West Side and East Side Qualifier at Water Works league, May 9th.

Expect to play rain or shine at WW league. 'Cause it doesn't look like Mother Nature is going to cooperate on Thursday. However, we must get this qualifier done this week.  So bring your rain gear and your game to earn a spot on your respective team.  Spread the word and see you there.

I hope the captains can each post their team members list a few day before the event. It will be interesting to look at the match-ups in advance.

Complete teams will be announced a few days after the final qualifiers;  Captains have to round up their picks and such. This year and going forward, we will not be creating match ups until moments before each round starts.

Yes, 6:00 start. I'll give it a go as long it is not pouring rain. Otherwise, well, it's just not recreational.

EAST SIDE=We play in the rain, we play in the snow, we play when its cold,

is that so?

How many 1000 rated golfers in KS right now?  How many in MO right now?

In KC area;  Zero, both sides.

So let's dig a little deeper, shall we. 

Population at 2010 census:
MO: 6,011,478 - 2013 Registered disc golf Pros: 28. Of those, only 7 are from the KC area. In misery, only 4 from KC area are ranked in the top 15 based on ratings.

KS: 2,863,813 - 2013 Registered disc golf Pros: 28. Of those, 18 are from the KC area. In Kansas, 8 from the KC area are ranked in the top 15 based on ratings.

Kansas more than doubles the rate of registered pros than misery.  And the bulk of Kansas pros are in the KC area. 

I recognize names from KC area on both sides on the am ratings lists. I'm sure we'll be seeing them in our battle of the border.

my point is, what's your point, jack?  misery = epic fail?

Ryan please get shirt sizes and money from each qualifier.  I'd also suggest compiling a contact info list of each player on your team.

Who is this Everyone that likes the backwards set-up you speak of?

I'm not Everyone, but I am Someone, and I'm a traditionalist that likes the normal set-up, and can even tolerate some added OB lines!

See title of event.  It is Wacko, not traditional.

For some reason Google has put kcfdc.org on it's badware blacklist.  The site has to be removed from that blacklist. They won't update the blacklist until kcfdc.org can prove the site isn't serving up badware.

OK - sorry, but what are Cali rules?

A Cali player is entitled to throw twice from a single lie of his choosing for each hole. The cali player chooses which of the two shots to continue play from. An ace from the tee box is an ace (regardless if it is the cali player's first or second shot from the tee).

WYCO / Wacko Wyco Summer Solstice Doubles - Friday June 21st

« on: April 30, 2013, 03:06:24 PM »

Celebrate the celestial start of Summer on Friday, June 21st at the sumtinth annual Wacko Wyco Summer Solstice Doubles. 

What's the same:
- Most people seem to enjoy the backwards layout, so I'll set that up again this year.
- BYO BBQables and beverages.  I'll get coals going by 5:00.
 
What's different:
Two formats available (no subdivisions will be created)
 - Cali (each player follows Cali rules) - entry $20 per person.
 - Random draw partners doubles - $10 per person

General information:
Signup by 6:00pm. Partners will be drawn and holes assigned immediately after 6:00pm. This is a hard cut-off time.  If you aren't signed up by then and want to play, you'll have to pony up to play in the Cali format.  No exceptions!  We will start play by 6:20.

This is not a KCFDC league and will not have the Wyco ace fund in play.  As such, payout will be 100% of entry and will payout ~40% of each field.

Since this information was relayed in a fashion that this Event Director is comfortable with, then  !

It is up to the TD to make a judgment call as to the reason the DNF took place.  As far as turning in cards late, sure, since it's not event critical to have them "on time."  But it's too easy to just walk away when a bad round is to be put on record.  Another reason these PDGA leagues for player ratings are sketchy, in my opinion.   But it's good the league attendance is up.  (maybe the increase is because the Team Challenge is scheduled for two rounds at Cliff?)

Notice the strike through, so I put in his information.  I did the best i could with Timmisch as he said that they all played so poorly they left....why we couldn't find them at the end of our round.....
