Who remembers Week 14 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrCK5FJ-wb8) last year?

[Trozzle!!!]

I am bummed. I committed to bowling with my wife so will miss the first 4 weeks. I hope to make most weeks after that. I have also been recruiting heavily and spreading the word. I hope to see some really big turnouts.

Woo hoo.. I am going in search of urns.

The Breeze will be out in force. I'm tempted to play this season with only the Breeze.

Gilmore.. what do you think want to make every other week a 1 disc week ;)

Hmmmm..... :chinscratch: what single disc do I have that can compete with the breeze from the breeze huckin' master?

Nope, no 1-disc weeks! :whistler:

[larsonjeff]

Gilmore..

You got any new tricks up your sleeve for this season? New bounties? Secret sponsors? Fundraisers?

Looking forward to playing... let's talk soon, I might be willing to sponsor a bounty or something.

I did find a pair of special trophies in my garage. I need to figure out what they will be for. I'm thinking first team to shoot -18 this season may get them.

Ken, you do plenty! :bowing:Tuesday Two's is what really got me hooked on disc golf. You run a fun event that best represents the ideals of the sport. It gives beginners and seasoned veterans a great venue to get out during the week and truely enjoy some good casual competition. Thank you for all that you do. :yay:

Well tomorrow is the big day for Twos. :yay: Anyone interested in a warm up round in preparation? I will be up at Orchard about 6 tonight for a couple of loops. I will be taking my girlfriend out for her second round ever. :rockon: I will have bag tag #44 with me if anyone is feeling like a challenge.

[zippyboy]

I won't be out there tonight, but I am hoping to make it to the course early tomorrow afternoon. If the weather stays nice enough, I may make the journey in the THING! :jumpspin:

Can't wait to see everyone there!

Sorry McGrew, FULL! You are first on the wait list though.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Sorry McGrew, FULL! You are first on the wait list though.

Not true, Keys! There ARE a few spots held back for Touring AM Baggers!:D

Bob

[zippyboy]

I hope there's a spot for touring 'Nation huckers, too. Word is, I may not be the only 'Nation member making the journey...

As for my (or, our) arrival time, I am hoping for 4:30 at the latest. Traffic may alter that arrival time, though.

"I'm so excited! I'm gonna show up early and help set-up decorations!"

[Trozzle!!!]

I am hoping to find someone to pick me up at 5 at my workplace near Orchard Park. I am about a 5 min drive from there, but at least a 25 min walk. After a hard days work, I dont know if I want to walk that far to go play :(

[Trozzle!!!]

I got 2 possible rides now, I am in for sure. I still have the legacy of the most events attened ever for this, but lost my streak of events held in a row ( 3 years). I plan to make an announcement about the Deaf Championships tomorrow and hope to get more locals to donate to the tourney. I would love to see the winners donate to the event in the name of Tue 2's but we will see???

[zippyboy]

Whomever is selling the patches and the Wizards for Stumptown, I will be at Orchards tonight and would like to buy a patch, and a Wizard if there is one at 175g. I will have extra cash on me. Just someone please let me know if this would be possible. Thanks.

~Z

[D-Walk]

So today is finally the day!! :yay::yay::yay: Who else will be heading out there a little earliy today for a warm up round? I am thinking about sneaking out of work a little early, but wanted to see what others plans were.

[zippyboy]

Me! Me! Me! I hope to be there no later than 4:30. I will have my Stumptown tag in tow if anybody wants to move up to sweet #51 :whistler:

[LegoRules]

I am going to try to get there early as well :)

Cindy :)

[Scott]

I missed a ton of Tuesdays last year because Matthew had baseball games. I was secretly happy when he decided not to play this year. But at the last minute he decided to play spring basketball instead. I was tapped as coach. We practice one night a week. Want to guess what night of the week it is? :headbang:

I hope to make it out for the second round tonight and get some pictures. Other than that, we'll see you guys in June. :mad:

I'm very curious to see how many show up tonight. With the weather and anticipation I wouldn't be suprised to see 50+.

[D-Walk]

I will be up at Orchard about 4ish for a couple warm up rounds. See all you early birds up there! :yay: :trophy:

[JMan]

Elanor and I will be there shortly after 4 for a few warm up holes.

[Sam]

Nothing? Did no one show up?

