WELCOME to the Throwing Down the Gauntlet at Northside Christian Church, an Armory Disc Golf Gold Tier Event Sponsored by MVP Disc Sports!

This functions as a stand alone tournament (payouts as normal, etc) PLUS earns points towards the Throwing Down the Gauntlet season tour, a year-long points series of tournaments held across Texas that culminates in our Invitational Championship October 4-5th (see below for more info)

In addition to playing for yourself individually, you will also choose a faction to represent (The Steel Legion or The Woodland Syndicate) and your performance will earn points for your chosen side. Join us for the yearly battle between the two and lead your team to victory!
