About this tournament
USDGC Doubles Qualifier at Meadowbrook Orchards – Presented by Innova Discs
Bring your Own Partner Doubles.
The USDGC Doubles Main Event is an amateur disc golfer's only opportunity to compete at the famed Winthrop Arena Course decked out in all its USDGC Pageantry. If you want to test your mettle on one of the most challenging courses in the world, this is your chance. So get qualified and let's see how you and your partner fare in the arena.
2 shotgun start rounds. Divisions will play the Blue layout both rounds.
Player Pack includes USDGC Doubles custom stamped disc for each player.
Format will be best shot for both rounds.
Seeing this is a qualifier for the USDGC Doubles at Winthrop, Only MA1 and FA1 will be opened at first. All Amateur players can sign up under MA1/FA1. So ALL amateur players are invited to sign up. If the tournament does not fill up, we will add MPO and FPO divisions at a later date but will not be able to qualify for the USDGC Doubles Main Event.
Player Eligibility:
All players must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to compete in the USDGC Doubles Main event:
The Player is not a PDGA member or does not have a player rating and has never accepted cash in a PDGA event.
The player has an Amateur Player Classification with the PDGA - meaning the player is classified as an amateur and plays in amateur divisions for prizes instead of cash. If a player plays in a Pro division and accepts cash at any time, they become classified as a Professional member. An Amateur class player has either never accepted cash, or if they have, they have later met the criteria to be reclassified from Professional back to Amateur with the PDGA.
-------------------------------------------------------
• A mixed group of pro and am-class players is not allowed.
• Players who qualify as a team must play together as a team in the main event. No substitutions, no exceptions.
• All qualified players must register online by Sunday, September 10th. No exceptions.
This Qualifier event will feature the “Win and You’re In” registration process. Winning teams from MA1 and FA1 divisions will be able to sign up for the Main Event immediately. Second and third place teams where applicable for qualifying events will be able to register at a later date once general registration opens for qualified players.
