Posting of Tournament Results

[ck34]

The speed of turnaround depends on whether Dave Gentry is in the office and processing reports that day. He's usually posted them within a week if he's not doing them the day you send it.

[md21954]

but you can post the results right away, correct?

[LouMoreno]

When you do that, your scores will be updated to the British Open page also.

[ck34]

but you can post the results right away, correct?

Yes, in terms of uploading scores, which is a great service to players who like to see the results and unofficial ratings ASAP. I meant the official results are posted by Dave within a week so players know the report is in the hopper for official points and getting ratings in the next update.

I just ran my first tourny, sent electronic TD report in and it was posted the very next day

In answer to the question of posting unofficial results, the PDGA should send you an email with a link and password.

If you go to that link and enter the password, it allows you to set up your tournament online so the players list and results are available from the PDGA tour page.

You need to define layouts for each course or variation of a course for ratings to be calculated correctly.

For example:

If your event uses 2 courses and all divisions play from the same tees to the same pin locations in all rounds, you only need to defin 2 layouts.

If you use 2 courses, but some of the pins or tees move in every round, you will need more layouts.

In round 1,
The Pros play on course 1 with all long tees and long pins
The Adv play on course 2 with all long tees and long pins
The Int play on course 1 with short tees and long pins
The Rec play on course 2 with short tees and long pins

That's 4 layouts.

In round 2 the Pros and Adv swap, and the Int and Rec swap.
The layouts are already defined, nothing needs to be added.
Except that there is one hole across a pond where the Rec players tee from a temporary tee.

One more layout needs to be added.

For round 3,
The Pros are on course 1 with long tees and short pins
The Adv are on course 2 with long tees and short pins
The Int are on course 1 with short tees and short pins
The Rec are on course 2 with short tees and short pins.

add 4 more layouts.

For round 4 every body swaps, and the over the pond shot is easier to the short pin, so no temp pin is needed.

You end up with 9 layouts.
Course 1 - long to long
Course 2 - long to long
Course 1 - long to short
Course 2 - long to short
Course 1 - short to long
Course 2 - short to long
Course 1 - short to short
Course 2 - short to short
Course 1 - Rec

When you know what divisions are playing which layouts in which rounds, you can click on the rating tab and select a layout for each division for each round. Well, select a layout for each division in one round and then click the update button. The update button only applies to the round currently displayed.

The players can be uploaded to the web page as registrations come in so that players can preview the players list. This also gives the TD a little practice uploading information to the site.

If there are any last minute changes to the division/layout adjust the ratings tab, upload the scores, and it is live.

It takes a little practice to get it down, but it goes very smoothly once you get used to it.

I don't allow public slandering of TDs on the MADC site, if you have something to say to them, have the decency to go to them directly. There is no need to be confrontational anyway. C’mon folks! This isn’t the Iraqi War we’re talking about here, it’s PDGA points for Pete's sake!

Once again we see the world according to Nick Kight, but as usual it doesn't pertain to Nick himself.

If Nick wants to 'slander' a TD that doesn't give enough (in his opinion) added cash to the masters division that's fine.

If Nick wants to be confrontational with someone that prefers to keep the 2m rule as it was, that's fine.

What a tool.

[timherring]

Thanks everyone, as this is my first pdga event i am green, but thanks for all the pointers they are very useful and i shall peruse at my leisure. Thanks Chuck it was the rated rounds that everyone is curious about as the scores are on my website and the sndg site, so as i have sent in my international TD report i shall have to sit back and be patient for Dave to work his magic. I shouldn't worry when i don't hear back that all is well.

Example of something that would not be said to my face...

Plays well to the bored mess i di o ts.

osama bin nick, once again proving that he holds himself above the rules he imposes on others.

[neonnoodle]

Pat, proving again that he has a special thing for me...

I can absolutely guarantee that any statement I make on this or any other message board would also be made to your face. I'm willing to bet that would hold true for Dan Howard, Pat, and many others on here too.

It is Friday night and Jon posted results from the tournament we ran THIS weekend six hours ago. We ran a free trophy-only tournament today for club members only. We had about 23 play in two divisions. Terry Miller won open. Brett Comincioli won advanced. Terry Miller won the putting contest. Dan Michler won the distance driving competition.

There is no need to be confrontational anyway.

did Nick really just say that?

I don't get it, why does everything need to turn into an argument on the discussion board?


Without Nick, Jeannie's question could have gotten a good answer within a dozen posts, but Nick needs to drag things out again. Why Nick, why?

Why can't you give a simple answer? Is there some kind of mental disease that prohibits that?



Your answer to a simple question was basically this:

Remember, running events is not a paid job, it is a very thoughtful and expensive (in more than one way) "GIFT" to you and the sport. Be appreciative first and nudge them to do the right thing "in private" rather than a "good ol' DISCussion Board Witch Hunt".

I have contacted the TD and local club, we should see results soon. If not private nudges might turn into private shoving...

But, all you should have done was this:


"Jeannie, I know this can be frustrating. However, I have contacted the TD and local club, we should see results soon."


Why Nick, why....why do you treat everyone like a *******? Giving us the whole blablabla about TD's not being paid. How many people don't know that? Give Jeannie some credit before you belittle her. It has been over 2 months....she has every right to post this question here.

And of course, I expect a complete analysis of my post, and why I am wrong, again (of course)....and why you are right - of course.

Anyone know what the rules are as far as reporting the results of a PDGA event? I was in a B tier on June 18 and the results still haven't been submitted to the PDGA.

Hi Jeannie! It was fun meeting you at Flagstaff. Tell Adam to keep shaking it.

[Jeannie]

Hey Rhett! I had a great time hanging with you and Lauri. Please tell her I said hello! Playing with her will be one of the lasting memories of worlds for me. What a kind person she is!
Recognize my avatar? I have a new one coming of you. J/K LOL Wish I got one of Adam too. That Yvonne is one amazing lady

[rhett]

Recognize my avatar? I have a new one coming of you. J/K LOL

Glad you're kidding. All I ever needed to know about dancing I learned in 7th grade...

That Yvonne is one amazing lady

Yvonne is a hoot. There's no other way to put it.

[ck34]

That's a move to post scores up high...

[ck34]

Probably should be posted in the Am Worlds link but here's Jeannie a little high... Jeannie

[rhett]

I thought it was going to be a pic of you two dancing!

[ck34]

She never would dance.

[Jeannie]

Dang! You could have at least posted one where I made the put!!

[girlie]

Cute skirt!

[Jeannie]

And not a very flattering pic, I might add... Does my as* really look that big. I am hoping it is just the angle

[ck34]

It's probably just the altitude...

[Jeannie]

LMFAO That was a great excuse for everything wasn't it

[august]

I was in a hot tub in Flagstaff once many years ago and the weight of the water on my chest combined with the thin air had me gasping for breath. I can only imagine the difficulty of trying to play disc golf up there and hiking up those mountains - all in thin air!

I thought that is what I said. I think this is more of a 50/50 miscommunication, where you guys are looking for trouble from me, when my intended message was more of patience and moderation in public discussion of this sort (criticizing organizers).

At any rate, I don't think Jeannie meant to bash the TDs of that event, she's always been appreciative of their efforts; I just, admittedly, have a short fuse for stuff that smell like TD bashing. I'll watch that.

At any rate, seems like Jeannie and crew set the new gold standard for scoring process at the Skylands. I know I was taking notes as were a bunch of other TDs and organizers.

[Jeannie]
