WA TEAM DG edition #2

[olydiscgolf]

This is the new face of WA Team Golf. Anybody interested in WA TEAM GOLF apply here. Anybody interested in bad mouthing, crap talking, BS! Go to the old thread, thats all it turned into!

Chris Gilberts

[Ode]

are the teams really going to be just picked? im sure thats easy when there are only so many that want in at a smaller course. but wouldnt it bear fairest to have some sort of competition to get on? i could see picked if it werent limited to a certain number of teams, but otherwise. . .

[Toby Puttzinski]

I believe that it was intended to be first come first served, but don't quote me on that... literally.
Chris, can you clarify?
Have you tried to join a team unsucessfully?


Having a competition for roster spots wouldn't seem fair to me, as that would make it difficult for lesser skilled players to earn a spot on a team...
I believe that it was meant to be all inclusive, like Oregon tdg--for players of all levels... I hope that you're able to get onto a team-- what is your home course?

We should remember that this is a 'trial run'.

How were the Oregon teams formed?

[olydiscgolf]

Yes, the teams are picked. Its a handicapped league so the best player doesn't always win. Its a first come first served basis.

Contact me and I can set you up with a captain.

Chris Gilberts

[REDFIVE]

How many spots are available? I wish I could commit to the full schedule. Best of luck.

[olydiscgolf]

There will be 9 spots on each of 6 teams. The teams that will be represented will be: Terrace creek, White River, Steilly, Yauger, MCDG (Shelton), NAD Park.

Each team will need at least 6 members at each of 6 events. If you divide the number of events by the number of members of each team you will find you only need to be able to commit to 4 events to participate.

Stay tuned for the full disclosure of WA TEAM DISC GOLF rules. Its not quite ready yet, but I had a good meeting with Eric Lund tonight, and we're getting the details figured out.

If anybody has questions, please ask, Im happy to answer!

Why have only one team per course? Couldn't you have a Terrace 1 and Terrace 2, as long as there is enough interest? Everyone who is interested gets to play and you eliminate the "who gets in" question. Everything works, as long as you have an even number of teams.

[olydiscgolf]

I am limiting the number of teams for a couple of reasons. This is the first year for TDG, I am looking to build the future on the foundation that is set this year. By keeping it small it makes it easier to get a feel for how things will work.

At this point, there isn't a "who gets in question" we still have spots available. Even at Terrace.

[Ode]

this is exactly what me and kilmer were discussing and he thinks its more fair to have to earn a spot then be picked. im not sure if its a gross overestimation of the available people from steily, but if we have way too many that want on, im not sure whats the best system to use

[papatart]

Hey Chris,

Keep up the good work on this. I have been saying for a long time that it seems like the Oregon folks have a great thing going with their team thing. Seems like it could be a lot of fun.

As for team formation, I think everyone has to deal with the fact that the first time around there will be 6 teams of nine people and that is a great start. If more teams want in then try it next year, but get the ball rolling simply to start and work out the kinks. How are the teams formed? Seems like as in any kind of bring your team sport, that will be up to the captain of each team to decide how to best form the team. I know I have thrown my name at the West Sound captain in hopes that I may be picked, but if the captain decides to go another direction then so be it. Although I must say that at that point I may try the free agent market........

Hope to be playing in this and again, way to go Chris for getting it started!

Later,
Scott Papa

["Over the Hill" Bob]

How teams are formed? For us sometimes it is a matter of 7 friends that talk about it and form a team. Other times, as in my case, someone wants to form a team, a messege is sent, several others send messeges, and BAM, we have a team. I really didn't even know the other people other than having met them maybe a couple of times at a course and now we are a Team and friends for life.

Some teams try to recruit the best players they can get and for others skill really isn't a factor. Remember, it's handicapped so anybody has a chance at winning a match. As bad as I am, I've taken down some pretty darn good players. (hard to overcome someone that starts with 20+ strokes on you :D)

The MOST important thing to remember as you move forward is that the key to Team Golf is FUN. Keep it fun and you won't regret it.

Keep it going guys, I'm excited to see you all working so hard to have Team Golf in WA. :rockon:

:rolleyes2::laughing::bricks:

Earn your way onto the team????

Cmon guys really??

This is TDG not the USDGC :shocked::rockon::cheerleader:

best system is to have an even # of teams other than that, there is no need for a team of 1000 rated players.....as they will lose most of the time anyway.....:shocked::slapface:

Just have fun with this run it off the Or. system it has been a work in progress for over 10 years. It is a lot of fun and keeps ya discing thru the winter.....:D:trophy:


as for making teams per park that was used down here and it doesnt work that way really. Just make up teams who cares where 1's "Home" course is....

JUST HUK IT :nahnah::rockon:

Hey Scott we still have room on team Terrace! :shocked:

[JR Stengele]

Hey Tom,

Toby tell you I am in for Terrace? Cause if not, coun't me in!:cheers:

[Tim]

I'm in for Terrace as well, so long as I don't have too many weddings to attend. :whistler:

[JR Stengele]

I'm in for Terrace as well, so long as I don't have too many weddings to attend. :whistler:

Nice!

[sillybizz]

Awesome boys, sounds good.

We still have three spots left for Terrace Creek/Seattle area team.

[olydiscgolf]

Awesome boys, sounds good.

We still have three spots left for Terrace Creek/Seattle area team.

Make that Two spots available. Dan Major is interested.Silly, if you could get in contact with him.

[LakeStevensBA]

Olydiscgolf dude,

Do you already have all the teams you are accepting? Can I captain a team representing Lake Stevens? We bring beer to events if that helps....

:chug:
Brian

[JR Stengele]

Join us BA! We would love to have ya.

[kokaneeninja]

I would totally play for Lake Stevens, it is after all the BEST course EVER!!!

[LakeStevensBA]

Join us BA! We would love to have ya.

John, it's not too late to make the jump from MLT to LS. Come on man....

