for first place MUST be determined by a sudden death playoff and the winner
MUST be awarded 1st place money and/or prizes. TDs and players may NOT elect to leave a first
place tie to stand and split the payout. Players tying for 2nd or 3rd place or any other trophy positions are
deemed by PDGA to have tied and must split cash/prize value for the positions in question. These
players may playoff or use another means for determining trophy winners but must show as finishing
tied in the official event results.
 True Amateur Payout – The PDGA recommends all events offer a True Am payout whereby most of the
Am players’ payout value is in the player packages all Amateur and Junior players receive, with only the
top finisher(s) receiving additional recognition, such as medal(s) or trophy(s). For more information see:
http://www.pdga.com/files/pdga_true_amateur_event_guidelines.pdf
 Different Pro & Am Tiers - A single event may sanction under different tiers for Pro and Amateur players
(Example: a Pro C/Am B tier event) by paying the sanctioning fee for the higher tier.
 Dual or “Split” Events – Dual events split specific divisions on to separate days of the same weekend.
Example: All Amateur divisions play on Saturday and all Pro divisions play on Sunday. Because this
format allows a single player to play both days in different divisions (Example: a player plays in MA1 on
Saturday and then also plays in MPO on Sunday) this event must be treated as two separate events for
the purposes of reporting and ratings calculations. TDs who wish to use this format submit only a single
sanctioning form and sanctioning fee, but must make note on the sanctioning form of which divisions
play on which days. The PDGA Office will then create two separate calendar entries for the event and
the TD will receive two sanctioning confirmation emails (the same password will give access to both
events in Tournament Manager.) TDs MUST treat the event as two separate events for the purposes of
uploading pre-registration or unofficial results into Tournament Manager and MUST submit two separate
TD Reports.
 Target Requirements - The following target requirements now apply to all PDGA sanctioned events:

10. PDGA Rules of Play & Competition Manual

The current PDGA Official Rules of Disc Golf are in effect at all PDGA sanctioned events.

It is the responsibility of each country association to determine how the standards and procedures
discussed in the Competition Manual are applied in their country.

The exceptions where the Competition Manual applies in full are:
 Section 1.9 on Tie Breakers
 Section 2 on Division Qualifications
 Section 3.3 on Player Misconduct
 PDGA International Major event(s)
11. Disc Golfer’s Code

The PDGA Board of Directors has approved the following code which relates to the sustainability of our
sport. The International countries are asked to assist the PDGA in promoting this universal code:
1. Use Caution: NEVER throw into a blind area or when players, spectators, pedestrians or other facility
users are within range.
2. Respect the Course: Observe all posted rules. No littering, graffiti or abuse of equipment/foliage.
3. Represent the Sport: Be positive and responsible. Teach others.

12. PDGA International Disciplinary Guidelines
Europe
Please refer to Section 16.
Asia/Oceania and other International Countries
The PDGA Disciplinary process as it relates to the International countries outside of Europe is as follows.
When an incident occurs at a PDGA sanctioned event it is the host country association that must first decide
if this matter is to be sent to the PDGA Disciplinary Committee for review. All incidents brought to the
Committee must include a completed copy of the PDGA Disciplinary Action Form (see Appendix D). If a
country association decides not to pursue a disciplinary issue, and a PDGA member disagrees, the individual
PDGA member may complete and submit the Form provided it is accompanied by the signatures of at least
10 current PDGA members.
For more information on PDGA Disciplinary related process please see:

13. Marco Polo Program
The Marco Polo Program was conceived and approved by the PDGA Board of Directors in 2011, with an
official start date of January 1, 2012. The goals of this program are to support the introduction of Disc Golf
into new countries and to strengthen its development in other countries around the world. The program will
provide funding for innovative international projects that promote the growth of Disc Golf, and that create
links between PDGA, the countries, and the local Disc Golf communities.
Grants will be provided to PDGA international members in Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, Oceania and
elsewhere, and to USA/Canada members who have the opportunity to travel overseas. Materials and
equipment purchased with grant funding must become the property of an in-country participating not-for–
profit disc golf, sports or community association or group, and not the individual participants. All projects
receiving support must promote the PDGA and its contributions as part of its project activities.
For more information on the Marco Polo Program, including the Application Form and examples of Project
Reports from some of the recipients to date please see: http://www.pdga.com/marco-polo-program .

