Lawrence PDGA League - Centennial Chain Crashers

[robm]

Starting Monday, June 2nd, I will be running a PDGA sanctioned league at Lawrence Centennial.  Sign up at 5:45, tee off as soon as cards are done.

There will be four divisions offered:


Pro: $5. $1 PDGA fee, $4 to cash payout

Amateur: $5. $1 PDGA fee, $4 towards payout redeemable at Drop Zone Extreme Sports

Woman: $5. $1 PDGA fee, $4 towards payout redeemable at Drop Zone Extreme Sports

Recreational: $2, No Payout ($1 PDGA, $1 admin costs)

Optional Ace Fund all division — $1 additional


League amateur / woman payouts are paid as Lawrence Loot which is redeemable at Drop Zone Extreme Sports located at 811 E. 23rd Street, Lawrence, KS. Drop Zone carries Innova discs, hats, bags and other equipment.  I am not an employee of Drop Zone.  My desire was to find a local retailer in Lawrence to work with using a similar format as the KCFDC league system of pros and amateurs.

If you think you may show up at this league sometime in the first few weeks, please let me know along with your PDGA number.  It will help me get things rolling and update results faster.

Thanks

Rob, will this be every week...or just some select weeks? 
Thanks.

Every week for the next 10 weeks.  Towards the end of the 10 week period, if the interest is still strong, I'll keep it going for a bit longer.

Little note - I started this league because my first experiences of playing league was frustrating.  I rarely quite knew what was going on, felt like I was in the dark, and when I did finally started to figure it out, I realized I was always in last place.  With two great experiences with PDGA leagues - Cliff Drive last year and the Wandering Wednesday this year, I wanted to combine both that experience along with a more welcoming experience for new players.  The former is easy - you get a rating.  The later was more about bringing a greater variety of divisions (Rec and Women) and using Am Cash to push the more competitive people up to Open.

Both goals were already met this evening.  We had enough people to create ratings for the round, and it was a great pleasure to award Am Cash (Lawrence Loot) to a player that wasn't expecting to receive anything.  While I wasn't able to play, it was a great evening.

9 players, only one rated above 900 and the PDGA will give you ratings for the night, that's amazing. Can we sanction beer league?

[robm]

We are getting noticeable rain in Lawrence. The course can get pretty bad when it rains. I'll show up but plan on telling people to take the night off.
