Rules

BIG EAST TOUR POINTS REQUIREMENTS:
Revision: 2025.03.23

• Base Points:
  • 1st place: 100 points
  • 2nd place: 95 points
  • 3rd place: 90 points
  • Points decrease by 5 for each subsequent position.
• Division Participation Multiplier:
  • If a division has more than 8 participants, each participant’s points will be multiplied by 1.25 (125%) to reflect the increased competition level.
• Elite Tournament Multiplier:
  • If the tournament reaches 40 or more registrants by the close of registration (as shown on the Disc Golf Scene), it will receive an “Elite” status.
  • For Elite tournaments, each participant’s final points score will be increased by an additional 1.25 (125%).
• Under-Par Bonus:
  • A 10-point bonus will be awarded to participants who finish the course under par. (Note: an even score does not qualify for this bonus.)
• Scoring will be in the following order: Base Points, Division Multiplier, Elite Multiplier, and Under-Par Bonus.

Example: Here’s how the scoring would break down for someone who wins the MA1 division with 9 participants in a tournament with 45 registrants:

1. Base Points for winning: 100 points
2. Division Participation Multiplier:
   • Since there are more than 8 participants in the MA1 division, the score is multiplied by 1.25.
   • Calculation: 100×1.25=125
3. Elite Tournament Multiplier:
   • Because the tournament has over 40 registrants, it qualifies as an Elite tournament, and the score receives an additional 1.25 multiplier.
   • Calculation: 125×1.25=156.25
   • Final Score:
     1. 156.25 points

If this player also finished the course under par, they would receive a 10-point bonus:

• 156.25 + 10 = 166.25 points

166.25 points is the highest possible score a participant could achieve in one tournament.
