What discs do most people use for MTA and whats involved with the Accuracy contest?

most people use a fastback or a very light lynx. there will be plenty out there for everyone to use as RADL has some and lots of golfers like Kirk and I will use them. There is a basic strategy for throwing MTA and I will be glad to show you how to do it while we are out there.

The accuracy uses Zephyrs and these are provided by RADL

always a fun event...

who will be the 1st to break 40 at middle creek?

interested to see how 4 - 5 will play

who will be the 1st to break 40 at middle creek?





Wow, I don't think its that easy.

ok... we'll see what happens when TThe Pro gets 3 cracks at it

ok... we'll see what happens when TThe Pro gets 3 cracks at it



He's playing the yetter that weekend.

However, I do think that course sets up really really well for him.

think so? thumber, hyzer, anny shark

Exactly my point :D

or mine of sub 40

What discs do most people use for MTA and whats involved with the Accuracy contest?


Light Condor or Lynx is fine for MTA in decent wind, but FB6 is my weapon of choice for almost any conditions. Zephyr & Ultrastar are cool for accuracy, but those in the know go for an ancient-skool Apple. Sooooo sweet & straight.

I do believe we are using the Zephyr.

603.01 Accuracy:

* A. Play: A player shall make four throws from each station for a total of 28 throws, with the objective to have as many throws as possible pass through the target area. He or she shall complete all four throws at each station before moving on to the next station. The stations may be carried out in any order. No one may be positioned in or near the target. However, a person may be designated to assist in retrieving thrown discs.
* B. Discs: The player shall provide at least four of his or her own discs as per section 602.01. It is advised that an additional disc be available in the event of damage to one of the discs.
* C. Time: A total of 7 minutes shall be allowed for completion of the 28 attempts. A time warning shall be given at 1 minute remaining. Any throw which is released after the expiration of the 7 minute period shall be deemed an unsuccessful throw.
* D. Foul: No supporting point of the player shall rest on or beyond the foul lines or their extensions at the moment of his or her release. A follow-through motion which crosses the foul line after the release is permissible. Any foul shall count as an unsuccessful throw.
* E. Good Throw: A good throw shall be made whenever the thrown disc passes entirely through the target plane from front to back and a foul or time violation is not committed.
* F. Scoring: A good throw shall count as one point. An unsuccessful throw shall receive no points.

602.01 Discs: A player may use one or more of any type of flying disc, so long as they meet the minimum requirements set forth in Article I of the WFDF rules and the specific requirements for accuracy in paragraph 602.01(A). The discs need not be identical.

* A. Special Restrictions: For game design and safety considerations, discs in accuracy play must meet both the W.F.D.F. general disc specifications (section 107) and these additional specifications:
o (1) Rim configuration: must achieve a rim configuration rating of 75 or greater (may NOT be beveled - see section 108 [D]).
o (2) Leading edge radius: must have a leading edge radius that is greater than 1/16 in (1.6 mm) (see section 108[E]).
o (3) Weight: must weigh no more than 6.7 gm per cm of outside diameter.
o (4) Rigidity: must not exceed 89.3 N (9.1 kg / 20 lbs.) of pressing force as measured by the flexibility testing procedure (see section 108[F]).

So long story short you can use your own discs as long as you can provide enough to complete the event. The disc can not have a beveled edge.

RADL will have enough zephyrs for accuracy that people can use for the event but players are able to bring their own discs as long as they meet the requirements and they can complete the event in the allotted time. I would suggest having 28 of the discs to ensure you can meet the time allowed.

Here is a quick overview of the course from an google. This is an approximation and works well for getting around the course. Distances of lines on the map are likely not "accurate".

Wasn't sure where to post this so you would see it.........



HAPPY BIRTHDAY EL CAPITAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

good pics... any idea what the ToTal distance is? 4800?

good pics... any idea what the ToTal distance is? 4800?



That's pretty close I would guess. I just ran through and did an estimated distance based on my ideas and some holes that I know how far they are after asking Mike and I got roughly 5000 for the total.

I would suggest having 28 of the discs to ensure you can meet the time allowed.


