Games in Round One
Rules for Team selection for each Country
30 minutes before each Game is due to start the Captain of each Country shall register the players chosen to play for that round. They will complete a Team Roster Form and hand it to the WFDF TDD.
Where Countries have registered more than 6 players they can substitute those players into any match in any Game as long as they meet the criteria for the Divisions in which they play.
FPO and MP40 players may play in MPO as long as the criteria for those divisions are also met. All MPO players will be seeded according to their PDGA rating (as of December 1st 2023) relative to all other MPO players from their team who are chosen to play in a specific match.
All players have the chance of playing doubles matches with all their team. For individual players this allows for substitutions (as described above) to be made by Countries that have more than the minimum 6 players in their squad. Subject to Captains selection players should get to play at least 3 of the 5 doubles options available in the whole event.
If a Country is unable to select a full team of 6 then their missing player will forfeit their doubles match. Teams that cannot field at least 2 doubles teams for a match, using the correct WFDF Format and Rules, will forfeit the match.
WFDF Disc Golf Committee believes this is a unique format that meets the standards of Inclusion and Equality expected of its organisation.
Point System
Every match in each game is important and points will be awarded so that all players are rewarded for their own individual and team efforts.
Points are awarded for every game. Results for Round 1 will be an accumulation of points against all teams in all games in the Pool to decide the Matches for Rounds 2 and 3.
All Games - will be worth 2 pts for a win; 1 pt for a draw. So every Game in Round 1 has a potential of 6 points per team.
Tie Breaks
If there is a 2-way tie on points after Round 1 has been completed then Head to Head results of points won will count first.. If still a tie then a play off will be held. For Round 1 this will be between the highest rated MPO 2 players playing in Round 1 starting on hole 1. This will be sudden death format - a clear win of a hole will win the match
If a 3-way or more tie on points after Round 1 has been completed then points in games between those three or more teams will be calculated. If there is a clear 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc in the group then those results stand. If after points in games between those 3 or more teams there are 2 teams tied then the Head to Head result will count first. If still a tie then a play off will be held. For Round 1 this will be between the highest rated MPO 2 players playing in Round 1 starting on hole 1. This will be sudden death format - a clear win of a hole will win the match.
Games in Rounds 2 and 3
All Games in Rounds 2 and 3 shall be golf starts. The order of play will be decided by the WFDF TDD.
