View Full Version : RCO Registration Update
Bullseye
May 26th, 2009, 07:06 AM
Due to the complete lack of response from the people running the PDGA online sign-up process we will NOT be opening online registration today. If I do not hear from them either today or tomorrow I'm going to look in to other options.
I would also like to thank everyone who manned the Stumptown tent at the BSF this weekend. They took a lot of RCO entries while I was out playing.
I will be at Pier Doubles tomorrow night if anyone would like to sign up in person.
Keep an eye on this thread for more information.

We are currently trying to get the online registration open, but its looking like it won't happen for a couple of days still.
I will be at Pier Park Doubles tonight accepting entries for the RCO. This will be your LAST chance to register before the floodgates open ;)

Is there a registration form that I can print out to mail you a check? I just looked at the 80 registrations online and got freaked out! I'm kicking myself for forgetting to get you a check last weekend :angry:

Jeff,
I think Sam has a valid question and not just a complaint.
The question to be asked is: Are there legitimate holes at Trojan or Pier that can be aced by all skill levels? My answer would be yes For Trojan but no for Pier.
In the future all we have to do is say that a portion of the entry fee will be collected for maintenance and improvements at Pier Park. In a sense the Ace pot can fulfill this requirement but not all individuals have a realistic chance at getting the ace so they become donators while the individuals who have a chance become gamblers!
It could even work like this: entry fee was $62 dollars and ace pot would be collected at check-in. That way the TD would not have to worry about the amount of the ace pot if the ace is hit because he/she would have the cash in hand from check-in. The extra 2 dollars per person would be set aside as an event fee and assigned to help improve Pier Park.

Last year Titledisc.com was used for tourney registrations and there didn't seem to be the problems that there have been in entering tourneys/getting registrations opened on the website. Why isn't anyone using titledisc.com this year?With Titledisc, you need to transfer all the registrants into the PDGA's system (TD report, player list, etc.). With the PDGA reg you can see your name immediately on the website. Also, the PDGA's system is cheaper for the players... part of your membership subsidizes that process. Finally, Titledisc was not known for prompt service and taking care of problems (simply because it was one guy who wanted a life). That owner sold it to a new person but by that time most of the '09 ORS events had switched over to the PDGA. However, it sounds like the PDGA system is also experiencing growing pains. Obviously, complete local control (ala Stumptown website signup) will be the most ideal, assuming that the system is stable and can handle the traffic.

personally i dont think ace pots should ever be mandatory. and also i dont think any ace pot should be kept for any club if somebody doesnt hit an ace. if nobody hits an ace during a tournament then there should be a CTP throw off for everybody so that the ace pot can be paid out. it is an ACE POT not a donation.

I don't think ace pots should be mandatory, just ask Micha, and think it fine for the host club to put the money into the course used. Provided it doesn't take a year for those improvements to be achieved.
erp
May 28th, 2009, 12:48 PM
I'd let the PDGA site work through their issues rather than try to duplicate their efforts with stumptown resources - why?
Because you will always get major spikes in traffic around registration times and need to arrange for hosting to cover those spikes, even though there are only 3 or 4 of them per year.
Drives up the cost of the Stumptown site - better to direct that traffic to PDGA.org or whatever their url is since they will be getting significant traffic all the time and must provide adequate hosting for it.
Better to gently work through the issues with the PDGA site and hope they get it right soon - give them feedback on what works and what doesn't...they'll get it eventually...

When I first read about the mandatory ace pot, I had no problem with it. But I have a realistic chance of getting an ace (although recent history might suggest otherwise) and I don't mind donating a few bones to help out other players, courses, etc.
But now that I think about other players/divisions, maybe a mandatory acepot isn't the way to go in the future. Not everyone has the same chance to get an ace, and maybe they aren't in a financial position to just "donate" a buck or two. But I like Jeff's creativity and trying to find new ways to improve the course. If TDs didn't try new things, events would never get bigger and better.
Having said that, if there is an acepot (mandatory or otherwise) I don't think it should be awarded for anything other than an ace. I suppose I wouldn't be upset by having a CTP throw-off for half of the acepot or something and letting the other half go to the club/course/etc. But in general I think acepots should be paid for aces. If not, they should rollover or something.
Regardless, this year, either somebody will be very happy (with an ace) or a lot of other people will be (those that enjoy Pier Park). Seems like win/win to me!

Complaining: Mandatory ace pot?! That's bullsh!t!
Questioning: Really? Mandatory ace pot? Seems unconventional for anything but a weekly...
Personally, I don't care as I always pay in to the ace pot (Ahem, Micah!). I just think that it is unconventional and think that some will forego the questioning and hop right onto complaining.

What's wrong with unconventional? If it weren't for unconventional we wouldn't have a sport. Well, we would but it wouldn't be this one.
As Ken so nicely put it, "If TDs didn't try new things, events would never get bigger and better."
I have no problem with the mandatory ace pot and think it's a great idea. And I have virtually no chance of hitting any of the holes.
Sam
May 28th, 2009, 02:04 PM
Again... I wasn't complaining. I was merely questioning. I passed no judgement on unconventional and, uh... anyone who knows me should know that I have no problem with unconventional.

One of the benefits of being the TD is that you get to make the rules for things like the Ace Pot, OB's, Mandos & Drop Zones just to name a few.
And as always it is up to the player to make the decision as to whether or not to sign up for any given tournament. If you have a serious problem with how the Ace Pot is set up, then maybe you should not sign up for this heinous donation system that seems to rob you of all joy in playing this tourney...:chinscratch:

It seems as though the requirement of the ace pot is an effort to generate money to go towards course improvement, a difficult yet noble cause. However, it seems as though that if some one does hit an ace then your efforts have gone for not. Why not just say, "instead of an ace pot for this event we (the TD'S) are asking you to donate the money you would have spent on an ace pot, to go towards course improvements." (read this with a dreamy mindset) Then people will feel the good feeling of charity flow over them and give more than 2 bucks as a donation and the course shall have a "cart girl/guy" (you know the one at golf courses that brings you snickers and beer) and the world will be right again.

