Why is my league "inactive"?

Why are course ratings different than the average rating?

We use a Bayesian weighting system to determine overall course ratings. This normalizes the course ratings, so that one "F-" rating or one "A+" rating will not automatically make the course the lowest/highest rated overall.

If the registration was paid, you (or the person who paid) will receive an email receipt from PayPal.

Typically, funds can be withdrawn shortly after processing. However, some PayPal accounts may be subject to transaction holds which can limit withdrawals for 7-21 days after the funds are received by the PayPal account.

DiscGolfScene.com strongly recommends Tournament Directors be aware of any transaction holds on the tournament PayPal account before opening registration.
