2011 Season Kicks Off Monday, May 16th!
 

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Sweet, cant wait! :cheers:

I may actually come out this year and play.

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.

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. :)

only 4 more days!!

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

EXCITED! :)

yah baby.....


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

:cool2:

Are there new DGOD!tags yet???

Any word on this?

Cindy :)

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:


Cindy :)

Not sure... got to ask Mr. Brown

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. :)
