ABOUT
This tournament will be run by local club, “Buffalo Discflect.” For any questions, please contact them via email: Contact Buffalo Discflect
A new era is almost here. This will mark the first tournament under the new sport name of discflect. There will be up to 3 different skill divisions, with each one having their own tournament. This means there will be up to 3 different tournament winners, one from each division. By separating the field of teams into their own skill-based divisions, this will allow for a fair competition for players of all skill levels.
In addition to divisions, there will be new scorecards and stats that will be tested at this tournament. More information regarding the scorecards and updated game rules will be posted in the coming weeks.
Buffalo Discflect will set up the goals and provide some house discs (Recreational Kan Jam® 168g) for tournament play. However, under the new sport, teams are allowed to bring up to five of their own discs to use in the tournament. See WHAT TO BRING section.
DIVISIONS
Amateur 1 (AM 1)
This division is for newbie and limited teams. Perfect for beginners and those new to the sport. Average 0 to 2.7 points per round.
AMATEUR 2 (AM 2)
This division is for intermediate and proficient teams. These teams are much further along in their game, but not yet consistent enough to compete in the PRO division. Average 2.8 to 4.2 points per round.
PRO
This division consists of premier and elite teams. These teams are consistent and competitive. Average 4.3 to 6.0 points per round.
Not sure what division to join?
Amateur divisions will compete for prizes (courtesy of Kan Jam®) and medals, while the Pro division will compete for payouts and medals.
