If you are interested in playing for team J Town, please post your PDGA # and rating on this post. The highest rated players for each pool will be selected. However, there will be captain picks for each pool. Please read all of the info below. You must be a current 2026 J-Town club member. We will have memberships to sell that day, but please try to become a member before the day of the event. Also, please check your schedules to make sure you can play. Every year several players state that they are coming, and then back out a week or two before. A full team is needed to be successful at this challenge.

J-Town Disc Golf Club is looking for club members to commit to this event.  Format will be 2 rounds of singles.  Members will be divided into 4 division (A:945+, B:920-944, C:885-919, and D:<885).  Best 5 finishing positions for each division per round will count towards the club total.  Lowest club total wins.

Field limited to 9 members for each division from each club.  J-Town will decide our roster based on the following: 7 spots will go to the highest rated sign-ups, the other 2 spots in each division will be Captain's choice.

Please reply to this post (PDGA #, Name, and Rating) if you want to represent the J-Town Disc Golf Club.  I will periodically update this post with our roster.  You will need to be a club member to play (we will have memberships available at the event).