Part 2: PDGA Europe
14. PDGA Europe Overview




PDGA Europe was established in 2006 as a Committee of the PDGA Board of Directors.
The Committee is composed of the PDGA affiliated European Country Coordinators, who represent their
Country Associations, the PDGA EuroTour Manager, and the PDGA International Director, all voting
members. The PDGA Executive Director has observer status on the Committee.
PDGA Europe is empowered to take continent-wide decisions including the setting of PDGA EuroTour
standards, the determination of continental awards winners, the review of disciplinary issues occurring in
Europe and other issues of common interest.
Certain decisions including the status of PDGA Europe, PDGA pricing structures, sponsorships and the
awarding of Major event status, require the approval of the PDGA Board and/or Executive Director.

Beginning in 2016 the PDGA Europe countries will make an annual member’s contribution to the PDGA
Europe account. These funds will be used for PDGA Europe and EuroTour awards, pdga-europe.com
operating costs, and other items to be determined by the Committee. The fee system is based on the
previous year’s current members in each country, as follows:
500+ members = € 250, 100+ members = € 100, < 100 = € 50 -, < 25 = € 0 or optional contribution.

The PDGA Europe website, skype group teleconferences, and other means are used for ongoing
communications and discussion
English is the official language of PDGA Europe.


PDGA Europe resources and information can be found at www.pdga-europe.com , including the contents

Tiebreakers for final EuroTour position will be decided based first on points earned in head to head play, and
if necessary by comparing scores in head to head play,

The latest EuroTour points standings will be posted shortly after each event at www.pdga-europe.com .

Event Finals Standards

For events with Finals, the TD will determine prior to their event, and announce at the player meeting,
which of the following formats will be used in the Final Round following regulation play:



9 holes, shotgun start = 36 players in 4somes
9 holes, staggered start = 36 players in 4somes
18 holes, shotgun start = 72 players in 4somes

Each final group should consist of 4 players. Each division with 3 or more players should have players
advance to the finals. If necessary the smallest divisions can be combined in one group.

For the larger divisions at least 25% of the total number of players in each division should participate in the
final, rounded up to make foursomes. Examples: a 25 player division would qualify at least 8 players (2
foursomes) for finals; an 87 person division would qualify at least 24 players (6 foursomes).

It is the TD's choice whether or not to let tied players play the final or if the players should be separated by
tie-breakers.

Awards will be organized in advance, will start within 15 minutes of the completion of play, and will last no
longer than 15-20 minutes. Only the trophy winners should be announced, with a separate table set up for
players to collect their envelopes and prizes. While the pro payout and amateur prizes should be distributed
as much as possible at the event it is up to each TD to determine how they will handle the payout, including
the use of post event payment systems such as wire transfer and paypal.
EuroTour Player Qualification & Registration:

Events must be open to all PDGA members - both players from Europe countries and overseas players. All
players must be current PDGA members before the day that the event starts in order to participate. It is the
responsibility of each player to provide proof of membership at tournament check-in, by presenting their
2016 PDGA membership card.

Only 1 registered player is required in order for a division to be held. Registered players must be allowed to
compete in their division of choice, and receive prizes and ET Points based on place of finish within that
division. Players in small divisions can be grouped with players from other divisions for the sake of creating
equally sized groups and flow of play.

Events must use the 12 week / 7 Stage registration system described below. The tournament website shall
list these procedures including a checkbox, which registering players need to mark, to confirm that they
have understood and agree to the registration procedures. The opening date for registration must be
announced to the PDGA Europe yahoo group at least 2 weeks in advance so that the Country Coordinators
can inform their member players accordingly.



