Australian Disc Golf is pleased to announce a change to the Tour for 2016.
Summary of the changes:
• Tour events to have updated base points: ADGC 120, A tiers 100, B tiers 80, C tiers 50
• ADGC will be the first event of the tour year
• Tour points will be calculated on the final ADGC results
• The tour year will end the weekend before ADGC
• To accommodate the change ADGC 2015 will be counted in both the 2015 (first 2 rounds) and 2016 (full results) tour point calculations
• Provide PDGA sanctioning to B-tier events
• Increase Event based fees for B-tiers to $3.50 per person per event
The ADG have not made this decision lightly but we feel that this presents a number of benefits including:
• Full results of ADGC are including in the tour calculation
• Tour winners can be announced at the ADGC Players dinner
• Less presentations on the final day of ADGC
• B tiers are now more relevant for players and allow TD’s to run a significant event outside of an A tier.
• Increase more PDGA sanctioned events in Australia
