Seems it would make sense to name it "Pending Member"

Jebb,
The new supporting members are treated the same as non-current PDGA members, who also have PDGA numbers. The "Supporting Member" name was necessitated because that level of membership is already defined in our current by-laws and creating a new membership level would require a change to the by-laws, which is a long and drawn out process. The easiest and most efficient way to determine if anyone is current or not is to pre-load your tournament player list into the PDGA's online scoring program and it will give you their status. Of course, we will still be providing TD's with a current members list from their region just as we always have.
The benefits of assigning numbers to all participants in PDGA events are numerous.