No way. 4 is plenty. You can retrieve the 4 (with the help of the spotter(s)) between stations &amp; make the time <u>easily</u>.

Whether or not 4 is enough or 28 is way to much, we use 28 at this tournament.

Ok, Had to get this thread back near the top. Where is everyone at? Week and a half to go. Sign up people!

If you want to provide 28,000,000 Zephyrs, rock on. Just don't give anybody any guff when they show up with their own 4 Apples &amp; are ready to go, as they will easily be able to finish within the rules of the WFDF.

I played the front 9 for the 1st time today. Wow!! Short holes, but deadly if you miss the fairway. A good mix of lefty,righty, and thumber holes. I hope the tee on #6 is marked farther away from the tee post. I whacked my hand on it. Can't wait to play the back nine.

Tony Tomasino Sighting!!! I found a note on my truck from the T-Man. :cool:

The back nine is much much tougher.

10 is the hardest hole on the course, 11 and 12 have OB, 13 14 an 16 are tight, 17 could be a par 4 or 5 for the tournament and anything can happen on 18.

But yes, the front 9 is pretty basic. Although 9 is tough.

Wow!! Short holes





I hope the tee on #6 is marked farther away from the tee post. I whacked my hand on it.


saw this as well, luckily i didnt whack my hand. dont understand why tee signs are ever put at the front of tees. its usually worse for the lefties, righties usually dont think about their follow throughs.

The back nine is much much tougher.

10 is the hardest hole on the course, 11 and 12 have OB, 13 14 an 16 are tight, 17 could be a par 4 or 5 for the tournament and anything can happen on 18.

Where is the tee going to be for 17 to make it a par 4/5. That sounds like it could be interesting.

the pic guide on RDG shows the possible tee for the par 4. Not sure where the par 5 would be - Mike just said he and Kirk had looked at something.

Oh, I found it thanks. That does look cool but doesn't seem that much longer than the actually tee since they backed it up to the sidewalk.

Also all the dirt holes have pine straw down in the fairways and Tony was out there last night laying out rocks to designate both long and short tees.

Oh, I found it thanks. That does look cool but doesn't seem that much longer than the actually tee since they backed it up to the sidewalk.



It's about the same for #17. I actually pointed it out when we were standing at the other tee with Mike, Kevin and Craig. It's a nice shot but if you used it there would have to be a mando left of the light pole. That tee would keep it a par three. If they backed it up to the hill behind the current tee, that would make it a par four.

All tees that will be used for the NCFDC's were marked with flags the last time I was out there. I am not sure if people have moved the flags though as it has been about a week and a half since I was there. 17 will be a par 3 for the event due to the softball event going on at the same time. We are trying to stay out of the field to make sure we do not interfere.

I should make it out there tomorrow and I will try to reflag anything that is not correct. OB was partially painted on hole 5 and if possible I will touch that up tomorrow as well. Hole 6 will have OB down at the bottom in the marshy part.

The teepad for hole 6 should be far enough away from the post that nobody should hit it. I will try to make sure the flags are put out tomorrow to indicate the teepad.

All teepads will be natural except for the following holes were you will tee from concrete/asphalt.

Hole 6,8,10,15,17 have concrete/asphalt sidewalks or walking paths.

We are about halfway full right now and there is NO SATURDAY REGISTRATION!!!

If you need a place to stay Kirk has told me he still has room.

Flags have been replaced by rocks out there.

I think I'm in, Mike? ;)

yes Rocky. I paid for you. You own me 25 bux :D

Great, thanks MTL, be safe, and tell JJ to study... ;)

Check is in da mail. I'm play'n REC Rock. I'm gunn'n for ya!!! :D

Be careful TImmay, I may add you to the Milk Carton for Baggers Most wanted...LOL, besides, I wear a
Bagger Pr ;) ;)F vest.

Mike, Will there be a practice station for accuracy like last year?

The "Plan" is for there to be one practice station and 2 official stations. No throws on the practice station will count for your official score.

The discs shipped today looking forward to seeing how the stamp turned out.