[Jet]

Nothing? Did no one show up?
We had a record number play for the first week. I think 48 players. No one got the ace pot. There was an A pool and a B pool. Gilmore and Mark won first place. Elanor was indeed there. I won a ctp disc on hole 7. -That's all I remember. Oh, and it was fun!

[Sam]

An A pool and a B pool? Is this something that will continue all year? No longer straight random?

[gwillim]

An A pool and a B pool? Is this something that will continue all year? No longer straight random?

I believe that is Ken's intention. It eliminates two Pro players getting seated together when there are always more newer players than skilled players. It's really unfair, in my opinion, to have two highly skilled players seated together when there are so many players of significantly less skill at TT. Having pools will give the less skilled players a better chance of being partnered with a higher skilled player, improving the chance of cashing, and also they will have more of an opportunity to learn from the higher skilled player.

Basically, I think it's a great idea, given the assumed intention that TT is for growing the sport and giving newer players a chance to try competing in a low stress, laid back environment. Kudos to you, Ken!

[Sam]

I don't think it is a bad idea... just different than years' past and was curious if it would be this way going forward. I like it, actually. I can't wait to get paired up with a player of higher skill when I get out there. :)

Seriously, though... do you know how he decides who is A and who is B?

900>..........A pool
<900......B pool

Seemed to work well last night. New Bounty this year Sponsored by Stumptown. For any female player that shoots 17 down with a partner or 12 down cali gets $100 paid by Stumptown for any upcoming Tournament.

Another new sponsor this year is Next Adventure. Ken still doesn't have details of what kind of Bounty they will sponsor but they will also be sending out CTP's each week. Woohoooooooooooooo!

Bob

[Trozzle!!!]

900>..........A pool
<900......B pool

That is mostly true, but for those right on the edge, you may get shifted either up or down to even the pools. Happened last night when Pat Darr (rated 895) got bumped up to A Pool and was lucky enough to get me (B pool) as a partner :)

[Sam]

Lucky because... he knew you couldn't be making posts while he could keep his eyes on you? :laughing:

[KenGilmore]

We had 46 players last night, which is indeed a record for the first week of Tuesday Twos (Last year we had 23)!

We had 3 CTP prizes donated by Jeff Larson, Jason McGrew and Justin Mann.

The A/B Pool approach was pretty much summed up by Ryan and Bob, but here is a little more color:

We started by roughly grouping A players (900+) and B players (< 900). It turned out we had roughly 16 A players and 30 B players. So, we then balanced the field by moving the top 8 B players to the A pool. After balancing, perhaps the division looks more like 850+ and < 850?

The other half of the story is that given an odd number of players, the person playing 'cali' will never come from the B pool. I think this is fair in that B players will probably never want to be forced to play cali and some/most A players would enjoy getting to play cali. For the record, the four highest scores posted last year (+32, +9, +4, +3) were all posted by a B pool player playing cali.

I am very interested in hearing general opinions about the whole pooling idea. My only concern with it involves the balancing of pools. I don't want to create a situation where the top of the A pool usually wins, the brunt of the B pool does when paired with top A poolers, and the tweeners (~850ish) rarely cash because they are always paired with B poolers and can't usually carry the team by themselves.

I'd love feedback!

[Jet]

Having an A and B pool is awesome! It make it more fair.

[KenGilmore]

Another question I posed to the group last night:

Should we continue the practice of having a CTP playoff to break ties of all cashing positions, or only to break ties for 1st place instead?

Scenario:
Team A: -16
Team B: -16
Team C: -15
Team D: -15
Team E: -14

Option 1: Playoff All Cashing Positions
1. Team A (wins CTP playoff) $1000
2. Team B $700
3. Team C (wins CTP playoff) $500
4. Team D $300
5. Team E $150

Option 2: Only Playoff 1st Place
1. Team A (wins CTP playoff) $1000
2. Team B $700
3. Team C $400
3. Team D $400
5. Team E $150

Hey, as long as we are playing supposition theater, might as well dream big! :wink2:

If we only playoff for 1st, things will go quicker at the end. Also, nobody shoots a good round only to leave empty handed only because of a single CTP throw on hole 1.

Once again, feedback is very appreciated!

[KenGilmore]

One last note, I've been making to changes to the website so I can archive past years data so it will be a day or two until I get last nights scores in.

