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
Teams compete head-to-head, so when A-Town plays B-Ville, A-Town’s #1 plays B-Ville’s #1, A-Town’s #2 plays B-Ville’s #2…etc. The team that wins the most individual matches gets the victory.
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.

Entry Fee
$60 per player. Every player gets a tournament sweatshirt, a tournament disc, a second disc, mini disc, greens fee, camping fees, Saturday Night Pizza Party, Ring of Fire, Lunch is not provided but we will have a food vendor on site on Saturday. All ranch guests must read and follow the Ranch Rules.

Payout
There will be trophies for the top teams, plus awards for Best Dressed Team and Most Spirited Team. We will be giving away additional prizes, items, and planning other fun activities. We will host a get-together Saturday night as well and share more details as it evolves. If anyone is interested in working with us on the Saturday night get-together they should email Dee. We hope to make this year's event even more special than last year.
