2011 Season Kicks Off Monday, May 16th!

[Sam]

Yep... starting it a bit earlier this year because... well... I can. :)

Almost everything that you know and love about Lunchtime League will be the same this year with the following exceptions:

1. Ace Pot will not be capped. While this led to issues in the past with regulars not getting in, once this year's Ace Pot exceeds $150, we will do registration not based on first-come, first-served but based on how many weeks you have attended. For example, week 4 of the season we have an ace pot at $164. Those who have attended the previous three weeks will have top priority to enter. Those who have attended two of the previous three will have second priority. Those who have attended one will have next and those who show up for the first time will fill out our field.

2. The church has stated that dinner will be a more regular thing this season than in seasons' past. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to the Greater Portland Bible Church for their continued support of this league as well as disc golf in general.

3. We will cap the field at 80 players and we will be playing two additional holes every week! After playing hole 3 and prior to playing hole 4, we will have two additional holes in the parking lot - a la the Ice Bowl layout. Hole 3a will play towards teepad 9 from the parking lot. Hole 3b will play back towards teepad 4 to an island green surrounded by OB.

As usual, this will be a handicapped league which costs $5 for entry. There will be an optional $1 ace pot. Sign-ups in the beginning of the year will be 5pm-5:30pm with player's meeting at 5:45pm and tee shortly thereafter.

Hit me with your questions and comments.

:cheers:

[whslaxplayer11]

starting earlier in the year but still ending late august as usual right?
Us college kids cant start playing til mid june :( ...coughJacobandLogancough

[Sam]

We will go a little longer in the year, as well. No worries... lots of events for you and Jacob to make.

[whalekillah]

Do i get to use my handicap score from last year?

[David Babuka]

Still 10 best as now you'll have 16 weeks which will leave 6 throw away weeks? I think you should make it 12 or 13 best weeks.

[Sam]

12 best - 3/4ths of the year.
Your handicap for last year will not be used but divisions from last year will determine people's handicaps to start the season this year.

[DGOD! Disc Golf]

Sweet, cant wait! :cheers:

[Jason Philips]

I may actually come out this year and play.

[whalekillah]

ok...I'm still novice then? cool!

I was just wondering if possibly this year there might be separate handicaps for the ladies to start off the season. It seems like we are really completely out of it for the first few sessions because we are assigned basically men's handicaps. For example an advanced man and advanced women are at significantly different levels. Anyway with the number of ladies who have been participating seems like it would make sense.

Cindy :)

[Sam]

Hey Cindy, I will discuss this with Gawain in preparation for the season but for the initial two handicapping weeks, this does seem to make sense. Will get back to ya. :)

[whalekillah]

only 4 more days!!

[Sam]

YEAH BOY!!! Almost completely ready. Must print out some scorecards and sign-up sheets and we are ready to go.

EXCITED! :)

[Hippy007]

yah baby.....


I will have some DGOD discs and be doing tags again....

[whalekillah]

Are there new DGOD!tags yet???

[LegoRules]

Any word on this?

Cindy :)

[Sam]

I totally dropped the ball on this. I will discuss with Gawain tomorrow and we will see what we can do. Spreadsheet might not allow us to do anything like this, after all, but I will check. :)

If a ladies handicap for the first two sessions cannot be added at least maybe the ladies could be assigned the lowest possible men’s handicap. Can't remember what that is, rec or novice maybe. Anyway it would be nice for the ladies to have a chance to cash the first couple of times because the way it is now there really is no chance. Either way I hope to make many of the Lunchtime league events this summer. With my schedule this summer this will probably be the only weekly I make on a regular basis. Thanks you you guys for putting on one of the leauges around :yay:

That's not a bad idea, actually. I think that that is exactly how we will handle it. I didn't think you wanted to play pro, anyway. :)

[chris7graham]

Have fun everyone:rockon:

[Sam]

This starts tonight!

[TreeLove]

Will the site www.lunchtime.us be updated soon?

[Sam]

Yes... sure. I will do that. I promise.

