Tdg 2011-12

[Sausage Fingers]

This forum is a wasteland.

Anyone think they might want to play TDG next October? I heard some feedback from last year that it was too much. So the schedule if we kept it the same as last year looks like this:

Preliminaries – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Pier Park – 9a
Week 1 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Sorosis Park– 9a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: Horning’s Canyon Course – 8x
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday November 19th/20th: N Bonneville – 8x
Week 4 - Saturday/Sunday December 3rd/4th: Pier Park – 8a
Week 5 - Saturday/Sunday December 10th/11th: Dabney State Park – 8a
Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Timber Park – 8x
Week 7 - Saturday/Sunday January 14th/15th: McIver State Park– 8x
Week 8 - Saturday/Sunday January 28th/29th: Trojan Park – 9a
Week 9 - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: Adair County Park – 9a
Championships - Saturday/Sunday February 25th/26th: McIver State Park – 9a

A season with fewer events looks like this:

Preliminaries – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Pier Park – 9a
Week 1 - Saturday/Sunday October 29th/30th: Sorosis Park– 9a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday November 19th/20th: N Bonneville – 8x
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday December 10th/11th: Dabney State Park – 8a
Week 4 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Pier Park – 8x
Week 5 - Saturday/Sunday January 21st/22nd: Timber Park– 8x
Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: Trojan Park – 9a
Championships - Saturday/Sunday February 25th/26th: McIver State Park – 9a

So what say you all?

I am not sure where my team is at, but if we were to get a team together again I would vote for only a one day championship, or maybe two consecutive weekends one day each weekend. Maybe something like Saturday of the first weekend semi-finals, and Sunday of the next weekend finals? Two days in a row was too much apparently for a lot of teams because both of the teams we were playing basically did not show up. :(

So what say you all?Putt This is in. Can only speak for myself, but I like the longer schedule. I like playing all the different courses. For some courses it's the only time I play them.

I would like to change the championships somehow. Perhaps only involve the four teams who won their divisions? Asking teams with nothing to play for (positive or negative) to devote two days is probably too much. I don't recall the attendance figures for last year's championships. Perhaps all remaining teams can figure who's going to attend and just find a team to play. I don't know...

[softwinterwhispers]

I know I would love to play team disc golf this year. Only thing is in February I have to work one day each weekend and would more then likely not be able to do the full weekend of golf for the championship.

So if any one needs a extra, I'm your gal!! 8)

What about FUN? Shouldn't that be enough to play for?

I like the longer schedule.

[Jeff Hemmerling]

Apparently lots of others don't agree. :(

Well then maybe those teams shouldn't be invited back...:whistler:

[Sausage Fingers]

We will deal with who gets to play this year in another thread.

There was an idea put forth last year to go to a system that puts less importance on the regular season by making it just a way to seed teams into a multi-week playoffs where any team can win the championship.

This would follow the NCAA Basketball model and not the NFL as I have set it up in the past.

I thought that the year went off very nicely and we only had problems with the finals, so maybe we should give the new format a try.:chinscratch:

[emmarose]

jordan,

i think you really should do something to figure out a way to avoid the no show situation from last year... because a bunch of people stepped up and were willing to play with me/let me play with them, and because i just love disc golf so danged much, i still managed to have a great time and not feel like too big of a loser with no team to play with or against... but anyway, it's good you're thinking of different ideas to avoid that situation again because that was totally lame... now i will butt out of this conversation since i probably won't be playing team golf again, but had to give you kudos for problem solving...

I am always open to comments/ideas on ways to make this thing better for all involved. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts. I, too, was very disappointed with the showing for the finals and am looking for ways to change it for next year. And not having you a part of TDG next year is very disappointing.:waaah:

But even if you are not playing next year please feel free to chime in whenever you feel you have something to contribute. You are always welcome.

thanks, jordan...

it just ended up being too big of a commitment, which in some ways really doesn't make sense, because i golf every weekend anyway... but the obligation to play at a certain park with certain people, no matter what the weather conditions, was a little much for me...

there are a couple teams out there that could make me rethink my decision... pretty sure you know who you are ;)

[Skookum]

Team MaCo? (We'd take you)

[AChivers]

Team Chain Damage will have seven players and will be at all matches. Any schedule. Team Chain Damage.:shooting:

Team MaCo? (We'd take you)

... tempting, morgan, sooooo tempting. you know how i love all you mason county boys! if my shack ever falls down and i have to move in with auntie mo and uncle tom (or chris and melody, troy and shannon... just live in uncle tom's cabin down at the river...) i would so be in...

[Captain Save-A-Ho]

My Team is in for next season, and since we dominated the Saturday league we earned the right to play on Sunday. We like the longer schedule and I agree with Hemmerling in that I like playing all the different courses in the area. I also think a few tweaks to the playoffs/finals is a good idea. Is it October yet?

[jdinteg]

I had a blast last year, I'm totally in for October. The Longer the season the better. Milo 2-day finals was grueling, and the no shows really frustrating. But I agree with Emma, I was there to play DG and would have played with any count of people there. That weekend would have been nice to stretch to 2-separate weekends though. Based on the count of people missing I think the vote was with their feet.