[olydiscgolf]

Olydiscgolf dude,

Do you already have all the teams you are accepting? Can I captain a team representing Lake Stevens? We bring beer to events if that helps....

:chug:
Brian

As enticing as your offer of beer is. We do already have the maximum number of teams we are excepting.

Thomas, AKA Sillybiz on this forum, is the captain for Terrace/Lakewood. Get in touch with him. Last check there was two spots available for that team.
If there isn't room there, let me know and Ill put you in contact with another captain.

[JasonVP]

This sounds like a blast dude its just to bad i live so far away from all of these courses. Maybe after your first year you can let poeple bring their own team i know i could get 9 guys to do this no prob. If this all works out count my team in for sure next year.

[olydiscgolf]

Thanks Jason, that is exactly the response Im looking for.

[SPIDER-DAN]

Hey chris

how many people do we have on the steilly team so far?

[olydiscgolf]

Hey chris

how many people do we have on the steilly team so far?

Chase Killen is the Captain, he is ODE on this forum. You will have to check with him as far as the updated roster goes.

[Yardbird]

Chris,

Have you decided which day of the weekend that we will be playing? Sat or Sun.

I am hoping for Saturdays, but it is your decision.



To All,

It is highly unlikely that the West Sound (NAD Park) would release Papa to the free agent market. I might be the captain, but we need our Coach. Let the games begin. :shooting:

Sam

[olydiscgolf]

Im shooting for Sundays myself, but the captains will have the final say in which day they choose for "their" event.

[sillybizz]

John, it's not too late to make the jump from MLT to LS. Come on man....

Damn Brian first you are putting voodoo curses on all of my Buzzz's and now you're trying to steal players away from my team? :nono: :shocked:

That's cold brother, we'll settle this later on at Stevens. grrr. :wink2: :rockon: dude.

[JR Stengele]

Maybe next year BA. Maybe next year.

You going to join us BA?

Tom, wouldn't we then be representing Team Seattle since we are Lakewood/Terrace? Although you do have two from Mukilteo ( Really one, Toby is a wannabe Muk boy). I vote for Saturdays since we would be traveling back and forth. Just my two cents. Also, have you spoke with Holly or Andrew?

[sillybizz]

I'm technically from Everett, shhhh don't tell. Saturdays are better for me too. I have sent messages to Andrew and haven't received any response which is really weird, he usually gets back to me, hmmm. I don't know how to get a hold of Aaron Holley, if you have contact info for him please message it to me and I'll do my best, as far as BA goes he is welcome on my team, in my group, at my dinner table or in my family I love that guy, Brian if you want in, HURRY UP! hehehe.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Yeah, BA, do it... we'll do a one year contract since you're in the twilight of your career... then you'll have the option to sign a free-agent contract with the Lake Stevens Lumberjax next year.

I'll shoot Aaron a text to see if he's interested in joining--

[JR Stengele]

Good idea OB one and me.

[JR Stengele]

Wow Tom, would you trust him with your sister too?

BA is a must if he will grace us with his presence.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Jason or BA, if either one of you decide to join the Terrace Squad, JR and I live just off of the Mukilteo Speedway, so you could park at my place and carpool with us...

[sillybizz]

There are two spots left, we could snag both Van Proyen brothers!

[sillybizz]

Wow Tom, would you trust him with your sister too?

BA is a must if he will grace us with his presence.

um no. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

When Brian try's to bring this: :kissflowers:

He gets this: :shooting::shooting::shooting::shooting::shooting:

lol. :seeya: BA :jumpspin:

[JR Stengele]

Classic! And yes, the Van Proyens are always welcome. They seem to always be around when I get an ace.

[kokaneeninja]

Wow Tom, would you trust him with your sister too?

At least not after the birdie bottle right??? :nahnah:

[GettinBetter]

Does anyone know how many people are on the White River team yet. I haven't heard from Brandon yet. Im just wondering because it seems like spots are filling up pretty fast, but maybe it just seems that way.

[JasonVP]

Sounds fun I'm down tom. Team terrace one year deal.

[JasonVP]

As long as we DON'T play lake Stevens. After the way I played at the 9 the other day I don't think my ego could take another round like that.

[LakeStevensBA]

Tom,
If there is still room, put me down too. With all that love (because I bring beer) from you, John and Toby, how could I say no?

thanks,
Brian Birdie Bottle

[sillybizz]

People are beating down my door to get in! I'm waiting on another guy who asked first, he hasn't responded yet and if he doesn't want in, then I'll let you(Brian) and Jason fight over the last spot otherwise guys I'm very very sorry but our team has filled in the blink of an eye!

[sillybizz]

If anyone wants in for team disc golf, contact Chris Gilberts and we will put you in touch with a Captain, sorry to everyone who wanted in with team Terrace.

[JR Stengele]

Who did we ask first. That might settle it. BTW, who is actually on our team thus far Tom?

[sillybizz]

Team Terrace is full and here is the roster:

Toby Cheff
John Stengele
Dan Major
Tim Coye
Michael Grossman
Andrew Rivers
Sheila Teves
Kyle Sutherland
Thomas Little

[JasonVP]

Hey what happened to the whole there's only one spot left and me and BA were gonna have to fight for it? I was looking forward to practicing me mma on him.

[kokaneeninja]

Hey what happened to the whole there's only one spot left and me and BA were gonna have to fight for it? I was looking forward to practicing me mma on him.
Ha they must of heard about your amazing play at Hwy 9 and changed their minds... Remember Tom was there, he saw the hot round you played at Lake Stevens!!!

[sillybizz]

OUCH That's cold Sam.... :laughing: sorry Jason... :laughing:

[JasonVP]

I had to much birdie bottle the night befor and that's my excuss. But hey don't hate too much put on a normal basket and I played well.

[LakeStevensBA]

Jason played the Highway 9? I didn't know that. When I looked at the scoreboard I didn't see his name. I guess I didn't look down low enough....

