Go to udisc.com/events/add to create a tournament or one-time event. Fill out your event details, configure scoring settings, and submit for approval. Most events are approved instantly — but create yours at least 48 hours in advance to allow for setup time.
Note: Creating an event for your league? See Creating a UDisc League event instead — league events don't go through this approval process at all.
Step 1: Go to event creation
Visit udisc.com/events/add and sign in to your UDisc account. Select Create a new event, or Duplicate an existing event to choose from the events you can manage and copy one of them. See How do I duplicate a UDisc event?
Step 2: Fill out event details
The questions you're asked depend on the event type you choose, and the steps below are for the Tournament type. Event setup asks one question per page. Select Next to continue and Back to return to the previous page. Pages that aren't required also have a Skip option. You'll be asked:
What type of event is it? Choose League / Weekly, Tournament, Course cleanup, Clinic, Try disc golf, or Other event (not disc golf).
Is this a PDGA event? Select Yes to enter the PDGA event ID or URL (it looks like 12345 or https://pdga.com/tour/event/12345), or select No.
What are the event details? Enter the event name and description, and choose whether the event is public or private. All three are required. The description box lets you add bold, italics, strikethrough, a heading, a link, and bulleted or numbered lists. Private events aren't listed on course directory pages or the Events tab on UDisc. Players can only find them by searching for the event's exact name or by receiving a direct link.
When is the event? Choose a start date and the number of days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or Custom.
Where is the event? Search for a course or store. Multiple locations can be specified.
Which divisions are playing? Select Add custom division and enter a division code (3 to 6 characters recommended) and a name, or select Add PDGA division and pick from the list of PDGA divisions. You can use Select all or Clear in that list.
Do any of these tags apply? Choose any of Ace pool, Glow, For charity, Women/girl friendly, Beginner-friendly, and Junior friendly.
What is the play format? Choose Singles or Teams. For Teams, you'll also choose how participants sign up and the team size. In teams means participants coordinate who else will be on their team. Individually means every participant registers themselves, which works best when team partners will be randomly selected. Team size can be Doubles, Triples, or Custom.
What is the tee off format? Choose Shotgun, Tee times, or Flex start.
Will you be scoring with UDisc? Select Yes to manage cards, arrange tee times, access live leaderboards, and more.
Do you want to track registration with UDisc? Select Yes or No. UDisc does not process payments at this time.
Should players be allowed to create their own cards? Yes is recommended. It allows flexible check-in and card creation for players, and you can always modify cards before or during the round. If your event starts in fewer than 72 hours, selecting No means you'll need to create every card manually before the round begins.
Is pre-registration required? Choose Yes if you want to create cards before the event or need a head count before the event starts.
When can participants register? Set the registration open and close dates and times, in your local timezone.
Not sure which event type to choose? See UDisc event types — what's the difference? for a full breakdown.
You can add TD contact details and event admins under the General tab in your Event tools after creation.
Note: Only one email and one phone number can be listed as contact details. If you have multiple contact methods, add them to the Event Description field instead.
Note: Want to share logistics like bathroom and water availability or parking? Go to your Event tools → General tab and scroll down to Optional extras.
Note: If your event is at a course not yet listed in UDisc, you'll need to add it before creating a scoring event. Go to You tab → Menu (≡) → Add New Course in the app, or visit udisc.com/courses/add. If your event is non-scoring, select Search by address instead during event setup to use any location.
Note: Setting up your event at an invite-only course? Invite-only courses won't auto-populate in the course search. Type the course's exact name and it will appear so you can select it.
Important: Event type can't be changed after your event is created. Choose carefully — if you need a different type, you'll need to create a new event.
Step 3: Submit for approval
Tap Looks good! to submit your event. Most events are approved instantly, though some take up to 48 hours — another reason to create yours well in advance.
💡 While your event is still pending approval, some Event tools options — including Settings → Delete event — may not be available yet. If you need to cancel or delete an event that's still awaiting approval, wait for the approval email first, or ask to talk to a person in the chat if you need it removed sooner. This only applies to standalone tournaments and one-time events created at udisc.com/events/add — league events never require approval, so this doesn't apply to them. See How do I cancel or delete my event? for league event steps.
What if my event is rejected?
If your event isn't approved, you'll get an email explaining why. Follow the link in that email to open your Event tools, then go to the General tab to update details like the event name and description. Once you've made your changes and saved them, you can resubmit the event for another review.
Step 4: Link to a PDGA sanctioned event
If your event is PDGA sanctioned, you can link it to display the official PDGA event page and tier classification.
During event creation, select Yes when asked "Is this a PDGA event?" then enter the PDGA event ID (e.g. 12345) or the full PDGA event URL. The tier classification will display automatically on your event listing.
After event creation, go to Event tools → Scoring tab to add or update your PDGA event link at any time.
Note: The tier classification stays synced with the linked PDGA event. If the PDGA tier changes, your UDisc event should update to match within a day. If it doesn't, try unlinking the PDGA event and relinking it. Still not updating? Ask to talk to a person in the chat.
Step 5: Set up scoring
Once your event is approved, head into Event tools to finish setup. From there you can turn on UDisc scoring, configure rounds, add players, and generate scorecards.
See Turn on scoring | Set up rounds | Add players | Create cards
Events vs. leagues
Use udisc.com/events/add for tournaments, one-time competitions, and annual events. Use a league for weekly recurring play and season-long standings.
