Revisions since January 1, 2025
Clerical
- 5.06 Did Not Play, Did Not Finish, Ratings Manipulation, and Disqualification (revised February 21, 2025). This change reinstates the use of the 888 DNF code for 2025 while retaining the new disciplinary action framework.
- 3.06 Player Media and Sponsor Relations, 3.07 Vendor Policies, 6.03 Variances from the Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events (revised November 14, 2025). This change removes the word "Tour," referring to PDGA-sanctioned events collectively as the "PDGA Tour," to avoid confusion with the Disc Golf Pro Tour and indicate their universal applicability.
