Global Disc Golf

The GDG League will span 10 weeks starting on Friday, October, 21st and ending Sunday, December, 25th.

The events will unlock every Friday morning and stay open for 65 hours until Sunday night (CST). This time window will allow players from all across the Globe to compete.

Season 2 has two significant rule changes compared to Season 1:
1. NO EVENT CODES - The GDG League events will appear in the Events section without the need to enter an event code. This will help facilitate broader participation across all Disc Golf Valley players.

2. REGISTRATION ONLY FOR PRIZES - Players will not need to register to be included on the leaderboards or to be eligible for prizes. However, players WILL have to fill out the Winners Form to receive a prize.

Rules

Players are only allowed to play an Event one (1) time using one (1) DGV account. Any identified instance of a player using multiple accounts in an event may result in disqualification from this season AND from any future GDG events or leagues.
Players must complete all 36 holes of an Event to be eligible for points that week.
All award winners must FILL OUT THIS WINNERS FORM to receive a prize, and any players who attempt to accept prizes for more than one account will be disqualified from the entire season and not be eligible for any future GDG events or leagues.
Players may play all Event rounds at their own pace, but they must complete the rounds during the announced time window. If a player's rounds are not completed when the Event window locks, they will be ineligible for points that week. (See Rule #2)
Players must refrain from sharing or posting any layout specifics (holes, order, wind conditions, etc.) that don't appear on GlobalDiscGolf.club before an event begins. The intent is for all players to encounter unknown layouts equally unaware.
Players must be on the most recent release version of Disc Golf Valley to participate in the GDG League.
In the case that an Event includes unexpected and/or misconfigured layouts or bag settings, all players must continue with the round. Scores for affected rounds will count towards the week's results as if they were the intended settings.
Players will be eligible to win the weekly Latitude64 gift card each week even if they won it in previous weeks.
Global Disc Golf is not owned or operated by Disc Golf Valley, Spinoff Games, or Latitude64 and reserves the right to independently manage the rules, participation, and prize winners related to any Global Disc Golf branded event or league.
Technical glitches or issues with the Disc Golf Valley app and/or the UDisc integration will be handled if possible, but Global Disc Golf makes no guarantees that anything can be done if you experience a glitch. Please do your best to ensure you have a secure, up-to-date version of DGV and are on a solid connection when playing GDG League events.
Any unclaimed prizes at the end of the season will be redistributed to the best of GDG's ability.
Any disputes or unforeseen circumstances will be resolved by the Global Disc Golf Club commissioner. Commissioner decisions are final. Send any questions or concerns to League@GlobalDiscGolf.club.

How Scoring Works

Individual Event Scoring

Every player who finishes an event in 500th place or higher will earn points. Points will be awarded using the following formula:
501 - [Player's Placement] = Points

Example: Charlie finishes in 56th place.
- - - 501 - 56 = 445 points for the event
If multiple players tie for place, they will all receive the same points for that week.
There will be occasional Bonus Round opportunities throughout the Season. The points details for those weeks' Bonus Round(s) will be detailed on that week's page here on www.GlobalDiscGolf.club

Cumulative Season Scoring

The final season standings will be calculated by adding together all the points a player earns in each of the 10 season events + bonus events

The player with the most cumulative points across all Season 2 events will be a Global Disc Golf Legend!

Ties will only be broken when prizes are concerned.
