PDGA Sanctioning Reference

C-Tier: Most common for local and regional events. Submit the sanction application at least 60 days before the event. Sanction fee is typically around $75. Must use PDGA-approved scoring.

Key requirements: PDGA-certified TD, liability insurance, official rules enforced, results submitted within 24 hours of the final round.

DiscGolfScene: Create your event listing as soon as the sanction is approved. Registration, scoring, and results all flow through DGS for PDGA reporting.

Payout rules: Pro divisions must meet PDGA minimum payout percentages. Am divisions receive merchandise payouts, not cash, except for approved exceptions.
