The following page will explicitly lay out the rules for the RWFDG league as they pertain to scoring, drafting, and general play. Any and all official league decisions and rule changes require at minimum 4 out of 6 support.
Before getting into the details, some definitions to be used throughout these rules:
Snake Draft
Each week/tournament starts with a snake draft where each Owner selects 5 Players for their active roster and 1 additional Player for their bench. By default, you will start the first 5 Players you select on your active roster, but you have the option to swap in your bench player before any of your players start their first rounds. Make this swap by messaging the group and stating your move clearly stating their names without using nicknames or abbreviations.
Owners will redraft before each tournament (i.e. you don’t keep Players on your roster after tournaments end). The draft order will be randomly determined each week. Examples of random draft orders include, but are not limited to, random disc CTPs where one person assigns discs to the thrower (thrower doesn’t know who they are assigned to), in-person events during RWFDG League meet ups, and random number/order generators with supporting video evidence. This supporting video evidence must constitute a screen recording that contains both (i) an initial text to the league saying that your starting the randomization, as well as the (ii) sending of the screenshot of the results of the randomization. This must occur in one continuous video. Each draft’s start time will be chosen at the league’s discretion. Since we are all adults with lives, 3 days is recommended based on historical draft durations.
Drops (during the draft), Pauses, and Replacements
During the draft, if a Player that has already been picked withdraws from the tournament mid-draft, then the snake draft pauses. Official Player withdrawls are determined by PDGA tournament registration or social media posts. The affected Owner may pick a replacement before the snake draft restarts. The draft then resumes as it was before.
The following paragraph will describe how drops and replacements happen in the event that more than one Owner experiences a drop within same period of time. When the league is notified of the first drop (or potentially several drops), the snake draft enters a pause period where only owners affected by drops can select players. Additional owners can continue to enter the pause period if more drops occur, leading to a situation in which more than one Owner needs to make a replacement pick. If multiple owners are in the pause period at the same time due to drops, they may replace their players on a first come first serve basis, regardless of which dropped player was picked first and regardless of the order in which the drops occurred. Essentially, it is in your best interest to beat your opponent to the replacement pick (Proposition COMPROMISE).
Executing Your Pick
During the draft for all picks except the final pick, if an Owner submits a pick via a sent text or FB messenger message, the pick is not final until the next Owner in the draft selects his Player. This means that the first Owner may change his pick for any reason so long as the next Owner has not submitted an official pick (Proposition TRICKY RICKY).
After the final bench selection of the snake draft, the rules are as follows: once the snake draft is over, Owners may drop and pick up any Players they wish on a first come, first serve basis. You may do this as long as none of the players in question have started their first round. Make your pick and drop by messaging the group and clearly stating their names without using nicknames or abbreviations.
Bench Slots and Drops (during play) (APPROVED: 2026-04-17)
The 5 players you start with are the only players you get to use to score points for the entirety of the tournament.
The snake draft finishes with 6 players on each team. The first 5 players selected are on the active roster (i.e. your starters) for the tournament, while the 6th and final player is on the bench. The bench player can be swapped in for any active roster player, provided that neither of those players have started round 1. To execute a bench swap, message the group and clearly state the names of the players involved without using nicknames or abbreviations, with screenshots showing neither player has started round 1.
Definition: a player is said to have started round 1 if he completes at least 1 full hole in round 1 with real throws. Note that if a starter takes +4 (quad bogey) on every hole, this will be seen as a non-start due to PDGA scorekeeping policies for no-shows. Note that a player can still show up late, take a few +4s on the first few holes, and start on a hole that isn’t hole 1; this will be seen as a start, and the Owner will be on the hook for the initial +4s in FP scoring.
The 5 players you start with are the only players you get to use to score points for the entirety of the tournament, regardless of any injuries or drops that happen with your starters during the tournament. Your bench player gets automatically subbed in only if one of your starters withdraws from the tournament before starting round 1. At that point, the affected Owner may select another player to fill the now vacant bench slot (in the event of a second withdrawl/drop).