Right On Bro!! :cool:

Only for players over 5'6" ;)

RADL will have enough zephyrs for accuracy that people can use for the event but players are able to bring their own discs as long as they meet the requirements and they can complete the event in the allotted time. I would suggest having 28 of the discs to ensure you can meet the time allowed.



Is a rhino a "beveled edge" disc? Where is that defined?

Whether or not 4 is enough or 28 is way <font color="red"> too </font> much, we use 28 at this tournament.



do point totals carry into the finals or reset?

traditionally, they are re-set.

Is a rhino a "beveled edge" disc? Where is that defined?



A Rhyno is not a beveled edge disc but I do not think a Rhyno could be used for accuracy as it does not pass the 6.7 grams/cm rule. You would need a rhyno that is less than or equal to 142 grams to pass this rule (if my math is right).

Whether or not 4 is enough or 28 is way <font color="red"> too </font> much, we use 28 at this tournament.



do point totals carry into the finals or reset?



It depends on where MTL is standing in the overall. I will likely use whichever method will help Rob come in 2nd again.. ;)

We had a lot of discussion last year on including the prelims in the finals and I imagine we will set what we are going to use this Tuesday at the meeting. After the meeting I will try to answer this question for sure to let people know.

Yo Rock! I just discovered a secret that will elevate my game. Practice Throwing STRAIGHT !!!!!! Wow, why didn't I think of that before? :D

Here is a picture of the field we will be using for distance that I took earlier today when Jay, Kevin, and I made sure all the distances are correct after the changes to the course.

This field looks amazing and we have just over 600 feet of flat land to throw on.
http://www.raleighdiscgolf.com/images/distance_field_fdc.jpg

Hopefully somebody will be able to throw outside of the field space but I kind of doubt it.

it's been a long time since I played a new course near Raleigh.

I never saw hole lengths. Does this course have alt pins? Alt tees?

It would probably take me two drives and a putt to get it out of that park!

Would love to join all my Bagger buddies for this, however, Hurrican Hannah, has caused me major flood damage in my basment, so I will need all my free time for awhile to repair,clean up her mess. :mad:. I am now the current leader of the Bagger's Cup, and The H :cool::cool:ters Cup.

See all soon, ;)

Hey Mikey, Since Rock isn't play'n REC, can you bump me up to Intermediate? I'll bring a 5-spot Sattidy. :cool:

Thanx, TiMMAY!!!!!

Course looks GREAT.

I honestly did not expect this course to be PDGA ready by this weekend but wow, it is ready.

Hats off to Mike Norris (who everytime I call him he is at the course working), Jay Pontier and the City of Cary!

This will be a classic example of people from out of town not realizing what this course looked like a few weeks ago and the way it looks now.

it's been a long time since I played a new course near Raleigh.

I never saw hole lengths. Does this course have alt pins? Alt tees?



( Scorecard (http://www.raleighdiscgolf.com/scorecards/fdc_middle_creek_scorecard.pdf) )

Everyone will play the same tees. There are not alt pins or alt pads that we will be playing.

Hats off to Mike Norris (who everytime I call him he is at the course working)



Rob does not call me that often or at least when he does I might be at the course.

I can not thank Jay Pontier and Tony Clark of Cary Parks and Recreation enough for their efforts out at the course.

I also need to thank my employer for understanding why I am just up and gone in the middle of the day to get things done these past few weeks.

Things are coming together though.

If you are coming please sign up to make things easier for everyone.

If anybody's interested in play'n Advanced Masters, I'm game. We need 3. How bout it DW sr? :D

I can play

Your rating is too high for me. I'll stick to intermediate. :D

Can anyone inform us all of any OB's and/or Mando's there will be this weekend?

Your rating is too high for me. I'll stick to intermediate. :D



It doesn't look like I can make it anyway. What does my rating mean? Actually it means i'm playing the worst golf of my life. Since it says i'm 940 that means i'm playing sub-900 golf. It's on a decline, not an increase.