[zippyboy]

The splitting of the A pool and the B pool seems like a pretty good idea - I like the opportunity to learn from the people I throw with on my card (and last night was perfect for that). However, I do also really like the randomness of disregarding the pools. For a one-time doubles event, the pools make the most sense. For a league, I think the complete random draw works just fine. Just my $.02. Whatever the choice, this is still one of the best run leagues in the NW!

Also, regarding the playoff... May as well just throw for first. That should keep us from having to have multiple groups throwing in the dark like we did at the end of last season.

~Z

[OkieinOR]

Ken,

I really like the idea of the A/B grouping. I like Option 2 for the playoff scenario, but have a question. If there are no playoffs for ties after 1st, do they get the same # of points? I would assume so, but this is different from years past.

It's killing me that I can't make it for a few weeks. I committed to a bowling league with my wife. Only 3 more weeks left, then I will be a regular at TT! Hope to bring several recruits with me as well to get the attendance up even higher!!

I personally love seeing the throw offs at the end. In "supposition theater" if Team D, E, F, and G don't throw off and each team splits $400 and walks away with $100 not a big deal. But in REAL life if Team D, E, F, and G tie and split $4, each team getting a dollar, each player getting .50 :chinscratch:hmmmmm, I think a throw off and the winners splitting the $4 sounds much better. :yay:

I was thinking about this last night and I think the low end A pool players are going to get screwed in the long run. The people with the biggest advantage are the top end B poolers.

I wonder if you can set something up where tweeners get placed in a pool based on their current standings or how they placed in the last event.

I also see the possibility of the top 12 not accurately reflecting peoples' level of play. With the advantage top B poolers have you may see them making up the majority of the top 12.

Thanks for trying to improve an already great league Ken. I do like the idea of the pools and had a great time last night.

[Scott]

I disagree. The top B poolers are likely to get bumped into the a-pool (assuming that, most weeks, there will be more B players than A players). Then you'll have a B/B team playing a bunch of A/B teams.

I love the A/B concept, but it seems that it will only work well if there is an equal number of both. I see lots of room for whining and crying, but of course people did that when it was random.

By "top B poolers" I mean people who actually play in the B pool. By B pool I'm not referring to a player with a <900 rating. People that are sub 900 rated players that get bumped into the A pool are A poolers.

[KenGilmore]

I am trying out the discgolfscene.com website for posting Tuesday Twos results. This will be secondary to the existing TT website.

You can check it out here (http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/2009_Tuesday_Twos).

If you are on discgolfscene already, I can link your TT results to your player profile. It will automatically add the scores to your profile and display achievements from league finishes. I just need your profile email address you use to log in to discgolfscene.

The double entry is a pain in the a$$, however, so I will likely enlist the help of others to transfer players and scores to the discgolfscene site from the TT site.

BTW, the TT site should be updated very soon now.

Tuesday Twos Website (http://www.gilbuddy.com/tt) updated with the exception of the bounties and a few planned changes.

[Flash]

Ken,

As a fellow numbers geek, I appreciate your attempt to even out the field but in this case i think random is the way to go, as long as it is truly random. Splitting the fields is fine but if you were trying to even it out you would need to place the Number 1 A pool person with the last place B pooler and continue until you get to the bottom A pooler paired with the top B pooler. This is the only way to accommodate player abilities accurately.

My reasons for random are:
1. Its easier to set up and pair up meaning less work for the TD.
2. Setting up two different pools and randomly matching will cause problems for boarder line players who some weeks will be in the A pool and some weeks the B pool.
3. People did not earn their ratings at Orchard so those ratings will not accurately determine their ability to play at Orchard.
4. Weather will be a big factor for the B poolers and a slight hinderance to the A poolers.
5. Player ability for pool settings is a guess at best, someone could be killing orchard but does not play in events and has no rating!

[LegoRules]

Tuesday Two's yesterday was my first ever, and I had a blast. I liked the pool A pool B concept. Granted my partner last night was Sean Phillips HELLO pretty awesome partner for my first one. :rockon: I wish I could have putted a little better, but I had a great time can't wait for next week.

DITTO! :biggrin2:

[KenGilmore]

Maybe we should use pools every other week! :chinscratch:

[Maidenrules]

Or 'A' poolers use just one disc.

[larsonjeff]

Or 'A' poolers use just one disc.

How about A-poolers putt with their off hand?

