It is just sad that we have this amazing event going on that is sponsored and run by the PDGA and the website that is intended to provide the information about the competitors and competition is inadequate to either handle the load or is so intertwined with bugs and software glitches that it is unreliable.
We had issues with the website during the Fling and we were unable to upload scores and tee times in a reasonable amount of time due to server issue, downtime on the website for software fixes and who knows what else. Brian Graham said the expectation to post those items on the PDGA site was unreasonable and was never the intention. So I guess the national tour events that are also sponsored by the PDGA and is the highest level of competition are also not under the umbrella of protection of the PDGA as a priority.
How can the PDGA realistically call this a website. What is our current membership like 15,000 and lifetime of 47,000. Even if the website was to experience double or triple this amount it should still be able to handle the load. I mean heck the Victoria Secret website didn't crash during their live showing until into the millions of instantaneous users hit the site trying to watch the same live showing.
Heck for the amount of money we spent on the website we could have outsourced the work and had enough money left over with which the PDGA could have invest significantly more into the grass roots campaign they were talking about.
