The Second Annual Disc Golf Pro Tour All-Star weekend is underway and we are excited to debut an adjusted format from year one which sees players split into two teams in both the MPO and FPO division.
The weekend began on Thursday night with a draft. Team captains drafted players for their teams via snake draft and immediately had to determine where in the skills competition they would be placed. Below we list the teams and the areas they will be competing in during the skills competition.
Skills Competition Breakdown
Putting
Each player will start their station and have no more than 6 and half minutes to complete the putting challenge. The teams will rotate their players. The overall cumulative point totals from each team will be used to determine which team will earn the putting point for their overall weekend score.

Pairs are seeded by the lowest seed after both the player’s individual seeds are combined. Doubles pairs play the pair on the opposing team with the corresponding seed. Doubles teams play best disc, stroke play, lowest total score wins. The winner of each match will gain an additional point for their team. Stay tuned for the release of the pairings on Saturday morning!