Will you show me how again later? I have forgotten... :blush:

[Sam]

Remembered. Done.

[all2common]

Gonna try to make it up there.

[Sam]

Awesome. That will save me a trip to find you!

[Sam]

Great turnout last night. 58 people showed for week 1 and the weather cooperated nicely.

Harrison Hogan got our first ace of the year - nailing one of the added holes for a nice $50 pick up.

Doug Saulter had the hot round of the night shooting a blistering -9, 33 to set the course record and to win the night taking home $42. Josh Petit shot a -4, 38 to take home $25 and second place. Keith Downing shot an E, 42 to take third and $19. Full results are available on the Yahoo! groups page.

See you next week! Ace pot back to $0.

[DGOD! Disc Golf]

Had a great time Sam, thanks for all your hard work! And captian save a bro... G-man! :bowing:

And who got 4th?:kissflowers:

Week 2. Hope everyone has something left in the tank after RCO! See you out there!

[Sam]

A RULE CHANGE FOR THIS WEEK:

The sidewalk that is out of bounds on hole 4 but was in bounds on hole 3A will be out of bounds for all holes. To be "in", you must clear the sidewalk entirely.

Sam saw a couple people not use the drop zones for the two new holes. told as many as could but not all used them

Hippy007
:cool2:

[Sam]

Will make this clear as well. Thanks.

[LegoRules]

Also there was some confussion as to whether a disc is good if it is leaning on a curb or just touching. I was under the impression that it had to be leaning to be considered good. If it touched the curb it would not be good, but you would take your next shot where it touched. Is this correct?

Cindy :)

[Sam]

The rule:
If the disc is touching the curb it is in.

The test is simple:
If you can slide your disc before it touches the curb, it is out of bounds. If, however, you cannot slide your disc any closer to the curb, it is in-bounds.

And yes... I know that this is harder to interpret... but them's the course rules.

[Sam]

Good turnout. 43 folks. No aces hit. Will post results to the Yahoo group later today.

[whalekillah]

Week 3!! Here we go folks!

[Sam]

Yep! $43 sitting in the ace pot. Should be a nice evening. Come on out!

[whalekillah]

I am proof of that saying about sunshine and a dog's ass! My first win in disc golf singles!

[blu666z]

Nice job Vince! :trophy:

[Sam]

Yep... Vince Epker won. It pays off to play better week after week. CTP was on hole 2. I... uh... got it on my last drive of the day. First run Avenger back on the line next week with an additional CTP to be added, as well.

[Sam]

Odd... I uploaded .html files as taught. They read great when brought up in browser as local file. As online file... No go.

In the meantime...
Now there are .xls files but you need Excel (or some viewer) to see them. Will get the .html issue sorted tomorrow.

Amazingly, those open fine even in Safari on iPad!!!

[chris7graham]

free entry to winner for next year

[Sam]

Ace Pot sitting at $96 before registration tonight. I am thinking we will crest $150.

Will YOU be taking the money home?

Come out tonight for week four of Lunchtime League!

[Sam]

And no one hit the ace... $165 sitting there, now. Looking at going well over $225 next week. And why? 75 PLAYERS SHOWED UP LAST NIGHT!!

That's right... biggest turnout of the year last night led to our first ghost group, as well. I think it went pretty well and we got done golfing with plenty of light left.

Albert Ricker took the big money last night shooting just a -2. How does that work when there four scores that were lower than this? Handicap, baby! All you need to do to win in this league is continue to improve.

The four rounds that were better than Albert's belonged to season leader Shane Johnson (37 - 2nd place, $29), Albert's brother Brian Riley (38 - 10th place, $9), Doug Saulter (39 - 35th place, $0) and Xander Waibel (39 - 20th place, $5). Not to worry... These guys are amassing HUGE handicaps with the smallest among those four being a whopping 6.42 (Brian Riley). Saulter's 8.35 still leads the pack but Shane Johnson gets a real handicap next week at 7.75.

