Let's discuss the caddy/kids rule

[discgolfbandit]

Have the TD call the PDGA Director of Event Support for the ruling. Contact info is in the Competition Manual...introduction

Lets imagine for a second that's not possible

Lets imagine for a second that's not possible

I added more in the other thread about this. Basically...if it's not a Major or Elite series....there's no rule against it. The only rule would be about age of a caddy.

 

[roblee]

Agree with Bill. Not a rule at C tier.

 

[krupicka]

It is a rule for all tiers. CM1.13.A Parents/guardians must be responsible for their children during PDGA-sanctioned events. Neither the PDGA staff nor the event staff are responsible for the children of tournament players, spectators, etc. during events. Parents/guardians may not leave unaccompanied children at or near the scoring area, clubhouse, or any other tournament venue. Any child younger than 13 years of age who is accompanying any player group and is not a caddie must be supervised by an adult who is not part of that player group and not a caddie.

 

[BillFleming]

I erred and while I did look through both the Rules and CM...I missed that (it's in Youth Safety...not the rules about groups).

That's my fear...if its at all iffy...I look bad...and am 'that guy'
