In 2026 Armory Disc Golf will be bringing you the fourth season of the premier disc golf tour in Texas - Throwing Down the Gauntlet, sponsored by MVP Disc Sports. This year-long season will have tournaments from flex starts to 2 day B Tiers across the state in which you will earn points (and fat stacks of payout) based on your performance. At the end of the season, the top point earners (alongside Gold/Platinum Tier winners) will earn a place in the Invitational Championship, where you'll compete for over $10,000 added in cash + prizes added cash and prizes!
TDTG History, Present, and Future
Last year we had nearly 2000 players join us in these events for over four thousand rounds total, culminating in a championship where we handed out over $10,000 in added cash and prizes. We look forward to making 2026 even better and to continue presenting the absolute best tournament experience possible. As part of our commitment to do so, we have re-upped our agreement with MVP Disc Sports as the title sponsor for TDTG 2026! We're excited to offer the best discs in the game as part of the best tournament series in the game.
This year we are also collaborating with MVP to make a contribution to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! MVP is providing a huge yearlong raffle prize that you can register for at each individual event, with proceeds going directly towards St. Jude. In addition, we will be contributing a portion of tournament proceeds towards this same end and will present the check to them towards the end of the year. Last year we were able to raise over $3,000 and we're proud to be a part of a community that gives beyond the game.
2026 is going to be the best TDTG season yet and we're excited to play some disc golf with you 😎

ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Unsanctioned Doubles played at Silver Tier events are "for fun" and will not accrue points towards the EOS Invitational, but they will still be eligible for individual event payout
- If players change divisions mid-season, their points will not transfer over to the new division UNLESS they rate out of their previous division OR it is approved by Armory Disc Golf for extenuating circumstances. This means if you want to qualify for the invitational as an MA2 player, you need to play MA2 during the season (for example).
- After MAY, points transferred between divisions WILL NOT COUNT towards consideration for regular season champions. I.e., if you want to compete for a regular season championship and think you might rate to the next division, you should start playing "up" early to get as many points as possible there.
- If you rate out of your division, 50% of your points will move with you. E.g., if you have 200 points in MA4 and hit 851 rating, you will be moved to MA3 with 100 points
- Gold Tier event division winners will only receive an automatic bid to the Invitational if there are at least 3 players in their division (points will still be earned for those divisions even if an automatic bid is not offered).
- You must play in a minimum of 3 Silver Tier events or 1 Gold or Platinum Tier event to receive an invite
***Details including park locations, added cash, and invitational tiers are subject to change throughout the season. We will keep you informed as these changes occur***