I think that Mr. 163 said it best with his post in the first thread about the RCO:
jeff I just read the opening post, and read about the ace pot, and would like to commend u on how the ace pot will be used if it is not hit in the tourny. Last year I started a post on the forum that said an ace pot is just what the word means ACE! I think all other td's should learn from this format. The money that could be generated though all the N.W. tournament's that the ace pot was not hit would be mind blowing, if that money went in to a bank account and was used for course improvement for all that would host an event, could draw from the money, that was put in an ace pot, not the closest to the pin pot? anyway great job:bowing::bowing:
It's an ACE pot, not a CTP pot. If someone hits it great! They deserve the cash, but since the Oregon Series isn't the same as it used to be, there is no carryover to the next tourney like in years past.:pirate:
erp
May 28th, 2009, 04:01 PM
I agree on rolling unclaimed ace pots back into the community or course.
Last year after the Hab/Rec I was sitting at the car when someone told me to grab my roc and go throw a CTP shot, I was like, "a toss-off???, who'd wanna win a toss off?"
I threw anyway and wound up winning...would happily have had my ace $ go to the park or Stumptown, but I did keep the $60 :-)

The issue of that if the ace pot is not hit the money should go towards course improvements seems like a dead issue. However the idea of requiring people to pay an ace pot on the other hand is still up for grabs.

A lot of the holes depend on position, of course. At Pier, I don't know that there are any holes someone playing Intermediate Women could reach. Are there? Same question at Trojan. If there are, they need to spend some time on their putting and move up.

Sam is right I personally have a hard time getting a bird at peir let alone an ace. Don't think I have ever come close to reaching any of the baskets on one. I don't mind donating to the course though, but I would have not signed up for the ace pot given the choice. Don't know about Trojan I have not really played there much at all.

Thanks, Cindy. I also do not have an issue with a "donation" but if that donation is to someone who can ace one of the Pier holes in the short I will have thought it a good intention gone bad. I say we have a bucket at tournament central at both places and ask players to kick in some money on their own. What is collected at each park is put right back into that park.

Once registration opens on the Stumptown site, will there be some way that the site will know I have registered with the PDGA? I just did this morning, so obviously I don't have a number yet. I am hoping not to have to pay the extra $10 and get it refunded later. Cash is kind of tight right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, advice on which division I would be best suited for would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Jeff, last year at Trojan we ran three ghost groups, I believe, and it was fine. I know that you could run at least two at Pier, as well. This would at least give you 8 (with 2 GGs) more spots in both pools. Just a thought.
And neither 9 or 10 are reachable by most Advanced Women. Jamie throws far and she has had nothing better than a 40 foot at 10. 9 - even short - is still a good huk.

Actually the Ghost groups at Trojan last year brought the tournament round to a grinding halt as most groups had one or two people trying to be a hero and throw the impossible water shots. I know because I spotted the 12 to 13 Pro setup hole and it was not pretty! There was a 4 group back up at one point as people kept throwing discs in the water. This year I suggest using a painted drop zone near normal 12's basket area and making people throw from there for OB's
Bigger is not always better and for the 8 that you might let in, you will still be holding back 30 people. We let in 2 Ghost groups per course at BSF2009 and it almost pushed us into the dark. My advice, ponder it for awhile it should not be decided on lightly!

Yes. No Intermediate Woman can reach the pin on 10 in either position. 12 short is about the same distance but more open. Still... it's got to be close to 280 feet. If an Intermediate Woman can throw that far with any accuracy at all, she is playing in the wrong division.

Dustin,
She can reach it but can she have enough on it to ace the shot? I know Ebee has really been pushing her game lately and picking up distance but I am not sure she has the distance on those for a chain high ace run.
But I will be humbly satisfied if she claims she can.
I don't feel any holes at Pier are all levels of ace able fun, and the only hole at Trojan that could fit the bill would be hole 10 back by the pond and maybe 13 across the water to the peninsula in the short(Trojan reference is in particular to the layout used last year for the RCO)

Dustin,
She can reach it but can she have enough on it to ace the shot? I know Ebee has really been pushing her game lately and picking up distance but I am not sure she has the distance on those for a chain high ace run.
But I will be humbly satisfied if she claims she can.

I'm basing my opinion on what I have seen her throw in the field. This week I saw her put out a couple good pumps that I would estimate just over 300. Hole 12 short is somewhere in the 270-280 foot range? Now I'm not saying at this point she could run that hard at it every time, but she is starting to crush drives much more often.

In the field is hardly the same thing as throwing a golf shot. Were there trees in the field? Was the field uphill? If you have seen her pin these holes or throw beyond them, then she should move up. Crushing drives regularly at 270-280 feet would make a woman AT LEAST Advanced.
So I was right and Justin was still wrong. :D

If you saw my earlier post I said that I believe she is moving up. The shots I saw her throw in the field would be very appropriate lines for her to throw on hole 12.

Guess I should have payed more attention to the spots left, I didn't realize the pro side had filled. Oh well, guess I will find somewhere else to play on my birthday, guess I dropped the ball on this one, haha.

Thanks Treelove. I checked it before I posted, but they must have updated it since. Now I can rest easy and focus on my first tourney win at Lakewood this month.