Xander continues to lead the overall but we have a new contender in the top 5, Vince Epker. Vince's solid play this season has moved him into 2nd place. Doug Saulter fell to 3rd. Mike Myers is in 4th and Andy Haskell is in 5th.

Three CTPs were handed out - thanks to Kyle Rakoz, Disc Golf or Die, Xander Waibel for donating. Hole 1 was a bag of goodies DGOD threw together (stickers, mini, etc) - won by Xander. Hole 3B was a bag of goodies I threw together with Xander's aid (towel, woman's small shirt, two minis) - won by Tree Sines. I am sure he will look awesome in that shirt, by the way. Hole 7 was a mini donated by Kyle Rakoz for FORE - won by Mark Gardner.

Year to date we have raised $233 for the Trophy Fund.

Unclaimed Money:
Justin Hiatt $5
Michael Cooksley $4
Jerimie Lankins $5
Jacob Rogers $6
Aaron Kinyon $7
Corey Crocchiolo $4
Dusty Adkins $4
Ben Blechman $4
Ward Stroud $5
Patrick Darr $5
David Smith $5
Vince Epker $5
Robert Byram $6
Michael Gordon $6
Kailyn Cripe $7
Logan Miller $8
Nicholas Johnson $8
Justin Ruljancich $13

[Sam]

Ace Pot sits at $165. If we get 75 people out and 65 add to it, we are looking at $230. Sign-ups from 5-5:45.

New rule: If you bring a $20 bill, you will be charged a $1 administration fee which will be added to the Trophy Fund. Please bring correct change.

Thanks! See ya out there!

[Sam]

Well that ace pot is gone. And just to make sure he took the whole thing home, Xander Waibel hit TWO ACES.

Full write up to come later.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING LUNCHTIME LEAGUE WEEK 8:

On July 4, 2011, Lunchtime League will be taking the week off to celebrate the holiday. We will be back as regularly scheduled for LL action on July 11, 2011.

[Sam]

Week 8 results and YTD are uploaded to the Yahoo! group.

[blu666z]

Is there an updated spreadsheet available?

[Sam]

There will be... Too busy to get that up today.

[blu666z]

no worries. just making sure it wasn't posted and I was missing it. thanks sam.

[Wes Hansen]

Knock knock.

[Sam]

Hey... shouldn't you check with the TD before you just start selling things at their event? :)

Kidding...

YTD file has been uploaded to the Yahoo! group. See ya all tonight.

[LegoRules]

Sam you are right I should not have put it in the Lunchtime leauge section. I am going to move it to buy, sell, tade.

Some interesting Lunchtime League facts from 2011 season:

164 different players have played this season.

5 people have played all 10 weeks this season: Andy Haskell (league leader), Sam Gibson, Matt Anderson, Mat Owens and Ben Gibson.

We are AVERAGING 64.9 players every week.

78 players attended last night, setting a Lunchtime League all-time record for attendance.

The biggest winning $ ever given out to first place was given out last night, finally cresting the $50 mark at $50 exactly.

4 aces have been hit in league play this year, though 2 were by the same guy in the same round. Payouts for the three paying ace pots were $50, $223, $124.

And, oh yeah... the info everyone should be drooling over... The ace pot currently sits at $203 before next week's registration. I am guessing it will be ~$275 next week.

See ya next Monday!

[Sam]

So glad I didn't promote the $203 ace pot. 81 people showed tonight. Yes, that would be one past the limit. How do I turn a former champion away when he is a couple of minutes late - following a weekend at Whistler's? I couldn't. Get there earlier, Babuka!! :)

I will post updated stats soon. At this point, I am waiting on the Excel Master to make sure that the spreadsheet is working correctly with the adjustments made this year. I am pretty sure that I will be winning when Gawain is done with the tweaks. :laughing:

[Sam]

In case you didn't get it, I was kidding about being in the lead... Graham. :rolleyes2:

[chris7graham]

get on the shit homie post the results come on come on:seeya:

[chris7graham]

really not yet slacker....

