Rules and fees

Innova Baltic Tour (IBT) events are registered in PDGA – a governing body of professional Disc Golf. IBT events are mainly sanctioned as PDGA A-Tier or B-Tier events.

The PDGA rules will be in effect for disc golf events with some possible alterations. The rules of disc golf as defined by the PDGA will also be the rules governing play at IBT events. Any exceptions or changes will be made known to the players, media, and spectators in advance of the event affected by any changes made.
One of the exceptions of the rule is the advanced scoring responsibilities of players in an IBT event. (An advanced scoring system called discgolfmetrix.com will be used in all IBT events. Players will be provided sample instructions and training for the new system.)

Attending an IBT event requires a registration in PDGA and rating at least 775. PDGA rules on Dress Code and Non-smoking policies are in effect in all IBT events.

Each player will have a separate scorecard for each round. All scorecards of a group (usually 4 scorecards) will be in a numbered folder, that the players carry with them on an IBT tournament round. The folder will also contain brief instructions (look below the Metrix Scorecard Guide) on how to fill the statistics fields of the scorecards.
Due to space limitations, the instructions included in the folder are very brief. In this guide, we’ll give detailed instructions on recording Metrix statistics, including some rarer sample scenarios that happen in every tournament.
Not recording the Metrix statistics or not signing the scorecard is not penalizable under PDGA rules. We hope that the players see the benefits that the statistics provide for the fans and the players themselves.

Innova Baltic Tour waiver to MA3 and MA4 divisions (PDGA rule 2.02 Exceptions)

It is approved before the IBT by the PDGA Europe Tour Manager, that If the player starts IBT in MA3 or MA4 division (Vilnius Open) and the player has not competed in a higher division in other competitions at any time during the IBT (05.04-26.05.2024) and players rating does not exceed 20 points above the rating ceiling for the division they are compete in, they can play all three events in the same division. Its applies only for amateur players. The waiver will not apply for the player with PDGA professional status playing in amateur division.
See tables below for points awarded at each Innova Baltic Tour event.

Top 25 in each division receive Tour points. Ties earn the higher point place, ie 2 MPOs Tied 2nd earn 94 points each.

End of Season Points Tiebreakers

Where 2 or more players are tied in the overall points standings then the tie(s) shall be broken by totaling the Innova Baltic Tour points earned by each player at events where they competed head to head. Any remaining ties shall be broken by comparing the players' actual scores during the same head to head competitions.
