After literally years of contemplation, conversation, debate, and finally an official vote, we have decided it is time for change -- to explore "new space" in the Disc Golf universe. We will be Un-sanctioning the 18th Annual Oktoberfest/HOTT Final, and the Heart Of Texas Tour will be moving forward as a non-sanctioned tournament series.
The decision has not been taken lightly, and as stated, has been under consideration for years. We need to see changes in the PDGA policies, communication, support, organization, and leadership. There needs to be more transparency, which will decrease hearsay, speculation, and drama.
It is our hope that the PDGA will let go of the old, and focus on building the new.
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new"
~ Socrates
There are other options for HOTT, and we will be exploring them.
For anyone who does not wish to play in the Oktoberfest/HOTT Final due to it not being sanctioned by the PDGA, please send an entry refund request to:
[email protected] .
We will still be adding $500 to the pro divisions, and the HOTT bonus money will be paid out as usual.
Instead of paying $3/player to the PDGA, we will pay it out to the players.
There will be more announcements on FB, and corrections to be made on our website.
"To infinity and beyond!",
