Anybody else out there think it's a good idea to start a Northwest Disc Golf News league on the above website?

Because I think it's an awesome idea!





Do it, or else the ninja will get you!

[Scott]

Ryan Gwillim ran a league a couple of years ago. I was thinking about reviving it this year, but there seemed to be little interest.

[Joshua Olmsted]

I'd definitely be down if there was some interest

[runnaman]

Same with me.

[KG_MCDGC]

Count me in.

[Kenny B]

Ryan Gwillim ran a league a couple of years ago. I was thinking about reviving it this year, but there seemed to be little interest.

I'm not familiar with how Ryan organized it, but the website lays out the rules and keeps score automatically. My only question now is whether or not to make the league public or private (which require an invitation code that could be posted here).

I think the cool aspect of the website is that it assigns point values to players on the national tour. You can only "spend" 70 points to get your four golfers. This way everyone won't be just picking the same players as everyone else.

[Chuck Kennedy]

Not sure why they didn't just have a ratings total like 4100 as the max total rating for your four players.

[Kenny B]

Not sure why they didn't just have a ratings total like 4100 as the max total rating for your four players.

That would be a great idea. I hadn't thought of that.

[KG_MCDGC]

My only question now is whether or not to make the league public or private (which require an invitation code that could be posted here).

I think this would weigh on whether or not you wanted it to be a private or public league.

via their website:
$9.99 - Up to 15 players
Great for groups of friends.
Costs less than a new disc!

$19.99 - Up to 100 players
Awesome for local clubs!
Costs less than a really expensive disc!

$39.99 - Unlimited players
Great for city/state clubs or vendors.
Costs less than a small automobile!

Seeing as you would probably not get more than 100 people, but more than 15 (maybe?) you could easily invite people to join. You could keep it free and light-hearted, or ask for some $ to join the league an offset some of the cost and the leftover goes to a pot making for something a little more cut-throat. I'm just spitballing here.

[MOB47]

I signed up and made my picks. It would be cooler if we created a custom league though....

:headbang:Aaaa!:headbang:

I did not see that! Thanks for pointing it out Kevin. I'll rummage around with my friends and see if they want to help front the $.

[gmason1]

Ive already made my picks as well. Id be willing to throw in a couple bucks via paypal to join a NW league for sure. lets get it goin! We got like a couple weeks still

[Rob Hruska]

Not sure why they didn't just have a ratings total like 4100 as the max total rating for your four players.

We originally had it that way, but found that it was a bit easier to do the math when the numbers were under 100.

Adding up 1018 + 1035 + 1011 ... got a little brain-heavy for me (while testing golfer picks); smaller numbers were a bit more down-to-earth.

We're definitely open to suggestions for future tours if more people think that a max rating cap would be easier to work with.

Thanks for signing up and creating a league, guys. Let us know if you have questions or comments.

[Chuck Kennedy]

Since all of the players selected would likely be over 1000 rating, just drop the 1000 and say the total for the rating amounts over 1000 can't exceed 100 for the four players. But maybe that's too much math? The thing is, those who participate in fantasy leagues are typically decent at math and stats.

Really? :headbang:

[Lund]

Really? :headbang:

This does not surprise me at all based on what I have seen when it comes time to add up 2's 3's and 4's at the end of every tournament round.

[Rob Hruska]

Really? :headbang:

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty handy at the maths. But when it came down to it, having everything up around the 1000 area just seemed unnecessary. It's easier to know what your budget is and what kind of players you can target when the numbers are smaller.

I kind of like Chuck's idea, although I think there would be people picking the odd < 1000-rated golfer for the underdog factor. Probably not a very common use case, but we'd like to allow it.

It's still our first go at this, and I can assure you we'll be adjusting things as we learn more about how players like to use the site.

[Kenny B]

I have started a private league on the fantasy disc golf website for Northwest Disc Golf News for those interested. The league's invitation code is HRADLKU4

https://www.playfantasydiscgolf.com/

If you want to send me a buck or two to help with the cost, I'll check out my paypal account to see how I can receive it.

Enjoy!

[Skookum]

Joined... feel good about my picks. You sir are going down.

[Skookum]

Where you at KG?

