Individual, Pairs and League competitions. Players will receive points based on the level of the tournament and the number of players.

Unlicensed Players  players may play as guest in some tournament for an additional $5 fee, but will not receive any points. 

​

Categories may be mixed depending on the number of players and the announced format of play. 

TOURNAMENT

Points

Players must pay for their USFGT license before the start date of the tournament to obtain points in the competition.

 

There is no minimum player count required in order to receive points as the tournament points are based largely on the number of players. 

​

Points will be valid through the 2022 season.

 

USFGT Ranking Points from where non-license players compete will not include any spots played by unlicensed players. Those players will be removed and licensed players moved up before points are awarded. 

TOURNAMENT

Levels

​

For the inaugural year of the USFGT tournaments will be limited to the following four levels

​

  • B-Level (B)  Generally regional or state level events. Members competing in B-Level events earn 3 points for every competitor they beat in their division. These events typically draw amateur competitors with a wider variety of skills levels.

  • Current USFGT membership NOT required to compete. Non-current members and non member pay an additional $10.00 per event temporary membership fee when registering.

  • Current status of Certified Rules Official required to compete.

  • Length: 1 or 2 days.

  • Holes: 18 to 36.

​

  • C-Level (C)  Generally local or area level events that can easily be run in one day, on one course, with a minimal amount of staff and volunteers, but they certainly do not have to be small and/or simple. Members competing in B-Level events earn 2 points for every competitor they beat in their division. These events typically draw amateur competitors with a wider variety of skills levels.

  • Current USFGT membership NOT required to compete. Non-current members and non member pay an additional $10.00 per event temporary membership fee when registering.

  • Length: 1 day.

  • Holes: 18

​

  • League (L)  USFGT sanctioned Leagues are local events that generally run once a week on the same say of the week for a duration of 4-10 weeks. The most appealing benefit of a USFGT League, arguably, is thatUSFGT members that compete receive points, just as they would at a typical USFGT event.

  • Current USFGT membership NOT required to compete - $10.00 Non-member fee is waived.

  • Leagues run once a week on the same day of the week for a duration of 4-1o weeks.

Members competing in Pais events earn 2 points for every Pair-Competitor they beat in their division. These events typically draw amateur competitors with a wider variety of skills levels.

  • Current USFGT membership NOT required to compete. Non-current members and non member pay an additional $10.00 per event temporary membership fee when registering.

PURSES

Prizes and Awards

CODE OF CONDUCT

To Play in the United States

The Player Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines for professional and amateur footgolfers to follow throughout the AFGL Tour and USFGT tournament season and into the future. To see the Player Code of Conduct visit the following link Here

RIGHT

Of Admission

The USFGT reserves the right of admission and may refuse any player's participation at any time for any reason.

TIE BREAKER

To define the Champion

In the case of a tie for 1st place, there must be a playoff between all tied players to determine the tournament champion (this applies to each category). The election of the hole(s) to be played is subject to the organizer’s (course) criteria.

 

The playoff will be decided after 1 hole. If the tie continues after the playoff, there will be a “blind approach” and the player that places the ball closest to the hole is the winner.

 

This system will apply only to define the Champion of each tournament.

 

For 3rd place and following positions, tied players will get the same points, based on the 92% rule. If, for any reason (climate conditions, lack of sunlight, safety, etc.) the organizer and marshals understand the playoff system can not take place, the 1st position will be decided by the last 18 holes for a 36 - 54 hole or more tournaments, or by the back 9 for 18-hole tournaments. If still tied, then the last 6 holes and then last 3 holes; if still tied, there is a draw.

CANCELLATION

And Refund Policy

Each tournament will have it's own registration and cancellation fees/policies. Please review the information for each tournament accordingly to know what the policy is for that tournament.
