Divisions are optional. For all scoring events, a general (GEN) division is created automatically by default. You can add your own divisions and delete the GEN division once you've set them up.
When creating a UDisc event or league event, you can choose from standard PDGA divisions or create your own custom divisions.
PDGA divisions
PDGA divisions are typically based on gender, age, and skill level. Your event doesn't need to be PDGA sanctioned to use them — they're a recognizable way to organize players that most disc golfers are already familiar with. See the full list of PDGA divisions for details on each.
How do I add divisions to my event?
Head into your Event tools
Tap the Divisions & pools tab
Select Add PDGA division to choose from the standard list, or Add custom division to create your own
For custom divisions, fill out the division code (3–6 characters) and division name, then tap Save
How do I add divisions to my league event?
Head into your League tools
Tap the Events tab
Select your event and tap the Edit icon
Scroll down to Division in the Player sign-up section
Select Add PDGA division or Add custom division
Tap Update event to save
Note: Custom divisions are set league-wide under League tools → Divisions, but they only apply automatically to events created after that point — they won't retroactively appear on events you'd already created. Missing a division on an existing event? Add it directly to that event using the steps above.
Important: It's not possible to merge standings from different divisions. Each division's standings remain separate — keep this in mind when setting up divisions for events with season-long standings.
How do I change a player's division?
If a player checks in to the wrong division — or you just need to move them — you can update this anytime, including during a live event.
Head to Participants
Tap the 3 stacked dots next to their name
Tap Edit participant
Use the Division dropdown to select the correct division
Tap Save
Note: There's no way to move an entire division at once — each player needs to be moved individually. Moving a player between divisions is different from changing the event's division setup: once an event has started, you can't add, remove, or edit the divisions themselves, but you can still move players between the divisions that already exist. If you need to delete a division entirely, all players must be removed from it first.
To delete a division, go to the Divisions & pools tab and tap the trash icon next to the division.
