Welcome to the Midwest Disc Supply Doubles Series

There is some important information to know:

REGISTRATION:

You will need at least the following to register:

Team Name
Player Names
Email
Phone #
PDGA# (if you have one, so we can verify ratings)

FORMAT FOR THIS EVENT

2 Rounds of 18 Holes

Round #1 Best Shot - Both players attempt every shot from tee to basket. The players then determine which shot is the better of the two and play the next shot from that location. Proceed this way on each shot until a putt is made. If the first player to putt, makes the putt, the second player does not need to putt.

Round #2 Alternate Shot – Partners take turns throwing tee shots (e.g., Player A tees off on odd-numbered holes, Player B on even-numbered holes). After the tee shot, players alternate throws regardless of who threw last on the previous hole. Only one player throws each shot per team, continuing to alternate until a putt is made. If Player A throws the tee shot, Player B throws the next shot, then Player A, and so on. Proceed this way on each hole until a putt is made.

DIVISIONS

Divisions are based on PDGA ratings:

PRO is 950 and above
AM1 is 900-949
AM2 is 899 and below

Note: Players without a PDGA rating will be assigned a division based on TD discretion.

Your division will be based on your "Team Rating". A Team Rating will be determined using the following formula:

2/3rd of the higher rated players rating
1/3rd of the lower rated players rating

For example:

Player 1 rating is 960 (2/3rd of 960 is 643)
Player 2 rating is 890 (1/3rd of 890 is 294)

Together their "Team Rating is 937 (643+294) and would most appropriately play in the 900-949 division titled AM1.

A team can always choose to "play up" to a higher division, but can never play below their team rating.

Also, ANY team with a player rated 970 or higher is automatically in the PRO division regardless of their partners rating.
