Medals & NSGA Qualifying

Athletes competing in the Alabama Senior Olympics in hopes to qualify for the National Senior Olympic Games.

ASO MEDALS

Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place for each style within each age division.

NSGA QUALIFYING 

Disc Golf will be classified as an “OPEN” sport. Athletes do not need to qualify at a 2026 state qualifier.

DOUBLE MEDALING/QUALIFYING

The Alabama Senior Olympics (ASO) is an open state and welcomes out-of-state participants. Out-of-state athletes are eligible to medal and to qualify for the National Senior Games; however, they do not take a qualifying position or medal away from an Alabama resident.

If an out-of-state participant places in the top three of their division, they will receive the medal earned and any qualifying position in accordance with NSGA rules for each sport. The ASO will then award medals to the top three Alabama athletes and qualify Alabama residents according to NSGA qualifying rules for each sport (see Rule H).