[Kenny B]

Sweet! We've alredy got people joining. You have to make your picks before the Memorial starts on Wednesday if you want a shot at winning.

The first "tour" is five events:

The Memorial Championship March 2-5
Texas State Championships April 2-3
Alabama State Championship May 14-15
Brent Hambrick Memorial June 4-5
Kansas City Wide Open June 11-12

[Nathan]

Yay. Now I can beat Kenny in yet another disc golf related event. Hahahaha. My team is rock solid.

[Kenny B]

Yes, mini disc golf being the other one.

[nayr]

Kenny, when you created the league, did you make a 15 person league, or a 100 person league? If you made a 15 person league you might want to see if they will let you upgrade it. We're at 10 and I think we have more than 5 more still coming.

Also, if you have a paypal account already, all we need is the email you use to log into said paypal account and we can send you money.

Also (x2), it would be good to have some sort of incentive to keep people involved through the whole season. Have you thought of any sort of payout? I could donate some plastic or something, or maybe try to find someone to sponsor the league? Nothing huge at all, so it would still be just for fun, but something to keep participants' interest piqued enough that they stay involved?

Ah, yes. I forgot to mention that it is a 100 person league. We can also upgrade to unlimited, if necessary.

[KG_MCDGC]

I'm in. I decided to chose an unassuming name, team "Something, something disc golf" ready to roll.

[Bullseye]

Team "Monkey with a Dartboard" in the house!

[Kenny B]

Sorry this took so long...If you want to send me $ to help with the cost of starting the league, you can do so using paypal. Just send it to benj2328@yahoo.com

Thanks

I agree that adding a prize for the winner would be fun and keep people involved. The website rules do stipulate that any prize must be announced prior to the first event and that the prize cannot be based on the number of participants. (i.e. no gambling.) As such, I talked to my wife and she wants to make a donation on behalf of Not For Sale-Kitsap (an organization under the umbrella of Not For Sale, which fights to stop human trafficking and child/slave labor). The donation is Fair Trade Certified chocolate bars to go to the winner of this league.

If anyone else would like to donate prizes, please let me know so that it can be announced prior to the start of the Memorial.

[Hippy007]

I'm in, sounds like fun.

Hippy007
:cool2:

[nayr]

I'll throw in three new discs. You can decide how to disseminate them.

[Kenny B]

I'll throw in three new discs. You can decide how to disseminate them.

Cool! Thanks. I think top three places would work. 1st chooses 1st, etc.

[Rob Hruska]

Hi all,

If you're still thinking about signing up, make sure you do it today! The picks for the Memorial will be locked at midnight (Central time) tonight, and if you don't get your team in by then, you'll miss out completely on points for the Memorial.

Have fun!

[Kenny B]

Yeah! After 2 days, I've got all 4 of my players in the top 10!

[Javajoe]

Fantasy Disc Golf can it get any better?

[Kenny B]

FYI...I got an e-mail today that everyone's players were reset and we only get a bank of 66 points to spend on our players. Good luck on the Texas State Championships.

[ericedge]

Hope everyone's got their players selected for this weekend's event in Texas. The reconfigured bank means you must go in and make new picks this week!

[Kenny B]

Alabama Championships are almost here!

[runnaman]

Don't forget to update your picks since there aren't many people registered for this event.

[nayr]

I received a reminder message from Kenny about the prizes I offered for the top three spots...

I've got three discs up for grabs. 1st place picks first, etc.

177g+ Z Comet - Leverich After Dark stamp - DayGlo Yellow (brand new)
167g DX Destroyer - Rose City Open 2008 stamp - White (brand new, minor storage wear)
172g Z Stalker - stock stamp - Orange (field tested, no-ink! 9.5/10)

When the winners are established, they can email me their addresses and I'll mail them for free.

[tmiller]

Woohoo! The Chain Gang holds on for the win. I'll take the Z comet please.

Thanks again for setting up the league, this was lots of fun. I'm also stoked to be taking home the basket from Gateway but it was great playing against people that I know and have met in person.

Good luck to everyone in season 2. Better bring your "A" game :)

No way to see each others rosters?

Not before an event, but you can see rosters that were used for previous events.

[TreeLove]

I see, thanks.