The order of registration is based entirely on the time a registration is received.
No players may register for an event before their Stage begins.
10 spots are to be reserved for Pro Women players

A maximum of 20% of the total places in the event, and an absolute maximum of 25 individual places are to
be reserved as “Wildcards.” These places will be assigned by the host TD to players of their choice.
Wildcards are aimed at ensuring that traveling international players, top European pros who failed to
register earlier, domestic players from the host country, and players from smaller or newer European
countries also have opportunity to participate. TDs should announce how they intend on using their
Wildcards. TDs have the option to not use some or all of their Wildcards and to make those places part of
general event registration instead.


Stage 1 = Registration Weeks 1 & 2, to begin on a date announced by the TD. Only Stage 1 players who
qualify for Stage 1 in the table above may register. Payments for all players registering during Stage 1 must
be received by the tournament by the end of Stage 1. Any registering players whose payment is not
received by the end of Stage 1 will be removed from the list of registered players. If the event is filled before
the end of Stage 1 all players registering after this time will be put on a waiting list in the order in which they
registered and will not pay their entry fees.

Stage 2 = Registration Weeks 3 & 4. Only Stage 2 players who qualify for Stage 2 in the table above may
register. Payments for all players registering during Stage 2 must be received by the tournament by the end
of Stage 2. Any registering players whose payment is not received by the end of Stage 2 will be removed
from the list of registered players. If the event is filled before the end of Stage 2 all players registering after
this time will be put on a waiting list in the order in which they registered and will not pay their entry fees.

Stage 3 = Registration Weeks 5 & 6. Only Stage 3 players who qualify for Stage 3 in the table above may
register. Payments for all players registering during Stage 3 must be received by the tournament by the end
of Stage 3. Any registering players whose payment is not received by the end of Stage 3 will be removed
from the list of registered players. If the event is filled before the end of Stage 3 all players registering after
this time will be put on a waiting list in the order in which they registered and will not pay their entry fees.

Stage 4 = Registration Week 7. Open to Pro Women only until the event includes a total of 10 Pro Women,
including women who have been on the waiting list. Any registering Pro Women whose payment is not
received by the end of Stage 4 will be removed from the list of registered players.

Stage 5 = Registration Weeks 8 & 9. During this Stage the Wildcard places will be assigned. Entry fee
payments from players receiving Wildcards must be received by the end of this stage.

Stage 6 = Registration Weeks 10 & 11. If there are remaining spots available they will be offered to players
on the waiting list in the order in which said players registered. It is up to the TD how to handle this, but the
recommendation is to send an e-mail on the first day of week 10 to x number of players on the waiting list
and to give them until the last day of week 10 to pay. Then the same procedure can be followed in week 11
for possible remaining spots.

Stage 7 = Registration Week 12. Any players who withdraw are replaced by the players who are now at the
top of the waiting list. Refunds of entry fees for players who withdraw from an event after paying are at the
TD's discretion. The PDGA recommends that all paid players who withdraw at least 1 week in advance of
an event be given a 100% refund less any administrative/bank costs involved.

Stage 6: The remaining 2 spots are awarded to the 2 players at the top of the waitlist. The event is
now full at 90 players.
Stage 7: Of these 90 players, 3 withdraw. Their entry fees are refunded and their places are awarded
to first 3 remaining players on the waitlist who pay immediately. The event field is now complete.

