The Concept
Every course in Texas is invited to send a team. Teams may also represent schools, ultimate teams, or other organizations. Some courses send more than one team.
The Format
Rounds are 9 holes, and it's all match play, so it's not your total score that counts - it's how many holes you win.
Most teams will play 4 rounds on Saturday and 2-3 rounds on Sunday.
Team Makeup
There are three divisions - Emerging, Merged, and Established. Smaller towns and newer courses compete in the Emerging division. Teams consist of 6 players: 3 Advanced and 3 Intermediate. Merged division is for courses which are sending an Established team and wish to send an additional 6-player Am-only team. Team makeup for Emerging and Merged are the same -- but Emerging is for true "emerging disc golf communities", rather than Merged's 6-player squads from an "established disc golf community".
Bigger cities and older courses compete in the Established division. Established teams have 9 players: 2 Pro, 2 Advanced, 2 Intermediate, 1 Master, 1 Amateur Woman, and one "swing" player (Pro Woman, Grand Master, or Advanced Master).
Texas Teams has been a Texas Disc Golf tradition since 2000. Teams represent clubs or individual courses and are comprised of players of varying skill levels. Players compete for their team in head-to-head match play in nine-hole rounds. Points, rather than strokes, are totalled from all of the team's rounds to determine the winning team.
The two-day tournament at Circle R is much more than competitive disc golf. It's a camping experience, a reunion, and a chance to see whose community has the most skill-building and challenging course.