[Stephen.Sines]

I would like a 2 weekend finals.
could be more fun that way.

I agree with this idea. I would also like to see more interconference play like two years ago. This whole myth of Sunday teams being better then Saturday teams needs to be put down like the sick beat down horse it is.

I doubt that it is a myth, as we will see this season now that you are playing in the National League...you know, that league who's champion whooped up on the American League's champs...:whistler:

The biggest problem with interconference play is the Saturday teams want to play on Saturdays and the Sunday teams want to play on Sundays. The year that we had fewer Saturday teams, I heard no end of complaint from the Sunday teams who had to play on Saturdays.

And while I would love to see some kind of interconference play in TDG, I have yet to see a good plan to put this into effect...

I am open to any and all suggestions so if you can think of a way to get it done I will listen to it and see if it will fly with the other captains.

The best thing to come out of last year was the improvement in the player ratings. At least we won't have to screw around with that part of TDG next year.:yay:

[Jonesy]

If you make championships two weekend the teams who aren't going to show up won't show up for two weekends. I'm not a fan of wild cards. Play well in reg season and you will be rewarded with a shot at the title. By the end of the season last year I was ready to be done. A one weekend final is best. Griplok

The idea was put forth last year about playing to seed the top 8 from each day into a NCAA-type bracket finals. It would look something like this:

Round 1 - First week of playoffs
SAT
Match 1: ST8 v ST1
Match 2: ST7 v ST2
Match 3: ST6 v ST3
Match 4: ST5 v ST4

SUN
Match 1: SU8 v SU1
Match 2: SU7 v SU2
Match 3: SU6 v SU3
Match 4: SU5 v SU4

Round 2 - Second week of playoffs
SAT
Match 1: M3 Winner v M1 Winner
Match 2: M4 Winner v M2 Winner

SUN
Match 1: M3 Winner v M1 Winner
Match 2: M4 Winner v M2 Winner

Championship Weekend
SAT
Match 1: SUN M2 Winner v SAT M1 Winner
Match 2: SAT M2 Winner v SUN M1 Winner

SUN
M1 Winner v M2 Winner

Now while this format still has a final weekend that takes both days, only the 2 teams playing for the championship would be required to play both days and I don't see either of those teams lacking motivation to come out and play for the trophy.

In this format the schedule would look like this:

Preliminaries – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Pier Park – 9a
Week 1 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Sorosis Park– 9a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: Horning’s Canyon Course – 8x
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday November 19th/20th: N Bonneville – 8x
Week 4 - Saturday/Sunday December 3rd/4th: Pier Park – 8a
Week 5 - Saturday/Sunday December 10th/11th: Dabney State Park – 8a
Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Timber Park – 8x
Week 7 - Saturday/Sunday January 14th/15th: McIver State Park– 8x
Playoffs R1 - Saturday/Sunday January 28th/29th: Trojan Park – 9a
Playoffs R2 - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: Adair County Park – 9a
Championships - Saturday/Sunday February 25th/26th: McIver State Park – 9a

The first 7 weeks would only be used to seed the teams into the tourney giving even the 8th best team from each day a chance to win it all. It also cuts down on the number of peeps that would be forced to come out and play at the end of the season...

Once again you have come up with an excellent and detailed plan that would appear to be solid. I completely support this playoff schedule. My only suggestion would be to add a week or two to the season to allow the playoffs to happen at Milo while not eliminating any of the courses currently in the rotation. Also I think we should consider LL Stub Stewart as another course for TDG.

[Wes Hansen]

Mr. Lewis is again proposing a JAN 1st event. Perhaps Sunday teams should complain NOW rather than wait until mid-December to do so.

That playoff system looks good.

Stewart instead of one of those two Gorge courses! R. Rock? Why travel so far for bad weather and marginal courses when we can get both closer to home?

Blue Lake this year? (When will it be playable?)

Anyone want to play TDG AND will attend 75% or more of all events PM me.
3 committed players wanted for Saturday team. Last season's worst team seeks improvement.
Prefer either very good golfers or anyone willing to play in crappy conditions after getting up way too early. Sense of humor a must. Cooks welcome. Must have own cooler.

I am loathe to add any more weeks than we already have to the schedule, but we could eliminate the duplications in the schedule, and maybe even the Prelims if enough TDG players have actual ratings (either current PDGA members or played PDGA events this year or played last year). I would love to add Stubb to the mix but it is still a pretty rough course and would take a while to get around the course twice so we would need to use that course early or late.

Here's another whack at it:

Week 1 – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Sorosis Park– 9a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Trojan Park - 9a
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: N Bonneville – 8x

Yeah... I won't be able to make it on January 1st. Perhaps we want to not put a TDG event on the biggest hangover day of the year?

[Jeff Hemmerling]

Yeah... I won't be able to make it on January 1st. Perhaps we want to not put a TDG event on the biggest hangover day of the year?Nice try but definitely not fair to the Saturday teams that had to play last year on New Years Day. That was part of the discussion at the time: if Saturday teams had to last year then the Sunday teams would have to this year. :)

[Sam]

That's ridiculous. It was a horrible idea for last year and it is a horrible-r idea for this year. There is likely to not even be the same folks playing on Saturday so who is it not fair to again? People from the past?

