GUIDELINES SEASON
2023-2024
Joining a Club, Transfers, Free Agents and New Signings
• 1. Any new player joining the AFGL for the first time, CAN join a club at any point during the season.
• 2. Any player that has been part of the AFGL and has been a free agent , and NEVER been a member of an AFGL Club is allowed to join a club at any point during the season.
• 3. International players that may be moving to the US for longer stays (ex. Student/work visa ) may join a club if and only if they are not part of any other league or club of their origin. They must be an AFGL Member with a current active status.
• 4. Player transfer window is between the day after Nationals of the current season and 1 week before the first event of the new season. Presidents of the clubs are the only ones able to confirm the release and acceptance of a club member. The Presidents must contact the AFGL and inform them of the change so it can be updated on the player records.
• 5. Players that are signed to a club are NOT allowed to transfer during the season, meaning after the first event of the new season.
• 6. Players can become free agents at any point during the season but will NOT be able to join a new club. Becoming a free agent basically allows clubs to be aware that you are available for signing during the transfer window.
• 7. If a club decides to dissolve itself and no longer exist as a club in the AFGL, the member players of that club will automatically become Free Agents. They will need to wait and can only join a club during the transfer window.
• 8. If a previous club member has not held an AFGL/World Tour License for one year or longer they may join a new club any time after renewing their license and upon the approval of the new club's president.
2024 Club Ranking System
The US FootGolf 2023/24 calendar season has shifted to allow for more location options across the country to host future National Championships and other major events.
The 2024 Club Rankings will include all AFGL tournaments starting in 2024 leading up to the US Club Nationals. We want to use this season as a test of a new format to rank Clubs heading into US Nationals.
This new ranking format will have each Club take up to 9 placements from each event to calculate their Club points for that event. Placements must be used from all 4 categories.
If a Club doesn't have the minimum number of spots filled in each category, they will receive 0 points for the spot(s) not filled.
-
The top 5 placements in the Men's Category.
-
The top 2 placements in the Men Senior's Category.
-
The top placement in the Women's category.
-
The top placement in the Men Senior Plus Category.
Add up your club's player placement points and multiply by the AFGL tournament points for your Club points for each event (100, 250, 500, 1000, etc.)
Club points will be added up before the start of US Club Nationals to determine Club rankings which will be used for seeding in the competition.
