DNP stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of DNP across different fields and industries.
Did Not Play (DNP) is a term used in golf, disc golf, and other competitive sports to indicate that a player was registered for an event but did not participate. Unlike DNS (Did Not Start), which applies when a player is expected to start but does not, DNP typically refers to an absence before competition begins.
Common reasons for DNP status include:
- Injury or illness preventing participation.
- Personal or scheduling conflicts leading to withdrawal before the event.
- Failure to meet tournament registration or qualification requirements.
In official tournament results, a DNP player is listed but does not receive a recorded score, as they never competed. This classification can impact ranking points or future event eligibility, depending on the competition's rules.
