About The Event:
Latitude 64 Presents - SIDG Seasonals 2026 | Winter Challenge - River is a community-run event at Bottle Lake on Sunday 16 August 2026. This Winter Challenge is built around the Latitude 64 River thanks to NZDSS, with two scored rounds on a custom layout! This time, A non River will be allowed within marked areas like Circle/Past marked Flags. Latitude 64 Discs only! There is also a lunch and skills window with on site food and drink, multiple player pack options, prizes, sponsors, vendors, and the usual SIDG community-first event feel.
We have made a few changes and included a few reminders all around the feedback you the community have given us across our first two events - so yes, registration looks a little different, but that's intentional. As we continue learning, we continue adapting to find the best balance and rhythm. Also a reminder - strictly ZERO Alcohol during our events - up to and including prize giving. This is for many reasons - and must be respected.
Divisions & Scoring (6 Divisions):
Based on varied and strong player feedback through our events, SIDG has introduced a stricter division-placement system to help protect and encourage fair divisions. To be eligible for scored divisional placing prizes, players must provide at least one accepted form of playing-history evidence during registration. This does not stop anyone from playing, winning spot prizes, or taking part in other event activities. If you are playing casually, do not wish to supply playing-history evidence, or are not concerned about divisional prizing, you can still take part in the event, but you may be marked Recreational / Unverified for scored placing prize purposes. This limitation applies only to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place scored divisional prizes.
Accepted playing-history evidence for divisions can be any of the following:
- Bottle Lake playing history: average score, best score, and approximate number of rounds
- UDisc rating: Everyday or Competition, or recent UDisc history such as last 5 rounds
- Recent scores from your local courses, especially for non-UDisc or non-Bottle Lake regulars
- Previous event, league, or tournament results, such as SIDG, CDGC, NZDG, or PDGA results
- Other playing-history context, by TD/Event Director approval only
You do NOT need UDisc Pro, and you do NOT need to have played Bottle Lake. The evidence options above are there to give players multiple fair ways to verify division placement, not to make registration harder. If the information supplied is missing, unclear, or not enough to place a player fairly, SIDG may mark that player Recreational / Unverified for scored placing prize purposes. Missing or unclear information does not automatically qualify a player for a lower division.
Bank transfer details:
If you would prefer to avoid PayPal fees (and save a few dollars), you are welcome to register via bank transfer instead. Email us to confirm your spot after payment.

Please double-check your details before submitting and ensure you’ve read the short participant waiver.
Event Updates & Information Portal:
Discord will be the main information hub for Winter Challenge and SIDG events moving forward. A player email will still be sent after registration closes, but email delivery through event platforms is not always reliable, and many Autumn Challenge emails went to junk or failed to deliver. Players without Discord will not be left in the dark, but joining the SIDG Discord is the easiest way to access updates, caddie sheets, course visuals, day-of questions, and final notices. Discord is free to join, and the SIDG server is free to use: https://discord.gg/3RsH3mxZCK
The aim with this plan and system is a smooth, low-friction day for players: turn up, check in, collect what you need, play your rounds, enjoy lunch and skills and check out the discs available from NZDSS on the day, then stick around for prizes and the raffle. We want SIDG Events to be remembered as a fun day with our community, playing a little differently than usual and experiencing the ups and downs of that together. These changes help us deliver that.