17. PDGA Europe Voting Protocol
1. General Rules
a. Number of Votes. Each European PDGA official Country Coordinator and the PDGA EuroTour Manager
(an eligible PDGA-E member) has one vote in each PDGA Europe committee (PDGA-E) voting.
b. Abstain votes. For the purpose of these rules every “abstain” vote is counted as a cast vote. If an eligible
PDGA-E member does not vote within the voting period his/her vote is recorded as “did not vote”.
c. Automatic majority approval. If eligible PDGA-E members approve any decision at their meeting or
anywhere else by a majority of all votes in PDGA-E, the decision is automatically approved and valid
immediately. All PDGA-E members must be informed about such decision within three days through PDGA-E
discussion board.
d. Delegation. If an eligible PDGA-E member serving a particular European country as Country Coordinator
cannot participate in any PDGA-E meeting or PDGA-E online voting, he/she can delegate a substitute
representative of the country.
i. Any announcement of such delegation must be done in an electronic form - either by a post in PDGA-E
discussion board or by an email to the official list of PDGA-E members’ email addresses.
ii. The delegation announcement must include the name of the European country and the name of its official
country representative, the name of the substitute representative and date of the PDGA-E meeting.
iii. By delegation one person cannot hold more than three votes in PDGA-E, i.e. he/she cannot represent
more than three European countries.
iv. The voting right of the substitute delegate is limited to the PDGA-E meeting.
v. By delegating the official country representative loses his/her right to vote in the particular PDGA-E
meeting.
vi. A separate announcement of delegation must be issued for each PDGA-E meeting or online vote.
2. Electronic Online Voting
a. Duration of voting: at least 5 calendar days or until a majority (>50%) of all eligible PDGA-E members
votes for the same option whatever comes first.
b. Means of voting: either via PDGA-E discussion board or by an email to the official list of PDGA-E
member email addresses.
c. Minimum Quorum: at least 33% of all eligible PDGA-E members must vote for voting to be valid.
d. Number of votes needed for approval (votes with two options): the option with more votes out of the
votes cast is approved; in the case of a tie the vote of the PDGA International Coordinator decides.
e. Number of votes needed for approval (votes with more than two options): if one of the options
obtains a majority of the votes (>50%) cast at the end of the voting period, it is approved; where no such
option exists the two options with the highest number of votes advance to the second round of voting on the
same agenda; in the case of a tie for the option with the second highest number of votes all options sharing
the second highest number of votes also advance to the second round of voting; where the same repeated
tie occurs in two following rounds of voting, the vote of PDGA International Coordinator decides which
option/options from the options with the second highest number of votes advances to the next round of
voting.
f. No result. In the case that voting does not result into the approval of any option in 2d. and 2e. or the
minimum quorum is not met, voting on the same agenda must be repeated at the next PDGA-E meeting.
3. Voting at PDGA-E meetings
a. Duration of voting: voting must happen during the official PDGA-E meeting.
b. Means of voting: at official PDGA-E meetings (electronic or in person); the time of the meeting must be
officially announced to PDGA-E members at least 14 days ahead. Only present eligible PDGA-E members
and delegated substitutes can vote but non-present eligible PDGA-E members can also vote electronically or
by phone either at the time of voting or before the time of voting where the voting options are known prior to
the meeting.
27
c. Minimum Quorum: at least 33% of all eligible PDGA-E members or delegated substitutes must be
present at the time of voting to be valid.
d. Number of votes needed for approval (votes with two options): the option with more votes out of the
cast votes is approved; in the case of a draw the vote of the PDGA International Coordinator decides.
e. Number of votes needed for approval (votes with more than two options): if one of the options
obtains a majority of the votes (>50%) cast at the end of the voting period, it is approved; where no such
option exists the two options with the highest number of votes advance to the second round of voting on the
same agenda; in the case of a tie for the option with the second highest number of votes all options sharing
the second highest number of votes also advance to the second round of voting; where the same repeated
tie occurs in two following rounds of voting, the vote of PDGA International Coordinator decides which
option/options from the options with the second highest number of votes advances to the next round of
voting.
f. No result. In the case that voting does not result in the approval of any option in 3d.and 3e.,or the
minimum quorum is not met, voting on the same agenda must be repeated at the next PDGA-E meeting.
18. PDGA Europe Disciplinary Procedures
The PDGA Europe Disciplinary group is a sub-Committee of the PDGA Europe and PDGA Disciplinary
Committees. The sub-Committee is responsible for reviewing incidents that occur in Europe as follows:


All disciplinary related incidents that occur at EuroTour Series, European Championship and
European Major events
All disciplinary related incidents that occur at PDGA International Tour events that are brought to the
sub-Committee at the request of the Country Association in whose country the incident occurred
All incidents brought to the sub-Committee must include a completed copy of the PDGA Disciplinary Action
Form (see Appendix D). If a country association decides not to pursue a disciplinary issue, and a PDGA
member disagrees, the individual PDGA member may complete and submit the Form provided it is
accompanied by the signatures of at least 10 current PDGA members.
Rules of Procedure: PDGA Europe - Sub-Committee: Disciplinary Actions (SCDA)
The SCDA and its members are responsible for addressing all requests related to disciplinary incidents and
questions brought to the PDGA Europe Committee by the National Disc Golf Associations (NDGA), or
directly from PDGA members in the NDGA countries.
The SCDA is formed of seven (7) Country Coordinators from the members of the PDGA Europe Committee.
The SCDA assigns one of its members as chairman (SCC) to be in charge of organizing the SCDA’s work.
If the SCDA receives a Disciplinary Action Form, the SCC chooses one member of the SCDA as assistant
(SCA) for this special case. The SCA should not be of the same nationality as the player(s) or TD(s) involved
in the respective case.
SCC and SCA together are responsible for the proper completion of a respective case. They collect all
necessary information and are in charge of all questions related to this certain case.
Upon completion of their investigation, they present the case to the SCDA in a way facilitating a decision by
the SCDA, i.e. including all information necessary to allow decision making.
The SCC and SCA are also responsible for adhering to the time schedule of the whole process as specified
by the PDGA USA Disciplinary Committee.
The first decision to be prepared for the SCDA is whether the case should be further pursued or should be
declined by the SCDA. If the SCDA decides not to further discuss the case, the SCC will communicate this
decision to the applicants and send a short note about the case to the PDGA Europe Committee.
28
If the SDCA decides to discuss the case, SCC and SCA lead the discussion, collect additional information if
needed and present all information to the SCDA in a way facilitating a decision. The process should be
based on the rules, procedures and disciplinary actions of the PDGA USA Disciplinary Committee.
To make a decision at least five out of the seven members of the SCDA must vote on a respective case. A
declared abstention by a voting SCDA member is recognized as a vote. In order for disciplinary punishment
to be the recommended outcome, a minimum of 3 yes votes must be cast, and a majority of yes votes must
be reached. In the case of a tie between yes and no votes, the SCC's vote will be the tiebreaker.
No matter how the SCDA decides in the second phase of the process, the vote and the suggestions for
disciplinary actions must be forwarded to the PDGA USA Disciplinary Committee which makes the final
decisions. The SCC and the SCA are responsible for providing the PDGA with all information necessary and
sufficient to form a view on the case.
The SCC is in charge of briefing the applicants about the decisions as soon as possible. He also briefs the
PDGA Europe Committee in a short note about the case.
Finally all documents have to be archived so that the case can be reconstructed in the future and a data
bank can be built for the SCDA to reference in future cases.

