I understand that I am acting as a volunteer representative of the PDGA, and that failing to adhere to the terms and conditions means that the PDGA can deny or rescind sanctioning from my event at any time (which also voids insurance coverage for events in the United States and Canada). Failure to follow the terms and conditions may also result in consequences under the PDGA Disciplinary Process. I agree to follow and enforce the Official Rules of Disc Golf, the Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events, and the USA/Canada PDGA Tour Standards or the PDGA International Tour Event Standards as applicable. If any provision of these documents is unacceptable I shall contact Event Support and request a waiver. I agree to enforce the PDGA policy on the use of alcohol or illegal substances as contained in Competition Manual 3.03. I agree that as an Event Director I am a current member of the PDGA in good standing and a certified official. I agree to ensure that each player competes in an official division for which they are eligible, based on classification, age, gender, and player rating. See Divisions, Ratings & Points Factors for more information. I agree that for all A-Tier and B-Tier events, only current PDGA members will be allowed to compete, regardless of division. If a player in question does not provide proof of membership (membership card or member status as listed on their PDGA player page) I agree that annual dues must be remitted to the PDGA before the player is allowed to participate. I agree that for C-Tier events in the United States and Canada, all players who are not current PDGA members (with the exception of those competing in a Junior division) will only be allowed to compete upon payment of a $10 fee in lieu of membership. This $10 fee does not entitle the player to the calculation of points or the assignment of a player rating. I agree that all players will compete in an officially recognized and reported divisions. Use of non-sanctioned or unofficial divisions is not permitted. I agree to award cash prizes to a minimum of 40% of the Pro field per the PDGA Tour Pay Tables. I agree either to follow the requirements of the True Amateur format as contained in Competition Manual 2.05 or else award merchandise prizes to a minimum of 45% of the Am field as per the PDGA Tour Pay Tables. This is not applicable for events outside of the United States and Canada. I agree to submit a complete event report via PDGA Tournament Manager within the deadlines specified in the PDGA Tour Standards. If an Event Director is unable to submit results electronically they should ensure that this key task is assigned to an Assistant Event Director or Event Staff with the necessary skills. I agree to submit all fees (sanctioning, insurance, player, membership, etc.) to the PDGA within the specified time frame as outlined in the PDGA Tour Standards. I agree to submit multiple event reports when I have a multi-day event with different divisions competing on each day. For any event other than a League, I agree to provide the individual Professional cash prize and retail value of Amateur/Junior player packs distributed or merchandise prizes won in the event report. I understand that it is my responsibility to ensure the event complies with all local, state, provincial, regional, national, federal, and international laws. I agree to conduct this event in accordance with all applicable health and safety regulations related to any declared public health emergency or other state of emergency in force in the relevant jurisdictions while the event is taking place (pandemics, natural disasters, chemical or radiation emergencies, etc.). I agree that League sessions must be at least 6 and no more than 10 consecutive weeks with only one round played per week. I agree not to use any personal player information acquired through this event for any purpose other than to contact the player in regards to this event. Any unauthorized use of personal player information not directly and explicitly agreed to by the player is a violation of this sanctioning agreement. I agree to provide all appropriate tax information related to the event to event participants for reporting purposes, and to Federal/National, State, and Local governmental agencies as required by law. For events subject to United States law, I understand that this means either completed 1099-MISC forms for all winners of cash prizes equal to or greater than $600 USD, or else distribution of those prizes through a third-party payment processor who is required under applicable law to issue a 1099-K to the prize recipient at or above that same $600 USD threshold.
