GNO '09 April 25th-26th

[Sam]

I noticed that, too! Good thing since it looks like this is the only group playing. :whistler:

[Sean Phillips]

Sean, I noticed they accidentally put you in the Open division! :nahnah:

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

I see they forgot to put you with the masters. :cool:

Sam, I convinced Tom to make this a limited division tournament, open only

[Sam]

Awesome. Enjoy. You all won't mind 120+ casual players who won't let you play through, would ya? :D

[Flatroc]

What is he suppossed to do if one pool ends up with 100 players and the other only 60?:whistler:

This is a good question. :chinscratch:

[Darr]

I noticed that, too! Good thing since it looks like this is the only group playing. :whistler:
That's a lot of Pros, where's the Ams? :cop::whistler::laughing:

[Flatroc]

I am excited to play the GNO this year and am not going to get hung up on silly details that all tournament players should have become accustomed to like pools changing due to field size and registration numbers.


I think everyone who will be playing the GNO is excited.:jumpspin:

Personally if I'm in, I don't care if they shift my pool or not. :biggrin2:

But what about the new player who may not yet be accustomed to some of these silly details.

This talk is only meant to help the cause. :biggrin2:

[LegoRules]

:rockon: 42 open players. Freaking awesome.

42 open players geeze that seems like a lot. Hopefully there is going to be enough FW2s for divison. I know their is at least two of us hopefully more than just Ebee and me made it in. Sure hope the full list gets posted tomorrow it is getting hard to stay patient.

Cindy :)

[RonTheWhip]

Why isn't Nate Sexton on the list? I know he registered him and Colin at the same time...

[Magilla]

DOH, Sounds like a phone call is in order.........:whistler:

Not sure WHAT the issue is with the Reg list online...:eek:

I was on the phone with Tom as he was uploading it to the site.

He said he got the confirmation of 161 players uploaded. :cool:

Unless I am wrong, the ONLY pool switch would be the Pro Grand Masters to the Avanced Pool.

That shouldnt pose to much of an issue.....:chinscratch: unless some were planning on trying to qualify for USDGC. But that is unlikely. :wink2:

:cheers:

The last time I talked to Tom---Nate was on the waiting list---near the top---but still on the waiting list.

[snap7times]

wow, I've seen Nate's registration style, fast and early... and I'll be damned that 160 people beat him to the button, wow...

["Over the Hill" Bob]

[Nate Sexton]

I was told I had a spot if I paid at the OLE by Tom, I registered my brother Colin online the day before to make sure he got in but didn't register myself because I had already made arrangements to pay the next day so I could save on the transaction fee. I paid the exact same time and same way as Andy Hock, I volunteered to serve on the trophy committee for this event and was told by the TD I was definitely in when I handed him the cash. It seems to me this whole thing has been handled poorly and frankly I think it is pretty ridiculous that I am on the waiting list now. I guess I will go to play in Spokane if I have too, and maybe think twice before volunteering with the EDGC again.

I certainly would have signed up on time online, but because I was told I didn't have to I just registered Colin... :pullhair:

[Roller Bob]

Hey Nate. Wait till the final list is posted. If you're not on it, and you're on the top of the wait list, I'll drop out so you can get in. Nobody needs another tired old guy climbing up and down the hills of Whistler's taking bogies. I'd rather see a great player out there instead. It would be a real embarrassment to the EDGC if you're not at that tournament. We'll see what has happened and talk at the club meeting next wednesday. I have no idea how registration could have gone so wrong as to not have you on that list. Then again maybe you are on the list since we still haven't seen it. Hold tight and cross your fingers.

[SMOKIN JOE]

i second the motion i'll even caddy for you go nate :cool2:

[SMOKIN JOE]

i believe in a earlier post i committed on just this
wasn't nate last years series champ and co-champ before that let alone one of the best in the state or world but doesn't have a right to a predetermined spot in the tournament
this is suppossed to be a professional disc golf tournament(professional),is it not obvious we need seperate tourneys for the sake of more people playing
this will work out for nate but it shouldn't be like this

Moving to online registration only would certainly solve this problem.

[NWDiscer]

It is a SAD SAD Situation...:whistler:

well sorta some events will really need to be split on diff weekends.

The am's not playing can help with the pro event and the pro's can help on the am weekend...:cheerleader:

A place like :whistler:'s would still fill for both, look at Bowling Green it is a destination tourney 2 diff weekends.

