  The Excel sheets below are useful tools for running an event if you do not have internet availability at your course. You can use these files leading up to and on the day of your event, but the PDGA does not accept these files as a submission of the event report. Do not email these files to the PDGA after your event. Instead, you must input the information into Tournament Manager and submit the report there. 

  • USA Event TD Report
  • Canada Event TD Report
  • International Event TD Report (all other countries)
  • League TD Report
  • Ratings-Based Event TD Report

  For TDs that do not have access to a computer or are not able to work with spreadsheets, please find another member of your tournament staff that can handle score uploading and the completing of the report. The PDGA is NOT able accept reports in other formats nor can the report be submitted in printed form.
