New Age-Based Competition Divisions Starting in 2018 (PDGA)

Post by Jaime Perron »

Does anyone think that NEFA will or should follow the new age divisions that the PDGA will implement next season?

Honestly, I don't see a need change anything for local (NEFA or PDGA) events. IMO, the place for these new divisions are at events exclusively for age-protected divisions (like a Senior Games or the Tim Selinske) or at large scale tournaments that have the capacity and the draw to populate them (Worlds, Bowling Green Ams, GBO, etc).

Stick with Masters 40+ and Masters 50+ (formerly Grandmasters), maybe consider adding Masters 60+ (formerly Senior Grandmasters). Beyond that, this shouldn't have much impact on NEFA tournaments.

I think what we have now is real close. Just adding a 60+ would be the only change that makes any sense.
