Now that more divisions are open, I suspect PDGA guidelines are going to be used for rating and divisions. The problem with allowing higher rated players to compete in lower divisions will cause problems and complaints for the PDGA. For example a 852 rated player loses MA2 division to a 913 rated player.
I agree, but, that is a bad example, a 852 rated player should be in MA3 most likely, but a 913 rated player is in the right place playing MA2. MA3 goes up to 900, MA2 goes up to 935.

Doesn't seem fair at all, I'd much rather move up to my appropriate division and play MA1/Open. I hope they fix this or lower the cushion to at least 10 points...945+ DEFINITELY shouldn't be in MA2.
