Format

This is a singles league with weekly handicap payout. Players establish a handicap after they have played two league rounds. For those who played in the winter league, handicaps have already been established. The handicap levels the playing field and makes it so that players of all skill level can compete against each other. View current handicaps here.

Statistics and Tracking

All players who participate in Spring League will have their stats tracked and receive an Infinite Rating (similar to the PDGA rating). Weekly rounds will be rated and recorded.

Season ending prizes will be awarded to players with the best combined scores at each of the four courses we play. In order to qualify for the season ending prize, you must play every course at least once. Only your best score at each course will be used towards season results. The more times you play each course the better your chance of getting a low score.
There will be four different division awards based on players end of season Infinite Rating.
Division groups will be divided by participants in each group. The estimated year end ratings for each group are as follows (subject to change based on participation):

  • 920+
  • 870 – 920
  • 820 – 870

Season ending prizes will be payed out in Infinite Bucks and total amounts will be determined by overall participation in each rating bracket. The total prize should be big enough to buy a new disc golf bag or basket for winners of EACH division group.