- I too like the intention of the A/B pools but I think it could slow the start each week (as it is determined who is good enough to move to the A-pool).
- Also I bet that the bottom A-poolers will suffer as they will never get paired up with a top 12 player.
- With only the top 10 of the 19 weeks counting is the A/B pool necessary?


Either way I'll support TT and show up when I am able. I'll be trying to dig up some more obscure CTPs for this year (yet to secure any urns.. someone asked me last night if I planned to bring a casket... I doubt that will happen, but you never know).

[D-Walk]

Aaaaaaah, the sweet smell of Tuesday. Is anyone heading up there a little early this afternoon?

[zippyboy]

I'm gonna try, but my journey is always subject to the whims of traffic...

Yeah my husband Steve just sent me a text saying he is off early, so Steve and Cindy will be there around 4:30ish.

Cindy :)

For me, there are two words that sum up yesterday's Tuesday Twos: Celibatory Cookies. Some people laugh, others need an explanation... Ask Jet. :biggrin2:

Thanks to Scott Hill for bringing me a disc that he found at Next Adventure that belonged to a fellow 'Nation member (which was not sold to Next Adventure by said 'Nation member). It was much appreciated.

Also, it was nice to not have to beat up Bob Cabal, since it didn't actually rain until the end of the awards. Bishop and I versus OTH Bob in a Pier 6 brawl? Would have been brutal.

See you all next week (and some of you at the Mud on Saturday)!

[D-Walk]

Ask Jet.

I do believe you mean Jet Butters my friend. :biggrin2::laughing:

[zippyboy]

Yes. Yes I do mean Jet Butters. :laughing:

Seriously, I had so much fun last night. Nice job hitting some of those putts in the wind, D. You were on fire!

[D-Walk]

Yes. Yes I do mean Jet Butters. :laughing:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Last night was a lot of fun. My thanks to Jason Pinkal for carrying me to my first cash in two years of playing TT's. :yay:It amazes me how many new players we have this year. It says a lot about how the sport is growing and what a great event this has become. Thanks to Ken for all of his hard work in making this happen.

That was definitely the most fun I've had in a group at Tuesday Twos without cashing! :rockon:

Yeah fun group and it was nice the rain held off until after the tourney. I'll save the celebratory cookie til next week, unless I get hungry and eat it.

I echo this sentiment,you all are some professional fun havers!!
I think there could be a future in 'slapstick disc golf'. Ah heck. It's just fun to say JET BUTTERS in a low serious voice.

I made a small change to the Tuesday Twos website in that you can now select results, standings, aces, ctps, etc from past years (2007-2009).

Just select what you want to view (e.g. standings) and then select the appropriate year from the year dropdown box near the top right of the page.

It defaults to the current year unless you change it.

I almost have my wife talked into going to two's next week. She has reservations because of her skill level(being fairly new to dg and having limited distance) I am trying to tell her i have yet to meet a dg'er that has ever been rude to a noob for participating at 2's or otherwise. What else can I tell her to put her mind at ease. I have been wanting to get out there and play just am trying to get my better half to share the dg addiction with me. Any advice for my pursuading her to play would be appreciated. :cheers:

Grant

[TreeLove]

Tell her if she gets me as a partner and I get an ace I will split the pot with her....

(I have a job in Hillsboro today, so I hope to attend Twos afterward)

There are some weeklies that I would not take a new player to, but Tuesday Twos is NOT one of them. It is a unique atmosphere that makes both beginners and experienced players feel comfortable. My ten year old son hopes to play this summer, as soon as spring basketball season finishes.

Grant,

Ask your wife is she enjoy the game or the competition side of disc golf and you will have your answer. Natalie enjoys playing disc golf with me and friends but she has no interest in playing in a competitive environment, ever!!!

Same for my wife. :slapface:

[Celeste]

Tell her about the monthly Chick Flicks and the Chick Flick tournament Aug. 1-2. The monthlies are just a casual round. The tournament this year will be two days, but the first day is not competative. Clinics and a casual round. You can pay for just one day if you want.

Thanks for the feedback. I think we will probably show up next week. She definately sounds interested in the Chick Flicks so maybe I can get her hooked so I can justify all the discs stored in my garage and why I need to go play as often as I want to. Then again maybe not. Thanks all.