[tmiller]

The chocolates did arrive Saturday. I've only tried two of the bars so far but they were both really good. The dark chocolate with chiles is an interesting combo. Thanks again Kenny.

Season 2 is only 4 days away, get those picks in.

[Kenny B]

Tonight's your last chance to get your picks in!

[DMajor]

Signed up at the last minute for my first fantasy league ever in any sport!

Nice! Thanks Dan. Looks like there are 44 people in it now!

[DMajor]

Wow, Climo did me dirty with his bum elbow.

I wish you got bonus points for picking the winner on your team and or had a to win selection on your roster. Based on a quick glance at everyone's picks, I'm the only one who had Mcbeth on the roster and he would've been my go to guy.

[Kenny B]

Well, during the BSF and for multiple days after, the fantasy disc golf website said that the King of the Lake was the next event (as opposed to the FSO that was originally listed). Now, the FSO does count! And I didn't change my picks in time! Did anybody else run into this problem, or am I just a slacker?!? :pullhair:

I changed my picks - but two of them (both were on the prereg list) are not playing. Doh. Injury to Crabtree I read, but where's Nate Sexton?! :headbang:

Yeah that has happened to me twice in a row - my picks are not playing. It'd be nice if the setup gave you your top two of four or four of six or something. It's not like espn is updating the active players 30 minutes before hand.

[tmiller]

Both Crabtree and Sexton were pulled off the pre-reg list as they withdrew. Unfortunately it was on Friday afternoon for Crabtree so you only saw that if you double checked after 3pm or so that day. Sexton was removed around Tuesday. I wouldn't mind seeing a "substitution" option though, or even a "bench" like other fantasy sports, but maybe just one player.

[Kenny B]

Good luck to all in the last event for fantasy disc golf. It should be fun to see who comes out on top!

[Kenny B]

Wow! The Chain Gang comes from behind and takes it again! Congrats to the top three finishers for the 2nd tour of fantasy disc golf.
:trophy::trophy::trophy:
1st - The Chain Gang, 2091
2nd - Jaydee's Disc Jockeys, 2086
3rd - The Gwilliminators, 2085

Please either post here or PM me with your address so I can send your prizes. (except for Tyler, of course, since I've got your address from the 1st tour!!)

Hey Kenny,
If you want to run another NWdiscgolf league again I will kick in a disc for payout or even help out with league fees. I had a great time last year competing with people I actually know and would love to do it again.

[Kenny B]

Thanks for the replies everyone! Sorry I haven't posted again here for a while (yes, I am a slacker:slapface:). Well, I'm back and I'm going to start another fantasy disc golf season for this coming year! I should have the code posted here tomorrow, but start telling your friends that it's coming because it will have an unlimited number of participants.

You can start now by registering at www.playfantasydiscgolf.com

[Kenny B]

A Northwest Disc Golf News fantasy disc golf league has officially been started. The code for joining the league is KB455UUC.

I have decided to not include the Memorial that starts next week in order to allow more time for people to join before the season starts. Currently the Steady Ed Memorial Masters Cup is the first tournament for the season, but it is not 100% sure that this will be the first tournament, so be sure to check back here for updates that will establish the first official tournament.

I want to thank those who have already volunteered to donate some discs for prizes, there will be more information here to follow regarding prizes and to coordinate the donated goods.

If you would like to support with a small donation, you can send money to me via paypal. My e-mail is benj2328@yahoo.com. The set-up cost for this league was reasonable, only $30.

Spread the word and get your friends involved! I'd like to see us get to 100 players!

[hyzerbomb]

I'm in!

[Mr. Anderson]

signed up, thanks kenny, we'll see you Sunday... I'll get some plastic to you for prizes

[tmiller]

I'm in too. Thanks for setting it up Kenny, you've got some paypal cash on the way.

[ericedge]

I decided to start a "Lakewood is Awesome" fantasy league. Open to anyone that cares to join but you'll need the code 53TVPVAV after you sign in. I decided to include all the NT events + available regional events + a couple of others. Please feel free to pass along the code to anyone else you think would like to join this one. Fantasydiscgolf.com (http://playfantasydiscgolf.com/) for all the info.