[NWDiscer]

There is likely to not even be the same folks playing on Saturday so who is it not fair to again? People from the past?


:whistler: so what your saying here Sam is that if 1 or 2 of the teams from Sat. dont come back......that its unfair for you to have to play NYD this year.....


maybe curtail your drinking for 1 day this coming year, then no problems the next day.


:cheers:

[Sam]

Pffft... I was hoping to do something cool this year for New Year's... and was hoping to not have to stay in town to do it.

But it is super swell to meet you, Mr. Pot.

Has this ever happened to me? Nope. So... not sure what you were implying in the first place. I was referencing the "curtail your drinking for one day" comment, anyway.

oh trust and believe Sam i do go more than 1 day with out a drink quite often thanks for playing though.

as for what i was referring to it was this

Yeah... I won't be able to make it on January 1st. Perhaps we want to not put a TDG event on the biggest hangover day of the year?


that sure seems like a comment from some1 that is gonna have a couple to many and be hungover...all i was saying is that maybe this year you should not be hungover??? it is only 1 day out of the next 6 years of TDG.

:rolleyes2:

[Jonesy]

So in that playoff scenario not everyone would play a final championship game? Lame! If teams don't want to show up to playoff for 14 th n 15 th place maybe don't sign up a team at all.

[TreeLove]

Well, that's an opinion. One I thought I shared in, in fact. But last year's attendance for the finals proved otherwise. I am leaning toward that proposed NCAA format. Everyone will be tempted by the fact that anyone can still win, and once you're out, you can still come out and caddy, play casual, volunteer, or just stay home. As far as the schedule, I would say please add a prelim (or week 1!) weekend at Milo. No way I could wait all season to play there, with the (unlikely) possibility of being knocked out after one day of play.

It is purely a time based decision. It is too hard to get everybody through that course twice in limited daylight. Add in the fact that it could be snowed in very easily and it makes for a bad combo.

Makes sense, I cannot disagree with your logic. I'm just a big fan of Stubb.

[TreeLove]

Teams must have 7 players each, no more, no less (one alternate is allowed for a one-time permanent member replacement). Participation is first come, first served, until the league is full. Returning teams have precedence. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL TDG POST, I am not a TDG official, though I play one on TV.

[jdinteg]

Jordan,
After playing today with some great players, and me. I can see even the good ones have to hunt for plastic every other hole at Stubb. I really like this course, but I retract my suggestion for Stubb in TDG. In addition I would like to state "You were right, and I was wrong" for the record. We would never get out of there with a full TDG group on Sat/Sun. Someday it may be cleared out enough though? Now only if Blue Lake could speed up the pace we could put that in the mix. Maybe 2015 season?

[Sausage Fingers]

Jordan,
After playing today with some great players, and me. I can see even the good ones have to hunt for plastic every other hole at Stubb. I really like this course, but I retract my suggestion for Stubb in TDG. In addition I would like to state "You were right, and I was wrong" for the record. We would never get out of there with a full TDG group on Sat/Sun. Someday it may be cleared out enough though? Now only if Blue Lake could speed up the pace we could put that in the mix. Maybe 2015 season?

Once again, if it is longer/harder than Milo, no matter how much fun it is to play casually, it probably won't work for TDG. Even though we do draw some of the 1000 rated players, the players in TDG span the gamut of skill levels. So I try to not keep it limited to just long and/or hard courses. I am sure that Blue Lake will be a great course to play, but at some point the difficulty, when you add in winter weather, will be too much to get all players around the course twice in limited daylight. Even if they put in shorter tees all that does is make people complain that "we went all the way to that course and didn't get to play the Pro tees..."

And using the bracket system would mean fewer teams would have to play late into the season and only the top two teams would have to play back to back days on the final weekend. Of course as many or as few teams could still come out and play...

But there are some big downsides to this format.

:pirate:

[TreeLove]

Care to mention any of them (downsides of bracket format)?

[Sausage Fingers]

Care to mention any of them (downsides of bracket format)?

Well let's see...if all I needed to do was make the top 8 teams in my division (day) to make the bracket tournament then I could have my players win a couple matches and then bag the hell out their ratings for the rest of the season so that when the bracket matches came around they could kick some serious arse.

Especially if you could manage to get the 8th seed. You would then match up against the team with the best finish in the division, and the correspondingly higher ratings for all of their players.

Now I am not saying anyone would do this, but with the final chance at winning the whole league riding NOT on the regular season, but only on the the last three weekends of play there could be some shenanigans...just sayin':whistler:

I believe that the NCAA type playoff works only when the play is straight up and not handicapped. But I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

But if this hadn't occurred to anyone else, maybe I just screwed the pooch by letting the cat out of the bag and damn if I can't work a third cliche into this sentence...:bricks:

How about this idea: a player's TDG rating can never go down. Once established, if rounds shot are below rating, they are thrown out of the rating calculation. Too extreme?

