The PDGA requires a players pack correct? I know people hate them but if you run sanctioned events you are required to provide a value to the paying customer which = players pack
Nope.

At the option of the Tournament Director, Amateur players are allowed to play in Professional divisions for which they are eligible according to age and sex at a reduced entry fee.
At the option of the Tournament Director, Professional or Amateur players may compete for trophies only in any Amateur division offered by an event that their player rating, age and sex qualifies them for, by paying a reduced entry fee.
Players competing under "Trophy Only" are not allowed to accept cash or prizes based upon finish but are allowed to accept trophies.
Players paying full price should have priority over players paying the reduced rate. If an event or division is full, a Tournament Director may require trophy only players to pay the full price in order to maintain their position in the tournament.