I hear ya Chris. My game is on the upswing this year. But I've been practicing like hell. Maybe I'll be back up to Pro Master by the end of next year. :D

Your rating is too high for me. I'll stick to intermediate. :D



Oh come on Tim, you know you want to play Rec with me and the crew!!

Woooooooooo FDC's! T-minus 26 hours to Raleigh...

Favoritism!

Wiggins Jr. Wins open!!!

crazy

Wooo great tournament!!

The course was just top notch, pretty fair in my opinion, especially for a new course, tons of fun shots, very balanced (righty/lefty), just all around great! Thanks to everybody that helped make it that way, and thanks to Mike for being TD along with everybody that ran the events and made it happen.

Being in the lead on the last hole is NOT ENOUGH when you're playin' with RED HOT Jerry Roach! Great shootin' and congratulations, bagga! Competing with the Rock was also awesome, just when I thought he had me I BARELY managed to outbag him. The third round here was the most fun I've ever had in a tournament yet.

Congratulations to David Wiggins, Jr. as well! (and pops too!)

Why is that kid still on the "Scout" team again?! :confused: :D

I enjoyed playing with everyone this weekend. Except myself! Gotta keep working on my darn Putt! Congrats to the winners!! See ya at Sneeky Pete! :cool:

Hey chuck check the record book's. I think Jr. might have broken a record. youngest ever to win a pdga event in open? (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=8238&amp;year=2008&amp;incl udeRatings=1#Open) Great tourney. I will never miss it. Mike,Tony and Jay great course. Great win Jr.

Congrats to Wiggins Jr! Winning an open tourney in NC is a big deal. Even bigger at his young age.

Somebody needs to write a story and submit it to the local media.

Thanks so much Mike, Tony, City of Cary, Jay Pontier and anyone who had anything to do with this event!

Always on my favorite events on the year and I still think that Friday of DDC is my favorite frisbee day of the year.

Congrats to Dave on his breakthrough win. Kid is the real deal - I witnessed it first hand.

Congrats to Koling and D Silver for winning overall!

Thanks so much to Dr. Dave for helping me with my leg - already feeling better!!

Oh and one of the coolest things I've ever experienced in disc golf happened today and I want to share.

Dr. Dave was on 9 and I guess he heard Dave was tied for the lead or close or something like that heading to 18. He tells his group hes going over there to watch his son play the final hole and he was DNFing.

He walks over, watches his son play the final hole and gets to see first hand this great moment with his kid. After the final putt, Dave Sr. found out that his group waited on him to play the final hole so he would not have to DNF.

Great show of sportsmanship and its something def. worth sharing.

What a great bunch of guy's. This was one of the most exciting events i have ever played. Congrats to Lil Wig. Your totally awsome. Great parenting Big Wig. Got to watch Jerry's ACE, and he almost done it again 4 holes later. Told him to slow down because I only had 3 $5:00 bills with me ...LOL. He charged from behind 6 strokes, blew by Brandon and myself like crap through a goose. Great round Jerry. Then was Brandons shot!. Tee off hole 1, launches out over hole 18 basket, going over 9s basket, got real small at this point, then bigger, looses it's spin (finally), begins to hyzer, clears the trees, wind blows it back, bounces off the road, skips, 4 ft from the basket on hole 1.Awsome. Good Job Mile and crew, and special thanks to Craig, water present all times. Wat to go NC.

He walks over, watches his son play the final hole and gets to see first hand this great moment with his kid. After the final putt, Dave Sr. found out that his group waited on him to play the final hole so he would not have to DNF.

Great show of sportsmanship and its something def. worth sharing.



is this knowingly circumsiZZing the rules?

nope - unknowingly, and they had a backup anyway but still waited some. Thanks Stick, Paul, Bill!

- and thanks everyone for the the encouragement and support you have given both David and I all these years.

Dave

Wow. Just, wow.

Congrats Dave and Dave Jr.

Missed first 7 holes.

Then played serious the rest of the round and finished the last 11 holes (the first 7 are the really easy ones) at -2 which means he would have shot probably around 6 or 7.

Stupid Post?
it was in reference to a blog from BoB?
WTF!?!
just asking him a question

whatever...
what matters is the BIG win for lil Wiggs
CONGRATS!!!