:biggrin2:

Hope to make it back to :whistler:'s soon it has only been 3 years......:headbang::bricks::shocked::blush: :slapface: :angry::mad:

dumb azz

[hyzerbomb]

nate, you can have my spot if you aren't really in. you should wait till the list is posted.

[Magilla]

It SUX that you are NOT on the list IF Tom told you everything would be fine...

BUT what I dont understand is WHY you cant pay a minimal "transaction fee" when your Avg. Winnings are WELL over $300 for the events you play?
:headbang::headbang::headbang:

That said...Im sure that you will get in....Hey, YOU'RE Nate Sexton.
:kissflowers:

:cheers:

[Nate Sexton]

I can and don't mind paying the fee, I was just told I could pay in person and that I would have a spot. I hope I get to play in the event, and I don't feel right taking someone else's spot who registered fair and square. Again, I would have registered the Friday before the OLE...I registered my brother for both the PDGA and the event online that day, but because I trusted what the TD told me I waited until the next day to pay in person.

[Sausage Fingers]

but because I trusted what the TD told me I waited until the next day to pay in person.

Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You f'ed up - you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.:pirate:

[Jim J]

List is up now.

Nate Sexton issue WILL be resolved!

I wouldn't worry about taking any one's spot. There are probably 6 or 7 EDGC members that would drop out to give you a chance to play, and that includes me. There are not many people I would do that for, but you are one I would be happy to let play in my place. Still, I get the feeling, like JJ, that Tom will fix this.

[SMOKIN JOE]

i predict number 163 will prevail,will miss you man:cool2:

[LegoRules]

List is up now.

Nate Sexton issue WILL be resolved!

Crap just two FW2s that is dissapointing.:( Wonder how that is going to work.

Cindy

[Sam]

You will probably be given the choice to play with the Intermediate Men or the Advanced Women. That would be what I would offer this group that is not large enough to constitute a division, anyway.

[Sam]

Wow! Sean Fry got good! Also seems he changed his name to Terry Surrat. :laughing:

I think there might have been some issues with the upload. :D


But this....

That is about as right as right can be. :cheers:

hehe yeah - and Rob Ryan has apparently adopted an alias. Not a very covert one though...

[Sam]

Hey. You leave poor Rod alone! :laughing:

[LegoRules]

Both of those options kinda suck because I was really stoaked to play the whole series FW2, and I belive that Ebee had planned to play all the events FW2 as well. Playing in a different division would cut out a whole events series points. I don't see why they can't just run it so we can get our FW2 points. I have played in pleanty of events where they have let divsions go with only two, and even one. Anyway I guess we will see what happens, and hopefully their will be more FW2s that sign up for the Fling.

:(

[Sam]

There will be more at the fling.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the TD has the option of allowing you to play in a division of 2 according to PDGA tournament standards. Not 100% sure but I believe that that is the case.

This is allowed. It is up to the TD to make the determination however. Hell, we had an MPO division of 2 in November!!!

It has obviously been done before.
2007 GNO had a 2 women division.
2008 Hyzer Pines had a 2 man division and a 1 woman division.
2008 Rose City (Sam?) had a 2 man division.
Should be a no brainer for the TD's to let you ladies have your own division.
:biggrin2:

[Sam]

2008 Rose City (Sam?) had a 2 man division.

I had nothing to do with this decision as Greg Ruhl was the man on registration point. I believe that this was a result of a scheduling mix-up where two Grandmasters showed up at one course and the other showed up at the second course so an executive decision had to be made on the spot.

I don't mind a two-person division. Hell, maybe I could win a tournament if I could find such a division... :whistler:

[Nate Sexton]

I just wanted to take a minute to apologize to Tom and the club for my earlier post, in hindsight I should have dealt with the matter privately instead of airing it out here. With a record setting registration pace miscommunications like this are bound to happen. I got frustrated about not being on the list and let my emotions get the best of me. I know that Tom and the club are doing a great job with the GNO and I hope I will be able to attend. I know how excited I am for this event and Oregon Disc Golf this year and for that reason I can't allow another player to drop out on my behalf because I know how excited you all must be as well. Thanks everyone for the offers. I will register for the Downriver Open in Spokane and keep my fingers crossed hoping I can get a spot in the GNO and ask for a refund. I hope to have fun making the trophies for the GNO with Brianna and again I want to thank Tom and the club for all of their work and apologize for my harsh words.

