People seem to enjoy the 40/50/60 split more than the 40/55 split. I switched to 40/55 a couple of years ago and I don’t think it worked out as well as I was hoping for.
I understand changing as needs arise... what I don't get is changing the divsions AFTER the tournament is listed with divisional breakouts on dgscene.

At least as far as your points are concerned, your "primary division" in the eyes of the PDGA is MA55. Any and all points you earn in any amateur division will count toward qualifying you in the MA55 division. In some tournaments it might be advantageous for a player to finish middle of th ...

At least as far as your points are concerned, your "primary division" in the eyes of the PDGA is MA55. Any and all points you earn in any amateur division will count toward qualifying you in the MA55 division. In some tournaments it might be advantageous for a player to finish middle of the pack in MA1/MA2 instead of beating just one or two people in MA55. It's possible to game the system by looking at which divisions have more players and signing up for that division. As a 55 year old, ALL points you earn get applied to your MA55 points total.
I skipped local tourney now full because this had AM55 division.
I'll join you at MA55 if they put it back, Scott.

Not for the end of year points title Todd... Only MA55 points go towards the obelisk. :)
