There are several levels of PDGA-sanctioned events, referred to as Tiers. Each Tier has its own set of requirements and regulations based on the PDGA Tour Standards. Higher Tiers of events, which include World Championships, PDGA Majors, Elite Series events, A-Tier events, and (beginning January 1, 2022) B-Tier events require current PDGA membership in order to participate.
This is your step-by-step guide to sanctioning a PDGA event. If you have questions or need any assistance with these steps or with your event, please ask [email protected].
1) Select a date and tier then have it approved by your area’s PDGA Coordinator.
The 2010 PDGA Tour has been amazing and is winding down and I know you have been anxiously awaiting the release of the 2011 Tour Standards and to begin submitting your sanctioning agreements for your 2011 events. There are several factors that contribute to the growth and success we are experiencing but there is no doubt that the primary reason is the hard working and often underappreciated tournament directors.
Please review these documents carefully as there have been some changes. All of the major changes have been noted in the 2011 Tour Standards document.