You are a stand-up young man Nate as well as a hell of a golfer, well played sir!:yay::cheerleader::cheers:

See ya Sunday!:pirate:

Yeah... I'll second those sentiments. Classy, Nate, and very well done. :cheers:

I bet you get in without a problem.

:biggrin2:

Hey thanks guys. I knew it had been done because I have played in a PDGA just last December where their was just two of us, and three PDGAs that only had three. Anyways I will see what Ebee thinks about it, and contact the TDs to see what they think. Otherwise I guess I will be playing in FW1 a year earlier than I had planned. :)

Since the GNO is in a series, you will still be playing in the Intermediate division. Just the two of you. :dancing: So go out and have some fun.:jumpspin:

Again, you will NOT be put into advanced. In the future, there will more players in your division.

Take care

You certainly haven't been the first to air their frustrations on a public forum and I'm certain you won't be the last. On that note, very few have posted an apology afterwards. This takes a different level of maturity and class. The EDGC appreciates you and Brianna as valuble club members and I personally always love to see you at the meetings.
I applaud and commend you for this post. It just proves I was right about you.:dancing: Thank you very much.

There WILL be some shifting of who plays when so that the Pools are balanced.
Does anybody have any info on this?
:biggrin2:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

My biggest fear, and I wake up nights sweating, thinking about this, is that I have to start on hole 14 and finish on 13, climbing THAT hill twice. :slapface:

Welcome to the Advanced Masters division my friend! We ALWAYS get that assignment!:pirate:

[Sam]

I did that once, Bob. Intermediate gets it sometimes, too. Worse than the double climb for me is the fact that my first tee shot of the round is from the TotW. I would much rather approach that one with a few throws under my belt.

[the flogging putter]

Does anybody know the tentative tee/flight schedule yet?

All rosebaggers have to start on 14 :nahnah::kissflowers::dancing:

[mine all mine]

Has there been any thought as to what pin placements will be used? I would guess original, but maybe someone would like to change things up a bit.

[Sam]

Ahem... Yose... you reading? :)

1. short - or long. Doesn't matter. We're at Whistlers'!
2. SOWS11 position - deep right - TOUGH
4. turnover on ridge
6. deep right
7. short? - SOWS11 position
8. SOWS11 position - deep right - TOUGH
10. Classic short - miss that hole - want an ace on it!
11. SOWS11 position - deep right - TOUGH
12. Classic long - left and in the hall of trees
13 and 14 (DON'T CHANGE FROM SOWS11! Hope to play the upper pad at GNO!)
15. Classic over the ridge position
17. Classic short - tough birdie or die hole after some good long holes
18. Classic straight and in the trees

Oh, pretty please? :laughing:

[snap7times]

From what I know from playing GNO last year, I liked
7 in the long
10 in the short *the long provided more bogeys but too few birdies* and it didnt help that we didn't know of the change from friday to saturday's placements and was like WTF when I got on 10 tee saturday morning... So put it on short and let it be pretty...
14 - make everyone throw off the top tee heh...
17. Over the ridge! Make it a tough birdie and par at same time..
19. DO nothing that Sam asks for...

[Flatroc]

Does anybody know the tentative tee/flight schedule yet?

I'm going to guess with the numbers out there that Pro, Advanced Master and Advanced Gr Master will be one pool.:biggrin2:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Extended weather forecast showing showers Th., Fri, Sat. Grrrrrrrrrr! Sure hope it changes between now and then. It'd just be shame to kick off the season with rain. :shooting:Oh well, I'm throwing in the tarp and as long as I stay dry in camp I'm good to go. :wink2:

[mine all mine]

Nice weather would be a plus, this is Oregon though. We had snow out there during the SOWS event a month ago, didn't stick but cold as hell.

Should be a bunch of EDGC members who will be camping on the far side of the park past the boat ramp. A number of us will be going down Thursday to get a good spot, of course there are no bad spots.

Come on now Jim, everyone knows that those camp sites are not where you want to be this weekend. The place to be is up at the group camping area! It's fun! All your friends are there!

There is NO reason to get down there early before say, I show up, and snag all the good spots by the river. These are not the droids you are looking for. Move along.

[Micah]

Anybody headed down Friday am and back on Sunday from the portland area I would like to bum a ride and help pay for gas. post, pm, or call me at five o three 9 seven 0 2o80.