If a player withdraws mid-round, the results of that partial round by that player will count towards the Owner’s fantasy score, no matter the reason for withdrawing. Obvious quad bogey/+4 results caused by a mid-round drop will be discarded and not scored (e.g. +4s for every hole after a mid-round drop will not be eligible for FP scoring). Partial rounds are NOT eligible for BFR points.
Finally, Owners have the option to bench starters after a cut has been made in the tournament. However, an Owner has to still start a minimum number of Players. This minimum will be set as the number of Players that make the cut for the Owner with the fewest number of Players remaining after the cut. This may be advantageous if the course or weather conditions are difficult.
Example:
Trades
There is no trading draft picks or players at any time. We redraft each week for a reason.
An Owner’s fantasy score for each week is the sum of his active roster’s Fantasy Points. Players earn fantasy points according to the following two scoring types:
1. Hole-by-hole (HBH) Scoring:
| Description | Abbrev | HBH |
|---|---|---|
| Albatross | ALB | 18 |
| Ace | ACE | 10 |
| Eagle | EAG | 8 |
| Bogey Free Round (a.k.a. Beefer) | BFR | 5 |
| 4 birdies in a row | BAG4 | 4 |
| Birdie | BIRD | 3 |
| Bogey | BOG | -1 |
| Double bogey or worse | DBB | -2 |
2. Tournament Finishing Place (TP) Scoring:
| Place | TP |
|---|---|
| 1 | 25 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 18 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 14 |
| 6 | 12 |
| 7 | 10 |
| 8 | 9 |
| 9 | 8 |
| 10 | 7 |
| 11-15 | 6 |
| 16-20 | 5 |
| 21-25 | 4 |
| 26-30 | 3 |
| 31-40 | 2 |
| 41-50 | 1 |
Additional scoring notes:
Regular Season
Each week of the regular season (i.e. the first 15 tourneys), Owners earn Regular Season Points (RP) based on their finishing place among the other Owners. Owner’s are ranked by their weekly fantasy score, and given RPs according to the following system:
| Place | RP |
|---|---|
| 1 | 7 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 1 |
| DFL | 0 |
Regular Season Points are accumulated after each tournament ends. After the 15 regular season tournaments, the 4 Owners with the most Regular Season Points make the Playoffs. If tied in RPs at the end of the season, the first tiebreaker is total regular season fantasy points (HBH + TP). The second tiebreaker is number of individual wins during the regular season, then the number of second place finishes, then third place finishes, etc.
There are no tiebreakers in each regular season tournament. For example, if two Owners tie for second, both will receive +5 points.
Playoffs
The final regular season standings (total RPs) determine seeding for the playoffs matchups: 1 versus 4 and 2 versus 3. The semifinal matchup winners will be determined by total combined Fantasy Points across the 2 semifinal tournaments (Professional Disc Golf World Championships, DGPT Playoffs - Green Mountain Championship). In the semifinals only, the 1 seed will start with a +10 Fantasy Point advantage over the 4 seed, and the 2 seed will start with a +5 Fantasy Point advantage over the 3 seed.
The winners of the semifinal matchups will meet in the RWFDG Championship. The Champion will be determined by total combined Fantasy Points across the 2 tournaments designated for the Finals (DGPT Playoffs - MVP Open x OTB, United States Disc Golf Championship). This matchup will start tied: 0-0.
The tie breaker is lowest seed for all head to head playoff matches that end in ties.
The top 4 Owners who made the playoffs are required to participate throughout all 4 tournaments designated for the playoffs to keep the existing matchups valid and competitive.
Scheduling and Unforeseen Events
If regular season tournaments are canceled for any reason, we will simply ignore that week and have a regular season comprised of fewer than 15 tournaments. If any of the tournaments designated for the playoffs are canceled, we will have a league vote to determine how to handle the situation. All other changes to the schedule will be made at the league’s discretion.
