Spokane weeklies?

[Gordy #21004]

I spoke with Tony today. He ran weeklies for the Club through the month of October and will report back to the Club. He told me that Cody had continued running events at various times into the winter months. Its possible that Cody ran the event this past Sunday but I don't really know. It's possible that the event was held because someone thought that's what they planned to do all along without being aware of this discussion we are having lately. I don't believe we need to chastise someone just yet while our plate of facts is still a little light. I do think we need to make the effort to include Cody in this conversation considering he has made an effort to keep Weeklies going. Once everyone is reorganized and understands what everyone else is handling this will become very plain for all to see.....I will talk to Tony again tomorrow and will report back here with more detail from him. Can someone talk to Cody and get some feedback on how he's doing and and on what he's accomplished?

Gordy, no chastisement was intended for anyone. Just an effort to hook up the people running events with the proper paperwork.

Yes, he can be added to the list. I should also add Cory Davis to this list.

I talked to Tony this afternoon. He ran the events through the first time it snowed hard around the end of October. He conducted about seven events and averaged about 10 players per. He has approximately $70 in Ace Pot in hand and the same in player fees for the Club...... Kevin talked to Cody this morning and Cody is going to jump on this thread and fill us in on his progress......... Tony will come to the Open Board meeting on Tuesday; it would be nice if Cody and the fellas who jumped in this weekend to help are on hand as well. I know that Justin, Bob and myself will also be there. Thanks to all who are willing to buy into our Weeklies protocol. Gordy

So does that mean there is actually a $270 club ace pot?

[jshrack]

Please, do NOT just run an event without notifying Bob.
Please, do NOT just run an unscheduled event.
The event this Sunday undermined a club event that had been planned for weeks.
It also had an Ace Pot that the club was sponsoring without knowledge or authorization.
Probably not the best situation...

As for the Ace Pot, I will post that information when it is verified from Lyle and we have discussed the appropriate dispersion of the funds.

Everyone has been doing the right thing or is doing the right thing now. Once we get our protocol settled, then we can start smackin' on each other again ..

One of the items we will be discussing at the SDGA Board meeting on Feb. 1, 2011 will be consistency concerning the SDGA Weekly tournaments. We would like to have those people that run scheduled weekly events for the SDGA to attend this meeting so that we may get everyone on the same page.

While the board meeting is open to all SDGA members, we are asking the weekly TD's to come to this meeting so that we may get their input. Those TD's are;

• Gordy Crafts
• Bob Perrewe
• Lyle Parks
• Joe Royer
• Joe Barnett
• Steve Simmons
• Tony Costanzo
• Justin Shrack
• Cory Davis
• Cody Miller
• Interested parties

This meeting will be held at Stadium Pizza at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011.

!!! See you there !!!

[jshrack]

I have talked to Lyle, Cody, and Bob.

We will be hosting the scheduled DOWNRIVER singles tomorrow at 10:30am.
Tee off will be as prompt as possible, please show up a little early.
There will be a $150 ACE POT for this event.

Don't forget to follow this up with Stimpi Ridge's event at 2pm!

Sunday's event will be HIGHBRIDGE doubles at noon.
Tee off will be prompt with another guaranteed $150 ACE POT.

Because of logistical problems the ACE POT will be available for payouts at Sunday's event.
Either Lyle will show with the funds on Sunday or I will make sure to pick them up prior to Doubles.

Hope to see you all there!!!
ps. I'm gonna bring the video camera so you should bring your 'A' game.

The Handicap tournament scheduled at 4 Mound for 2/6/11 which is SBS has been canceled so that we won't miss the game.

The next scheduled Handicap will be held on Saturday 2/19/11 @ 11:00 am.

Cole, I figured this would hold you over a couple extra days.

I dig the Peter, Bjorn & John.

Kept on coming up on tom's ipod.
Figured it fit. I repeated the intro too long though.
always learning.

[jshrack]

Woot!
This weekend weeklies are all messed up!
Saturday Downriver will be cancelled. Go play the Chilly Bowl!

Sunday Singles will be a ONE DISC WONDER event.
Sunday Singles at Highbridge will be at an early 10am. One round, $150 ace pot.
This will allow travel to any Super Bowl events after the round without time pressure.

Bring ONLY ONE DISC (and a marker); don't bring a back-up, or a putter, or an exact replica, you get one disc on the course.

The Board talked about the Ace Pot last night at the meeting. Here are what we came to agree upon.

People's Park, 4 Mound and Stimpi Ridge have their own separate Ace Pots.

Weeklies held at Downriver and High Bridge have a combined Ace Pot.

The Spokane Disc Golf Association does not run an Ace Pot, the TD's that run the events are responsible for the Ace Pot.

The SDGA does not provide seed money to kick start the Ace Pot.

The Ace Pot is capped at $150.

There must be a minimum of four people playing in the weekly event to collect the Ace Pot.

[Parks]

I'm a little late on this, but I just wanted to check in on some of the discussion that I missed regarding ace pots.

This sounds good, except it sounds like this would lump together the regular DR/HB weekly ace pot with the DR glow ace pot? The two events have very different players.

This seems reasonable.

I agree that the SDGA shouldn't be guaranteed to put forth any money for an event, but I think that this should be on an event-by-event basis. If we think we can make a good amount of money off a weekly, then I think its reasonable to consider seeding an ace pot or even guaranteeing a minimum. For example, the SDGA put forth the seed money and guaranteed $50 minimum for the events that Joe Royer started and I ran last year, and the SDGA made over $1000 off those events.

I was kind of curious as to why this isn't left up to the TD. There were times last year where I had accumulated a $500+ ace pot and I raised the cap to $200, always making sure to announce it the week before to draw more players. However, if I only had $150 in my acepot, then a $100 cap made a lot more sense. Essentially, the TD just needs to make sure that they don't get cleaned out of their ace pot if 2-3 aces are hit in a row.

This is absolutely reasonable. Generally, if I had less than 6 people show then I wouldn't even run an event.
