Cara: Are you planning on adjusting the pars for any of the divisions, to create new "courses" for rating propagation?
Sean, this is a great question. First of all, all divisions will be playing the same course and tees (as we have just the one Albion Albatross layout at this time).

However, I will be setting up two separate layouts in PDGA Tournament Manager and dividing the field accordingly. I will ensure there is a corresponding layout set-up in UDisc so that it doesn’t cause any confusion for counting up scores.

For clarity to all who may not have experience with the PDGA ratings system, it’s not your score vs par that matters. It is your score relative to the scratch scoring average which is the score expected from a 1000 rated player. This is determined by ratings propagators who are playing your specific layout. Dividing the field into two layouts (on the tournament management side only) effectively allows the scratch scoring average to be calculated independently by propagators for ratings for a lower skilled level of player vs a higher skilled level of player.

Thanks, Cara! This is great to hear
