“Steady” Ed Tournament Series Stamp

Last year was the second successful year of the “Steady” Ed Tournament Series and over 800 competitors got to experience these great events and be part of our growing west coast series. The 2008 tour was a good building block for the “Steady” Ed Tournament Series in 2009 and we would like to thank our returning series sponsors for their support from the beginning. We promise to help turn this disc golf series into one of the best run and most enjoyable tournament series on the planet. One of our main goals with this series is to involve tournaments that go above and beyond the typical or standard disc golf tournament. These are tournaments that embody the great vision that “Steady” Ed had for the future of Disc Golf and also demonstrate a fun inviting atmosphere that “Steady” Ed would have enjoyed playing in and would have been proud to attach his name to. All of our events have all shown that they are worthy of the “Steady” Ed Stamp of approval. This year we are very excited to add a new event to the SETS series. The St. Patricks Classic in Orangevale, CA has proven to be one of the best tournaments on the west coast and has a great veteran staff that caters to players needs. We are more than pleased to add them to the SETS line up and know that this tournament will provide traveling players with another excellent stop on the “Steady” Ed Tournament Series.

This year the “Steady” Ed Tournament Series will once again be running a point based rating system for all of the events involved with our series. The point structure will be based off the PDGA point system. Since all of our tournaments are PDGA sanctioned, players playing in these events already accumulate points from the PDGA. The PDGA determines these points partly based on what tier the tournament is. This year the St. Patty’s Classic, The Masters Cup, and The End of The Trail Classic are all PDGA A-Tier events. This means that like the PDGA system players are eligible to earn more points at those three events because it’s a higher tiered event.

In an effort to level the playing field and give the people that compete in more SETS events a better chance to win the overall point’s race this year we will be awarding bonuses for people that play in three events or more. The bonus structure is as follows: a 50 point bonus if you play in three events, 100 point bonus if you play in four events, 150 point bonus if you play in five events and a 300 point bonus if you play in all 6 Steady Ed Tournament Series events.

At the end of the tournament series DGA will crown a series winner for each of the following divisions. This winner will be decided by whoever is able to accumulate the most points by playing in Steady Ed Tournament Series Events. Only points from the Six SETS events will be counted for the final point standings. Points will be taken directly from the PDGA results and the winners will be notified after the series has concluded for the year. Series point’s winners will be publicized on our website as well as congratulated in a DGA tournament series ad that will run in both of the major disc golf publications.
