| A Stunning Location |
Our destination is Labin, a historic mining town with a population of about 10,000. Its fortified hilltop center offers charming narrow streets and stunning views. From its scenic lookouts, you can gaze upon the Kvarner Bay or the lush interior of the Istrian Peninsula.  |
| Beachside Accommodation |
Just a 15-minute drive from the course lies Rabac, a seaside gem hosting the tournament’s official hotel, Sanfior. Participants (and their companions) enjoy exclusive accommodation rates. With prices starting at just €130 for a double room (including breakfast and dinner for two), you’ll also have unlimited access to indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, and a jacuzzi. Considering all these perks, the official hotel is undoubtedly the “best buy.”  |
| A Unique Course Blending Art and Sport |
The Dubrova Sculpture Park, hosting the temporary 18-hole course, offers a unique setting where art and sport intersect. Here, you can admire artistic masterpieces created in sculpture workshops dating back to 1969 while enjoying your game. With a mix of long and short holes, technical challenges, and thoughtfully placed tees and baskets, the course is fun and engaging for players of all skill levels.  |
| More Than Just a Sport |
Beyond the competition, participants can explore the region’s rich offerings – from local attractions and wine tastings to relaxing swims in the Adriatic’s crystal-clear waters or sunbathing under the warm May sun. The tournament program also includes a group visit to a nearby winery, brewery, or similar destination, ensuring a holistic Istrian experience for all.  |
| Everyone is Welcome! |
The tournament is open to everyone – women, children, and beginners. The organizers are dedicated to providing quality conditions for underrepresented groups in disc golf, offering them an equal opportunity to enjoy the sport and compete.  |

Competition
The Masterpiece tournament is a PDGA Tier C event. Unlike other events that focus on cash prizes or a wide variety of categories, we focus on creating a memorable disc golf experience.
Our philosophy in organizing tournaments is to provide players with an unforgettable disc golf adventure where accompanying activities are just as important as the game itself. Instead of emphasizing cash prizes, as is common in the US and other countries with more developed disc golf scenes, our goal is to create a competition that encourages participation for the love of the sport, personal enjoyment, or improving PDGA ratings.
By reducing competitive pressure, we aim to foster a relaxed atmosphere that promotes camaraderie and the joy of the game. We believe this approach creates a better environment for developing the sport and building connections among players.
Competition Categories
- MPO (Mixed Open Category)
- FPO (Women's Open Category)
- Mixed Rating Categories:
- Red (Players rated up to 900)
- Green (Players rated up to 850)
- Purple (Players rated up to 800)
The mixed rating categories are designed to bring together players of similar skill levels, fostering connections while leaving room for competitive spirit and the fight for category wins. The absence of cash prizes further enhances the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
For players under 18, we will open junior categories, depending on interest and regardless of the number of registered participants. Junior categories will be available for each age group from MJ06/FJ06 to MJ18/FJ18 if at least one competitor registers.