Here is one way to eliminate bagging. A players rating will go UP as normal. However, you can set a limit of... lets say 10 points for this example... on the lowest rating a person can get in relation to their current rating. For instance I am currently rated 966. If I tank a round, regardless of how poorly I play, the very lowest rated round I could score is 966-10=956. It would take quite a few weeks to drop your rating to a point where sandbagging would even be worthwhile.

[jdinteg]

Wise Elders:
How common is the sandbagging problem? I did not meet anyone guilty of it last season. Was there big money involved or some spectacular prize that was worth cheating to get? Will there be this year? I look forward to beating my past rating, learning from the experts, and maybe whooping on some players that schooled me last season. Not sure how sucking it up all season just to win the finals is much of an accomplishment when no money is on the line?

[Captain Save-A-Ho]

There was/is bagging every match every week in some form or another. Almost all of it is subtle and very minor, but it does occur. If you do not see it, go back and look at the ratings of the team that won it all for the duration of the season. I am 100% behind a "no bagging" rule. If Gawain can work some high powered exel magic, and the captains can agree then you would see a lot fewer individual matches won by a single stroke.

[Sausage Fingers]

[The Brodys]

I know some folks and teams on Saturday who admittedly bagged strokes. Its not cool and hopefully you do figure out a way to stop it from happening. It is hard to believe people want to win a free league so bad they will cheat to do it. It must be a killer coffee table.

[Stephen.Sines]

I bagged. we all know this. :)
I dont want to bag and would like to play according to rating the entire coming season. If I get beat one on one, honestly I could care less.
This is simply off-season practice for mass amounts of fun.
I second the idea of ratings being weighted towards going up than to be balanced. weight distributed 90% up/10% down.

[Sam]

Interesting that the strategy of bagging is now being called "cheating". Please show me where in the rules it says that you HAVE to make your putts. Please also show me where it is not a good idea to win by a stroke or two more than the handicap difference.

You may not like this part of the game... but in a handicapped league, this is not cheating... it is strategy.

Rather than grab yourself a rule book, perhaps think about purchasing a dictionary. "Cheating" has a pretty specific definition that usually involves defying the rules. There is no rule about missing putts.

Is bagging something that has happened in TDG for years? Uh... yes. Is it part of the game? Uh... yes. I spoke with Camo about this subject yesterday and he proudly proclaimed that Rockwood does this when they are winning or losing big. And hey... they won the thing, I believe, so this is actually an effective tactic should one wish to employ it. Do I think Rockwood cheated? Hell no and I will defend them their right to bag until the rules are changed such as to disallow it.

Hell no and I will defend them their right to bag until the rules are changed such as to disallow it.

And I do not believe that there should be RULES changes, more like some slight tinkering with how the ratings are calculated should be enough to limit this tactic. (And I am not sure that I disagree with the tactic in the first place.)

Let me tell a little story about the history of TDG. Way back in the day when only the hardcore crazies showed up, the morning matches were all doubles. And a good system for handicapping doubles matches is very hard to come up with. We tried a number of different options, the first of which was add the two ratings together and divide by two. This gave a huge advantage to the dubs team that could field a 1000 rated Pro and an 800 rated Am. They would take almost every shot by the Pro and crush the two 900 rated Ams who had to play them straight up.

So we changed the way we handled the dubs matches to try to make them a more fair battle. But in the end, to help the singles ratings be the most accurate they could be, we limited the dubs to 2 per match. This gave us more data points for singles ratings, and the correspondingly more accurate singles ratings, but did not do away with the dubs entirely.

But in reality, when you are on a roll in a match and all of your drives are workin and the basket looks as big as a barn and all of your putts are falling, it is very hard to dial it back. But it is in your best interest, in a handicapped league, to NOT post your best round ever. Unless it represents your new level of play, because you will be expected by your rating to shoot that from now on or you will lose matches.

Sorry I posted so much, but I am fascinated by this stuff.:rockon:

"Cheating refers to the breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation. The rules infringed may be explicit, or they may be from an unwritten code of conduct based on morality, ethics or custom, making the identification of cheating a subjective process." from wiki.

And other handicapped leagues do have written rules such as, "This rule also concerns the deliberate manipulation of skill levels. The League Operator or the Board of Governors has the option to disqualify a team from becoming eligible for Session Playoffs and Higher Level Tournaments, or receiving trophies as a result of their play in a session, if in the League Operator's or Board of Governors' sole judgment and absolute discretion, one or more of its players are deemed to be playing at a skill level below their true ability.

The League Operator and/or BOG should exercise this option no later than 15 days after the Session Playoff finals. Make sure the skill levels of all team members reflect their true ability. If you think a teammate's skill level is too low for any reason, simply call the League Office and ask them to raise the player's skill level appropriately." from poolplayers.com.

I am not saying this is how you should run your league, but you should realize some people like to give 100% all the time and should not be punished for trying harder than the other team.

i am not sure that this applies to our sport. it seems, from reading this only I have no knowledge of how pool does their handicapping, that they do not actually use a handicap to adjust the 'scores' of their players as much as they have skill levels that they group players into. And once in that group, if you are significantly better than the other players you can crush them without a hope of losing.