[jabberjawsteve]

Jabber... you show up and I've got a prize for you.
hey I forgot about this- I think that Larson did too.
It was great to see everyone out there. I totally miss having such a relaxed and fun event right after work.
quite a few players were talking about getting hooked up for the monster. come on out and you should be able to get on a team easily-
Lovin' the Two's:cheers:

[KenGilmore]

Week 4 was pretty interesting.

1) We had 54 people and were forced to close registration due to a maxed out field! (This is the 1st time we've had to do this, although we've been close before)

2) Mat Crider got another ace (hole 5, $102). So far, he's the only one who has aced this year and he's done it twice now and has taken all the acepot $$$! (I'm sure Haley doesn't mind, though.)

3) Johnny Lamont and David Dickerson were the first team to win a bounty this year, by winning the Next Adventure Secret Score Bounty with a score of -4.

4) I was just checking and since 2007, 269 different players have played at least one Tuesday Twos round. Well over half have played multiple events.

5) Sean Fry has played the most rounds since 2007: 40.

My prediction: Crider's partner will be thrilled in 2 weeks when he aces hole 6 (with that same Roc he got 4 and 5 with) and they split the $108 ace pot.

may need to get a ride to/from the max.

Calling Shonfry, you playing this week? anyone else able to p-u me at the max?

[zippyboy]

Darr, are you gonna come out and throw this afternoon? If so, I have the cash for one of those Champion Destroyers. If not, OTH Bob, do you have a 175g BSF Champion Destroyer left that I could purchase from you? Somebody let me know, I will have the $20 on me this afternoon. Oh, and I might have the Lucky Mud bag tags with me this afternoon - only $10.

Thanks Darr. If not, no worries. I do have another source lined up. However, if the discs do make it out there, you were the first to offer them to me, so I would still buy from ya first.

[Jet]

Ken, thanks for running the tournament tonight even though you weren't feeling good. Playing catch helped my putting.

[KenGilmore]

Help!

I ended up having to drop out of the BSF before my last round to take care of my sick wife and family. Now, I've got whatever they had and I can't run Tuesday Twos tonight.

I'm looking for someone to help run it in my absence! If you are willing to run it in my place, I will get you the necessary stuff.

Sorry to hear that. This is my last week of not being able to play, otherwise I would be there for you.

Get better.

[Jet]

I just woke up. Sorry to hear you are sick Ken. Did someone run it tonight?

[smobro]

You heard it right! Barsby and Mitch (Trojan Nation) threw a perfect round at Tuesday Two's tonight! Yep the same Barsby that just won the NT in Santa Cruz. I have footage to share but need a techie to get it from my camera to your computer. Crider? Gilmore? I filmed the last 6 holes and let me tell you, Mitch did lots of the work it wasn't all Barsby by any means. Way to go Mitch! You must have glacial veins man!

[chris7graham]

SICK:rockon::shocked::jumpspin::biggrin2:

[D-Walk]

Wow. Not a good night to miss 2s apparently. Way to go Sir Mitch and Barsby. Impressive to say the least. :bowing:

[Scott]

Wow. Not a good night to miss 2s apparently. Way to go Sir Mitch and Barsby. Impressive to say the least. :bowing:

As usual, I got there about about 3/4 through the second round. When I heard Barsby was there I decided to follow his group for the final holes. That guy is so smooth, but the highlight of the night for me was watching Mitch nail that 40 footer on their last hole (6) to seal the perfect round. Icewater!

[Sam]

HA! That guy is so cool. Barsby's a nice guy, too. :laughing:

Nice shooting, Mitch! :cheers:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I have Beaver State Fling, Glow Firebird as a CTP for next week. Signed by Mitch and Barsby. Definetly a wall hanger with those two signitures on it.

Bob

[zippyboy]

:blush:

Thanks, guys. That was quite a round last night. Barsby has one of the most impressive sidearm throws I have ever witnessed! It was a pretty good feeling to know that I actually contributed, instead of just being carried the entire way - probably one of the better rounds I have thrown in quite a long time (speaking just of my own performance). It was nice to have my putting game show up at just the right time.

That kid sure can throw - and was amazingly cool to hang out with for 18 holes. He seems really down to earth, and had some great stories from being out on the tour.

The only frustrating thing was screwing up the payout at the end of the tourney. Dustin and I did our best trying to get everything right without messing it up. I guess the good thing is, we erred by paying out one extra spot.

