2023 DGPT Schedule Predictions

so 2 weekends between Worlds and USWDGC and 1 weekend between USWDGC and USDGC.

So the question is, do they bother having TPWDGC the same weekend as USDGC?! The unofficial 5th Major for FPO.
Or would this finally be the year that FPO spins off from USWDGC, and is no longer a major for FPO, and TPWDGC turns into a major?

USWDGC will absolutely be the major and it will be in Burlington, NC.

The short turn around time to throw pink isn't a huge deal - its only about 2 hours from Burlington to Rock Hill.

all 3 at cedarrock for sure.

Still discussing if a 4th is needed.
Wasn't using three courses part of what made Paige Pierce so upset before the event in NorCal a few years ago? Something about not having enough practice time to know three courses well enough for the Women to play at their best?

Yes it was.

every single Womens division is offered at this event.

I didn't say the FPO would play 3 courses, rather that the event would be on 3 courses.

this is no different than say Ledgestone is happening on like 8 courses at once, but the pros are only at 2 of them.
 
Why does USWDGC have age group categories when those same categories are in US masters? Whose the current US FP40 national champion Ohn for winning the category at US masters or Jennifer Allen for winning the category at USWDGC?

USWDGC is the only time I'm aware of all year where the women's divisions are more than just the undercard for the men's event. It's the event where the attention is focused solely on Women's disc golf. It's been that way since it split off from USDGC in 2002-ish when Old Man Wallis took the event from Rock Hill to Peoria. It would seem to me like a step backward to get rid of it after 20 years as a stand alone event focused on women's disc golf and replace it with another event where the women are the undercard to MPO (coincidentally returning it right back where it started in '99).

BTW for all you PDGA-types, looking up the history of USWDGC is a nightmare with name changes and some years listed as "womens" and others as "women's". Some naming consistency in the results so you can easily look up that event would be nice. I just happened to remember that there was a women's event tagged along with the early USDGC events so I kept digging until I found them. For a good bit there I thought my memory was faulty.
 
Gasp.......Peoria with another Worlds and elevation of Ledgestone to DGPT Elite+ status. Elevation of a third Heinold venture to playoff status. Hard to believe the luck.

The links in the article don't seem to work for me.
 
Holding the new Portland Elite+ event over the top of Masters Worlds seems odd. I get that the masters folks might not like their chances against the field at the relatively long and open Blue Lake course, but I would've liked to see Feldberg and crew show out that weekend. At least we'll still have the potential for them at Milo.