The problem with the group camping area is that they get really mad at you when you stumble through their campsites at 3 AM, blind drunk, knock over their coolers and try to crawl inside their tents.

I found that people who camp along the river are much more forgiving.

Nate's been in for weeks. The fifth PGM signed up recently.

I hope this doesn't come as a shock, but not everything posted on the internet is entirely accurate.

Yes, but how do we know that we can trust this statement? :chinscratch:

I believe you can make your picks as late as Friday, but only those players on the list on Monday are eligible to be picked.

Aw, crap. I guess I had better make my picks then.

[bvdisc]

Matt is correct on that one. If they're not on the list two days ago they can't be picked anyway.

Nothing special. It just means that nobody will get the max points for that week.

How many is a block? DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE ON THURSDAY NIGHT TO GET MY RIVERSIDE SPOT!!:shooting: And keep it down, that's the "quiet" camping zone for all us non-heavy partying, actually sleeping types. :cop:

Wow everybody is just cravin for THAT spot.:laughing: Maybe darr should have a reservation sheet and everyone can sign up!:laughing::cheers:Just kidding sounds like alot of fun.Kinda wanting to go now.Debating weather I should go with my dad to that one tournament down in washington that I can't remember the name of.:slapface:lol. Hope ya'll have fun and hopefully the shirts will actually say Great Nortwest Open.Wait!I mean "Northwest".:laughing:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

It sure would be nice to get an updated players list prior to Friday for Fantasy DG purposes. :whistler:

I don't play "Fantasy DG" so it doesn't matter to me in that respect. BUT, what about "Reality DG"? Shouldn't we be able to see an updated Players List and especially if Pool assignments are changed, be able to have that communicated as well? :cop:

Probably, but life is full of disappointments . . . unless you're someone who has no expectations.

(People with no expectations are never disappointed and often spend their days being pleasantly surprised and often amused by life's twists and turns.)

And no matter what's posted online, pool assignments and players lists are always subject to last minute changes which is why all the players sign in so they can get the latest info.

Eggselent! Smithers, I'm going to need some extra putters.

[mine all mine]

I may have pee'd myself a little looking at that weather forecast! This is gonna be awesome, look forward to seeing all of you at WB baby!!!!

Do my worst eh? Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons."


i love it. every time i look at the weather forecast it gets dryer and warmer. Judging by the two kezi weather jpegs i've uploaded above, the ONE LARGE cloud that was to be covering the sun on sunday is now forecasted to shrink to a smaller cloud that will give way to a larger, more orange sun, with proportionally perfect rays.


"it's all falling into place... eeeegggselent".

If only I could hit the road now! Already packed, and the boss isn't at work today! Jim - if the campsites start filling up today I'm going to need you to do the 3 am drunken tent entry thing a few times and clear some people out.

Speaking of drunken entry - your post inspired me to google "Bill O'Reilly Loofah"....woah! I remember the story but never got that far into the details...not only was he (allegedly) very elaborately describing his imaginary use of a loofah on an unwilling employee, he then started referring to said imaginary loofah as "the felafel thing" whilst apparently using a vibrato device to finish up his business upon himself!

What does this have to do with the GNO? No idea man, but it was a good four minutes of my time and I'm that much closer to throwing off 14!

Drivel, drivel, drivel, drivel,......................drivel..............s orry someone had to do it. Drivel.


Now it is time to drive to Whistler's.

I just heard that all of the riverside camp spots have been taken. Seems there was something posted about reserving these online and they sold out in a matter of minutes. Weird...

Yes, but did we set a record?

[Sam]

Since they have never done online campsite reservations, I am guessing yes.

Y'all believe me, right? No need to drive down to the riverside spots and check it out. You can all just take my word for it because I swear to... uh... crap... now what? :laughing:

Hope everyone going down has a great tourny, and will be ready for the fling. be safe:rockon:

[gwillim]

Anyone got any updates on standings? I'm chomping at the bit here, folks!

How about this, if anyone can take a cell phone pick of the leaderboard and send it to discgolf [at] ryangwillim.com I'd be much appreciative.

[JMan]

No scores posted yet...disappointing

[snap7times]

me and my thumb up.... scores??? i missed the entire nfl draft looking for pdga scores..

[JMan]

Back from 36 at Hornings, still no scores...:seeya:

[gwillim]

They are not going to update scores while the tourney is going on. Since they weren't put up last night, I would not expect to see them until late tonight, or more likely, sometime tomorrow.