[Sam]

Chris... you're starting to piss me off today. I would strongly suggest doing us both a favor and experiencing a big healthy bowl of STFU.

Thanks and have a great day.

It's been a couple weeks.

[Wes Hansen]

Thank you.

Thanks for all that you have done this year at league sam hope everyone has a great year see you next week.

[Sam]

Thanks, Chris. Sorry that you won't be able to make it out for the next 6 events... Must be something pretty serious going on... :rolleyes2:

[HarrisonH]

Will the standings be posted again?
It's been a couple weeks.

Pretty please, Sam?

[Wes Hansen]

He did. That's why I said thanks. Check the yahoo group if you don't have the email yet.

I looked for you. You are in 47th place and falling.

[HarrisonH]

He did. That's why I said thanks. Check the yahoo group if you don't have the email yet.

Har har har....

Anyway, like a pro I scrolled to the bottom of the files page and saw it ended on week 9 rather than seeing week 11 on top :slapface:. Thanks for the tip there... Time to warm up for tonight!

[Wes Hansen]

Sam,
I'd be very appreciative if you would post the overall standings.
It would undoubtably make others happy as well.
If you can find the time.....

[Wes Hansen]

AT the risk of a free bowl of soup.....
Hello? Is this thing on?

[Wes Hansen]

I guess I'm the only one interested in the standings....?

[Darr]

I guess I'm the only one interested in the standings....?

Sam is no Stern

[Sam]

Nice.

[blu666z]

Sam is so stern. :nono:

[Sam]

Sam is not inspired to post crap... maybe later.

[Darr]

Nice.

You know I am only messing mith you :)

[Wes Hansen]

Perhaps there's a good reason the scores aren't posted?
After a few dozen posts by Sam on other issues I'd think this one would eventually be addressed.
It's not really an outlandish request to see scores and standings from the last two weeks.
I may be the only one asking here, but I got a few folks on Monday telling me to keep asking!
I understand why they hesitate to ask here....

[Wes Hansen]

Sam,
Figure out the above and we can forget the custom CTP disc you owe me.
You know, the one I didn't get because I am not a girl, so you gave it to GS, who is also not a girl.
Oh, and post the scores and standings.

[Sam]

Those two dyes were separate CTPs. I still owe you a disc... though I do remember giving you a 2008 Augusta Wraith because I wasn't going to throw it and you were drooling...

[Wes Hansen]

I must have misunderstood when I asked about it after you gave GS the disc and you laughed and said that was the disc you just gave him. Then we both chuckled....

Thanks for the Wraith CTP.

Oh... how about those scores and standings? Any chance we'll see them soon?

[Sam]

Yes. I will get them up today (hopefully) as I am home.

Why drag Garrett Shields into this?

[Sam]

Why drag Garrett Shields into this?

:laughing:

Yeah... leave the guy alone. He's getting married this weekend!

[Wes Hansen]

Yes. I will get them up today (hopefully) as I am home.

Something may be wrong with the LL Yahoo Group email notification.
I didn't get an email today telling me new files have been uploaded...?

No worries. I wasn't that hopeful after this long.
I figure time and percentages means that it's bound to happen at some point.
Or not.

I hope the pain in your ass is better. A few of us named it. We're calling it Karma.

[Wes Hansen]

If there are people coming next week that weren't there this week-
Sam gave out some important information.
Please be aware of it without being informed of what it is.

[XandorF]

you keep tellin him wes! i got yo back yo

[Wes Hansen]

Thanks. The Magnum P.I. mustache last week threw me off!
Heard you cowboyed-up for the Ace Race.
BTW- has anyone heard if Sam has posted the scored or standings yet?
I thought he was gonna try to do that yesterday.
Hopefully everything is OK and his ass ache isn't worse.

[XandorF]

sam wont post the scores unless hes in 1st place. so its safe to assume 1 thing. sam is not in first place.

[HarrisonH]

sam wont post the scores unless hes in 1st place. so its safe to assume 1 thing. sam is not in first place.