[JasonVP]

Haters all I wanna do is golf man. Hey any other team need an ok golfer let me know.

[DMajor]

Looks like a fun team

[The Ombudsman]

Looks like a fun team

You and I are the walking wounded, Dan!
Between your shoulder and my knee, we should be called 'The March of Dimes' golf team!

[olydiscgolf]

Welcome to Washington Team Disc Golf! Thanks everybody for the input and volunteering to help. Thanks to Eric Lund for figuring out handicaps and the conversation that took place in a car ride to PA that got the ball rolling! Thanks to Jordan and OR TDG, I appreciate the info.
The idea for TDG is FUN! Let me say that again, the idea for TDG is FUN! That being said, we will be competing for cash and for prizes. This being the inaugural year, I am keeping the league small, 6 teams. I need to make sure that we can run it right and build on a solid foundation for the future!
There will be a total of 6 events, 6 courses, and 6 teams. Each team will play every team once. There will be a final tournament pairing 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. The league will start in January and run every other weekend for 6 events. Handicaps will be calculated for every event.
COURSES
6 teams will each represent a "home" course. The home courses are (Yauger, Shelton, Steilly, NAD, White River, and Terrace). Each team will host one event at their course. The “host team” will decide on the course layout, and be responsible for making sure the course is ready to play. The “Host” is responsible for any special rules regarding course. There will be NO TWO METER RULE.

TEAMS and PLAYERS
Each team would have at least 6, but no more than 9 members on the roster. There are no division restrictions or guidelines for a team, although a mixed team of AM’s, Women, and Pro’s would be preferred. Only 6 members need to be present at each event, but teams will receive bonus points for playing more than 6 players per match. Team members need not play for their “home” course. Players won’t be allowed to switch teams. Rosters must be turned in at the first event. A team must field all of their singles matches before their doubles matches.

EVENT FORMAT
Each event would match two teams against each other for two rounds. The format for each round will be 4 matches of handicapped singles and one match of handicapped doubles. A team must fill their singles matches before they can field a doubles team.
One team would be designated “Home” team and one the “Away”. The first round, the home team will turn in their roster to the away team, the away team would then determine the matchups for that round. The second round, the away team turns in their roster for the home team to determine matchups. The winners of each match will earn one point for their team. Any match ending in a tie will award ½ point to each team.



HANDICAPPING
We will be using the PDGA system to determine player ratings; we will use course SSA, existing PDGA player ratings, and TDG player ratings to determine handicaps. Handicaps will be calculated after the first event. These handicaps will be updated before every event. The system used for determining handicap will be as follows; (PDGA rating+ rating of first round + rating for second round) divided by three. Those players without PDGA ratings will use (first two rounds of TDG) divided by two. After each event, the new rated rounds will be added with all previous rated rounds and divided by number of rated rounds. The first event’s winners will not be decided until after the 4th event.


COST
Each team will “buy” in to the league at the beginning of the season. Cost will be $90 per team. This breaks down to $10 per player (9).

POINTS
One point will be awarded to the winner of each matchup. A bonus point will be awarded to the team that scores the most points during the match. Another bonus point will be awarded to teams for playing more than 6 members per match. In case of a tie, ½ point will be given to each team.
PAYOUT
End of Season payouts for Teams and individual accomplishments based on points won throughout the season.

#1 V #2

[JR Stengele]

Everything makes sense and looks great. Question. I noticed that some teams played the home team once, Terrace plays a home team twice, and NAD/MCDG doesn't play a home team at all. Shouldn't everyone play at least one home team once to make things more fair? Seems Terrace would be at a disadvantage to a certain extent. Just a thought.

[olydiscgolf]

If you can figure out a schedule to make everybody be the home team and the away team the same amount and have everybody play against a host team let me know. I've run the numbers as much as I can, and this was the most fair I could make it. I actually put it into an on line schedule maker and ran it 3 different times to get everybody to be home and away. Let me know if you can find a formula thats more fair.

[JR Stengele]

Week 1) 1v2,3v4,5v6
Week 2) 1v6,2v3,4v5
Week 3) 1v5,2v4,3v6
Week 4) 1v4,2v6,3v5
Week 5) 1v3,2v5,4v6
Week 6) #1team vs. #2 team

You can fill in who is what # and what one team doesn't play a home team. Either way, now 5 teams play one home team and one team doesn't. Hope this helps and thanks for all your efforts.

[olydiscgolf]

It looks great, which team is the home team and which is the away?

[DMajor]

You and I are the walking wounded, Dan!
Between your shoulder and my knee, we should be called 'The March of Dimes' golf team!

I took some time off and adjusted my throw to be a little easier on my shoulder and I have put some more understable plastic in the bag. My shoulder is feeling better every week and should be stronger than ever by Jan. We will have to do some carpooling.

The rules and dates all look good for the TDG. I haven't been to NAD, Yauger, or Shelton to play so this will give me a good reason to finally get down there and check em out.

[GettinBetter]

Im really looking forward to this and if anyone needs help with anything please just ask.

Yeah you looked much more comfortable when we played the other day. But...........if you need a fill in I'm game if the others can use a mediocre player:)

[DMajor]

That would be cool. I thought you would have been already signed up before it filled.

Are all the other teams full yet?

I believe the saying goes: "Ye who waits masturbates"

[olydiscgolf]

As far as I know, the only teams that are full, are Shelton and Terrace. Team Oly is pretty close, just waiting for confirmation. If anybody is looking for a team, I can put you in touch with the captains.

Chris

[DMajor]

There you go Bill. You should hop on one of the other teams. We will all be going to the same place those days anyway.

[LJ Jubner]

I was thinkin about your little escapade. Why limit the number of players any team can choose from? Say Terrace has 15 people who want to play for "the Terrace Creeps, Smelly Steilli Rats, White River Kemists, The NAD's" but only 10 get to play. Let them compete during the off time to see who plays for the team that week. It's not like you would need to surpervise all of them. Thats why you have captins right. The rule might be if you play more than once "offically for any team" you can't switch teams. Plus it allows for a player pool so every week everyone plays.
Jordy's had the problem of players signing up to play 10 weeks but only played 3 Their team forfited match points each week and worst of all their opponent got stiffed.

