2016 Rules for qualification:
There are two ways to qualify for the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship PDGA Major event (subject to change):

1) Tournaments
Top 15 percent at qualifying B-tiers, top 20 percent at qualifying A-tiers and ties for the Men's Am Advanced division only. Players that previously qualified in an event do not drop out if they qualify again. Their spot counts as a spoiler.

To those who have already qualified for this event via one of the many approved Qualifiers, you will be contacted by me, John Minicuci, through your email address that YOU have provided to the PDGA when you registered your PDGA membership. Qualifying is only the first part to you being able to compete for the United States Amateur title. To be able to play, YOU MUST REGISTER HERE ON THE SCENE. We anticipate this event to fill so registering as early as possible is key to your chances at being in the event. There are only 144 spots available.

If you believe you have qualified yet have not been contacted, please make sure you have your correct email with the PDGA. You should then send me a message letting me know where and when you think you may have qualified.

I can be reached at [email redacted]