Now if we could only get this discussion going without the personal slams I'd be open to hearing any ideas on how to make it better for all involved. There has to be a good way to level the playing field for all levels of competitors.

I was referencing the big downsides mentioned earlier. And if you wanted to use the bracket system you should try to eliminate bagging as much as possible. You have made it clear your league does not use any rules to prevent people from employing "strategy".

I suppose that this is a hot button issue for many. And I always try to inject humor into every post so even the ones where I am acting like a condescending asshole should be taken with a grain of salt...

I seem to recall her waffling last year, but she sure looked like she was having a great time whenever I saw her. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up playing again this year. Heck, the rules and ratings for this year aren't even set yet!

i was actually doing my best to not criticize... and again regret posting in something that would probably be in my best interest to just keep my nose out of. that was why i said that i understand both sides of the bagging issue... why to some it feels like cheating and why at the same time it is in fact good strategy. strategy is not always my strong suit.

and yes, gawain, i did have a fine time at team golf. that's kind of my style. hardly a round of golf played in my life that i wanted to quit... only two come to mind as i rack my brain. but... i am not a good team golf player and that is because i am selfish and self centered (and willing to admit it) when it comes to my golf game. it's not fair to a team for me to be a part of it if all i care about is my own personal game. golf is not a team sport in my world and i could never let myself miss a putt on purpose. and that's okay... it's okay i don't want to do that, and it is also okay that that is the strategy used... different strokes, people... takes all kinds... blahblahblah...

i apologize if i came off sounding as though i was judging. i was a touch cranky when i posted and probably didn't need to say anything at all.

butting out as of now.

OTDG has been around for what, 7 years now? And every year the rules have been improved to make the playing field more fair. All complaining does is burn out the people who are actually carrying the workload. It doesn't help, in fact it has the opposite effect. If you care about TDG and want it to succeed then Id encourage you to offer to help, pitch in to make it more fun for others, keep things positive. And, if your ego is so fragile that your focus is on individual acheivement then I suggest you follow Emma's lead and skip TDG - which has always been more about having fun and playing with friends in the winter then personal accolades.

[The Brodys]

I think feed back is important and my intention was not to complain but to add a view point. Sorry again to anyone that thought I was slamming the league. I suck at disc golf so my comments were not made to protect my fragile ego. What would have made the league more fun for me is if the other team would have showed up for finals...:nahnah: just kidding :kissflowers:

Sand bagging is poor sportsmanship :rolleyes2: Is it part of a handicapped league? obviously. That doesn't mean everybody needs to employ it. I applaud any rating tweaks that may reduces the effects of sandbagging.

[Captain Save-A-Ho]

Week 1 – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Stub Stewart 8a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Adair- 8a
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: Treetop/Sorosis – 8a
Week 4 - Saturday/Sunday November 19th/20th: Horning/canyon- 8a
Week 5 - Saturday/Sunday December 3rd/4th: N Bonneville - 8a
Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday December 10th/11th: Dabney – 8a
Week 7 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Pier – 8a
Week 8 - Saturday/Sunday January 14th/15th: Timber – 8a
Week 9 - Saturday/Sunday January 28th/29th: Trojan – 8a
Playoffs - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: McIver – 8a
Championships - Saturday/Sunday February 25th/26th: McIver – 8a

All weeks start at 8a
For the Playoffs we could go back to old TDG methodology and make it the responsibility of the two team captains to schedule their matches any time during the playoff weekend at the designated course. It would make inter-conference play easier to accomplish and that way if a team was going to, for example, not even show up to the finals, their captain would be REQUIRED to inform the opposing team captain ahead of time. It is a simple thing to make a call.

[Sam]

Um... no. You leave it to captains to make TDG happen and we regress 4 years. Schedule that shit and leave nothing to question.

[Captain Save-A-Ho]

Um... no. You leave it to captains to make TDG happen and we regress 4 years. Schedule that shit and leave nothing to question.

If you actually read what I was suggesting, you would have seen I was ONLY talking about the one week of playoffs. Which would allow a Saturday team to play a sunday team at a time that works for both teams. My suggestion would also promote communication between captains and teams, while you are suggesting that people are all idiots and couldn't be bothered to take any responsibility for themselves, or even be bothered to pick up a phone to let the other team know if they were even planning to show.

[Sam]

You clearly were not involved in the previous incarnation of TDG. I am not suggesting that people are all idiots. The point is that this adds a layer of complication that people could not deal with in the past. Set a hard time for the playoffs and people will show up or they won't. I am betting they will.

[Sausage Fingers]

The point is that this adds a layer of complication that people could not deal with in the past. Set a hard time for the playoffs and people will show up or they won't. I am betting they will.

Back in the early years of Team Disc Golf each team captain had to contact the other team captain and arrange a time when both teams could show up and play their two matches for the month, one at each team's home course. So the only players that you would see each month would be the team you are playing. Many times the two captains were unable to agree on the times to meet and complete the match.