Just need to be patient, the anticipation can make it a little more fun.

[discgolforegon]

Here is a score for ya... +35 over... :( oh well i played a couple BAD rounds. :D

Im not sure about the other scores... wish i would read gwillims post about using a cell phone to get a picture... when i was out there... darn it.

[citizens arrest]

I can't believe this, 20 pages on this thread and all the computer savy players playing one of the best courses in or. and no one took a laptop with them to post scores so the injured could know what was going on:(:posting::posting::posting::posting::posting:: posting::posting::posting::shooting::pullhair:

Andrew Rich wins...Stop...Three way tie for second...Stop...Amazing Ace on hole 17 by pregnant woman...Stop...Great weather but cold nights...Stop...Happy discgolfers returning home...Whistler's Bend chains quiet again...Stop.

Whistlers is a long way from internet, and your lucky to use a cell phone without driving home. :( i tried to send twits, but always got no service. :(

[E Smith]

It must be great to be a TD and at the end of a long weekend come home to find out after all of your efforts, you haven't done enough for people who didn't attend the event. How incredibly unprofessional of you not to find some way to post scores the minute they come in.

Maybe some folks who just have to know the scores but may not be able to play (injury or other) should volunteer at the event.

[Magilla]

I look forward to hopefully seeing prompt score updates. :trophy:

:rolleyes2:

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Or maby E. it's that 99% of tourements post scores, even if they have to drive 12 miles to the I-5 grid, and folks who can't or didn't get into the event, but who have family and friends throwing are hoping to learn how folks did. Don't start the haters talk just because folks are used to things over years of conditioning, and draw attention when those things are different. No one is condeming anyone for their hard efforts, we were just hoping to see how family and friends played.

"99%"? "Years of conditioning"? I too am curious but maybe a little more patient. Said nothing about "haters", but you know damn well that Sam doesn't allow nonconfrontation posts on this forum.

Just kidding Sam.

Go Dodgers.

Sorry, I mean 1st. place DODGERS!!!!!!!!

[JMan]

Most tourneys post scores sooner than after the event, been doing it for years, technology.

[LJ Jubner]

I tried to get on the pDGA site earlier and it was down.

[Magilla]

Im sure that Tom will get the scores updated today.:)

I didnt get out of :whistler: until after 8pm last night and they still had to do all the scrip, pack up, etc.

It's nice to have scores updated each round, BUT at :whistler: that is nearly impossible.
MAYBE someone who didnt get in, should have "volunteered" to drive into Roseburg after each Rd and do the updates for the TD...:rolleyes2:

:biggrin2:

[JMan]

No worries, that was the point I was trying to make, that it's cool considering the situation, but that those differences were not the norm.

[LegoRules]

No scores posted yet...disappointing

I for one can wait to see my scores at least. :puke: I am looking forward to seeing how everyone else faired though.

By the way congrates to Ebee and Amber 1 & 2 in FW2. :trophy:

congratulations!

[citizens arrest]

Sorry didn't mean to bring any negative into the thread. Tom is a great friend and TD, just frustrated I had to take myself and jesse out on tuesday, and being the first tourny I've ever had to withdraw from, do to injury, and needless to say it's tough being an armchair QB. I hope everyone had a great time on one of or's best courses and E if u want something really screwed up just let me work on the computer:angel:. Oh and by the way who got in with jesse's and my spots, I'm still waiting for a thank you!

[Greg_R]

I got home at 1:30 this morning and Tom and Teresa were at least an hour behind me (they had to pick up Tom's daughter in Eugene on the way up to Portland). There is ZERO cell or internet service at Whistlers Bend & the concept of free Wifi hotspots has not hit the urban metropolis of Roseburg. As I recall, scores were not updated during the previous GNWO tournaments either.

When the scores are posted, note that the first day was played with a few pins in the long positions (1 round for pro/int and 2 for Adv). On the 2nd day everything was put in the 'easier' positions except hole 10 (stuck lock).

Sorry, if you didn't sign up for the 2010 tourney while you were AT the 2009 tourney then you missed out. This one filled over a year before the tourney would start. Beat THAT record!:pirate:

[Sam]

This was a great event. Thanks to the Eugene Disc Golf Club, Rebecca Duffy (missed ya!), Tom Embree, Cris Bellinger, Teresa Bellinger, Todd Andrews and all of the people who worked on this event to make it as fun as it was.

