Another update this Tuesday

[D-Walk]

Up another 15 to 846.

[Jester]

+8 to 931.....I am almost an advanced player!

[Darr]

+10 to 928 I seem to be on a steady rise.
Almost in the top 50 in Oregon, and almost offically advanced.

[Fridgecat]

From 0 to 922! Pretty Good Jump this time! I won't have such high expectations for the next update

All you have to do is contact the PDGA and let them know of the mistake and it will be fixed. Not very difficult to do.

[Sausage Fingers]

Clawed my way back up to 930...

For MA1's
42 shot worse in the rain on Sunday
24 shot better
7 the same

Same thing happened at the Memorial, the first round was a disaster, weather wise with 35 mph winds, then the 3rd round was super easy with very little wind and both got the same rating calculations. I did ask "mr know it all" from the PDGA and he said something like the average score or standard deviation was not much different between the rounds so they kept the round ratings the same. Said it had to be like 2 or 3 strokes different before getting a different calculation for ratings and it was just shy of 2 if I'm correct. I fought the good fight trying to get a different calculation but in the end it made enough sense... The rain during the 3rd round was steady but it wasn't enough to really change the outcome overall much...

Thanks for the info Snap.
I brought it up on the principal of the system.
Actual numbers: MA1 avg east course Saturday (sunshine) 68.95, Sunday (rain) 70.25. Surprisingly the other pool was much closer Saturday (sunshine) 76.68, Sunday (rain) 77.04
Only players who completed all rounds used in calculations.

On average I'll bet players will play either course closer to 2 strokes worse in steady rain versus sunshine. My two cents

[Wes Hansen]

Up 15 to equal my PB from 3 years ago.
Fewer rounds and most at Milo helped.

I sent in a couple emails for about 6 weeks and it finally got resolved went up 10 points to 968. WOO HOO

[RonTheWhip]

Only down 1 point, not bad considering my lack of stellar play since the last update. Now have 94 rounds in my rating, the most I've ever had, and maybe will ever have.

I reloaded the results for the Oregon Pride and they went up a few points for each round after everyone's new ratings.
