The 2008 USDGC Texas State Rep Qualifying process

The 2008 Texas State Representative to the United States Disc Golf Championships will be decided by performance in B-Tier and above events in Texas from mid-July 2007 thru mid-July 2008.
Players will be playing for Points, the player with the most points in mid-July 2008 wins.
The points are awarded in the following manner:
  • All qualified players are sorted by score.
  • Winners are awarded the top score (20 points for B-Tiers, 30 Points for above)
  • Each spot below that gets 1 point less.
  • All players receive at least 1 point.
With the dramatic increase in A and B Tier events in Texas for the coming year, next year's race will be interesting.

To qualify a player must:
(1) Be from Texas.
(2) Play in a Men's Professional Division.
(3) Play the same courses and layouts as the Mens Open Division.
(4) Not have been qualified to attend the 2008 USDGC by any other method.
(5) Agree to pay entry fees before August 1, 2008 if they win the spot.
