General Banter / Re: Why did you join the KCFDC?

« on: April 02, 2013, 11:58:13 AM »

Part of the club is the leagues.

I've never been a fan of leagues.  Not a fan of the, 'pay your dues' mentality.  I joined a disc club, not a fraternity.

Played league in Lawrence and wasn't overly impressed. 

Played couple of times at Swope and was a little more impressed just because Van has it nailed down.

This PDGA league that Jack has, I'm digging it.  While the kinks are still being worked out, for me it is worth the league buy-in even if I don't win any KC Kash.  When I do win, it is totally a bonus - but not a reason to play.

Maybe a possibility to grow the KCFDC, and/or grow the commitment level of those that are members, is to explore more PDGA leagues.

Note: points are per week, not for the whole season.

Actually, this makes it more interesting.
First week, I would get only 2.5 pts because I was the bottom.
However, for 2nd week, I should get 5 pts because I beet Ryan.

Jack - maybe Kevin McCoy has some advice, etc., on how this is posted?  Maybe my posting above,

At first I thought it ranked all those that played 5 rounds together, than ranked those that played 4 rounds, etc., but this isn't quite the case.  In Adv, first guy played 6 rounds, second place played 4 rounds, third place played 5 rounds.

has more to do with how many people you beat each week then how many rounds you played.  This would make way more sense.

Wait, you can accumulate points at these?  What is the point scale? Are they classified as C-tiers?

Yes you get points.
No they are not C-tiers
They are a step below C's.  See last column.

Yeah, I have no idea how it works, but I think there is something missing.

For instance, let's say Jason Gillow never plays again in Advance.  Since he had one round at +20, or 21 whatever it is, does he take First Place, along with the points, compared to Andy, Ryan and I even if we play every round?  Or how about he ends up playing 4 rounds, but some other guy only plays 2 rounds, shouldn't Jason get more points then the other guy?

This league posting is interesting.  Not sure if it is correct, but check out the placements, points, etc., particularly in Adv and Int.

Probably read this, but just in case: Introduction to PDGA Leagues:

If you want to ask questions about the PDGA league please feel free to visit the PDGA DISCussion Boards where I will be answering questions or email me directly at Kmccoy@PDGA.com

In my mind, if a guy plays 'Open' he's MPO.  If he wants to play Am - then he plays AM and is only entitled to funny money and not actual hard currency.  Just my opinion, you're the TD.

OB killed me at Jones.  For 2012, I had my worst rated round at Jones on Friday, and my highest rated round at Muni on Sunday, even with the super duper killer winds.  Luckily that flying cow just missed us.

Keep in mind, I am a solidly Rec rated player.

It's been 20 years, which is plenty of time to learn how to count time-outs. Go Blue!

YES!! I talk about this every time I watch Mich play.

Good job Webber.