And here is to next year seeing the Umpqua Disc Golf Club retaking this tournament and putting on an even bigger and better show next year. Gents... please make it so. :cheers:

Are you kidding?? When was the announcement about signing up for the 2010 tournament??

I quote that little joke and take it one step further. Even referencing the incredible sign-up record that was set by said tourney.

I see on the PDGA web site that the deadline for events to be included in the next ratings update is the 5th. Hopefully they will be up by then. Although personally the way my scores ended up I am not sure I want them included in the next update :puke:

According to extensive studies of the Mayan Calendar, 2012 will be the last GNO. After that who knows? Registration will only be taken atop the main sacrificial Temple of Kukulkan at Chichén Itza on the Spring Equinox. Those without access to Mayan computers will be excluded.

[Rebecca]

It's not enough that I had to miss the tournament and I missed all (well most) of your smiling faces. I went to see how everyone did and there are no scores. What's up with that? :laughing::whistler::waaah:

[Flash]

You guys all know who to contact about this and he does not read the boards.

Perhaps you can give him a call to see what is wrong and if he would like some computer support!

[hyzerbomb]

Look for scores to be up around noon on the 30th of April. I also want to thank the aliens who took over my putting in the second round who hit every putt within 35 to 40 feet. I also posted some pix on my discgolfersrus page. Check out the slideshow while waiting for the scores from the GNO 09 event.:yay:

[Dave Pittman]

Bruce you need to keep the aliens on retainer... ;)

We got to see several of those big putts, nice job. :trophy:

[E-ROC]

Personally I think the scores are not up yet because of all the action the TD got those few nights, but what do I know.:cool2: I did not get to make it; just hear about all the grisly details.:pirate:

That makes me think if that had any coloration with the red tent fiasco.:whistler:

[essjay]

Results are up! 2 things I noticed immediately: Nate Sexton is not in the results, and neither is Rachel Benton.

[essjay]

It looks like only the pre-registration list is on there. All of the folks who weren't on the original posting or who got in off the waitlist are missing from the results. Glad to see the round ratings anyway. :cheers:

One question though - Benton won the Adv ladies division and she isn't listed. Will her scores, once they're posted, affect all of the round ratings for our division? I'm a little sketchy on the propogator thing...

[Sam]

That should impact round ratings for his pool.

[Sam]

One question though - Benton won the Adv ladies division and she isn't listed. Will her scores, once they're posted, affect all of the round ratings for our division? I'm a little sketchy on the propogator thing...

I might be mistaken but I don't think that her rating is high enough to be a propogator. I don't think it will affect your division too much.

[essjay]

I'm not certain she has a rating actually - she may not be pdga...

Thanks Sam

[DexterHawk]

Nate Sexton isn't shown on the results... That should push them up a little bit

[Dr. Zaius]

wow. i shot an average of 930 those three rounds. way to stink it up wilbur...

[Sam]

If I had averaged 930, I would have cashed. Alas... 924 for me...

[Magilla]

Nate Sexton isn't shown on the results... That should push them up a little bit

JD Platt, Matt Murphy, Nate Anderson, Rachel Benton..........:chinscratch:

Amber is not on the list either.

Cindy. :)

[Nate Sexton]

I wouldn't worry about these ratings too much, they should change a bit as many people have not been added yet and the pools are not being recognized yet either. The Adv and Pro ratings still match up and we were in different pools playing different layouts at different times so alot of things will still change. Thanks for your work Tom and staff.
Nate

[DexterHawk]

It also looks like the pools weren't split properly... (i.e. Adv who shot on a different course rnd 2 have the same ratings as the pros)

So, long story short... all of your ratings should be different in the official results

[the flogging putter]

I noticed the same thing, in round 2 a par for the A flight should be a higher rated round then a par for the B flight.

[Sam]

Let's hope they go up and not down. :cheers:

[Bullseye]

Let's hope they go up and not down. :cheers:

Hmmm... If my last round rating goes down, it might very well NOT be included. A dilemma indeed.

[OneDarkRebel]

Congrats to all the REBELS! Way to represent good ol' Central Oregon! Wish I would've done better but oh well, next time...I see that everyone who wasn't on the results list earlier was added in. A and B flights still share the same course rating for the 2nd round, I'm sure that will be adjusted at some point. I'm excited for the BSF, but more excited about leaving for Hawaii next week! Gonna try to play some disc there at an Oahu Monthly Tourney, anyone have an HDGA bagtag?
