The Taupō Thermal Throwdown is returning for its third run on the 5th and 6th of October 2024 and will again be running as a PDGA sanctioned C-Tier, True Amateur event!
Registration will be via Disc Golf Scene and will be opening July 19th for Taupō Disc Golf members and event crew, then July 22nd for everyone else. Field is capped at 96 players. Three players are required per division, so please be prepared to change if required.
Trophies will be awarded to the winners of divisions, 2nd and 3rd place medals will be awarded to all division runner ups, so be prepared to play a sudden death playoff for these positions on holes 5, 20 and 19 on loop.
True Amateur events provide 100% of net entry fees back in value to all participants through player packs, trophies and tournament amenities, so we have an awesome player pack, lunch included on Saturday and trophies or medals up for grabs for the top three in each division. Pro players with a ranking under 970 are welcome to play in a division based on the PDGA guidelines. See: Division Ratings and Points Factors for guidelines on which division you should play if you have a PDGA ranking.