[Scott]

:blush:

It was a pretty good feeling to know that I actually contributed, instead of just being carried the entire way - probably one of the better rounds I have thrown in quite a long time.
When I arrived, you were on hole 3. This is what I witnessed:
Hole 3: They play Barsby's drive (near ace), Mitch hits the ~15 putt.
Hole 4: They play Mitch's disc, Greg hit's the ~10' putt
Hole 5: I don't recall. Mitch's drive/Greg's putt?
Hole 6: Greg goes OB long (crazy skip). Mitch nails the 40 footer to seal the perfect round.


Yeah, from what I saw you played pretty damn good.

That kid sure can throw - and was amazingly cool to hang out with for 18 holes. He seems really down to earth, and had some great stories from being out on the tour. I was really impressed with this kid. When I got there, he walked by me and we started talking like we've known each other for years. Very nice guy.

I guess the good thing is, we erred by paying out one extra spot.
The first thing that comes to mind is all the times that I've finished one spot out of the cash. WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU THEN? :laughing:

[XandorF]

Hey! that was so much fun! This week was my first week out, but i hope to make it to many more!
thanks for everyone that puts it on and all the vendors for the CTP's, you guys are the best!

see you around,

Xander

[KenGilmore]

Thanks so much to Dustin and Mitch and anyone else that helped pick up the slack for me while I was sick. It is very much appreciated!

You guys rock!

[larsonjeff]

oh man, wish I could have been there to see it... who convinced Barsby to show up? way cool.

Yep, Ebee! :kissflowers::kissflowers::kissflowers:

[Sam]

He came to Pier Dubs last night, too. He won with a -13. Brian Breece was his partner.

[Scott]

He told me he'd be sticking around town all week before heading up to Spokane this weekend.

[LILstuff]

He'll be in town till tomorrow, and will be out to smoke Dabney Doubles tonight.... and I am sure he'll back after Spokane ;)

[Greg_R]

Hole 6: Greg goes OB long (crazy skip). Mitch nails the 40 footer to seal the perfect round. If you were OB, how would you have a perfect round (perfect = 18 birdies)? Did you play from Mitch's spot?

[Kevin Madrid]

He'll be in town till tomorrow, and will be out to smoke Dabney Doubles tonight.... and I am sure he'll back after Spokane

Sweet I was hoping he would make it to Dabney tonight!

:cool2:

[Scott]

They did play from Mitch's lie.

[KenGilmore]

Did anybody ace?
Were there CTPs? (Who, what hole, prize, etc?)

I need to update the results.

[keys]

[Kevin Madrid]

Well Barsby did show up and yes the 3-peat did take place :trophy:.
It was a little closer then I expected. Their winning score was -11 with four other groups at -10.

Scott Searles was Barsby's partner...Scott carried the 2nd leader board on Sunday (at the BSF) and watched Barsby play the whole round. I think it was awesome he was matched up and played with him last night.

[Sam]

Wow.

[Bluedisc]

Too bad the Lunchtime League doesn't start until next week--it would have been interesting to see him light that course up too! :shocked:

[Pizzel]

What did he and his partner shoot at Pier?

[Sam]

-13

[Sam]

Too bad the Lunchtime League doesn't start until next week--it would have been interesting to see him light that course up too! :shocked:

There was word of him coming back next week. It's a possibility. You think he likes food? :)

[Kevin Madrid]

I did speak with him for a second and he mentioned it was a good possibility we may see him again...

He did say that it was very cool to be able to have an event every night of the week and wished they had something like this back in his home town. Milpond responded welcome to Portland golf. I couldn't say it any better.

:cool2:

[zippyboy]

I would think by now his arms would be tired from all of the carrying he's done this week. :laughing:

[LILstuff]

You lil rascall you! ;)

Bob

:cop:good times

whats not to like about portland golf? :biggrin2: Hope get the win in WA this weekend too

[LILstuff]

.... :chinscratch: :wink2:

if he shows up again tell him I'll teach him how to throw a Breeze :)

haha i will be sure to pass that on... you are the breeze masta! :bowing:

[zippyboy]

So, a few things....

1) How is it that "NW Fantasy DG League" has its own category, and yet "Leagues" (such as this one) don't have their own category? Just curious.