When I took over the running of the Team Disc Golf I decided to make it a group event where everybody plays the same course on the same day at the same time. Not only does this make it more of a group event so you can see the other TDG peeps each time, it allows me to produce ratings for each round played and adjust the handicaps as the season progresses.

It seemed to me, from the feedback from last year, that the only thing that many people didn't like was the Finals. 2 rounds each day on back-to-back days was too much for people not playing for something more than a 3rd or 4th place finish.

So my idea this year is to only require the top 2 teams to come back for the second day that weekend. The other teams that want to come back and play can either play the teams they would normally play for final finish order or any other team that happens to also show up or even just play casual golf for fun.

That way if some team just blows everybody off and doesn't show up we don't get hard feelings and peeps deciding to not even play the next year because they feel that they got cheated.:bricks:

I am open to any other suggestions you may have, so please let me know if you have an idea on how to make this league better for everyone.

[George A.]

Wow... I loved how it was last year the finals were like the rest of the year if you don't bring your team you don't have a chance .. I can't believe you can show up all winter long then when it counts the most you cry about playing golf at milo two days in a row .. wow .. what a ruff weekend .. man up .. team up .. and enjoy an amazing golf courses and more amazing people ..
Just my 2 cents ..

Kirsten and I would be so sad not seeing all the Team Golf peeps all season. So, we decided that we are going to run some Chick Flick fundraisers making hot lunches! So far we can only commit to doing this on Sundays but are trying to figure out how to get Saturday teams some lunches.
So far we're thinking that we would do this at the places with pavilions and where food is far away. So maybe Sorosis, Bonneville, Dabney, Timber, and Milo playoffs. That would be pretty much once a month. Maybe a couple homemade soups, pulled pork, glory chili dogs, french dip sandwiches, and frybread for the playoffs. :drool: If the veggies let us know ahead of time that they want a lunch we'll figure out something delicious.
We'll nail down a schedule and menu when the team golf schedule is official.

Earlier I posted some ideas, but the main point was the schedule changes and the idea that all weeks start at 8am. For some reason the only feedback I received was about a minor idea I stuck on the end. Captains calling each other was just a minor suggestion regarding the play-offs. My main reasoning was to hash out the schedule and location of events. Also an 8am start EVERY week would allow us to finish in the daylight even on the short days...

I do not know how things went on Saturdays last year, but Sundays didn't have any trouble finishing in daylight last year, especially in the early and late season events. I do not think that we need to push the start times any earlier than they already are. But I do think we need to hash out the venues and the dates we want to play these venues, because playing the right course when we have less light can be crucial. And that brings us to the next item:

Once again this year Stoney McGee's has been made available for the captain's meeting. Now all we need is a date and time to meet. I'd like to get this done in the first half of next month if we can nail down that last Saturday team ASAP. If Captains can get me their availability for weekday versus weekend meeting times that would be great.

There probably won't be much to discuss this season other than getting the venues for TDG set into the schedule. We need to figure out what course we play on what weeks to avoid playing a long course with the least amount of daylight available. So let's get this meeting scheduled ASAP!

A final schedule thought....
re: Gorge courses vs. blue lake/other courses vs. time to play....
Why not start early one week and play blue lake rather than a Gorge course?
Then we have time to play and most folks still get to sleep longer than if they had to drive half way to Boise to play. Blue Lake compared to Bonnie or The D is a no brainer and with the cost of gas it's a wise move as well. Any course close is better than poor courses far away.
And why don't we play Rooster Rock?!

[Sam]

Blue Lake isn't a course yet. Some would argue that Rooster Rock is still not a course.

[Wes Hansen]

My understanding was BL would be in during the season.

RR not a course? Who says? It has more characteristics of a course than Lunchtime or several other courses. (Though Lunchtime would make for a better location than either Gorge course.)

The Dalles is dangerous, boring and not worth the drive. It would make a nice 9-hole course though.

[George A.]

Wes you should talk to big winds about driving...and I wouldn't bash there courses

Just my 2 cents

[George A.]

Wes that's two Sunday teams :shooting:
For you :nono:

[Wes Hansen]

I'm not bashing "anyone's" course. I'm stating my opinion of "a" course.
For a couple years the 9 hole in Eugene was "my" course. It really sucked as "a" course.


And I realize BW drives far to nearly every event... and that they make up just 5% of TDG.
I was thinking of the other 95% of TDG.

I got 3c!

(You can't go back and edit your double post to respond to a post I made after your post. It makes you look like a clairvoyant or a genius!)

[Sausage Fingers]

1. As long as Big Winds fields a team and drives a lot farther than any other team we WILL be playing the 2 courses with tee pads in the gorge. I am trying to get them both played early in the season this year to try and keep us out of the snow/ice problems that can plague those courses later in the winter.

