Next Steps:

Set up registration for your event.
Call us at least one (1) week before your event to order player discs and trophy medals.
Run your event (kind of an important step).
Award the qualifier spots to the top finishing AM teams and distribute the trophy medals.
VERY IMPORTANT – USDGC Doubles Qualifiers feature the "Win and You’re In" Registration process.
Win and You’re In- If you are awarding more than 1 qualifier spot the first place team in each eligible division will be invited to register for the main event right away. All additional qualified teams will be sent information on how to register but will have a later registration date. We will communicate this later date and rule clearly when we send qualified teams the event registration information.
VERY IMPORTANT - names, PDGA #’s if applicable, email addresses for both teammates and phone numbers of the players who qualified. This information in its entirety is very important. Please make every effort to supply this information when reporting.
Player Eligibility:

All players must meet one of the following criteria 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 competes 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.
A mixed group of pro and am-class players is not allowed.
Players who qualify as a team must play together as a team in the main event. No substitutions, no exceptions.
Players may only qualify once for the USDGC Doubles Main Event



The USDGC Doubles Main Event is an amateur disc golfer's only opportunity to compete at the famed Winthrop Arena Course decked out in all its USDGC Pageantry.