PDGA International Membership Benefits
Part 1: What is the PDGA?
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is an international not-for-profit organization based in Georgia,
USA. Founded in 1976, the PDGA is run by its member-players, and serves as the governing body for the sport of
disc golf.
As a primary stakeholder in the growth and development of disc golf, the PDGA partners, supports, and works
with the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF), National Disc Golf and Disc Sports Associations, disc golf clubs,
parks departments, Tournament Directors, manufacturers, retailers, promoters, and the media.
The PDGA is based on an annual membership and tournament system. In 2015, the PDGA had 30000+ active
members, and sanctioned more than 2500 competitive disc golf events for men and women of all age groups and
skill levels. The PDGA Tour includes hundreds of local and regional events, the season-long National Tour and
EuroTour Series, the PDGA Professional and Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, the USDGC, and other
Major events in USA, Europe and Asia/Oceania.
Traditionally focused on the USA and Canada, PDGA activity in other countries has been growing exponentially
since 2005, when the International Program was introduced. In 2015 there were more than 4500 PDGA
international members and 450 Tour events in Europe, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand.
Elsewhere, in Latin America and other corners of the globe where disc golf is beginning to take flight, the PDGA
serves as a resource base for building the game at the grassroots level. In 2012 the PDGA also introduced the
Marco Polo Program which provides funding support for initiatives aimed at introducing and developing the game
in new countries and locales.
The PDGA has a full-time staff of eight, led by the Executive Director, who is appointed by and reports to the
volunteer Board of Directors. Part-time Consultants are also used on specific projects including the International
Program. The Board of Directors are elected by the membership, and serve three year terms. Throughout its brief
history the PDGA has relied heavily on a large cadre of dedicated volunteers – the Tournament Directors, the
Committee members, and so on - and it is these committed volunteers who are the real backbone of the
organization and the sport.
Part 2: Benefits of PDGA Membership
There are many benefits of being a current PDGA International member. Some are direct benefits to the
individual, while others are more indirect, and reflect the growth of the sport as a whole.
The direct benefits of PDGA membership include:
1. All renewing members receive a basic membership package including current year membership card, annual
tour/member information, PDGA logo bag tag and sticker.
2. New, first-time members also receive lifetime member #, new member mini, and the latest rules book.
Renewing members receive a complementary copy of the rules book whenever a new edition is printed.
3. Current members are eligible to compete in all levels of PDGA Tour events where they earn points towards
invitations to Major events including the PDGA World Championships. Current PDGA members can track
their tournament season and career results at their own personal stats pages at www.pdga.com .
4. PDGA members also gain their own very cool player rating, based on their round by round performances at
Tour events. The PDGA Ratings system measures a player’s ongoing level of play, enabling them to compare
their game with friends and rivals, and with the best disc golfers in their country and around the world.
Qualification for an increasing number of top level events is now based on player ratings.
5. Current International members also have the option to receive the informative PDGA e-newsletter (free), and
to purchase a subscription to the PDGA magazine. First-time (New) International members also have the
option to purchase a new PDGA member logo disc.
PDGA Member fees are also used to support many other activities and programs – the indirect benefits of
membership – including:
1. The development, maintenance and innovation of the PDGA database and websites.
2. The on-line worldwide Course Directory which now has more than 3000 listings in 30+ countries.
3. The work of the PDGA Staff in running the organization day to day including processing and maintenance
of the now huge memberships and events system, the associated accounting, the management and
delivery of the annual Pro and Amateur World Championships, annual refinements to the system, , and
so on.
4. Governance by the volunteer Board of Directors and the work of the volunteer Committee members who
review and revise the Rules of Play, test and approve discs and baskets for sanctioned play, develop the
Tour and competition standards, oversee the course and player ratings system, investigate Disciplinary
issues, and examine other important aspects of disc golf from the environment to sustainability to how to
grow women’s play.
5. The marketing of disc golf to the public, sponsors, and the media, including representation of the sport at
trade shows, live web TV coverage of leading events, print materials including DiscGolfer magazine,
inclusion in ESPN’s Top 10, photography, videos on disc golf instruction, leading events, great shots, etc.
6. The International Program, which is strengthening and supporting the growth of disc golf and the PDGA
brand in 30 affiliated countries in Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Beyond providing sanctioned PDGA Tour
events and the benefits of membership, the International Program fosters the globalization of the Rules,
competition formats, and other standards, all with the aim of increasing international play. The Rules book
and Competition Manual together with other key PDGA information has also been translated into and
published in several other languages. This Program is steered by the International Director with advice
and input from the PDGA Europe and Asia/Oceania Country Representatives, as appointed by each
participating country’s national disc sports or disc golf governing body. Information on this program is
available at www.pdga-europe.com and at www.pdga.com/international .
7. The International Disc Golf Center, in Wildwood Park, Columbia County, Georgia, which opened in April
2007. A fabulous resource and headquarters for the sport, the IDGC is home to the Disc Golf Hall of
Fame, the Steady Ed Headrick Museum, the PDGA offices, and 3 world class courses.
All these PDGA activities and programs build credibility for disc golf and contribute to the formalization and growth
of the sport. In short, as a PDGA member you enjoy all the direct benefits of membership as listed above, while
also supporting and promoting the development of the sport and the PDGA around the world.
Join the PDGA. The professional association for ALL disc golfers!
