About this tournament
Welcome to 2025’s TORONTO OPEN!
TOURNAMENT DETAILS:
Our fifth anniversary will mark some significant changes in format, and will include an unsanctioned flex event as well as the first year of PDGA sanctioning as a C-Tier event.
This event is an unsanctioned flex that is fun and casual and is the perfect tournament for anyone looking to explore tournament play, or for more seasoned tournament players to get back into the zone for the upcoming season.
The tournament will consist of 2 consecutive rounds each at Beaches Disc Golf Course and 2 consecutive rounds at Marilyn Bell Park Disc Golf Course anytime between March 8th – March 16th.
The event will be played using PDGA rules (https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf).
Snow play will be in effect! See PDGA Official Rules of Disc Golf 813.01 D - https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf/81301
The 6 ratings-based divisions used will ensure everyone competes with players of similar caliber. Check your PDGA profile to find your rating. If you’re not sure which division you should be in, we recommend you reach out to Jeff MacKeigan or Cara Hovius before registration goes live.
You’ll need to play with a minimum of 3 players who are registered in the tournament. What if you can’t find another person to play with, or you need 2 more people to make up your card? Don’t stress, and please reach out to Jeff or Cara any time and they can help set up your match. We have a list of ‘Match Makers’ (see below) who are available to help you set up a card. Asking questions in each of the dedicated course Facebook groups is also a great way to get quick answers or connect with a card.
Scoring will be completed via UDisc. Each course will have a TORONTO OPEN event listed on the Events tab in the app. Following the completion of the event, we will tabulate scores across both courses within each division and award trophies.