If you do want to join this one be aware that the Memorial, which starts on Wednesday, is the first event. You'll need to get your picks in by Tuesday midnight if you want to be in the running.

Cheers, Eric

[Kenny B]

Thanks to those that have joined so far and donated to support this league. Here's a bit of info I hope will help encourage more to play. The tournaments we will use will include Majors, NT events, and some local tournaments. Also, a problem with last year's format has been corrected. If you recall, in some tournaments, players may have been injured or maybe did not shown up to an event they were registered for. This led to a lot of people getting zero points for those players. This year the website allows for designating a substitue pick and for your best 'x' number of players to score out of 'y' number of picks. (For example, pick 6 players and score the best 4 of those.) This should prevent players from recording a bad score for a tournament due to unlucky circumstances.

As a reminder the website is www.playfantasydiscgolf.com, and the code for joining the NWDGN league is KB455UUC.

It varies from tourney to tourney and league to league. For the Lakewood League I set it up for 4 Open players, 2 Pro Women & 2 Pro Masters. If you join the league you can see the schedule I picked etc...

If you're playing the NWdgnews league that Kenny set up you've got plenty of time to read all the rules and figure it out. If you're joining the Lakewood league that I put together you've got 10 hours from now to get on board. Either way it's fun and free!

Thanks for signing up HyzerBomb, glad to have you on board.

BTW: I saw on the fantasy golf facebook page that Josh Anthon is apparently injured (knee). I don't know if he withdrew or not but something to consider if you picked him.

Other free leagues I am playing.... Gateway Disc Sports, the "Steady" Ed league, Powergrip (memorial only, awesome 1st prize), nwdiscgolfnews.

Anton was a pick of mine, but didn't realise till to late that he dropped out... :(

Xandor, Let's meet up for a round sometime, I'll let you hold the free blizzard I won by scoring one point more than you ;)

You got me by 11 in the Lakewood league though, nice work. See you at Lunchtime one of these days.

The first event for the fantasy disc golf season is less than two weeks away. The first event is the Steady Ed Memorial Masters Cup. Picks open on May 4th and you'll need to pick 5 Open Men and 2 Open Women, plus one additional Man as a substitute if necessary. Of the 5 men you pick, only the top 4 will be scored for you total. I'm giving 7000 points for the 7 picks (substitute pick doesn't use up any points), for an average of 1000 points per player. As the season progresses, I'd love feedback from everyone about whether or not they feel a good number of points are available to spend.

So you pick players before each event? That's a really good idea. I've played a couple times when you pick at the beginning of the year.. Tough to know who was going to play what except the guys that usually make everything. Made it hard to stay interesting.

Yeah, that's right. No more "team" you hold through the year.

The first fantasy disc golf event is nearing. Don't forget to make your picks! The prizes will be a disc for the top 3 places. Thanks for those that have donated money or discs to help make this possible. Also, thanks to Scott Papa and Hyzer Farm as he will be letting us swap donated discs for ones in his shop. This will allow for the winners to get pretty much any disc they want. Obviously with some retrictions like collectable discs.

[Kenny B]

This is it! Get your picks in!

[Javajoe]

C.C.D.G. fantasy players better have their picks in or else they'll miss out in the steady Ed tournament:chug:

[Kenny B]

I see that about 10 people did not get their points added correctly. I'll find out what's up with that.

[Kenny B]

I recieved this reply from Fantasy Disc Golf. They should have the scoring problem fixed by Saturday.


Hey Kenny,

I think I figured out what's going on - we've got a bug in Pick M /
Score N leagues on tournaments that we re-scored (which, so far, has
only been the Masters Cup).

I'm going to hold off on applying the fix until probably Saturday to
give me a bit of time to test the fix and make sure it works right.

I'll put an announcement on your message board and on FB as well to
let people know what's up. I'll also shoot you an email when I roll
out the fix (probably Saturday evening). Thanks again for the
observation, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Rob

[Kenny B]

Scores have been fixed.

[Mr. Anderson]

Thanks Kenny!

Did I see right and Mr Ninja didn't get his starting lineups for one of the events? Ouch.

No problem Tyler. You have definitely proved you are the master! Who will finally be able to de-throne you?
