How do you get a PDGA Player Rating?

Players who enter a PDGA event in a division tracked by the PDGA will automatically get their results entered into the ratings system. A new member will receive a Preliminary Rating as soon as they play an event when the TD posts Unofficial Results. A new member will get their first Official PDGA Player Rating once their TD has submitted the tournament report to the PDGA by the deadline for the next Official Ratings update. Only ratings of current PDGA members are published but non-current member ratings continue to be calculated when they play events and supply their member number to the TD.
