I am trying to figure out what division I should sign up for. I am 42 and just started playing disc golf last Oct and am just now starting to look at tournaments and leagues.
From the tournament description, it sounds like I should be in Novice or Recreational. My question was, which do I pick?
Novice says for new and 1st experience, does that mean 1st experience throwing a disc (which I am not since I started playing last Oct) or does it mean 1st experience entering an event (which I would be)?

Go ahead and sign up Rec since you have been playing almost a year.

When you check in on tournament day we can discuss more and change if we need to

Thanks. Will do, that was the way I was leaning. Just gets confusing when there are people with pdga ranking signed up for novice.

They will not stay there I will probably move them up

I was thinking the same thing. Been playing for around a year, still very new. Look forward to talking to you the day off and see if I need to change from Rec to Nov. Thanks again and looking forward to it.

Play Rec, I am hoping to have the very new players in Novice. Some if not a lot will have never even played disc golf in the Novice. If you have been playing a year you probably know what you are doing.
