FAQ
What time does league start?
May through August, you can expect league to start at 6:00 pm. In April and September, as there’s less light at night, leagues will start a little earlier, between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm. League directors should be posting to our Facebook group and (if applicable) league Facebook groups on starting times during these 2 months.
Will a waiver still be required in 2024?
Yes. Kansas City Disc Golf has instituted a general waiver that covers liability of the organization during its events. If you signed a waiver in 2023, you’ll need to sign a waiver in 2024. If you need to sign your waiver, visit https://kcdiscgolf.org/waiver/.
I’ve never played a league before. How do I play?
Playing league is easy! When you arrive at your course, look for the league director. They will normally be near hole #1 or a shelter close to the beginning of the course. The league director can assist you in finding a division to sign up for based on your skills. You’ll be grouped into cards, then sent off on the course to play. While most leagues do cost a small amount of money to play, camaraderie and fun are the most important part of our summer leagues!

How will scoring be handled?
KCDG has been accepted into the beta program for the new uDisc Leagues application. All scoring will be done on uDisc. This makes the job of the volunteer league director easier in respect to creating scorecards, checking scorecards, and tabulating results. You must have a uDisc account to use uDisc Leagues, so an account will be required to play in leagues for the 2024 season. Signing up for uDisc is free – you simply need to download the uDisc app from the iOS or Android app store and create an account on your smartphone. Your LD will instruct you how to check into a league and create a scorecard each league night.
Will the results of the league be published?
Yes. One of the features of uDisc Leagues is the ability to check live scoring at a league as well as the results. League results for all KCDG leagues can be found at https://udisc.com/leagues/kcdg-summer/.
How will cash payouts be handled?

Payment for aces can be sent via Paypal (minus Goods and Services fees) or by check.
Will there be any side bets with leagues?
Speak to your league director about side bets or larger pots at league. Each LD has the discretion on whether or not to add a side pot to their league night.
