Oregon Team Disc Golf 2011-12

[Sausage Fingers]

Well, here we are staring the start of Oregon Team Disc Golf square in the face and already I am struggling with my demons and having trouble getting the energy together to start climbing the mountain of work that is OTDG. But I will try my best to suck it up and get this thing going as smoothly as possible.

There seems to already be some confusion as to what is the exact schedule for OTDG 2011-12. (No small thanks to some peeps who like to post official looking posts to confuse the players in an attempt to get their choices of courses on the schedule) But I have to accept some of the blame from my soliciting input from one and all and lack of time recently to post more on this forum.

Some basics:
1. I will be using this forum to rant and rave but all official documents will be posted to our Yahoo Groups page that can be accessed by the easy to remember URL of teamdiscgolf.com thanks to the kindness of Treelove. Each week's Match Sheets with final scores along with Standings and the all important Master Sheet will be updated ASAP after each event and posted to this group. I will not be e-mailing these to anybody or posting them here on this forum. I may cut and paste some things to this forum as time and energy level allow but you won't be fully informed unless you go to the Yahoo group and get the files for yourself.

2. The logistics of the Captain's meeting seemed to be beyond my ability to pull together this year so I am going with the following schedule for OTDG this year. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Unforeseen circumstances seem to pop up each year (like courses pulling baskets the week before an event) and I will do my best to inform everybody on this forum and the Yahoo group as far in advance as possible. Maybe this is the year that we make no changes, but I am not holding my breath. It is each Team Captain's responsibility to make sure that each of their players know what is up for each event. This is why I give so much power to them in OTDG. They are the final say on important things like who gets replaced during the season.

3. This is a handicapped league based on the PDGA ratings system and players without ratings tend to piss me off. So if you have new (to OTDG) players on your team that are not current PDGA members then you need to have them show up and play at least 1 round during the prelims this weekend at Pier to set their ratings. We will be playing two rounds on Saturday and two rounds on Sunday and you are welcome to play as many of those rounds as you like...PLEASE. I will be available all weekend at Pier to talk with the new captains to explain how our system works so if you have questions please feel free to bring them up to me. The prelims are the most laid back part of OTDG and the goal is to have fun and play some rounds of disc golf with each other. It is the only time other than the finals where the Saturday and Sunday teams will be on the course at the same time. Do not play in groups larger than 5!

4. Divisional alignments for the Saturday and Sunday leagues will be based on an arcane numerical formula derived from the rounds played at the Prelims. I will post the head-to-head schedule as soon as possible after tallying the scores and computing the round ratings from the prelims. You will play every other team in your league once but the division matches will be more important as your win/loss record will only be compared to the other teams in your division to determine what place you play for in the finals.

5. This long post has nearly sapped my will to live so I am going to stop here and go pour myself another gin & tonic.:chug:

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

Explanation: When the schedule says we start at 9am that is supposed to be the tee time. That means that the team captain (or their representative) should be at tournament central 30 minutes before that time to set their lineups so we can get the show on the road. After the lineups are set I need some time to fill out the round's scorecards and send you all out to your holes. Few things piss me off more than captains who do not show up in a timely manner and make everybody else wait on them. (BTW - When the schedule says 8x it means 8:30am) We will take a short break between rounds for lunch and then start our second round. Please do not leave the park and go to a fine dining establishment for a leisurely lunch and expect the rest of us to wait for you. We need to get around the course a second time before darkness falls people.

Nice! For once we don't get the home team. Instead we get the drunk team.

Do we have enough strokes to give away? Can their team count that high? :whistler::whistler:

This little change has caused me some headaches this year. I got all of the crap done and then saw these scores, so I had to go back and add them in. That caused the Sunday PM SSA to change along with the order of the Saturday teams, so the team divisional line up changed. So really, when I go back and make the matchups automatic that will change the schedule too. So the Saturday matchups for Week 1 are not correct and will change soon.

And now I just realized that there was ALSO a lineup change included that I missed (damn the quaffers:chug:), so I need to go back and make that change too. But that should be easy.

This is not calling AChivers out so much as me trying to get sympathy for the 100 hours or so that I have put into the files so far this year. But each year my excel skills get better and better...:posting:

Many thanks go out to Zimmerman, Garcelon & Melissa for their help, and I really couldn't get the new anti-bagging formula done this year without the help of Gawain "excel Guru" Stern. I will try to get it all updated and posted to the yahoo groups site this week so I can enjoy some disc golf this weekend. Just know that when you see me :posting: things at 1 am I have been working on it since I got home from work that night...

I am sorry about the changes. Jordan you are super awesome for Team Golf and my team is grateful for all you do. Please tell what you drink and I will get it to you. Hopefully it will help. AChivers:slapface::chug:

[all2common]

Thanks, Jordan! I will tell you so in person next week.


Regarding our matchup, it seems like I am able to party Saturday since I won't have to take it too seriously to get a point or two.

I think you misread something.............you're not playing Vapor Trails.........you're playing Discrupters. I might only play with a putter and a well...............another putter. Just cause Mittl kicked my butt last year...............oh wait..............I kicked Mittl's butt last year, that's right. Hmmmmmm! Have another beer on me Saturday night. Just sayin'!!!! :shooting:

A very good question was brought up by George Adams. What is the SSA for the week 1 course?

I have SSA data from the 07-08 season on and the average TDG SSA for Sorosis Park is 49.94 so we will play 11 ratings points per stroke.