:D I'd join in the smack talk but somehow I doubt Sam would find that as incentive to post the damn rankings. This is getting ridiculous, really.

[David Babuka]

I like the no posting it makes the strategic players question their target score.

[chris7graham]

......Im not helping this by posting but hmmmm scores please :pullhair::seeya:

[Wes Hansen]

Sam,
I'll shave my head if you post the scores before Noon Friday.

[XandorF]

i like how we talk about moving the sport forward... all over the forum... but this lack of care toward detail and overall laziness when it comes to ORGANIZING disc golf events and leagues is kindof sad. and its not just lunchtime league...

Dear League Organizers,

We greatly appreciate everything you do and have ever done and will do for the disc golfing community. having said that...
youre pissing off the league members. either do the things you SAY youll do, or step down and let someone else do it right. i am saying WE because i have heard the same things from mulitple people and am tired of hearing it. when you SAY you will do something, you should do it. i could care less about the score or standings. i dont like being led on and lied to. on or off the course.

[Sam]

YTD scores uploaded.

To make sure that no one feels led on or lied to, please do not expect me to post scores. Ever. If I do, bonus.

Have a great weekend. See ya on Monday.

X-
That seem's a little harsh.

S-
That seems like a cop-out reply.


TDs at weeklies have a wide range of levels of comittment.
LL by no means has the worst structure....
I feel Sam needed the constant pushing because....
at first he posted relevent info in this thead and posted scorses fairly regularly. As the season progresses- not so much.
And when he seems to have so much time to devote to other issues- then it becomes a problem.


IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED-

SAM POSTED THAT SIGN-UPS CLOSE AT 5:35 THIS MONDAY.

[Sam]

You know what one is supposed to do with food? Just curious....

[Sam]

Sign ups close at 5:35 this week. Will spread the word through the Scene, as well.

[Wes Hansen]

Sam,
I'll shave my head if you post the scores before Noon Friday.


I wonder if....

[blu666z]

You need to borrow some clippers Wes?

[Wes Hansen]

I thought I'd just ask Sam to bring a pair, that way I won't have to do it for a few months!

[Wes Hansen]

You know what one is supposed to do with food? Just curious....

I missed this post earlier. Then I had to give it some thought... and yet....?

I believe food is supposed to be eaten.

However, this seems like thread drift.

[DGOD! Disc Golf]

I thought I'd just ask Sam to bring a pair, that way I won't have to do it for a few months!

I'll bring the clippers Wes... I'll even do the shaving! Rec room 5pm Monday?

[Wes Hansen]

If I do it, will someone come caddie for me at the NAAC?
Serious replies only.

X,

I have no idea who you are... never seen you at my DABNEY DOUBLES - 10 YRS AND COUNTING. I think you don't need to lump all TD's together.

Oh by the way what league are you running in the Portland area, how long have you been throwing it, how many people attend YOUR league, and what are your payouts and finals ?????????? If you don't know how hard it is to run and organize a league... I think you need (as Sam would probably say) STFU!

hi kevin,

i have heard great things about dabney doubles! im a new player who is still trying to figure out the time and travel to get to events around town. sorry for lumping you all together. and trust me someday i wish to organize some disc golfing events of my own. and i hope i can organize events that are fair and fun for all. im sure i will find out how time consuming and difficult it will be.
scott hill- you are an amazing td! keep it up buddy.

in my post i should have put "you are pissing me off" and put it at the end. if you take that part out i wasnt calling out any individuals or even saying that the majority of league organizers are dumb or anything "harsh" i was mainly saying i dont like being led on and lied to. there is no reason for someone to say they will do something when they have no intention of doing it. just ... dont say it. that goes for everything not just disc golf events.

i will not STFU. ever. i care for this sport and the people that play it too much.

i would like to end by saying. i love lunchtime league, and most all leagues i attend. it is a pleasure to play with the people that come out week after week. sam and andy and all of the other organizers that run LL i consider my friends. nothing about that had changed to my knowledge, i apologize to anyone that may have taken wrong meaning from my words, i meant no harm. i love you all.

ill be at the NAAC this weekend and at LL on monday if you want to come talk to me, ill be around.

i just wanted to see that darn PDF so bad... :bricks:

X-
I can't imagine how you felt after seeing the standings.
It must have been heartbreaking to see my name right after yours.
A mere 2 points behind... with an extra week of scores to put up...
Then that ONE POINT week I have to replace....
I don't think you'll be so anxious to see that next update.
(Insert appropriate icon for old guy giving young gun some smack talk.)