2) Ken, are you feeling better? (I know that this will most likely be read as, Ken, are Dustin and I gonna have to figure out how to run this again? But hey, what can I do?)

3) I will have Lucky Mud bag tags in my possession. I will be selling them for $10 each. If you have questions, just ask me.

Thanks. Can't wait to see everyone again.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I will not be able to attend tonight as I have a Stumptown Board meeting. I gave the CTP disc to Darr and he will bring it tonight.

Bob

[Sam]

I saw Ken this morning. He looks like he is feeling fine and seemed to be wearing golf clothes so I am guessing he will be there. :cheers:

[KenGilmore]

I'll be there! :cool:

[Scott]

I heard there were some pretty sick happenings at the Twos last night. A few aces?

I also heard that the cap of 54 players was hit and players were turned away. :shocked: Can online registration be far away? :o

[D-Walk]

I heard there were some pretty sick happenings at the Twos last night. A few aces?

3 aces by two players. One caught on film. Larson had 2 and Roller had one.

I also heard that the cap of 54 players was hit and players were turned away. :shocked:

Yeah, there were no reserved spots for touring Pros this week.

Can online registration be far away? :o

Doubt that would happen, but if you want to play you might have to camp out Monday night for a spot in line. Twos is the hot ticket in town.

[Scott]

Was kind of kidding about the online registration (note the smiley).

It will kind of suck if I finally get out there next week and I can't get in. How early do you have to be there to get in? Did the guys who were turned away show up late, or did it fill early?

It was a combo of both. If you want to get in be there at 5:30 when they start collecting money. No more of the 'play a round and wander in to sign up". I believe there were people on the course that did not get in. It did fill pretty quickly tho.

A few of us were commenting on how many NEW faces were out last night. :trophy:

the line forms in front of Gilmore even before he gets set up. I would say anything past 5:30 and you are not likely to get a spot. You could always phone a friend if you are running late. I had 2 other guys money last night. I do charge a fee for signing people up. JK

Might have to do that. It will be a mighty challenge being there by 5:30.

[zippyboy]

Wow. Is this getting to the point where we're going to need velvet ropes and security guards for sign-ups? If so, I am requesting a black t-shirt with the word "security" on the back - in trade for me running security, naturally.

Bob

[zippyboy]

Um, no. Being in the "A" pool this past week did nothing to help my partner, unfortunately. We did manage to finish tied for 4th from last, though. At any rate, maybe D-Walk and I can both run security. I don't think too many people would want to mess with both of us... :evilgrin:

That's what throwing a perfect round will get you - a one way ticket to the A-pool!

[KenGilmore]

Except I didn't move Mitch to the A-pool! Unfortunately, his partner was moved from B-pool to A-pool as part of the random balancing.

Results and standings have been caught up from when I was sick. It took longer than usual also because I corrupted the database two weeks ago. :slapface:

But all is fixed now.

Because of the high probability of having to turn players away, from now on I will no longer be accepting payments for other players. Everyone will have to stand in line themselves to register and pay to play.

This is the only fair way of handling the situation as I have already told others that they cannot pay me in advance if they have a hard time getting to the park at 5:30.

(This all reminds me of Lunchtime League 2 or 3 years ago when we had the big acepots...)

Didn't know that databases could catch the swine flu!
They can, indirectly. Especially when you try to manually update a row to fix a mistake and then don't write the where clause correctly and update 45 rows instead of 1. I'm blaming it on the swine flu, though.

Good thing I could repair the database easily using the data available on the website.

Was nice to see the turnout last night. The casual groups definitely got in the way though. I asked Ken about what it costs to reserve the park. $50 is the cost. If we can begin gathering people to contribute maybe we can have smoother rounds without the fear of getting thrown on which I did see happen last night.

Maybe we could do work parties in exchange for the Tuesday rentals, after all majority of players from TT's help put the tee pads in!

Just a thought

I'd be for this in favor of chipping in the cash.

Also, a little sandwhich board by hole one that announces "League Night" might do wonders. You don't have to say the park is closed - let people assume.

I like this idea also! As many of the new TT's players are users of the park it would be a good way to give back for them to the park as well.

The only problem with the work party in exchange for money idea is that REI works on this park for free. I just don't see HPD taking you guys up on this offer, sadly. Not saying that they wouldn't but I think it would take more than just a phone call and a short conversation.

