Oregon Series

General Structure:

All Oregon Series tournaments are two-day PDGA sanctioned events of at least “B/C-tier” level. All courses will be free of unreasonably dangerous conditions. Players will have the opportunity to register before the tournament either online, or mail. All tournament specific financial information will be made available upon request. Separate individuals run each tournament, so each tournament will have a different feel while maintaining the high level of quality the series strives for.

Series Points:

The Oregon Series keeps “Series Points” for all players. These points are used to award prizes at the end of the year. Each player is awarded one point for each tournament he/she enters. Additionally, points are earned for the player's finishing place. With first place receiving 100 points, 2nd place receiving 99, and so on from there. In the event of a tie, there will be no play play off for seres points. At the end of the year, your Series Points will consist of the number of events you played plus the points you earned from your best 4 finishes in your division. The player with the largest number of Series Points in a given division wins that division (a player can only qualify in one division).

Series Final:

The Oregon Series final awards ceremony will be held at the conclusion of the final tournament of the year. Any player completing 4 of 7 tournaments will qualify for the end of year prizes in their division. The qualifying, top 50% point earners in each division will be awarded prizes and the top 3 players in each division will receive trophies. Players who complete all 7 tournaments will receive an additional award. Last year this award was a custom embroidered polo shirt. So you don't have to win your division to have a great year.
