BDGA Forum

Hi Seamus, In the future I guess the DoC may wish to specify exactly the format for Nationals, to avoid setting a pattern that the TD has free rein to adapt it each year, which I gather used to happen and became confusing for players. Cut from 2017 tour proposal as voted on by the membership.... Wh...

For TDs of BDGA tournament: Before the tournament is advertised: Apply to Phil Wood with the dates and details of your tournament, so he can make sure it doesn’t clash with anything nearby. In your registration process: Please make it clear that non-BDGA members will pay £1 more per day. If you cou...

Events added, but can you please let me know in advance - i would not want TDs to start publicising events as BDGA only for me to tell you they can not be included as another local event has already been requested.

Not a great deal of activity on this thread. Was really hoping to see more TDs publicising the date for their event in the coming season. Or is this really all the events taking place? As a player, not knowing tournament dates well in advance makes it impossible to plan, which in turn means it's le...

This in my mind is the correct answer, so the bdga will be adjusting the distances to more closely reflect our need/current player base.

Phil, it would be nice to get a solid answer from you. Will you allow an additional Bdga event to take place during the Euro Tours, The British Open and Nationals? Short answer, no i would not sanction an event. Long answer will be in the TD guidance doc that we are writing to help TD, which will g...

Already exists. As TDs start registering events, it will be shared (read only) to TDs.

Will also track any fees owed, just so we can keep on top of it and its all transparent.

Without some management the new system may not be at all beautiful. The laissez faire approach may work, but it could be a right mess. It was previously deemed important to space bigger events evenly throughout the year, and to meet the scheduling requirements of those courses which had limited win...

hey, Qualification to the British championship is based on the finishing position within the MPO, FPO, MPM, MA1 and MJ1 Tour points race. If you dont play on the tour and gather sufficient points, you wont qualify for the championship. Once we have started the season, we will have a picture as to th...

Hi Del,

Yes will certainly be trying to help TDs plan and space events logically but ultimately the beauty of the new system is that its all TD led.

If a td wants a decent attendance to a 2 day event, they better give plenty of notice.

Phil

all, British Open - June 2017 - Double points!

yep, we have to be conscious of events going on, but its always been an issue when scheduling.

between wfdf and eurotour/pdga europe the discgolf landscape is getting busier.

All, tour plan for 2017. There are a couple of pieces to clarify pending membership fee vote - one being BDGA membership being compulsory for an bdga event - linked to insurance. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18OS1ZQzeHL0DNEc3wrJRutcCqZsH4G0mtIoIIb8fFYI/edit?usp=sharing We have taken A LOT of f...

Guys we are going as fast as we can, the tour will be moving to the new model but we are smoothing out a few wrinkles - things that tie in to membership fees and sanctioning - membership requiring a vote by membership. I know TDs what to set plans, since im likely to TD at some point next year, im i...