Now the teams 10 players 5 Varsity, 3 Open (930>) one Master one Lady,
5 JV 3 Adv/ Adv Master one Am one lady

Not everyone has the time to do playoffs and such between weeks. Sounds like we should just stick to what we have for now and look into something more in depth next year if this doesn't work. We should keep it simple. Especially since only two teams are full at this point.

[sillybizz]

agreed.

[LJ Jubner]

It's not just about team playoffs/competition it's about fielding the best or full team everytime and the fact players can't play every time proves this makes even more sense.

[olydiscgolf]

Hey Jub, I think the bottom line here is limiting the number of players per team. There will be enough stats to keep track of without having 15 different people playing for a team. It will keep the handicaps more true if less players play more rounds. We'll try it this way this year and see how it works. Thanks for the thoughts.

[Lund]

It's not just about team playoffs/competition it's about fielding the best or full team everytime and the fact players can't play every time proves this makes even more sense.

I have a very different opinion about this. Though I have not been a part of any TDG, from what I have seen or heard it is all about the team and sometimes very little about fielding the "best." There is an interest in getting at least a few folks out there who dont have a ton if any experience with disc golf competition, while using a handicapping format that levels the playing field so to speak. Also there is the hope that there might even be some players who will be getting to check out new courses for the first time. For others still it is a chance to play in a competitive environment in the winter during conditions that not everyone wants to play in during even more formalized or sanctioned settings.

During this innaugural season there is interest in somewhat limiting the field for a few reasons among which are trying to contain the season during a manageable window (in this case roughly 6 events over 12 weeks). Also, allowing for several alternate players per team could mean that each person might only have to play 4 of the 6 events. The thought is that this would increase the chances of fielding full teams each week.

Not to mention that all in all this is still a considerable undertaking for both players and organizers.

In Oregon where TDG is getting pretty huge after a few seasons there are a lot of participants who are lower rated (or non rated) players. I would suggest that adding competitions just to see who plays would really discourage potential newbies and perhaps even change the feel of the experience that we are after.

Anyway that's how I see it....

[Lund]

Also what Chris just said.

[JR Stengele]

It's not just about team playoffs/competition it's about fielding the best or full team everytime and the fact players can't play every time proves this makes even more sense.

Some of us have priorities outside dg and so it makes it tough to spend time with family and continue schooling/work. I will be playing most if not all the events for our league I just don't have time to focus only on dg. I appreciate the thought and thanks for looking out for us up here in WA.

[Yardbird]

And finally a series of one day events...........

One day of disc golfing and another day to spend with the family.

[thebakedone]

As far as I know, the only teams that are full, are Shelton and Terrace. Team Oly is pretty close, just waiting for confirmation. If anybody is looking for a team, I can put you in touch with the captains.

Chris

Huh,

Hell yeah I'd play for team Oly if you'd take me but I have very little experience at Yauger, only been there once.

[LJ Jubner]

Handicaps are great but why bother just send out your #1-5 players against their #1-5 and see how it goes straight up. Personally I would trot out my #5 against their #1 sacrifice one match to win the 4 others. but that's just me. Question: Is Terrace a throw in? All the other teams are Auburn south. Why not have a "county team" then?

[Scott]

It depends on what your vision of team golf is. It sounds as if yours is more competitive; only the best players get to be on a team. The Oregon model is meant to be more inclusive; everybody is invited to play and everyone has a chance to win.

[Tim]

As to the Terrace thing, I'd say the team is more the Seattle area in general, but for some reason, there isn't a lot of online representation of LW/Tac/NP, even though those courses get more action. Since Terrace seems to have the most active online members, I'd say it just kind of defaulted to us.

[cefire]

Handicaps are great but why bother just send out your #1-5 players against their #1-5 and see how it goes straight up. Personally I would trot out my #5 against their #1 sacrifice one match to win the 4 others. but that's just me.

Why, because this is about FUN (see first post :headbang:). At least with handicaps, all of the matches will usually be close rather than a 980 going up against a 910 - that to me does not sound like fun.

I think its all laid out pretty clearly and is consistent about the goal to be having fun rather than cut-throat competition. The handicap idea is consistent with this but having to play off for spots would pretty much negate the whole idea of what I think is captured in a FUN team event like this.

Being the test run season, I like the idea of starting small and working out problems as we go. That said, I think we should all prepare for a few 'bumps' during this season and roll with them...

Great job so far, looking forward to it!

[olydiscgolf]

It certainly wasn't by default Terrace was chosen, it was an off target throw of a dart! JK Terrace was at the top of the list, not only for their forum presence, but the long (well not that long) running rivalry between Team Oly and Terrace!

I can try to keep up with them ON the golf course, but when Thor gets his hands on the Vodka, watch out!

[Tim]

Hahah, and ironically, I'm the only one on the team from those earlier rivalries. That's all right, I'm sure Sheila can pick up with the vodka guzzling/disc golfing legacy that Thor's left behind. :D

That's all right, I'm sure Sheila can pick up with the vodka guzzling/disc golfing legacy that Thor's left behind.
I totally want to see this!!! Does she have a secret heart full of hate too??? HA HAHA

Oh and Chris we up here at Terrace only drink to try and play down to team oly's level, get a few shots in us and we play like you guys!!!

[LakeStevensBA]

Hahah, and ironically, I'm the only one on the team from those earlier rivalries. That's all right, I'm sure Sheila can pick up with the vodka guzzling/disc golfing legacy that Thor's left behind. :D

HA! Another reason Team Lake Stevens needs in for next year's season. We can out-vodka, out-tequila, and out-malt liquor most teams. It's the advantage of being located in rural Snohomish county.

