Key features of a REGIONAL EVENT
Regional events are the only CDG events where programs can earn a D1 or D2 bid. All events are PDGA sanctioned with new division codes. These include:
MC1, MC2 and MC3 which distinguish the D1, D2 and D3 Mixed divisions.
FC1 will be used to distinguish the Women's D1 division.
Programs register teams for each division in which they would like to earn a D1 Mixed or D2 Mixed bid for. Specific details for the tournament and bids should be viewed on the tournament's registration page. Bids are not earned in D3 or D1 Women's divisions.
