The previous code of conduct document written for Australian Disc Golf was created before the social media age. It has been due for revision for some time. After seeking input from our members, much discussion on the ADG Board and many drafts, we voted in our new Respect Agreement on Thursday May 6th.

In it we define the standard of respect that you need to show the game, other ADG members, the environment we play in and the community we play among, in order to retain your ADG membership. We’ve grown to over 3000 members in the past decade and this time has shown that all but very few people instinctively understand and comply with what is essentially a common sense set of guidelines. Guidelines outlining expected behavior that is no different to any other community, social or corporate setting.

As our numbers grow though, we may find times when we need to show some cultural leadership on respect. Because respect is part of the glue that holds our growing social movement together. This is our respect agreement.