Silly yellow threads

I did forget to mention one thing that was funny about McRee showing up late.

Wiggins asked Hofmann and I about why he wasn't there. "He knows he's only one shot out right?" "Why would he not come?"

Oh that got ole' Hofmann and I laughing pretty hard.

So you told him he's a hard sleeper. Right? :D

Pass congrats along to David for us Dave and congrats to you as well. Glad you're back on the course. :cool:

Now that is classic. FRED, when inserting a Q-Tip and you hit resistance, stop!

That entire weekend was filled with special moments.

So you told him he's a hard sleeper. Right? :D





We just said "That's Cracken"

Hofmann bet overslept. I bet he thought tee time was 10.

He was right, I was wrong.

There was no offense taken at all, and besides it is a valid question. But it really didn't matter to me at the time or now. I'd have gladly DNF'd and not thought twice about it as I told Stick at the time.

That said, it was an excellent gesture of sportsmanship on their part to take an extra drink out of their water bottle while I was getting up there.

Oh and thanks Jamie and Ben and Sjur and "Fred" and everyone else and David reads these, but doesn't have a password ;) to post.

Super Dave had a similar story from the OHO (last year? or year before?). Daves wife comes strolling through the living room where Brian is still bundled up and asleep. "Hey Brian aren't you playing today". Or words to that effect. "Everybody else is gone." Fortunately not a long drive.... :D

Pretty much everyone who knows Cracken has a story like this

Congratulations David Jr.!!!!!!!!! Great stuff hearing that the whole field was in support, way cool! AWESOME!!!!!

Save some for USDGC Dubs though big guy! I'm counting on your support! :D

Nicely done Lil Wiggy. First of many, many more open victories.

YEAH jr

Well alright then Fred-

people on Sr's card.

We good or will this be
yet another stupid
fight over DISCussion
Board misunderstanding.

Pretty much everyone who knows Cracken has a story like this

I dont have a story.......I have an Epic Tale... ;) :)

Nice showing at the Yetter Schwebby! :cool:

everyone also got to see MTL fall doing MTA and me run 10 times. truly an epic weekend

: ) :

everyone also got to see MTL fall doing MTA



the huge bandage on my leg was the result!!

there are always at least 2 injuries during MTA - myself and Kirk were the victims this year.

what were the distance results?

(off the top of my head)

I know Hofmann hit 500+ in finals and Koling had like 475 in pre-lims. 405 was cut off for top 5 in pro.


That's all I remember. Traditionally, everything is posted a few weeks after the event.

you just read about me running 10 times and didn't think I should be on the injury list? :)

: ) :

LOL

I do have very fond memories of watching you run across the field at full speed.

Great job Little Dave! :D

Awesome stuff lil Wigg!!! and an amazing story about you Sr!! Not that I couldn't see you easily willing to DNF to go watch your son but awesome/amazing to hear those guys waited for you! You had to have been kinda surprised by that!

and when someone mentioned 'is that legal' ... i'm sure the guys on his card found lots of 'distractions' that kept them waiting 30 seconds for them to throw! ;)

great shooting as well Jerm... sounds like you took the overall win!!!

1F2ns had a distance of 513', or, really far in my book. Impressive to watch was the Capt, he had 4 straight catches of 6-8 seconds, and very conditioned for a marine. The Dude is in great shape, and can move well. It's a bueatiful course, for those that missed it, sorry. Disc Golfers were part of the ribbon cutting ceremony, and were well represented by all. Disc Golfers won alot of hearts over the weekend, except for the pop warner football playas whom show up late and complain about where to park.I think they were jealous that we throw disc's way farther than a football.

Great time, see ya next year, sign up early

Way to go Jr, I knew you would be winning many open events but I did'nt think it would quite so soon.

Does this qualify him for the USDGC?????

Where is young Mr Coggins? I thought he would be winning the advanced division.

i think lil wigg already has the NC USDGC spot! Please tell me ya'll will use the little red wagon again this year Sr!!!

