  1. To be a Certified Official, an individual must be a current PDGA member, pass the PDGA Certified Rules Official Exam, and register as an official with the PDGA. Upon significant changes to the Official Rules of Disc Golf, the PDGA Board of Directors may require Certified Officials to pass an updated exam to retain their Certified Official status.
  2. Tournament Directors (and Assistant TDs) are required to be current Certified Officials in order to sanction or run any PDGA event.
  3. The exam is based upon the Official Rules of Disc Golf and the PDGA Competition Manual.
  4. Being a Certified Official does not make an individual a Tournament Official who can make rulings at PDGA events (see 1.12.A).
