Does anyone know if the 2006 AM Worlds date and venue has been set?

Tulsa OK I think....

Thanks all. I guess I shouldn't give my mag away.

March
April
May
June
Worlds, July 24th - 29th.

yea thats true didnt look at it like that lol just knew it was some what close

Can't wait till Worlds! :cool:

Niether can I :D

What is the deal with the waiting list and how do you go about getting on it? I will be close on points, trying to be positive, but I want to go to Tulsa bad.

The FAQ Section of the PDGA Tulsa Am Worlds website answers the waiting list question:

http://www.2006amworlds.org

how many points will you need to qualify, Aprox?

Niether can I :D



Maybe I should stay AM and play against ya Mills...

Niether can I :D

You already made the finals!!! I mean people call me a bagger but I would NEVER stay am after being in the final 4 at Worlds :eek:

:D

how many points will you need to qualify, Aprox?

Sounds like you want to know the points, not about the waitlist. MA1-1000 points automatic invite. MA1 top 25% of state 400 min. After looking at your state it looks like you need to get the 1000 if you want the automatic invite. Otherwise, you need to get on the first waiting list, if you can.

Just get on the waitlist. Points dont matter. If you have the money and a PDGA membership we will see you in Tulsa :D

Not true - I wouldn't take that approach with Tulsa. The Oklahoma and Texas tournaments have been huge this year b/c people are trying to get into Tulsa Worlds.

Reasons not to wait
1. Tulsa is centrally located and cheaper to get to the many places
2. Texas and Oklahoma plan on representing.
3. Due to the rule that only 4 courses should be used in one division, it makes the field somewhat limited.
4. Waiting just creates problems for the TDs.


BTW - Are you really waiting to play Tulsa Worlds Steve?

OK is not easy to get to from the coasts. ($) I have money to burn and its not cheap. Please remove you head from your

Reasons not to wait
1. Tulsa is centrally located and cheaper to get to the many places ... AND compare that rate deal we got at the Host Hotel ...
2. Texas and Oklahoma plan on representing. ... TRUE , along with the rest of the World ...
3. Due to the rule that only 4 courses should be used in one division, it makes the field somewhat limited. ... SOME of these former parameters may be adjusted ...
4. Waiting just creates problems for the TDs. ... BRING ON THE WORLD ...

Man, I sure can't wait for that next ratings update to come out on 9/20, like the front page says it will! :D:D:D

Me either!

Yeah, I should have a pretty big ratings jump in the next 11 months! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I will be in Tulsa, I automatically qualified halfway through the BG Am tournament (2200pts/2=1100 > 1000pts = auto invite). This Worlds will probably be the first to fill.

Where I live now I will not have too far to travel. However if I move next spring I could be a long ways away. Either way, I will be there.

The funny thing is you didnt get 2200 points at Bowling Green :eek: :eek: :eek:\

By the way. I will be @ the 2006 AM Worlds in Tulsa as well :D

Bagger :D

Thanks for the compliment :D

Hey Boobs,

Since your in chage of the Distance Comp and what not. Please tell me there wont be any OB in the Distance Competition :D

Let me answer that for Boobs. The area being used for distance competition will have NO out of bounds. The area being used, were polo fields. It is wide open and mowed low.

Thanks God!!! And if God is on our side then maybe he will give us a slight left to right tailwind during the competition as well :D

if there is a God, I would hope he has better things to do.

God hates baggers too! :p

Thanks for correcting me Steve, I only receieved 1900 pts at BG.

As for distance, I just won the Alabama State Distance Championship this weekend (won in a playoff). In a nasty right to left tailwind where people were having trouble getting Valkries to turn over, I threw 153yds (459ft). The top Open throw was 161yds (483ft), so I was not too far behind them.

So I will be seeing you in the distance contest. Maybe on the golf course, but I just had the biggest ratings spread I have ever seen. 844 first round, and a 947 second round. Different courses, but it was night and day golf.

I've got that beat...I played a tourney where I shot a 1020 rated round and then came back and shot a 910 rated round...man I hate stuff like that!!

How about a 759 and a 890? What do I win?

how about widest range between 4 rounds, one tourney i played this year the closest two of rounds were was 3 strokes and 21 points

round 1-57 927
round 2-50 994
round 3-46 1039
round 4-53 973

AM DGLO 05
r1 and r2
65 993
71 883

How about my 65 on the long tees and a 71 on the short tees.

Are you trying to make your case for Bagger-of-the-Year? If so, I'm pretty sure you'll win it hands down. You were one of only 2 baggers to have a +1000 rated round at that tourney. You also beat 2nd place by 8 strokes and probably would've cashed in open. Several people that you beat in previous tournaments are now cashing in OPEN.

Steve Mills
Congrats!
We are all very proud of you.

Does this mean I will also be the 2006 Bagger of the year as well???

We'll just have to wait and see. There are some baggers that are working on top 5 finishes in Adv. at major tourneys for 3 straight years. Although, they may not make the 2006 BOTY, they certainly are still in the running for the Lifetime Bagger Achievement Award.

Sorry but Mills would be way down the list for BOY:D

im about 80% sure im going to make it up there its just im going to have to wait for the list because i only am going to make 2 pdga tourn prob all the others are so dang far

Who are those guys???


Well, for starters, the legend of Phillip Hall. Mr. Hall won his 1st adv. am event in 2002 and has never looked back. You can find him currently bagging in So. Nats. 4 years bagging in Adv. Am. that's going to get him some LGAA consideration.
I don't want to let the cat out of the bag too early but that is just a taste. More bagger profiles to come so stay tuned.

I think the bagger award should be given to the guy with the most wins(including in pro while still an AM). :D

This was the first post in this thread:


Does anyone know if the 2006 AM Worlds date and venue has been set?

Yeah so we arew still on topic...... KINDA? :D

The question is who wants to be bagger of the year?

Steve!!! :D:D

can he be elgible for this year and next year?

I guess. :D

Bagger of the Year is no joke. Stiff competition. You have to want it. Its going to be a tight field this year! I don't envy the judges at all.

Well what if they have already moved up? :confused:

Did .....**(ahem) THEY accept cash in '05?

Yeah. EX would Coda be the biggest bagger in 04' even though he accepted before the year was out?

I think Matt Hall would be

No IMO Coda won the award last year even though he only played like half the season in ADV

I'd have to check the by-laws, but I'm pretty sure that a player has to remain a bagger throughout the entire year to be eligible for consideration. :D

Yes, that is true. Accepting cash in Pro disqualifies you for that calendar year. However, denying cash in Pro to continue bagging is not only allowed, but viewed in high regard by the judges.

No IMO Coda won the award last year even though he only played like half the season in ADV


Coda would've won it hands down last year, but decided to move up and stay up, thereby disqualifying him. He had a good run though. But I think it was a smart move. He lost the chance at BOTY to make a shiitload of money in Pro. I guess he'd rather have cash than plastic, unlike most baggers.

True but he still really won since his 6 month bagger career was far better then anyone elses 12 months. :D

Not to get back on the best rated/worst rated thing...but at a tournament last year, I had a round of 832 and a round of 965...isn't that quite nice...

I'll be bringing my 901 rating to lay the smack down on Mills :D:D:D

Actually, I will see you all down in Tulsa...I will be there to donate to the cause :D

945 followed by a 1037 :DI was in 1st went to 7th after the 945 and then jumped back to win by four with the 1037. :D

From back in 03' 1st round 947 2nd 870, 3rd 856. :confused:

From back in 03' 1st round 947 2nd 870, 3rd 856. :confused:



I didn't even start playing disc golf until 2003. :o:D

I was my 1st year of non-JR golf. It was the only ADV tourny I missed cash in. :D

04, Justin Jernigan got BOTY award, turned down like 2000$ and then won Am worlds in Iowa by double digits. Coda can't hang with that. He took the money. Any one who went from Am to Innova Team Champion is BOY. Insert my name for the 06 competition. I've already denied once.

JJ actually WON (and denied) an Open tournament a few weeks before 2004 worlds.

Put my name down on the list as I will be in Tulsa for the 2006 Am Worlds and I will prolly have denied some cash by then as well :D

This year looks to be one of the most challenging BOTY competitions ever. So far we have around 25 candidates and still 3 months to go. No doubt some Ice Bowls will bring out the brightest of the baggers. Judges are predicting stiff competition from well over 40 baggers. Folks, its gonna be close this year.

This year looks to be one of the most challenging BOTY competitions ever.



Why is everyone so excited about becoming "Boy Of The Year"? Does Michael Jackson get a vote? :o:D

I won 11 events in a row 2 majors and an a-teir 13 or 14 in all. Also I declined like $600 and took 2nd at worlds. :D

After seeing this young mans run this year, I dont feel so bad baggin adv with a 955......lol!

Wow Matt, I didnt realize until now that you played Adv in the Michiana Open. Did you and Yeti get paired up for the final 9? I think I remember something of that nature.

JJ actually WON (and denied) an Open tournament a few weeks before 2004 worlds.





He also is the only one ever to deny cash at USDGC...

Matt "Scoot_er" Hall has my vote for '05 BOTY.

He also is the only one ever to deny cash at USDGC...



And didnt he play that USDGC with someone elses discs since his got stolen??? :eek:

No, that was the Crosstown NT that he got top 10 at.

Hey STeve, BRING IT!!! I'll be here waitin'!!!! :D

Hey STeve, BRING IT!!! I'll be here waitin'!!!! :D



Oh dont worry!!! Ill BRING IT!!! :D

Cant wait to see the courses. I hear they play to my strengths :D

Are new courses being put in or are the current ones being updated?

Both. Our goal is to have new equipment and upgrades to all of the current courses that will be used along with two new courses that should be going in before the end of the year.
We are still working on one additional new course but have some flow issues to resolve.

All of the courses that are in the ground now, should have pics and descriptions available on the web site (http://www.2006amworlds.org/) by the end of the month. As the new courses are added we will add all of their information along with pics and descriptions.

Our fundraising efforts have been going well but it takes time to aquire enough funds to buy multiple courses, tee signs, ect. Our timeline is to have all courses in and ready for play by April of 06. That will allow about 3 and a half months that people can plan time to try and play the ones they haven't seen. We will try to have some type of event to include all of the new courses between April and Worlds, in July.

Wise, let me know whenever you guys have workdays and especially when you guys are doing stuff for Am Worlds. I'd love to help out! Also, let us know when the waiting lists start so I can get my name on the list. I doubt I'll get enough points by then to qualify, but I am definately comming.

I glad Pimp has decided to make it down to Tulsa for the 06 Am Worlds. I have about 2 or 3 of my favorite sheep waiting in line to have their way with him. :cool:....Steve can you say "Baaaaa.....thank you can I have another"? ;)

Yeah I would put some serious $$ on a local guy winning this year.

I would put some serious money on a guy named Lund winning it. Anybody who can beat BOOBS and MCCOY in a skins match and drive 580ft has a really good chance of winning Am Worlds.

If devan would start playing he would have a good shot as well

Devan needs to wear different shoes if he wants to beat me.
