Actually Scott only 4 are for payout 2 are for other "full field" games or revenue producers. Anyway, it seems inconsistent to give baskets to select divisions over others.

+ It's kinda crappy to win an event and get only a basket while the rest get to chose their winnings. Normally Winners don't need baskets They should actually go to the DFL's cause they can use the practice.

At CSI I tired and succeeded to encourage more ladies to play. There were 8 Open ladies and 4 Ams Not bad for a little C tier.

it's because anybody can go out and get a basket. but not anybody can go out and get a 1st place ADV trophy. the trophy is something special, a basket is not as special in my opinon. but this is coming from a guy that has 3 baskets (homemade but still baskets) and no trophys (yet!)

Now things are coming together. tee signs, scorecards, I put flags on the baskets we will be playing, lots of sponsorship. super cool ant discs. and registration will be close to or over 100 with the next update.

Never played the alt 27. lets just say its one of the best and it is very long. Over 10,000 feet. In order to alleviate fivesomes and 6 hour round. I may send pro's out group by group (groups of 4) on hole 1 and ams out group after group on hole 16. this will alleviate fivesomes and shorten the round. It will work if needed.
Hope to see ya all at the spring classic next week. peace

i waited as long as i could to send it in. then of course on the day that the online opens i had already dropped it in the mail. I see that it is now filling fast and i want to assure that i had a spot via mail in. IO dont wanna have to sign up online and pay twice. what should i do.
Hopeful;ly this timestamp will help.

i agree, i think the winner should get a basket AND a trophy. i also agree with jub that the gals should get a basket AT LEAST! we need to be giving the women in tournaments BETTER trohpys and prizes than the men, so that we get more women coming out.

I completely agree, look at Oregon, I'm so jealous, women's only tourneys, we need to find a way to draw more women in our state to the sport!

all it will take to get a womens disc golf movment going here is a few motivated and organized women that want to start something. there are quite a few women disc golfers out and about, but they need somebody to step up and start organizing a event for just them. even if you get one dedicated lady from each course and have them organize a womens only weekly round or even doubles if you get enough, that would start to make a great impact on the number of ladies that play in PDGA tournaments.

my wife plays and she is really good, but unfortuately she isnt the type of personalty that organizes events, we need some women that are great organizers to get some leagues going.

and for all us guys, we need to be supporting these ladies that want to make something happen in disc golf for the women. weather that would be donating time, money, prizes or just encouragment.

Do what they did here in Oregon, they started small with the casual chicks-only gatherings. Once those were established, they had many willing hands to help out with the tournament. At least that's my take on it.

I got all excited when I learned that I could win a basket!! I would much rather play for the basket than script, a ziplock of pre-selected crapola, or a cheesy trophy... -- I could then have one at home and one at work! If you want the trophy, win the basket and decorate it as one--


Jub, you're such a ladies man, always looking out for the best interest of the girls-- play on PLAYA!!
I would think that women would be more inclined to participate if they were encouraged by other ladies, not by 'incentives' from crusty old men like Jub... I strongly agree that doing things like the 'chick-flick' would be a good way to recruit more dedicated female players. All jokes aside, I agree that the girls deserve a basket as well.... a laundry basket that is-- perhaps part of the players' pack(the Spring Clean)? JUST KIDDING-- don't get your panties in a bind Tuffi...

don't like my jokes? Call 1-800-UGO-GIRL

[desert_heat20]

Thanks guys

[tikidiscer]

Anybody putting together friday doubles?

[sk8architecture]

Just checked the players list and there are 151 players signed up. I thought it was limited to 135 am I missing something....

[LJ Jubner]

Depends on the (format) Layout

NW SE is the only way

[#7558]

Its true. NW and SE courses will be played. players will be playing in 4somes on two different courses. this will make things run much smoother. with no 6 hours rounds. No change to check in time. Same format as years past. two rounds sat one on sun. Sat 2nd round tee will be at 2pm. everyone should wrap up by 4:30 or five sat. and much earlier on sun.

sorry for the change and confusion. I got zero updates from pdga online on sunday. then yesterday I got two days worth, 30 more pushing the field to 151. every division will be larger w/more payout.

tee signs are done for the new format. 10 meter lines around all 36 baskets with arrows pointing to next tee will be done by fri.

Peace

[#7558]

The 6 baskets were not free. they cost over $500 shipped. Ive got to pick someone to give them to. So i choose the winners of the largest am divisions. or should i give them to 2nd place? that would not fly to well.
Also, who said the basket takes place of a trophy. 1st place winners will still receive trophies. if tyvek wins, his basket goes to 2nd place.

dave stewart was added along with 31 others last night.

see ya sat.

Way to roll with the punches, Ray. Sounds like you immediately and flawlessly turned the PDGA's setbacks into lemonade.

... and maybe Toby's "cheesy trophy" should be similarly reallocated.

You are appreciated by many, Ray.

[Toby Puttzinski]

I was not insinuating that Ray's trophies were cheesy-- I appreciate Ray's efforts as much as anyone... Ray has always been accomodating, and he has been quite flexible for team "Fashionably Late", whenever we show up to a doubles tourney at '2 minutes!!!'

Sorry, just not much of a trophy guy-- not one to display my own trophies, so they just go in a box>> but a basket would get used and shown to friends-- whoever wins it can say, "I got this for winning my division at the Spring Classic!!"
I just wanted to make the point that I liked BASKETS AS PRIZES... WOOHOO!!!
Ok, if I want to have any chance to win that basket this weekend, I better go putt-- off to the fourth floor at work to practice 30 footers--

[LJ Jubner]

I will say most tournamnets do have cheesy trophies. Photoshoped Pic dollar store frame. If not cheesy then low budget for sure.

$500 bucks for 6 mach Lites Uh but still if you value them at retail it's over $800 sounds like added cash to me for someone.
