Q: Why was the Jester Gauntlet Created?

A: It is said that one achieves greatness when he conquers himself. The Jester Gauntlet is a challenging–no…grueling– event created to push you to–and possibly even beyond–your limit. A true test of physical endurance, mental strength and determination of the spirit, the Jester Gauntlet is fun opportunity to show you what you’re capable of accomplishing...so you’ll walk away proud of having given your all!

Q: I don't want to risk my rating, will this event be PDGA sanctioned?

A: Yes, this is a sanctioned PDGA event. And when you finish the Jester Gauntlet, you can honestly boast “I’ll play anywhere,
anytime and in any condition!” …because you don’t play for shiny objects. You play for the passion inside you. And nothing
feeds a passion like fully letting loose–giving your blood, sweat and tears up for the thing that lights you up. The Jester
Gauntlet is for conquerors!

Q: How long is the event?

A. After giving this much thought, we, Krewe De Discus, wanted to give you an event like no other. So, we’re changing things up to
4 Main Rounds, and 3 side quests. In order to have a chance to be labeled "Jester Gauntlet Champion", you would have to complete all 7 parts of the event, in 3 days. 


Q: What inspired this? It sounds like a “death tournament.”

A. The ones we all know and love who’ve endured truly remarkable hardships inspired this. We all know someone
who’s fought cancer and other illnesses, war, addiction, and unexpected tragedy.

 

The ones who’ve conquered their mountain with pure grit to survive–who’ve endured all the pain for someone or something
they love…so they could say “I gave it my all.”

The Jester Gauntlet is a mountain for those you to climb…in the name of something you love…so you can say “I gave it my all.”
This is for the best of the best, the thrill seekers and the diehards in our sport.

A mountain climber will tell you the view at the top is worth every challenging step to the top.
A marathon runner will talk about the “best feeling” at the finish line after running non-stop for 26.2 miles.

It’s about accomplishing the thing that was so hard that few even attempt it.
Be among the elite!
Believe in yourself.
CONQUER THE FEAR.
