out of curiosity being that you are combining the WGE with another event in the running how will you separate this so that the women are not being propagated by the men? I only ask because the WGE for the most part is to compare the women with other women the same day across the world. So I am just curious as to how this will work. Maybe I missed it in the write up if so I apologize in advance.

2024 Spring Runoff was scheduled for the May long weekend prior to the WGE date being announced. When we learned of the WGE date, we took the opportunity to offer our female players the chance to have their first two rounds included in the global standings, and to receive an extra players pack at no cost to them. I understand what you are saying about mixed divisions playing on the same layouts affecting the ratings but, there are also other strictly WGE events in Alberta that weekend which will be available as an option to female players if that is the priority for them. We’ve added on WGE to our event in order to include the female players that will register for Spring Runoff anyway, and will take advantage of the opportunity to elevate the experience for them. There are a number of other tournaments that weekend around the globe that are +WGE and not strictly WGE events so, this practice is accepted and encouraged by the PDGA.
