Tournament Director Reports
The TD report serves as key input to the PDGA's information system. PDGA Tournament Manager now allows you to submit all event data online to meet reporting requirements without having to submit the Event Report spreadsheet. If you would like to continue using the spreadsheet, you may do so and simply upload it instead of emailing it as an attachment. The PDGA is NOT able accept reports in other formats nor can the report be submitted in printed form.
