Questions, answered.

A theme changes league art, bag tags, and automated storytelling. It does not change scores, rules, ratings, or payouts.

Use ElevateUT Disc Golf in your browser for registration, payments, groups, and results. Score in PDGA Live unless the event explicitly offers native scoring.

Choose Start a League, then add the course, schedule, format, fees, and publish. A PDGA League Director—and any Assistant Director—must be a Certified Official.

After scores and required winner selections are complete, finalization calculates results, credits payouts, updates standings and tags, and queues reporting, recaps, and notifications.

The event page shows the exact cutoff. Shotgun registration closes at the start; tee-time and hybrid events close at the last tee time. Current signup logic adds 15 minutes of grace.

You can self-refund through your tee time, or through a shotgun start when no tee time is assigned. Refunds stop after finalization; season-package credits can have added restrictions.

Use your rating, age, and eligibility—not a guess. The registration page limits choices, and the PDGA Division Guide explains the remaining options.

PDGA Leagues allow week-to-week division changes. ElevateUT Disc Golf may lock a registration after groups, payouts, tags, or series standings depend on it; ask the director before play.

Starting holes can move as registrations and refunds change the card balance. Recheck the event page before the start.

Contact the director and combine with another group. A card under three is allowed only with director approval and an accompanying Tournament Official; continuing otherwise is a misplay.

Finalization credits awards using the event's payout settings. Your results and wallet show the amount and whether it is withdrawable or Flippy Fund credit.

Flippy Fund is non-withdrawable stored credit from deposits, refunds, promotions, or eligible awards. Use it for future ElevateUT Disc Golf purchases.

Yes. PDGA League rules let amateurs accept cash without changing status. If a ElevateUT Disc Golf event excludes MA4 from a pool, that is event configuration—not a PDGA ban.

Only players who paid into the ace pot are eligible. Confirmed aces split that event's available pot equally.

When the event shows the guarantee, ElevateUT Disc Golf raises the total eligible pot to $50 before splitting it among winners. Player-funded money is withdrawable; the top-up is Flippy Fund credit.

Buy into Super Ace, ace the named hole, and upload the required video. An admin verifies the claim before finalization and payout.

The League Director selects the recorded destination, such as a future ace pot, course fund, Super Ace pot, or another configured payout destination.

Move the flag only if your drive is closer. Photograph the flag beside your disc, then submit that photo from the event's CTP card. The latest valid move leads.

CTP is optional. It appears when the director configures a CTP hole or prize; payout eligibility also requires the event's CTP buy-in or package credit.

Sanctioned league rounds follow the Official Rules of Disc Golf and the Competition Manual, including the specific League exceptions in section 1.14.

Not necessarily. PDGA Tour Standards require one official each week. The League Director and any Assistant Director must be Certified Officials, and they may play.

No. PDGA Leagues charge no temporary membership fee. Non-current players are reported and earn hidden ratings, but cannot view official ratings or earn PDGA points until they join or renew.

PDGA updates ratings on the second Tuesday of each month. League rounds wait until the full league is complete and its official report is submitted.

Common reasons are an unfinished league report, non-current membership hiding the rating, a doubles or team format, or score/layout data still under review. Ask the director first.

Yes. They can still use ElevateUT Disc Golf registration, results, payouts, and league features, but their rounds do not receive PDGA ratings or points.

The league's configured handicap is subtracted from each raw score to create a net score for ElevateUT Disc Golf standings and payouts.

Yes, when it is sanctioned singles play. PDGA rates the raw score; the handicap changes only ElevateUT Disc Golf net standings and payouts.

Appendix B defines Best and Modified Best Throw, Worst and Tough Throw, Alternate and Modified Alternate Throw, Best Score, Best Score Alternate Throw, and Aggregate Score.

Follow the event page: its setup decides whether you choose a partner or join individually, and whether fees are charged per player or team.

The team records one hole score under the selected Appendix B format. The event page names the format and scoring tool.

Team placement determines the award. The event's payout settings determine each partner's wallet credit; results show the final split.

No. The standard PDGA League program is six to ten weeks of singles play. A separately sanctioned doubles event follows its own event requirements.

No. The PDGA does not calculate ratings for doubles or team events.

A series links multiple leagues into one schedule, standings, tag pool, or award program. Its page shows which leagues and results count.

Each series defines its own point components, weights, and counted rounds. The standings breakdown—not a generic example—is the source of truth.

Lower numbers represent stronger current positions. Finalized eligible results reassign tags under the league's configured rules.

One tag pool can span every linked league. An eligible finalized result in any of those leagues can change the shared tag order.

When enabled, players arrange a head-to-head tag match and record it through the challenge flow. The system applies the league's eligibility and exchange rules.

They are themed factions inside a league. Player performance, achievements, and course contributions add pool points without replacing individual divisions or standings.

When shown at checkout, it adds a voluntary amount to the registration total and records it for the selected course fund or project.

No. A project lead submits a documented payout or reimbursement request; approval and supporting proof are required before funds move.

Log eligible course work or check in to a volunteer project. Approved hours appear in your history and community leaderboards.

Shops can discuss sponsorships, player offers, events, and configured shop-credit payouts with the ElevateUT Disc Golf team.

Share your referral code with a new player. After their first completed event, you earn $5 withdrawable credit and they earn $5 registration credit.
