There are two options competitors can choose from; ‘men’s’, who will automatically be entered into the respective division in which they have registered, or ‘womens’, who will all be grouped into one encompassing division. Competitors who compete in more than one qualifier may opt for the US Virtual Divisional Challenge when registering for each and each entry is treated as a separate entry in the US Virtual Divisional Challenge. All qualifier rounds will receive a PDGA rating, the ratings average of all three Premier Event rounds will be ranked against all US Virtual Divisional Challenge competitors in that division on a national basis using the competitor’s most recent rated round to break any ties and thereafter, if necessary, . If a players rating increases after the event it will not affect previously played qualifier tournaments and challenge entries.
