Regionals require current College Disc Golf membership. Have you reached out to us? You need a team page and login before you can join and renew your CDG membership. After your join, your team can compete in any Regional event.
College Disc Golf events are organized and ran by volunteers that range from Tournament Directors with PDGA Major experience to students running their first events. There are two main types of events – conference play (league like play, more casual events) and Regionals (more competition focused events that require CDG membership and where you earn your invite to the CDGNC). All CDG Regionals are PDGA sanctioned and consist of at least round of team alternating shot doubles and singles play. More scoring and format information. Event format and layouts are determined by the TD for that event. Events can be one or two days. Find a qualifier near you – event map and schedule.
No, you do not need to qualify to compete. If you are interested in competing in Division 3 (DIII) or the Women’s Division, you do not need to qualify. Only teams interested in competing in Division 1 (DI) or Division 2 (DII) need to qualify.
To qualify, earn your invite by being one of the highest placing teams without a bid at any Regional on the schedule!

Team leaders, login and navigate to your team’s page to create new players.
Players, do you see the current season’s membership on your account page? If not, there is not a membership assigned to your account. Reach out to your team leader to assign a membership or purchase one yourself.
Team leaders, players can purchase memberships individually or you can purchase them and assign them. To assign them, navigate to your account page and click the team name you’d like to manage. Using the same email that was used during the player creation process, you can assign players to the team. You can also share a link with them to access the team.
*Team designation/assignment does not matter for memberships. The teams on your “My Account” page are for membership purposes only. A “Team” will be created each time you make a purchase. Players do not need to all be on the same team, everyone just needs a membership assigned to their account.
Team leaders, download and complete the roster form. You will have to submit the roster to your registrar for verification. Please plan accordingly.
Enjoy the journey from Conferences to Regionals to Nationals.
