The Western PA Series will consist of many events over the course of 2025 in the region. At each event, we will register you as a competitor for the series. You can earn points at each event by playing and placing. At the end of the season, per division, the individual with the most points will be crowned the winner with a Series Divisional Championship Trophy and Cash payout collected from the events prior.
Players must participate in a minimum of 3 events to qualify for the season with a maximum of 5 counting towards season points.
NEW FOR 2025: Individual PDGA divisional leaderboards have been done away with. In their place, we will be consolidating the divisions in WPAS to 4 categories. They are as follows.
--Division 1 - All Pros
--Division 2 - Advanced and Intermediate Amateurs
--Division 3 - Recreational and Novice Amateurs
--Division 4 - Age Protected Amateurs and Juniors
See the comments section for a changelog and reasoning behind all changes.
For examples of what these leaderboards look like based on 2024's results, please look at the 2024 leaderboards on DGscene https://www.discgolfscene.com/series/36881/2nd-annual-western-pennsylvania-series-wpas/leaderboards
Note that ensuring you meet the minimum played event total and playing the Series Majors are the surest ways to score highly on points!
The Point Structure is as follows:
-Up to 100 points based on the percentage of the field beaten
-1/2 point for each player in the field beaten
-Points for podium finishes (1st = 20, 2nd = 10, 3rd = 5)
-1 Point per event played in, up to 5 total points for the Series
-Your best 5 events will count towards the point total
-Series founding events (Winter's End Warmup, Hunter Farm Huckfest, Summer's End Open and Autumn's End) are worth 1.5 points. These 4 events will have Camber Disc Golf Company in the event title and will be noted as such on their DGscene pages.
Series Purse Breakdown for each of the above scenarios:
Less than 100 Players = 100% to 1st place
100-249 Players = 65% to 1st place, 35% to 2nd place
250-399 Players = 55% to 1st place, 30% to 2nd place, 15% to 3rd place
400+ Players = 42.5% to 1st place, 25% to 2nd place, 15% to 3rd place, 10% to 4th place, 7.5% to 5th place
A total player count and an estimate of the purses (not including sponsorship or bonuses) will be posted after every few events.
Note that it is not Unique players. For example, if Player A plays in 3 events, they count as 3 total players for the payout breakdown.
Trophies will be awarded to the following:
- <250 players, Trophy to 1st place only
- 250 - 400 Players, trophies to 1st and 2nd
- 400+ Players, trophies to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
If you participate in events across multiple divisions (IE: Division 2 [MA2] and Division 3 [MA3]), either playing both days or changing divisions between events, we will track both, but you will only be eligible to win a single division at the end of the season. Whichever division you have the highest point total is will be the one you are eligible to win. If your rating moves you up series divisions over the course of the season, the system does not allow us to account for this. If you think this may be the case for 2025, please consider playing up a division for series events.