Not to mention, a lip full of chew! :laughing:

I like that we have smack talkin' cheerleaders.

I think that an "infused" showdown between Terrace and Lake Stevens would be entertaining, though I'd have to sit on the sidelines, I think. I guess being a King Co. resident, one sip of Bartles & James sends my disc golf game (such as it is) straight into the schule.

I can't speak for our whole team, But I'd put Ronnie B. against your WHOLE team! The guy just doesn't get full!

I love the team name! "hold my beer while I kiss your girlfriend"

Reminds me of a friend who once told a bouncer at closing time "you'd better grow some muscles if your gonna take my beer"!

[sillybizz]

Why, because this is about FUN (see first post :headbang:). At least with handicaps, all of the matches will usually be close rather than a 980 going up against a 910 - that to me does not sound like fun.

I think its all laid out pretty clearly and is consistent about the goal to be having fun rather than cut-throat competition. The handicap idea is consistent with this but having to play off for spots would pretty much negate the whole idea of what I think is captured in a FUN team event like this.

This whole thread is waaaaay out of control, MODS! :cop: :laughing:

If we have to play off for spots for the team, I don't think the captain of team Terrace could keep up (yeah that's me :shocked:) as I suck. :headbang::wink2::laughing::bricks:

Being that we will be paying 1/12 of what I pay in every year for fantasy football It's going to be pretty casual, heck even my fantasy league is casual for a whole lot more money.

Andrew, don't worry about Jub, he just needs something to complain about (see you at dubs on sunday Jub, yes I said SUNDAY) or he will go crazy. :laughing:

"I shanked my drive but birdied my drunken stuper."

[Kenny B]

TEAMS and PLAYERS
Each team would have at least 6, but no more than 9 members on the roster. There are no division restrictions or guidelines for a team, although a mixed team of AM’s, Women, and Pro’s would be preferred. Only 6 members need to be present at each event, but teams will receive bonus points for playing more than 6 players per match. Team members need not play for their “home” course. Players won’t be allowed to switch teams. Rosters must be turned in at the first event. A team must field all of their singles matches before their doubles matches.

POINTS
One point will be awarded to the winner of each matchup. A bonus point will be awarded to the team that scores the most points during the match. Another bonus point will be awarded to teams for playing more than 6 members per match. In case of a tie, ½ point will be given to each team.

Thanks for starting this Chris; I think it's a great idea. I had a couple questions...

When awarding bonus points for more than six players per match are we talking about substitutions between rounds? That is, if a team plays players 1-6 during round one and then players 1-3 and 7, 8, 9 (that's why 6 is afraid of 7 by the way :laughing: ) during the second round, does that team get 1 extra point for the day? Or does the team have to play a total of 7, 8, or 9 players during both rounds to get the point?

Also, is the "most points" bonus point awarded prior to or after awarding any "additional players" bonus points? And if there's a tie for most points, do all teams tied get a "most points" bonus point?

[The Ombudsman]

"I shanked my drive but birdied my drunken stuper."

[sillybizz]

"I shanked my drive but birdied my drunken stuper."

?

I stole my signature from Chris Waugh (AKA RedFive) in his rant about one of his home courses and I thought it was pretty funny. The fact remains that I am a non smoker(anything) and a non drinker (usually) just thought it was a funny post, here is the original:

Thanks Ed, I wouldn't consider sea tac a home course, I guess I am pretty familiar with it but I only play it maybe 5 times a year max counting tourneys. But steilly is pretty much home away from riverside. Ah riverside, where the locals throw from all directions and the smell of stale beer radiates from the cans thrust into the bushes as if to say, "I shanked my drive but birdied my drunken stuper." The only course that I know ofthat has bleachers for smoking not for spectating, REDFIVE BITCHES!

[DMajor]

Yeah it looked a little conflicting to me.

I never drink while playing as I find the added fun tends to get in my way of continual frustration otherwise known as getting better.

[killa]

Yeah, you won't see a bottle in my hand. Especially when playing.

Mine either... can't risk spilling. That's why I use a CamelBak. :jumpspin:

But in all seriousness now, I looked into the scheduling issue, i.e. who plays a home team how many times, and I found a straightforward fix. By taking Stengele's suggestion the one step further of indicating a host for each week, it becomes:

Jan 3, HOST = Team 1) 1v2,3v4,5v6
Jan 17, HOST = Team 2) 1v6,2v3,4v5
Jan 31, HOST = Team 3) 1v5,2v4,3v6
Feb 14, HOST = Team 4) 1v4,2v6,3v5
Feb 28, HOST = Team 6) 1v3,2v5,4v6
Mar 14, HOST = Team 5) Championship match

In this format, each team has exactly one match against a home team, except Team 5 who never does. This seems fitting, though, because Team 5 also never gets to BE the home team during the "regular season," as they host the championship at the end.

Chris, you can apply this directly to our league simply by matching each week's host in your schedule to the Hosts' numbers in the above table, . So:

NAD = 1
White River = 2
MCDG = 3
Oly = 4
Terrace = 6
Steilly = 5

... and then you can adjust the matchups accordingly.

This makes the schedule as fair as possible, without disrupting the hosting assignments that the captains already claimed. If anything here is unclear, please let me know.

P.S. Kudos for setting the dates such that we only miss one day of NFL playoffs. And of course thanks for giving us a great new reason to look forward to Winter!

[TYVEK]

just out of curiosity, why didnt you use oregons rules? they have tried and true rules and guide for team golf that is proven to work. why reinvent the wheel so to speak by doing a different format?

i think it would have been much easier just to use oregons rules and then all we would have to do is form teams. i dont quite understand why all the teams are at the same course either. i might be wrong but i beleive that oregons team golf only has two teams on a course (home team/viisiting team). that im my opinion is a more fun way to go, that way you dont have a tournament atmosphere with all those people. If i was playing in it, i would not want any competitive or tournament atmosphere, i would want it to be more like a casual round. i think that is what oregons is more keyed towards.

their format seems to be more "just for fun" than this format does.

