As of 2012, all ADGTour A-Tier events will require players registered in the Open and Advanced divisions to hold current PDGA memberships in order to enter and compete in the event. This decision has been made to ensure that, for players competing at these levels, there is a suitable mechanism by which to ensure placement of players into appropriate divisions for the fairness of the other players. This is an area on which ADG has received significant feedback from players requesting a definitive means of ensuring who should be in which division.