2. Blue Lake does not have a disc golf course in the ground yet, and when it does it will be longer than Milo without the nice shelters for TC that you get at Milo. We are playing Winter golf, we need daylight to play. So maybe after this course is in and has had some time to mature we could add it to the list either early or late in the season when we have more daylight. The same could be said for Stubb Stewart, but I don't see you championing the use of that course...probably because it isn't right near where you live...:whistler:

3. Rooster Rock is not a course because no other course separates their 9 hole sets with a mile drive between them. 'Nuff Said!:pullhair:

4. You will notice that we will be playing more short courses than long courses during OTDG. This is a handicapped league designed for all levels of play and doesn't cater to the long arm players.

5. Starting early may sound like it is easy to do, but would you be in favor of starting early at The Dalles? You know, when it is YOU that has to drive the long distance just to get to the course...:nono:

These are long held gripes that seem to come up each and every season, and I respond with the same logical reasons to these questions time and time again.

[Wes Hansen]

I went back and checked... I wasn't crying, I was stating an opinion or two.
After Mr. Lewis' response I also differed to his wisdom regarding TDG courses and scheduling.
I still don't like either of the Gorge courses (which may be influenced by my having played them hurt, in bad weather, tired, poorly and only once) but that doesn't mean I was crying about them.
They only thing in DG that makes me cry is the way I play.

We are about to kick the tires and light the fires. This is what I am thinking for the schedule for 2011-12:

Preliminaries – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: Pier Park – 9a
Week 1 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Sorosis Park– 9a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: N Bonneville – 8x
Week 3 - Saturday/Sunday November 19th/20th: Horning’s Canyon Course – 8x
Week 4 - Saturday/Sunday December 3rd/4th: Pier Park – 8a
Week 5 - Saturday/Sunday December 10th/11th: Dabney State Park – 8a
Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Timber Park – 8x
Week 7 - Saturday/Sunday January 14th/15th: McIver State Park– 8x
Week 8 - Saturday/Sunday January 28th/29th: Trojan Park – 9a
Week 9 - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: Adair County Park – 9a
Championships - Saturday/Sunday February 25th/26th: McIver State Park – 9a

Please note that the start times change from event to event as the daylight gets shorter and longer throughout the season.

The PRELIMINARIES:

4 rounds of disc golf over 2 days Sat & Sun Oct 8 & 9.

The first weekend is for setting handicaps for the new players that do not have current PDGA ratings. If you are a new player to TDG please make sure that you get at least 1 round in sometime during this weekend's 4 rounds. If you fail to do so you will play your first match with a rating of 1000.

All players may show up and play as many of these 4 rounds as they wish. We will have a short hello and explanation of how TDG works and I'll hand out scorecards and you can figure out your own groups to play the course. Please do not play in groups larger than 5 for speed of play. The morning round will go faster than the afternoon round.

Each round will get a rating and the sum of the round ratings for all team members will be used to seed each day's 10 teams into 2 divisions for regular season head-to-head play.

The scores will be recorded and the head-to-head schedule will be posted and away we go with Oregon Team Disc Golf 2011-2012...

And THAT, Ladies and Gentlemen is how

The first weekend is for setting handicaps for the new players that do not have current PDGA ratings. If you are a new player to TDG please make sure that you get at least 1 round in sometime during this weekend's 4 rounds. If you fail to do so you will play your first match with a rating of 1000.

oh ok sweet, so ill just miss the first weekend and get a lower rating by default. see you guys on the 23rd! :nahnah:

This is my ideas for this year's schedule. I think we should have the Pre-lims at Milo, as maybe the 36 layout would still be up from Hab-rec. I also think we should play Pier on New Year's day as it is the most centrally located, and would be easier for people to get to in bad weather. If we Pre-lim at Milo, we could drop Milo from the late season schedule and add rooster. I also think we should start EVERY week at 8am to make it consistent and avoid confusion. It will also give us more time at the end of the days.

Preliminaries – Saturday/Sunday October 8th/9th: McIver – 8a
Week 1 - Saturday/Sunday October 22nd/23rd: Sorosis Park– 8a
Week 2 - Saturday/Sunday November 5th/6th: N Bonneville – 8a

Week 6 - Saturday/Sunday December 31st/1st: Pier Park – 8x
Week 7 - Saturday/Sunday January 14th/15th: Rooster Rock - 8a
Week 8 - Saturday/Sunday January 28th/29th: Trojan Park – 8a
Week 9 - Saturday/Sunday February 11th/12th: Adair County Park – 8a

I like the Schedule! :yay: I disagree with DMZ on Rooster :nono:, but I agree with him on the 8am scenario :kissflowers:. It means BW in the Gorge and the other long drivers have gotta get up early for Trojan and Hornings, but we have gotta do the same for Sorosis, Bonneville, and Adair. So it evens out, right?:cheers:

[Captain Save-A-Ho]

One of the things I like about TDG is playing a different course every week. That is why I said rooster, but that could be Stubb or Willamette.

I agree with you there. I have no clue which course that should be though. But Rooster and Stubb are both tough to avoid hunting for plastic all the time on. Which means we would have really slow rounds.

[Sausage Fingers]

oh ok sweet, so ill just miss the first weekend and get a lower rating by default. see you guys on the 23rd! :nahnah:

Try a little better reading for comprehension...Since you are a current PDGA member you start with that rating, but if you'd prefer to start with a rating of 1000 instead of the 952 from the PDGA for spouting off like a moron then we can make that happen too.:nahnah:

Joe G's moving to Saturday's? Glad to see the Crusties finally picked up a skirt.