We all play at the same course. It is more of a family atmosphere than a tournament one though.

I too was wondering about trying out new rules. I've been reading through this since the beginning and thought that would just make it harder 1) to get things going with a limited time to prep, and 2) if we were to ever get together for a state vs state thing in the spring. It doesn't hurt to try new things though and if it doesn't work this year you can always change it for next year.

Which specific rules are you speaking of? We are pretty close to what Oregons doing. Certainly close enough to be compatible. We've taken feedback from players and captains and tweaked things to our liking and will continue to do so until we come up with a format that we are happy with.

I'd be happy to go over the specifics of the league if you have questions or feedback. Im much better at answering specific questions than general speak.

This league is designed not only for FUN, its designed to keep competitive golfers on the course over the winter months, and introduce golfers to a new format.

I'm sorry to hear your not getting involved Tyvek, I guess my version of fun is about $1.66 more competitive than yours.

I just want to say thank you for the feedback without trying to be insulting, much appreciated. I want this to be like a casual round as much as possible, more like a social thing as opposed to hard core tournament where people are calling foot faults on you.

I don't understand. So Oregon teams only play two teams on one course and then others are at two different courses? It makes it more social if everyone is playing on the same course, although I feel bad for casual players that don't know team golf is sweeping through their area on that day!

[Yardbird]

I would prefer to have everyone playing the same course the same day. This creates a more social atmosphere and only requires the host club to prep the course once during the TDG season. Also, all TDG players will play the same course in the same conditions and will allow all players to compare their scores with the other players. This might help in match-ups for future events.

As for the casual players, don't forget that TDG is played during the wet/cold winter months and the courses are not that busy. It would be a different story during the summer months. Actually, I don't think it would be problem if a couple casual players were on the course during the TDG event.

In WA TDG; all players will be playing the same course on the same day. The idea to have 6 teams with 6 golfers is so that we will only take up half of a course. Having everybody on the same course promotes the smack talking, and course rivalries that make TDG Fun! There will be plenty of room for casual golfers.

Hey Kyle the schedule looks good, the only part that hasn't been covered yet is the; home team/ away team ratio. I like the idea of everybody playing against a "host" team once, but it's as important that each team be the "home" team and the "away" team as equally as possible.

Oh man, do I feel foolish... somehow I was completely oblivious to the home-away dynamic in every matchup. Now I see how that's another factor that needs to be evened out, as it affects who submits rosters first. Guess I didn't read them rules closely enough.:nono:

i was wrong about teams at different courses. i dont have specifics, i was just wondering why make it harder on yourself organizing this thing by trying and tweaking things instead of just using something that doesnt need tweaking.

When i first hear that you were putting it together i was very excited but, i really dont want to have to pay anything. ANY amount of money put into a "friendly" game will make some people to start to get serious. And that is not my idea of what team golf is about. It should be about people getting together playing and having some food together. so the money aspect is what turned me off to it. the money does take away some of the "fun" in my opinion.

My friend's team probably finished that round 15 strokes off the payout but he did learn some of the basic rules of disc golf.... That was his last doubles tournament

[thebakedone]

So,

What teams are still under capacity? I don't really have a "home" course so as long as I know a few members I'll play for whomever.

As has talked about many times and at great length on this forum, OR TDG plays by every rule except 804.05 A(4). I don't want to play cop.:cop:

But I will call you on a falling putt or foot fault if it happens in my group and I'm paying attention...:pirate:

BTW I am in favor of all the rules that WA TDG plays by. In fact I am leaning towards using the 9 players on a team rule for next year...

There's no need for both groups (OR & WA) to run the exact same thing. This way we can find out what works and what doesn't quicker.

[LJ Jubner]

Dan Did I stoke him or make him throw over? I remember talking about it with all the group on the walk to "your pinned drive"

Disclaimer I did not write any of the rules for DG.

I do know that their is a reason for each and everyone of them. Whether I agree with them or not they are still the rules (thanks Jordy for your insight). I also know without them we are "just a bunch of hippies, throwing plastic at a deer feeder."

Why does there have to be a waiting list? Why not form more teams and have a bigger or two division league? Find another south end team and form 5 more north end squads. It's not like you have to reinvent the wheel.

Well it really doesn't matter what team you play for, you could live in Lynnwood and play for team Shelton if you wanted because everyone plays the same courses the same day so it's still the same amount of travel no matter where you live, I think most people aren't getting that. Some just want to play for their home course and Seatac and Lakewood aren't being represented so Team Terrace really is Team Northend which would explain why there is a waiting list of sorts for our team.

As far as having more teams or divisions, I think Chris has gone over this enough, it is the first year for team golf and it is more of a trial run at this point so we are keeping things simple. I'm sure next year we will have more teams competing.

[Yardbird]

We'll see how this year goes. For next year, I could see us adding two more teams and playing an eight week season. By adding two more teams, the Seattle area could be represented a little more. Yes, this year, the teams do favor the South Sound. But, isn't that where the better players are? :shooting:

As for this year, let's focus on keeping it simple and creating a solid foundation to grow from.

[sillybizz]

Yes, this year, the teams do favor the South Sound. But, isn't that where the better players are?

Sir you just opened a big can of worms. :nono:

[The Ombudsman]

Coach, I hope you don't mind, but I let Art have my roster spot for two cans of Keystone Ice... but they're talls man!

I let Artie have the Space Needle for a sixer and disc to be named later!

[Toby Puttzinski]

I talked to Art, and it looks like he'll be willing to give the spot to whoever wants it for a six-pack of Ranier Ice and 2 double-cheeseburgers with a large fry--extra salt... I told him, "No freaggin way man, that's like three times as much as I sold it to you for, plus 2 double-cheeseburgers and a large fry--extra salt."