Hate we missed it. Andrew was doing a clinic / PR for Night Owl Graphic's Have to give back to the sponsors.

We are all proud of David Jr. Can't wait to follow him at the USDGC. not sure if it was post David Jr. got the NC Rep spot before worlds.

oh yea, the wiggy wagon :D

oh yea, the wiggy wagon :D



NICE!

As I sort through the debris from the weekend, I want to thank some people who helped make my task a little easier this year.
First, of course, Mike Norris, for stepping up as TD, running the golf, course prep, registration, sponsoring, figuring payout for all events, etc., etc, &amp; even helping me some with field setups and takedowns. And Stick, Jay, Craig &amp; all the other RADL members who made the golf go smoothly.

DDC - Thanks, Tony, Kalon, &amp; others for helping me set up courts, and Frank and TJ for helping pack up, and Kirk, for rallying the troops to my aid.

DISTANCE � Thanks, Kirk for running distance once again.

ACCURACY - Thanks guy, [forgot your name] who helped me load up the Accuracy targets after it was all over. Thanks, Craig for manning the clipboard during Accuracy so I could warm up.

MTA - Thanks, Scott, for running the other MTA site. [Sorry, I had to put my tent over my own site]

I�m sure I�ve forgotten someone, but just know that I appreciate all the help. Without you guys, I would be even grumpier and grouchier. [Imagine that!] It takes a lot of work to pull off the NCFDCs. With the new venue, 2008 went smoothly and was the best looking setup we�ve ever had. RADL can be proud of a job well done.

Richard �Rascal� Paschal #5604

A post from Rascal !

Probably his third !

C

ha!!

Richard also does an amazing amount of work for RADL and this event. Thanks to him!

I can't believe LilBig Wig's victory didn't make team Innova news. Where can we air out our complaint. The Kid is a phenonmen, and we are a part of it. LilBig Wig, will cash for Merch at USDG

I can't believe LilBig Wig's victory didn't make team Innova news.



Yeah that surprised me too.

I'm headed to Matt Peckham's, wanna ride. Gotta fix this

I am finally getting around to posting the overall results.

Thanks everyone for coming out and thanks again to all those that have helped me with this event.

Now to get back to work on USDGC stuff with Kevin.

TThanks...

True

LOL Rocky.. FWIW, 1000rated.com (http://www.1000rated.com/) contacted David and is interviewing him regarding his first pro win. It's a an excellent site. If anyone has not checked it out, they should.

Regarding Matt, he has always been very supportive of David Jr. I doubt that the decision on what to include as Innova Team News is his. What is important is that this was a big step forward for him. The recognition of that from friends like you and others on this thread is the most meaningful recognition of all. You da man, Rocky. :D

Dave

I agree , Matt must have overlooked it, or whomever does the news. IMO, that performance, is close to one of the top performances in Disc Golf history, considering all the peramiters involved, ie Youth,Rating,New Course, and all the distractions in the surrounding area besides the mini thumber being loud on the course...LOL..All of North Carolina is behind the LilBig Wig. I know how proud Mom and Dad may be, but this Disc Golfer, enjoy's being around the kid, and wants to boast...LOL. He's that good :) TEAM INNOVA, are you hearing me?

Thanks Rocky :)

My Pleasure Dave, INNOVA, knock.knock, helloohoh :)

I'm sure the Innova call is coming they are just scared because they need to make a big offer to the kid. I got dibs on a few of the first run LilBig Wigg Disc. I hope it's a new disc with a speed rating of 15. OH, don't forget the autographs.

He's already sponsored by innova. he's been on the scout team for 3 years now. already got his own stamp as well

I did not overlook it, I passed off update for the week to the West Coast, since they just had the US Masters, and I was buried in USDGC print projects. We usually get all of our winners up there, Levi may not have been aware of the level of detail we go to on the Team updates. I will rectify, even though it's a little late, sorry, haven't been following this thread since last Monday.

Thanks Matt, the Kid is good. All Kids across the USA should see , and dream, with practice, one can achieve.

Oh and by the way, His personality is great too. Pleasure to play with after he gets off the swings...LOL ;)
