F.01 General

1. The PDGA is committed to providing an open and inclusive environment for all players regardless of disability. To that end, Tournament Directors are authorized to hold PDGA-sanctioned events designed for, or with components involving, adaptive disc golf, as defined in this Appendix F. Nothing in this Appendix F is intended to replace or otherwise modify the PDGA policy regarding Reasonable Modification for Exemption from PDGA Rules, Regulations, and Procedures for modifications not expressly addressed herein. Further, nothing in this Appendix F is intended to create, nor shall it be construed to create, any right or entitlement for a player in a PDGA-sanctioned event to participate in an adaptive disc golf component or to utilize these rules, all of which shall be in the sole discretion of the Tournament Director to designate an event or component of an event as being an adaptive disc golf event or component. Further, except as expressly provided in this Appendix F, nothing in this Appendix F is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, create additional rights of players or obligations of the PDGA or Tournament Directors other than those required by applicable law in that jurisdiction.
2. Where an event offers a component for or is wholly designed for adaptive disc golf, the following enhancements to the Official Rules of Disc Golf and the PDGA Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events apply. Adaptive disc golf means a version of disc golf designed for participants who use a propelled mobility device. A propelled mobility device is a wheelchair or other self- or motor-propelled vehicle. Mobility devices which aid in walking but are not propelled by the player or a motor, such as a cane or crutches, are not propelled mobility devices.
3. Where an event uses these enhancements, the Director must be clear about the applicability of this Appendix to the event in all pre-registration materials.
4. This Appendix must apply either to specific divisions or to the entire event. Events using this Appendix are X-designated events as outlined by the PDGA Tour Standards and would receive or be excluded from ratings in the same manner as events of the same type (e.g., singles, team or match play, events restricted to Affiliate Club or nationality, charitable events) that use the standard Official Rules of Disc Golf and Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events.

F.02 Divisions and Eligibility

1. To foster peer-level competition, where events using these enhancements are also using a divisional system that classifies athletes by impairment, the event must assign each such classification or a subset of such classifications to a specific PDGA division or pair of PDGA divisions (e.g., a given Paralympic Sport Class or set of Sport Classes might be assigned to MA2 and FA2, while another might be assigned to FA1 and MA1).
2. For events using these enhancements, eligibility for a division due to classification by impairment under F.02.A, above, supersedes ineligibility for that division by rating.

F.03 Rule Enhancements

1. 802.04 Teeing Off. If an adaptive disc golf player uses a propelled mobility device, the wheels or other components of that device which rest on the ground to provide support, as well as the space between the wheels, are considered supporting points for the purposes of this and every other applicable rule in the Official Rules of Disc Golf.
2. 802.05 Lie. When adaptive disc golf players are using a propelled mobility device, the lie will be two meters deep instead of 30cm deep.
3. 803.02 Relief from Obstacles. Conditions such as deep mud, unnavigable terrain, or steep slopes which prevent an adaptive disc golf player using a propelled mobility device from taking a legal stance behind the marker disc are obstacles as described in 803.02.B.
4. 806.02 Out-of-Bounds. Adaptive disc golf players using a propelled mobility device obtain relief in the same manner as this section details, but those players may presume that the Director has authorized them to take up to three meters of relief.
5. 807 Completing the Hole. At the discretion of the Director, a hoop, no larger than one meter in diameter, may be placed on the playing surface and centered on the base of the target.  The hoop shall be secured to the ground to keep it from moving. At the discretion of the Director, adaptive disc golf players using a propelled mobility device in specified divisions have also completed the hole if their disc comes to rest entirely inside of or touching the hoop, with no part of the disc extending outside the hoop.
6. 813.02 Illegal Device. Adaptive disc golf players who are visually impaired may use beepers or other sound-emitting devices on discs and targets as a directional aid and for easier disc location as if the Director had declared night or snow play.
7. 3.05 Carts, Caddies, and Groups. Adaptive disc golf players using a propelled mobility device do not violate the prohibitions of 3.05.F by using that propelled mobility device.