[killa]

I saw art at an A.A. meeting tonight! <capitalization omitted purposefully>

[olydiscgolf]

Mona Lisa?

[Toby Puttzinski]

Good news! I just saw Art down at 7-11, and we made a deal so that I could get my roster spot back... it cost me dearly, but I'm sure that it will be well worth it!! Two cheeseburger bites, a sixer Mickeys Ice, and a pack of Winstons.

Buying back my roster spot from Art: $16.87
Playing in the inaugural season of WTDG: Priceless

[olydiscgolf]

I don't know how fair it is to talk about Art when he's not on the forum, but I'm going to do it anyway.

I played in a tourney at Terrace a few years back, while playing in my group, Art downed 8 energy drinks + 2 liters of soda! It didn't even seem to affect him. He then proceded to beat me!

Oh yeah, sorry for the drift...Welcome back Toby!

[sillybizz]

I think the energy drinks of which you speak were cans of Sparks and the two liters of soda was actually rum.

[sillybizz]

Hey Team Terrace members! I sent you guys an email with some attachments, just making sure you got those, I'm not sure if I did it right! lol

[JR Stengele]

Got it, thanks.

[olydiscgolf]

Here is the latest version of WA TDG rules. Thanks to the captains who have given feedback to shape them. One month to go! As always, if there are any questions or feedback regarding these rules, please let me know.


Welcome to Washington Team Disc Golf! Thanks everybody for the input and volunteering to help. Thanks to Eric Lund for figuring out handicaps. Thanks to Jordan and OR TDG, I appreciate the info.
The idea for TDG is FUN! Let me say that again, the idea for TDG is FUN! That being said, we will be competing for bragging rights, trophies and for prizes. This being the inaugural year, I am keeping the league small, 6 teams. I need to make sure that we can run it right and build on a solid foundation for the future!
There will be a total of 6 events, 6 courses, and 6 teams. Each team will play every team once. There will be a final tournament pairing 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6 according to w/l/t record. The league will start in January and run every other weekend for 6 weeks. Handicaps will be calculated for every event.
COURSES
6 teams will each represent a "home" course. The home courses are; Yauger, Shelton, Steilly, NAD, White River, and Terrace. Each team will host one event at their course. The “host team” will decide on the course layout, and be responsible for making sure the course is ready to play. The “Host” is responsible for any special rules regarding course. PDGA rules will apply; there will be NO TWO METER RULE.

TEAMS and PLAYERS
Each team would have at least 6, but no more than 9 members on the roster. There are no division restrictions or guidelines for a team, although a mixed team of AM’s, Women, and Pro’s would be preferred. Only 6 members need to be present at each event, but teams will receive a bonus point for playing all 9 members in an event. Players won’t be allowed to switch teams. Rosters must be turned in at the first event. Any team member may only play in one doubles match per event. In order to compete in the TDG finals, a player must have at least 2 rated rounds.

EVENT FORMAT
Each event would match two teams against each other for two rounds. The format for each round will be 4 matches of handicapped singles and one match of handicapped doubles. There will be no California doubles allowed. All matches will begin with a players meeting at 9:00 a.m.
One team would be designated “Home” team and one the “Away”. The first round, the home team will turn in their roster to the away team, the away team would then determine the matchups for that round. The second round, the away team turns in their roster for the home team to determine matchups. The winners of each match will earn one point for their team. Any match ending in a tie will award ½ point to each team. The team with the most points at the end of the day gets the win for the match.

ACE POT
There will be a voluntary rolling ace pot throughout the series; each participating player must buy in $1.00 for each event. If no aces are hit, the pot will go to a CTP at the finals. The final CTP will be available for everyone that participated in CTP’s throughout the season.

HANDICAPPING
We will be using the PDGA system to determine player ratings; we will use course SSA, existing PDGA player ratings, and TDG player ratings to determine handicaps. Handicaps will be calculated after the first event. These handicaps will be updated before every event. The system used for determining handicap will be as follows; (PDGA rating+ rating of first round + rating for second round) divided by three. Those players without PDGA ratings will use (first two rounds of TDG) divided by two. After each event, the new rated rounds will be added with all previous rated rounds and divided by number of rated rounds. The first match winners will be calculated after the second match. Doubles rounds will not get rated.


COST
Each team will “buy” in to the league at the beginning of the season. Cost will be $90 per team. This breaks down to $10 per player (9).

POINTS
One point will be awarded to the winner of each match. A bonus point will be awarded to teams for playing all 9 team members in an event. In case of a match tie, ½ point will be given to each player. If at the end of the season, 2 or more teams have the same win/loss/tie record total Match Points will be the tiebreaker. If there is still a tie, whichever team won the match during the season determines the winner. If there is still a tie, all present members of the teams will throw a ctp, the closest shot wins.
PAYOUT
End of Season prizes for teams and individual accomplishments based on W/L/T record and points won throughout the season.

Teams Listed first are Home Teams:
All matches will begin at 9:15 A.M. Players meeting at 9:00.

Hey does anyone know when we play in Shelton are we playing poles or is someone supplying baskets?

[olydiscgolf]

Normally, when there is an event in shelton, they bring out at least 9 baskets.

I am pushing for them to bring baskets, and also to play the new course they are working on.

[sillybizz]

That's cool, either way I would be happy, baskets are nice but playing poles would make it interesting. :evilgrin:

[killa]

If they need baskets, I'm sure they could muster a few by appealing on this forum.

[LJ Jubner]

One of the venues does not have baskets. Why is it part of the WA TG then?

[sillybizz]

One of the venues does not have baskets. Why is it part of the WA TG then?

I'm pretty sure that baskets will be provided, my understanding is that for events happening at the course they have baskets for that event just not everyday. I would actually vote that we play on the poles, it would add an additional challenge as well as a fun way to play that most of us don't get to experience very often.

[olydiscgolf]

One of the venues does not have baskets. Why is it part of the WA TG then?

Are you angry Jub? wanna talk about it?