[Sausage Fingers]

The Dalles -> Adair seems like a brutal trip for Big Winds... Has Adair been on the TDG calendar before? Personally, Id rather make the trip to Rooster, even with having to drive the entrie half mile between 9's.

Joe G's moving to Saturday's? Glad to see the Crusties finally picked up a skirt.

And this is why we hold off until late in the season to get Adair on the schedule. And why we don't start every week off at 8 am. That would make for a very early departure time from The Dalles...

When I say on the schedule that the event starts at 9am that doesn't mean we show up at 9 am anyway. The captains should be at the event by 8:30 am to set up the matchups and give me time to fill out the score cards. We want to be teeing off by 9am. So I really believe that only the shortest daylight events need to be starting by 8 am.

:pirate:

[Jeff Hemmerling]

Yes Adair was on the schedule last year and some years before that. Adair and Trojan are both quite far from the Dalles but I've never heard any of Big Winds members complain. They rock! Hell, one of their players lives in Astoria!

And for all you people with short memories:

WE ARE NOT GOING TO PLAY ROOSTER WHILE JORDAN IS RUNNING THE SHOW!

Please go back over this thread and you'll (re)discover why it's never going to happen as long as Rooster is configured as it is. Next person to suggest it will be forced to play their first match with a 1100 rating.

All that said, I'm looking forward to more cold and wet golf with some of my favorite people! ;) Two boxes of hand warmers were ordered today in fact.

[all2common]

Forgive me for being confused, but does a person need to show up at the preliminaries and play 4 rounds to get their rating for TDG? What if that person already has a rating? Do they still need to play 4 rounds at Pier?

Thank you for your patience.

[HarrisonH]

So, I am interested in playing TDG, yet haven't found a team somehow. Enough of you out there know me, so point me in the right direction, if you could. Cheers!

No worries. Here's how we set ratings for TDG:
1. Current PDGA members use their current rating at the start of TDG Oct 8/9
2. Former TDG players use last year's final rating
3. If you do not get a rating from 1 or 2 then you must play at least one rated round during the Prelims at Pier Park on Oct 8/9
4. Still no rating from 1-3 you start the year with a rating of 1000. It will not be factored into your rating for the rest of the year, your rating going forward will be based upon what rounds you shoot in TDG.

That said, if only peeps without ratings show up and play then we will have a hard time seeding the round for those without ratings. So basically this is the lowest key of the low key events that I run. We are there to have some fun rounds, drink some quaffers, shoot the shite, run some smack and play a little disc golf. IF you can come out and play please do so. You can play in up to 4 rounds that weekend if you wish.:cool2:

Well, it looks like the last team with any roster opening is the Discrupters team led by Wes Hansen. They might have an opening for someone who is dedicated to making all of the events. I would PM him on this forum with your desire to join TDG. I believe that we are at 138 peeps for our 140 person league.

We are almost ready to get this baby started!:yay:

The Discrupters have a full team. The 7th & 8th players are undergoing three days of DG boot camp to see who gets the starting spot.

Please, no more resumes.

Official roster will be submitted to TDG Commissioner forthwith.

Just in case a hot lunch on a cold day and supporting ladies golf is not enough incentive, the amazing Next Adventure will be donating items for us to raffle off during the Team Golf Championships lunch.
Every lunch bought throughout the season will score you a raffle ticket. Must be present at the championships lunch to win.
We'll just have you write your name on the ticket and we'll hang on to them if you want so they don't disintegrate in your bag over the winter season.
If we gather enough items to raffle, we will offer additional tickets separate.

"Every lunch bought throughout the season will score you a raffle ticket. "

If you come on Sunday and get a lunch you will for sure get a ticket. We are trying to get enough raffle items together for it to make sense to sell additional tickets, so we can include everyone. We tried to make it possible to sell lunches on Saturday too, but just couldn't work it out with our other schedules and commitments.

Is there a schedule published somewhere? I have been unable to locate one. Not dates... I have grumbled enough about that. Match-ups.

From the yahoo site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teamdiscgolf/files/2011-2012/TDG_1112_MASTER2_Rost\
ers_%26_Ratings.xls

Or if that link doesnt work, it's the most recently uploaded excel file.

See then the "Rosters Wk1" worksheet.

[Sausage Fingers]

The most recent Master Ratings File has a Schedule tab too where you can see the Team by Team schedules as well as the weekly schedule. I'll try to upload that one tonight when I get home.

It's the team that will be handing you your first loss of the season!

:laughing:

Oh. You guys.

[George A.]

Sam will you be playing against my team this year or will you go home before lunch like last year ???
Would like to know so I can have my show pony take you down to the pony show....

[Sam]

Gee, I don't know, George... but you're venturing into the personal. I would suggest not doing that considering I know what I know.

See you on the course.

This is the hardest fought FREE league you will ever enter. We bring it hard, year after year, and the players who have played for most of these years really know how to get under each other's skin.
