About this tournament

Disc Downtown is bringing Disc Golf back to the streets of Grand Rapids in this second annual tournament. This year however, they're constructing this one-day temporary urban course in the sunny days of summer.

For those that experienced this event in 2017 know to register early for this one-of-a-kind tournament but for those not familiar with downtown disc golf, it's exactly that. Yes, downtown disc golf...as in closed streets, Chainstars in major intersections and under 8 lanes of thundering US-131.

Disc Downtown is a non-profit, charitable organization that focuses on introducing our beloved sport to those in urban settings. To do this, we shut down streets, create prototype discs by Discraft, introduce disc golf to the public and bang chains.



Here are the tournament details:

OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RULES/REQUIREMENTS

THE DISCS
Only official Disc Downtown approved discs are allowed in this tournament.***
We have to be safe, people. We are shooting disc golf in the city and want to introduce our sport in a positive manner. To do this, we've worked with Discraft to develop plastic safe for the streets. They're made of a sexy, flexy plastic that bounces off car windows, store fronts even humans without damage or injury.

All tournament participants will be provided with approved, "urban-safe" tournament discs for use during the tournament. (Pro & Am divisions will receive 4 discs per team/2 per person. Family Fun participants will receive one disc per player entry.)

Approved discs include Official "Urban Disco" Magnet by Discraft, Disc Downtown Buzzz by Discraft and Disc Downtown Challenger by Discraft. Use of any other disc during tournament is prohibited and will result disqualification of player and team without refund.

URBAN RULES APPLY
Meaning, safety first.

PDGA XC-TIER SANCTIONING RULES APPLY
All official, PDGA rules and regulations will be enforced. Know the code; respect the code. Represent our sport with pride.

Schedule subject to change.
