Did not mean to paint Steve as innocent. Just providing context. No doubt he handled communications and feedback from existing partners poorly. The people who left early in the year were not disc golf folks as far as I know. But I could be wrong. You’re wise to have recognized the potential...

Hey Folks, here's a little perspective fwiw. - Most folks know that 'Pro-only' events are generally not profitable endeavors particularly with the added cash requirements for the purse. - The DGPT partnered with TDs to run the events, DGPT brought marketing, live broadcast, course dress...

early 90's - we need to have top pro events! A-B-C tier structure created by PDGA late 90's - too many A-tiers! we need to have top pro events! Supertour created by PDGA 2000's - everyone has a SuperTour! we need to have top pro events! Majors and National Tour Created by PDGA 201X's - we...

How does a not-for-profit with a mission to ‘grow the sport’ justify competing against commercially viable for-profits with a similar mission? The NT was started at the time by the PDGA when there was no viable commercial path and the player/members prioritized increasing sponsorship to grow...

Thanks Tim and all, We evaluated a number of approaches when developing the DANCe competition concept. We arrived at what we found to be the most robust and feasible option available. As Tim mentioned, we are using the DGCR Round Rating formula, which has been proven over time, with the most...

All player/prize packages, outside of the car, contents and sponsors are scheduled to be announced next week.

Here's some information on DGCR RoundRatings: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/faq.php?mode=show&id=45

It's the average of the 2 rated rounds from a single Qualifier. Each entry into the DANCe is a separate entry, not combined. If a player plays in 4 qualifiers and enters each time - they will have 4 separate entries into the DANCe; not one averaging all 4. Hope that helps.

Here's the more generic description from the news release: (note: experience is a great teacher. :) DiscGolfCenter.com has a fully developed voucher system and free shipping) Get your ticket to the DANCe! PLAY IN NATIONWIDE VIRTUAL DIVISIONS For our amateur players whose game may not be...

Hi Folks, I thought I'd share a little light on the taxes involved. They are part of life and are not unique to the NG tour. There are two components of taxes to consider: First - income tax on the prize value. Any prize of significant value requires the recipient to claim the prize of...

Especially when you consider over $800,000 of value is being returned to the competitors. :)
