Full information about the event can be found at https://usdoubles.com/
The number of teams that can qualify for the USDGC Doubles Main Event is based on the number of teams that participate in your qualifier. The thresholds are as follows:
MEN
1-14 Teams = 1 Team qualifies
15-24 Teams = 2 Teams qualify
25+ Teams = 3 Teams qualify
WOMEN
1-4 Teams = 1 Team qualifies
5-9 Teams = 2 Teams qualify

ELIGIBILITY
This criteria applies to any team wanting to advance to the Main Event. Any team that places and does not meet all criteria will forfeit their spot to the next team.
All players must meet one of the following criteria in order 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.
