Our hope is these rankings inform fantasy disc golf participants as well as entertain fans of the pro tour. 

First published: 12:20 am on Thur. Sept. 4th (full list of 25)
Last updated: TBD
Last checked: Same as last updated.
Event results added: on Mon. Sept. 8th at 10:15 am. We recently changed over our Event Rankings list from top 45 in MPO in exact order to top 25 MPO, and proceeded to get 6 of the 25 as correct guesses (yellow squares, within 2 spots of actual place finished). That equals 24% and would mean all time high for us, though with change to lower amount in mix, it may be time to update our target goals. We’ve learned over past 2 years, getting 6 correct predictions is harder than it sounds. 48% of our picks were semi close (green) or better, which is just barely hitting our target on that goal. 40% or our guesses were ‘somewhat off’ (orange). All in all, one of our best weeks of Event Rankings, with caveat that our approach or amount of predictions just changed as of this most recent tournament.

Simplicity

The event predictions are truly meant to be viewed as simple list, depicting projected order they’ll finish from 1 through 45 25, along with their AF latest ranking (updated earlier this week), then player name, rating, and actual place they end up at the 2025 DGLO tournament.

As of early Sept. 2025, our list went from 45 to 25 being ranked for the event and will likely remain there for rest of 2025.

Our 2024 season goals aimed for 20% accuracy with correct predictions, and 45% accuracy for guesses that are within a tier of being correct. For early 2025, we are sticking to this. We did hit 20% accuracy in 2025 for the NW DGC event.

Meets Nuances

Color in the list explains other relevant information that added columns might make rather boring. This includes tier the player current resides, historical performance at the event, and player value relative to their rating and ranking for the event. After the event, in the actual place column, we use color to depict how close or well off our predictions were. For more details on color, please see our Event Rankings Guide.

As for the Rest

Our approach is to track and rank all fantasy relevant players. Of the 75 or so MPO in the field that are playing, but not part of our list, there are 3 types of player in that mix. Some are ones we rank who are outside top 25, and saved as a sort of waiting list in case others on the list drop from the event. The 2nd type are players who we are tracking, but are not quite fantasy relevant. They could be by the next event, and we will continue to monitor them. The 3rd type are lower rated players who may surprise many and do well at the event, though typically over 4 rounds of Elite level play, they tend to settle near the bottom of the standings. Our hope is to rank them someday. With that said:
