All these statistics don't really matter in the long term, since in each instance it is only one player who will win in each division. Statistics don't work well with small numbers. For example, do the reverse logic, and try to construe Climo's career as a characteristic measure of the typical Florida disc golfer...it's totally skewed.

No, it only changes the SSA.

But, the California disc golfer doesn't think of a tree as a disc catching device, like a NC disc golfer does...but guys like Nate Doss spend a lot of time playing east coast rules and can easily adjust, and still dominate.