[HarrisonH]

Kevin, that seemed unnecessarily harsh. It seems you don't quite know who Xander is...

Anyway, I think the biggest mistake that was made here by Sam was setting a precedent the first half of the season by posting scores consistently, then falling out in the last few weeks, when people start to really care. I know there weren't necessarily promises made, but even in the spirit of good shit talking, the scores should be there for us to see and analyze for any league, and since they need to be updated either way, it makes sense for them to be public.

I believe HH has whittled the bat down to a toothpick. I was reviewing Sam's early season posts and weekly updates and remembering how much I looked forward to seeing them and the standings AND results each week. They set a precedence we came to expect.

Still- I will say that of the weekly tournaments I'm aware of, Sam is definitely one of the top ten TDs.

:p

[blu666z]

Sign ups close at 5:35 this week.

Reminder bump...

[Sam]

Xander starts on hole 7 tonight. Wes starts on hole 6.

See you out there. :)

[Wes Hansen]

6, 7 or 8 all season. I feel the love...

[Sam]

Pffft... you were on 11 or 12 last week. At least gripe about legitimate crap. ;)

[Wes Hansen]

I've been home for WAAAAAAAAAY over an hour and I made two stops and I live farther away.
Is there any reason the scores aren't posted yet? Takes less than ten minutes.
If you post the standings before noon tomorrow I'll shave something else.

[Sam]

But, but...

Are you sure?

[Sam]

Not only are they updated, but I highlighted the rounds that have already been thrown out for people who have played more than 12 weeks.

Please do not shave anything else.

[blu666z]

Please do not show us if you shave anything else.

[Wes Hansen]

I didn't get an email on the standings update.
It is uploaded?

[Sam]

Both the weekly and YTD. I forgot to tick the box for the YTD file but you should have received an email for the weekly.

[Wes Hansen]

Thank you.
I was in the middle of shaving.
Now I feel like I have to finish the other cheek.(?)

Did those links work for you? I wasn't sure if the path might be specific to my Yahoo login.

[Wes Hansen]

worked-

[Scott]

Can you please upload the standings for next week as well?

[Wes Hansen]

Well done Sam.
TWO more weeks.


For the next five days I would like to switch to "Pro-TD" posts. (But I'll be right back to harassing Sam next Monday eve for updates!)

Sam- (and frequent volunteers),
THANK YOU for running LL this year! I'm having a blast. LOVE the extended season and added holes. Amazing how smoothly rounds go with that many people. I don't want to get all sappy here... but, goshdarnit I'm gonna miss LL when it's over.

[blu666z]

pro...tagonistic

[Wes Hansen]

fyp

?

and "pro...tagonistic "

?

A little effort, and clarity, please. It's like trying to figure out Herm.

[blu666z]

fyp = fixed your post

pro...tagonistic was a play on your "Pro-TD" comment

I'll stop now.

[Wes Hansen]

No, no. I just wanted to know what you meant.
My mind read "tagnostic" which makes no sense... or less sense...
Wait, how can you fix my post?

[blu666z]

:slapface:

I quoted Sam's post, but changed what it said in my post. The humor is waining in translation though. :cool:

[Wes Hansen]

The more I trade posts with you, the dumber I get....
Please speak slowly and clearly for the old guy....

[Wes Hansen]

BTW- If someone would make a clever comment on my witty new signature I can get rid of it.
It was mostly for Chris and Sam anyway...

[blu666z]

It's not you.
It's me.
I'll do better in the future.
Hope you're enjoying your day off.

