Hi Mike, For the Pros the point series will not include any other divisions outside MPO and FPO. Most point series including the DGPT are following this path as well. When creating the PDGA evet we also made sure to note that it's a point series so they are aware as well. The Sunstein AM events will have different divisions to encourage more rec and novice play.
