What Is Disc Golf Metrix?

Disc Golf Metrix is a disc golf scorekeeping and tournament management service used to track rounds, maintain statistics and run competitions. The same service works in both a browser and a mobile app. Metrix was born in Estonia and has grown into a service with more than 232,000 users across Europe. In Finland, it functions as the backbone of all sanctioned competition, but it is just as useful for regular players who want to see their own development in numbers.

What can you do with Disc Golf Metrix?

With Metrix, you can record round scores hole by hole, track personal statistics, find courses and run events with live scoring. Each hole is recorded just like on a paper scorecard, but the numbers are saved and the total score is calculated automatically. The core features of the service are:

• Scorekeeping for practice and tournament rounds, with the leaderboard updating in real time
• Personal statistics from every throw and comparison with friends or club members
• Course search by name, location and GPS, with almost 20,000 public courses available
• Club features and bag tag challenges for friend groups or clubs
• Tournament management with divisions, waitlists, tours and weekly leagues

There are several types of rounds. A standard competition round or practice round counts toward statistics and rating, while doubles does not affect either player’s numbers. GPS search makes it easier to find the nearest course even when you are in an unfamiliar area.

What is Metrix Rating?

Metrix Rating is a player-specific number that describes playing level and is calculated automatically from recorded rounds. The higher the number, the stronger the performance level. Rating takes into account the difficulty of the course and the performances of other players during the same round, so a single course being easy or difficult does not distort the number.

In practice, Rating makes development measurable. You can compare your number with clubmates and see whether weeks of practice rounds are raising your level. The service also gives a quick estimate for a new player who has only recorded a few rounds. Rating updates whenever a new score is entered.

Why is Disc Golf Metrix so central in Finland?

Disc Golf Metrix is the official tournament management system of the Finnish Disc Golf Association, used for registration and live scoring in all sanctioned competitions. There are more than 70,000 Finnish players in the service, making it the most widely used tool in the sport in Finland. SFL competitions are collected under their own address at sfl.dgmtrx.com.

The most important detail for competition is the licence connection. Your competition licence status and SuomiSport information are linked to your Metrix profile, so registering for a sanctioned event is only possible when you are registered and have a valid licence. The same profile carries both your practice rounds and competition history, meaning weekly leagues and PDGA-level events build up in the same place.

Is Disc Golf Metrix free and how do you get started?

The basic use of Disc Golf Metrix is free: you create an account, record your first round and get access to statistics immediately. You can create an account with email or log in with Google or Facebook. The mobile app is available for both iPhone and Android, and the same account also works in a browser.

A good way to start is this: register, add your PDGA number and club information to your profile if needed, and record your first practice round on your local course. After just a few rounds, you will see your first Metrix Rating and can start comparing your results with others. For competition, link your licence information to your profile.

Once your game starts to take shape in the statistics, the next step in development is often found in your equipment. Upgrade your throwing lineup from the disc golf disc selection at DiscKing.eu.