Oh yea, AFTER you've seen Shelton's proposed course's THEN I'll answer you're question about why!

[LJ Jubner]

Hey I was just askin.
If the installation requires a demonstration of benefits before approval I am really all for that.

As long as the course is ready by it's weekend that's cool. If you need ports it is better to ask early.

[desert_heat20]

Tom

You can count me in for Team Terrace if there are still spots

Kyle

[sillybizz]

Tom

Sorry buddy we've been full for a long time now, next time we do this we are going to need two Terrace teams as there have been more than a two dozen people ask to be on the team.

[desert_heat20]

Yeah sorry thats cool

[JR Stengele]

Ummmm no. Baskets are the only way Thomas son unless there are none. :dancing:

[killa]

I think tone poles would be a fun variation, even if only for the retro dynamic. It probably won't happen, but so what if it did? It's not like tone poles make golf less fun*... in fact I'd say just the opposite, especially if the poles are of high quality and particularly resonant. :whistler: They can sound quite lovely.

* fun: the main axiom of TDG for 2010.

[douglaselvis]

I dig the high quality and particularly resonant sound of chains being hit! :biggrin2: They can sound quite lovely.:laughing:

But we'll play 'em all!

Sad you couldn't get on a team Kyle. Spencer and I are going to be taking some pre-Team (or pre-Teen would work) trips over on your side, join us?

Yo Chris, Can we get each of the teams rosters please. It would sure help out to know who is representing who. Here is team Steilys roster.
Captain Chase Killen, Dan Lilley, Mark Kilmer, Bill Winkler, Zac Kreuger, Randy Grimm, Rob Dean, Jamie Garces, Tony Beckett

Power up Biotches!

[TREX]

Shelton will have baskets, anyone who has ever come to our weekly doubles knows we have enough baskets for the 18 hole course at Lake Isabella. No worries. And no we will not be playing on the new course simple because it hasn't been designed yet =]. Good idea though .

[sillybizz]

No Scott Papa on a team? I'm a little disappointed. :(

[killa]

Wouldn't it be bitchin' if everyone had read the <short!> rules before we all get together Sunday morning? It could be agonizingly hard to get things rolling if every couple of minutes some schmuck is asking questions that Chris clearly covered in his final rules post, which you can see here (http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?p=44970). Go ahead, give it a quick once over. You don't want to be "that guy."

Just some friendly wee-hour rhetoric. :)

[cefire]

I call not that guy!

[olydiscgolf]

Its been a long time coming, but it seems its almost here!


Got a call from NAD captain Sam, sounds like the course is going to play as tough as it has ever been! All long pin positions from the blue pads should make for an SSA around 55-56!

After some last minute printing and figuring, I think we have a pretty good hold on things. Thanks for all the feedback from everybody, especially Jordan, Sam, and Lundy, I really appreciate it!

[Trozzle!!!]

I am glad to see that you guys are enjoying your WA version of TDG. This is my 3rd year playing Oregon TDG and I hopw and suggest that you listen to any feedback that Jordan, or any other Oregon TDG player tells you. It is the best thing to happen to winter gol ever if its done right :cheers:

[DMajor]

It's go time

[cefire]

Thanks Chris, everything seemed to run really smoothly and I think NAD dished out an ass-kicking to more than just me :D

[olydiscgolf]

The Blue pads to long pins turned out an SSA of over 56!

[WestsoundBT]

I've put up photos from this mornings round at N.A.D. Yupp, it's heavily weighted to a few groups, but better than nothing. Lighting was great for the forest, but I found that action shots are tough in this sport without getting intrusive. Copy, paste, and enjoy.

Some great pics there! We are working on a google docs worksheet that will be available to everybody to view. This will have all pertinant info for team golf on it...schedule, ratings, points, and w/l/t record.

Google Docs is superior to our Yahoo group in many ways:

No Excel needed
No account needed
One-click access
Edit on-the-fly (for admins)
Only has one requirement: a browser

Ideally, a web page that unifies the Google sheets would be nice, but we could link to them other ways for now.....

Way to go WA, we may be borrowing YOUR efforts for next year!

Hey if you guys are using Google Docs, Google Wave should be an easy step for you, great way for everyone (you want) to collaborate. MCDG uses it quite a bit for different on going projects.

Ok this youtube video is a little nerdy BUT this tool is just what the doctor ordered for communities to plan and organize events, build courses, and so much more and all that is required is internet access.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pgxLaDdQw&feature=related

I'm fairly sure I have 7 invites remaining on my beta account and I believe Kevin has a few as well. So Chris or TreeLove if your interested I can send you and invite. Once you have an invite I think you get your own limited amount of invites.

Actually, we have everything in order as far as scores and handicaps go, we were just waiting on confirmation to use some photos taken from week one at NAD. I just got the confirmation, so we will be online very soon. I will put a link on the forum, and send it to everybody that I have an address for.

I think the 2nd round doubles teams for Team Terrace v. Steilly are flip flopped. Unfortunately, that means we got whupped even more than the current point total shows :waaah:

[sillybizz]

lol, I don't think any member of Team Terrace was playing to their potential at NAD last Sunday, I guess that's my fault, isn't the coach supposed to give a pep talk or something? If I was coach of the Redskins or Raiders I would be fired but I'm more like Jim Mora, I get to keep my job. :rolleyes2:

My handicap should be around 400-450 so I've got some strokes to waste if I need them for next time. :laughing: :headbang:

I'm trying to figure out why I didn't get the match point out of my group of four players?

gregg

The winners of the first match will not be decided until after the second event has been rated. And you get the match point by beating the one player you are playing against, you don't have to beat the whole card. Nice work at NAD Gregg you were like 88 points over your PDGA rating!

[DMajor]

Very nice work on the website Mr. Lund and Mr. Gilberts. I'm glad I have the chance to see that I wasn't the only one who got my ass handed to me by that very tight Bremerton course with lots of trees and hidden baskets.
