Competition
The Spa Hills tournament is played as a PDGA Tier C event, with no cash prizes awarded and without offering all AM/Pro and age categories.
Our guiding principle in organizing the tournament is to provide players with an unforgettable disc golf experience, where the accompanying activities are just as important as the play itself. Instead of focusing on cash payouts, as is common in the U.S. and other countries with a more developed disc golf scene, our goal is to create a competition that encourages participation out of pure love for the sport, personal enjoyment, or the improvement of PDGA ratings.
To reduce competitive pressure and create a more relaxed atmosphere, we emphasize camaraderie and the enjoyment of the game. We believe this approach fosters better conditions for the development of the sport and mutual connections among players.
Competition Categories
- MPO (mixed open category)
- FPO (women's open category)
- Rating-based PDGA categories for all genders:
- Red (players rated up to 900)
- Green (players rated to 850)
- Purple (players rated up to 800)
The mixed PDGA rating categories are designed to help players of similar skill levels develop mutual connections while leaving room for competitive spirit and striving for victory in their category. The absence of cash prizes further contributes to a more relaxed and fun atmosphere.
For players under the age of 18, we will open junior categories, depending on interest and regardless of the number of registered participants. Junior categories will be available for every age group from MJ06/FJ06 to MJ18/FJ18, provided at least one player registers in each category.
