2011 Washington State Series - Washington Events

Rideout · #1 September 17th, 2010, 02:24 PM

So it’s time to start planning for the 2011 Washington State Series. I will not be a coordinator for the series next year. I will help everyone that wants to be involved next year to get the ball rolling.

Everyone who wants to help plan and run the 2011 Washington State Series needs to send me their name and email address. Post it on this forum thread, send me a PM, or send me an email at mikerideout@challengediscgolf.com .

On September 30th I will send out an email to everyone who has responded and I will send out the email to everyone that has been involved in 2010. This email will explain how we will have our discussion until a new state coordinator is elected.

There will only be one topic discussed: Who will be the Washington State Series coordinator for 2011. People involved will be able to nominate themselves or someone else in the group for the position. The election for the series coordinator will take place October 8th – 10th. Everyone involved will be able to vote. Majority wins.

I will then transfer all info I have to the new state coordinator (budget, results, bank account info, ECT). Then I will be done with the state series.

It’s been fun, I hope there are others ready to get involved and I hope some of the same people involved in 2010 will continue their hard volunteer work into 2011.

You can add me back on the list. I am ready willing and able to particpate.

The only problem I see is the voting period is the same weekend as F.Z.D.

Rideout · #3 September 17th, 2010, 03:01 PM

Cool Jub, I put you on the list. Same email address?

I will extend the date until October 13th. This should give everyone plenty of time to vote, because you're right; I don't want to run the election during a big event.

The election process will run from October 8th - 13th.

Yup and I am glad to help anyway I can

If everyone feels that I've done an adequate job maintaining the points for the series I would take care of them for the 2011 season. I'd also like to report the amounts of cash accrued at each tournament and the totals for the whole series. This would bring a level of transparency the players deserve but have not had in past years.

LJ Jubner · #6 September 18th, 2010, 12:46 PM

I am sure your experience will once again prove helpfull, Bob

Sounds good Bob! You do a great job with the points and I would love to see you more involved with the numbers.

Have the 2010 series points been published? I went to the website (https://sites.google.com/site/2010washingtonstateseries/) but didn't see anything.

I asked the same question on the 2010 Thread.

Looks like it is all there to me, just needs the final event points from this past weekend? Am I missing something...

Rideout · #14 September 30th, 2010, 09:21 PM

Sorry about that guys. I have emailed Bob, who has been imputing the points, and he should be taking care of it soon.

The results for the WSSC are attached below.

I've also included the WSS Qualifiers Final Results as a separate attachment.

Thanks to those that helped keep the Washington State Series alive in 2010.

Krabs won Open not Holley right?

Kenny B · #17 October 4th, 2010, 11:50 AM

For whoever is going to determine the points scheme for the 2011 Wasington State Series, here is my plea: THROW AWAY THE BOTTOM-UP SYSTEM USED IN THE 2010 SEREIS AND REPLACE IT WITH A TOP DOWN SYSTEM!

I said last year (in the 2010 thread) before the series started that the system used for 2010 needed to be changed. Giving 100 points to last and 100 points + 1 point for each competitor to first is horrible (this is a bottom up system). A top down system gives 100 points to the winner, 99 to 2nd, 98 to 3rd, and so on.

The proof that I am right has now come in. For the 2010 Open division, Kyle Crabtree and Aaron Holley have apparently tied for first in the series with 471 points. Congrats to both of them on well played tournaments; I have the utmost respect for both of these players and will always strive to reach their level of play. However (with no disrespect to Aaron), In the Series tournaments Kyle finished 1st (championships), 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 6th; and Aaron finished 2nd (championships), 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th.

So, I dare someone to try and defend this tie and the bottom-up points system.

Hypothetical situation.....if Kyle and Aaron had tied for 2nd in the championships, then Aaron would have won the series without winning any tournaments in the series while beating a player who had won 3 of the series tournaments.

I agree Kenny.

I think you should get on board with the 2011 series and help with the point system.

Thanks Chris. I have been thinking about getting more involved, but didn’t end up sending my name to Rideout. I think Bob put together a really great report for the 2010 points and it’s great that he’s volunteered to do it again for 2011, so I’m not sure that there is much for me to add there (other than pushing for a top down points system).

Rideout · #20 October 6th, 2010, 09:44 AM

Hey Kenny, it's not too late to get involved. Just say the word and I'll send you the invite.

Although the vote on this won't be officially over until next Wednesday, so far, it looks like Jub will be the coordinator in 2011. Normally I wouldn't put a prediction like this out there, but nobody else wants the job so it's easy to guess who will win the election.