That's so funny....Sig is back up and thinking of what i can add.:biggrin2::laughing::rockon::whistler:

[Wes Hansen]

It would be fantastic if Sam posted the standings... wouldn't it?

[HarrisonH]

I thought there was a verbal promise of posting within 24 hours? *ahem*... I know where I stand, though, unfortunately...

[Sam]

There was a verbal promise? Damn... whoever promised is a friggin' liar!!

[Sam]

YTD stats up. That's all for this week, folks.

See you next Monday for the finals.

[Wes Hansen]

Thank you Mr. Gibson.

[Bullseye]

Wes,

You are quite possibly the only person I know who wants to see their shame in lights. :nahnah:

YTD thru Week 16 (http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QM1nTmRjXxEFL1JaX1KKwNEGv4G8oFMbVVNpTrTlt2IiSbxECT xAVqLm57fIEx8d_rE_D0SwWJp56IDzf156GKv-_fbnmw/_Lunchtime%20League%202011%20Files/week_16_201100905YTD.htm)

[Wes Hansen]

I only wanted the standings... I had NO desire to see last week's results.
Among all the bad players, I'm pretty good.
Among all the good players, I'm pretty bad.
Maybe Jeff couldn't find my name so far above his.....

Indeed, I must be present to win. Perhaps next year I'll make them ALL. Heh.

[Wes Hansen]

I just read, elsewhere, that there would probably be a CTP on every hole for the last week! :cheers:
Also, other joyous surprises....:yay:

Sam- Will there be a cap on how many CTPs can be won by one person?::whistler:
At DabDubs Kevin capped it and I had to settle for only two.::nahnah:

Will there also be a CTP contest for the ace pot if I don't hit one during the round?:rolleyes:

Yes what he said ...thanks Sam Gibson :bowing:for all your hard work this year,and also thanks for keeping it alive.Go lunchtime league.:trophy:

[blu666z]

Sign-ups still end at 5:35?

[Sam]

Hit all of the CTPs... I don't care.

Still taking suggestions about what to do with the ace money. At present, I am considering two alternatives if no one hits an ace tonight:
1) seed next year's week 1 ace pot
2) add this money (~$120-$130) to the money raised for baskets from the trophy fund

Suggestions?

Basket Fund!!!!

IMO: Long term benefits should always trump short term greed. ;)

[blu666z]

I’d vote for it going to the basket fund, but I’m sure some people would bitch that they had paid into the Ace Fund, but no longer have a change to win that money. :rolleyes:

[Sam]

Waaah... complainers can have their $1 or $2 back - accompanied by public ridicule for being such a whiny little biscuit.

[blu666z]

Sounds fair enough.

[chris7graham]

Thanks again to Sam Gibson for running this league:yay::cheers:Thanks to all the peeps who come out:biggrin2:And thanks to Dan Brown:bowing: And DGODS:biggrin2:I took 7TH :trophy: this year!

[Sam]

Done. A lot to say but I am still exhausted. 204 unique players this year. With 85 showing up last night, that was enough to bump us to an average of 68.05 players each week. I still need to add everything up but it looks like we raised about another $1000 for baskets at Lunchtime between the trophy fund, people donating their winnings back, the disc sales and more. By my calculations, that should get us to about 8-9 of the 15 baskets we seek.

Phew! See you all next May... or... rather... this Friday night for Lunchtime Doubles!!

[chris7graham]

Brian Riley Pro 1st
Sam Gibson Pro 2nd
Mat Owens Adv 3rd
Wes Hansen Pro 4th
Logan Miller Adv 5th
Albert Ricker Pro 6th
Chris Graham Pro 7th
Ward Stroud Adv 8th
Andy Haskell Int 9th
Xander Waibel Pro 10th



This is how it ended up this year!Thanks everyone for coming out see ya next year:seeya:

[Wes Hansen]

2012??????????????

[jdinteg]

I too look forward to this league starting soon. Especially with the new baskets, and added holes being in permanently. Sam, ETA?