If the event is so popular, raise the entry fee by $1 per player per week. You get 50 players, you have just paid for next week's park closure.

My 2 cents, anyway. Sure do hope to make it out to one of these eventually. Maybe the last week. :whistler: :cheers:

[Jet]

We talked about this a little on Tuesday night but if the entry free was raised by $1 and 50 or more players showed up, that would cover the $50 park fee. If more than 50 players showed, then the money could be kept for future weeks in case fewer than 50 showed up. Paying an extra $1 per person isn't so bad esp when it means we have less time standing around and more time playing and finishing sooner.

[Brody Cannon]

I didn't mind the extra groups enough to pay extra money. I think there should just be a sign saying "Tuesday Twos League, Random Draw Doubles, Only $5, Sign Up At 5:30 If You Want To Play". By doing that, it doesn't say the course is CLOSED but gets the message to them that if they want to play they must be there for the league.

[Sam]

No. Won't work Brody. Most players will be like, "Oh, League... nah. Let's just play casual." And then you can do nothing to stop them from playing. And it WILL get worse before it gets better, I assure you.

I am sure you can scrounge up an extra buck to INSURE it is closed.

[Jason Philips]

Sam, you hit it perfectly. There will be casual groups sign or not.

The only realistic way to keep most people from clogging the course any worse than it already is would be to pay the fee and put up a course closed sign with a reason why.

If raising the entry by $1 chases people away then maybe it would be a natural filter for the quantity of players that come out each week. There are plenty of people willing to pay a little more for the convenience of not getting thrown on.

As much as it warrants it's own discussion it is very surprising to me how cheap many disc golfers can be. Maybe it is a NW thing as I have seen it in the club scene too.

Ken just informed me that he will not be able to run T2s tonight. I have been asked to run it, and will, unless someone else would like to run it. I will bring all the necessary stuff with me.

If someone has a stash of pencils and a few CTP flags bring them please.

I just wanted to thank Keys and Roller for stepping up last night and running Twos. Great job guys!!

One strategy that'll keep casual groups from coming on tuesday is to not let them play through during the rounds. Then they will see how slow it is if they want to play on tuesday. As long as someone tells them that TUESDAY is league night, they'll remember that and will probably not come to play a casual round during the league or will join the league.

[Scott]

Casual players have the same right to play in the park that we do, unless the park is closed. :nono:

I didn't say that they didn't! I'm not saying 'kick them off' or anything. I'm just saying 'make them wait at each hole as long as we do so in the future they decide not to come during league'... there's a big difference!

Also, closing the park is hypocritical if you're saying that they should be allowed to play at the same time

Sorry, I mis-read ya. Are groups letting casuals play through? I know my group never does. :whistler:

I don't see my statement about closing the park as being hypocritcal, because everyone has the right to do that. Mr. Casual Player has the right to pay $50.00 to have the park to himself, just like we have the right to pay $50.00 to limit the park to TT players.

OK gang... Last week it was pretty damn hot and we had the lowest turnout of the season. Where the heck was everybody? In the AC? :rolleyes2:
Hopefully the turnout will be a little better this week. The good news was that there were very few casual players on the course. Parking was still a bitch.

Grab that sunscreen and extra water and come on down!

Sounds like you plan to be there Scott. That's great. Could I stop by and pick up my Teebird?

I'll have two water jugs out there for everybody. We all stayed hydrated last night at Lunchtiime and everything was fine. Don't let a little heat stop anyone.

This thing still running? Still doing the A/B version of doubles?

Am I winning the league?

I had this terrible nightmare last night. Tuesday Two's was about to end. In this dream, we were about to start the playoffs and then there would be 33 long weeks of no Twos after that.

Then, sadly, I realized it wasn't just a dream. :waaah::waaah::waaah::waaah:

It's not too late. Come on out for one last round of random doubles craziness!



(BTW, I missed the playoffs in my dream, too :headbang:)

[larsonjeff]

Thanks Ken for running TT again this year. Wish I could have made more weeks and qualified for the top 12, but alas there is always next year. I really appreciate your hard work and commitment to the sport and all that play TT.

Signed,
Breeze Huckin' Master

[Scott]

Thanks Ken for another great season!

Congratulations, Champ. :trophy:

[larsonjeff]

So.... is there a plan to Tuesday Twos this year? I hope so as I'm already wanting to be out there.
