About this tournament

Come see the updates at Prince Gallitzin State Park AND help build central PA's hidden gem. All proceeds will go directly into course development including tee pads, signage, and new baskets.

This one day tournament will consist of TWO rounds and will mimic the Collegiate Disc Golf format.

ROUND1- Singles Play

ROUND 2- TEAM Format- The TEAMS round will mimic the rules for College Disc Golf. This round will be played with TWO (2) sets of teammates, one ODD pair, and one EVEN pair. The ODD set will tee off on every odd-numbered hole, while the EVEN set tees off on every even-numbered hole. After the tee shots, the team chooses which of the two lies to play. From there, the set that did not tee throws their two shots. That alternating process continues until the hole is complete. This format allows for each player to tee off the same amount of times and for teams to play as a whole. Each hole has two teams playing together as an eight-some. (Collegediscgolf.com/rules)

In the event that there are less than 4 players on a team, the individual without a partner will only have one throw per turn. (Collegediscgolf.com/rules).

Visit the College Disc Golf website for a great video explaining TEAMS play format at collegediscgolf.com/rules.

SCORING-
All singles rounds will count towards the overall team score. Singles scores from each player on a team will be averaged and rounded to the nearest whole number (.5 and .75 round up, .25 rounds down). These scores will be added to the scores from team rounds for the team's scoring total.

DIVISIONS-
High School/Middle School- Teams consist of 4 team members graduating after the 2025 School year. Students attending the same school district is preferable; however, it is NOT mandatory.

Collegiate- Teams must consist of any full time or part time college student. Disc Golf Club affiliation is not required for this event. College students attending the same university is preferable; however, it is NOT mandatory.

Open MA1 ( > 930), Open MA2, (860 to 930) and Open MA3 (<860)- These divisions are open to any enthusiast. Teams consist any of player at varying levels. (In fact, this is a great opportunity to get first-timers to participate.) Teams should take average ranking of the members to determine division.

Example- Player A- 930 rating, Player B- 870 rating, Player C-850 rating, and Player D- 810 Rating. In this case, team should enter OMA2 given the average (867.5) of each player. When is doubt, use a higher division or reach out to Patrick Baney at [email redacted].
