COURSE:
Location: The course is located on the Óbudai Hajógyári Island in Budapest. Generally you will drive to the course. Please note that parking is only allowed in designated areas, and it is forbidden everywhere else. Around the Tournament Center (Basket #18) there is a designated parking that can hold roughly 15-20 cars, but island visitors are also using it. You can also take public transportation: the best option is to take the green regional tram H5 from "Batthyány-tér" metro stop (line M2), getting off at "Filatorigát" and then walk to the island (15min walk from the train stop).
Description: Please note that the Budapest Disc Golf Open course is a temporary one, the tournament is being played in a public park. There are park visitors, and while we are doing our best to keep them away from the fariways (information tables, fb posts, etc), we can not secure an uninterrupted playing experience for you. Plese be patient with park visitors, explain them that we have a permission from the city to run the event. Please note that you are entereing this tournament under your own responsibility, you are lieble for your actions, the tournament organizers are not liable for the actions of players.
Facilities: We will have tournament tents at the course to keep us safe from the sun and the rain (if any), and some benches where we can chill between, before and after rounds. Two refreshment and medical stations will help us stay hydrated and safe.
Map: The course map will be similar to last year's map last year with some minor changes.

DIVISIONS:
The tournament will be played in the following divisions:
-
- MPO - open to players of both genders
- FPO - open to female players
- GREEN - open to players of both genders with PDGA rating not higher than 850
- PURPLE - open to players of both genders with PDGA rating not higher than 800
- MJ18 - open to players of both genders with age younger than 18 on their birthday in 2024.
Any player can enter the competition in a higher category, so all players can enter MPO, but players can only play in a lower category if their rating allows it, so someone with a rating of 801 cannot play PURPLE, and someone with a rating of 851 cannot play GREEN. Players who are not PDGA members and do not have a rating can play the PURPLE category only if they have not played PDGA tournaments so far, or they have played PDGA tournaments and the last 6 rounds are not worth more than 800 rating points on average.
In case the number of players in a given division does not reach at least 4, then the players registering to that division will automatically be moved to the closest matching one.
