I can't tell you since the TDs are the last to know for both Worlds. You have to contact the PDGA on any registration issues for getting in or getting out. I did talk to Breiner briefly and he figures we've got about 30 more that will have registered by tomorrow's deadline but still enough room for everyone. If you registered online and your credit card went thru, you're in. Otherwise, Breiner would ahve contacted you if any trouble on payment.

Hosfeld, Val, Avery and Dave just finished practicing their first course this afternoon. They'll practice tomorrow before heading to Japan and coming back Monday. Talk about jet lag!



Sorry for my ignorance but why are they going to Japan? Also , does this mean Crab has the Tioga to himself? :D

Didn't see him. There's an exhibition they're giving of some sort.

feldbergs blog on ZD...

"We have a busy schedule in front of us, we are heading to Am worlds to give a clinic, then straight to Nagoya, Japan for a huge demonstration."

I know its on the schedule as such but is MPO still only playing HG, BH, and GR? Also it looks like some of the holes on HG have changed like hole 2. Anyway how many have changed and have any others on BH changed? I already knew about the gold tees on GR so don't worry about those.

Mostly new pins on Gold that hadn't been put in when Mid-Nats was here in 2005. Gold hole 8 is old 7 + 8 combined and we added the new hole 2 to get a hole back. Granite routing after 8 and several holes have changed in that lower area since 2005. Open doesn't play Woodland Bear.

Crab is Team Spirit not Tioga

Crab is Team Spirit not Tioga

Yeah you mullet, TEAM SpiriTTTTTTTTTTT

bard is in the Spirit as well.

Will there be a bus running to St. Paul on Sunday evening 8/5?

..but why are they going to Japan?




Team America (http://www.herodiscusa.com/store/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=22)

Coach Dave is coordinating rides on the Yahoo group. There are no buses, but lots of players will be heading to the Twin Cities on that Sunday so it shouldn't be hard to line someone up during the week here.

bard is in the Spirit as well.




the SPIRIT is rolling deep....Thanks for the discs ladies ;)

Since I got an invite and I am unable to make this one as well...

Sigh.......

Matt Hall aka Scooter contact me asap @ [email protected]
Thanks Richard Lewis

Chuck,
Approximately what do you think SSA will be on each course?

It's right in your player confirmation docs:

Anyone who goes to both Am & Pro Worlds will see a stark difference in challenges, that's for sure.

For everyone heading to Pro Worlds from the Twin Cities, the best gas prices along the way will likely be in Minnesota. For those going via Duluth, gas has been 20-30 cents a gallon cheaper in Minnesota than Wisconsin lately so gas up before crossing into Wisconsin near Duluth.

If you take the alternate route of heading east into Wisconsin on Hwy 70 halfway to Duluth, the best gas price I found last weekend was at the casino in Hertel between Siren and Spooner on Hwy 70. It was $2.85 -$2.90 instead of $3.20-$3.30 anywhere else on the way in northern Wisconsin and even better than Minnesota. Of course, if you throw several quarters in the slots while you're gassing up, it may cost you more or less than expected... :D

Thanks for the tip. I had debated taking the direct route through Wisconsin, but this pretty much seals the deal for driving to Duluth and over.

great info - thanks chuck.

I'll be in the twin cities in 48 hours!

Get back to that BLOG !!!

Where's entry #3?!

haha entry three will come saturday night after playing blueberry hill and granite ridge in practice

Whew! It's hot and dry,dry,dry here in the high hills of Highbridge. Index in the 100's today. This place is absolutely beautimus.

The Gold course rocks big time. Blueberry has deuce fest front nine and hold tight back nine. We haven't played the others yet.

**Of course each course has one or two Chucky Chuck what the %$*& holes, but ya know.

The boys are busting tail up here big time. The place is still pretty rough around the edges as this is one of those heritage destinations that will take many more years to reach the vision. Chuck needs to stop moving tee pads so the boys can get some real work done. I have yet to Chuck out here with his lopers yet:confused: just kidding of course

Why aren't you here yet?

Hey Yeti Granite is the best IMO and you will have fun on that one.

The land is awesome. Many holes have built up or sculpted tee pads and greens. I heard them talking about the fire department coming out to fill up a few of the ponds including a moat around a cool island green. When you getting up here Scooter?

Why aren't you here yet?



I was pulling out from my weekend "inspection tour" just as you guys were pulling in. Des might want in on the secrets to playing Woodland Bear that Val got when Hos and I were doing the punch list with her. See you Friday evening. Getting scorecards, player pack inserts and color caddybooks printed here in the Twin Cities plus picking up trophies.

Robbie, Megan, and i are leaving tomorrow and playing Token creek on friday so we'll probably get in Friday night or early Sat.

Yeti, have you tried to see if you can get a wireless signal within a few hundred feet of the Honka house? I just set it up yesterday.

Hello Friends,

I'm pleased to announce that we will have LIVE AUDIO COVERAGE from Highbridge on Wed thru Sat at 5 Central Time (6 pm Eastern).

This little experiment will feature a one hour audio webcast wrap-up show from the Honker...er...Honka...house that includes interviews, round re-recaps, personal observations, and message board interactions.

The link to the Web cast can be found at: Our Webcast Homepage (http://www.audiosportsonline.net/PDGA/Broadcast.htm). Please tell your friends, as we have unlimited bandwidth.

Also, for those who don't make it to the Live Coverage, the show will be archived for all to check out later.

Thanks for your support. I'm really psyched about trying this out.

John D.

Dave indicated this afternoon that we likely won't see the final reg list posted until tomorrow. However, I talked with Breiner and it looks like we hit 320 registrations minus a few withdrawals. About 36 entered at the last minute with Cale squeaking in last at about 10:30 last night.

For Doubles, MPO and MPG now have waitlists but the other divisions are still available. Players can register for Doubles and field events at Highbridge until they start.

So did Megan make it in?

Many will know before I will. Dave will likely have the update posted tomorrow online before I see the Excel file. If you registered online with a credit card before midnight Eastern last night and didn't hear from Breiner today that your card didn't go thru, then you're likely in.

My CC went through on the 20th, so she should be good. :)

I will officially eat my worlds that this will be the lowest attended Worlds in a while. See, there, I said it. Glad to see that lots are making the trek. Maybe this means that Worlds is actually growing, not just spiking.

It's my understanding that about 15 got turned away last year with the 300 cap. So we're about the same but with much better international attendance going back to 2001 when the World Games qualifiers was Worlds in MN for some countries. I'm thinking it must have been the articles in DGW and DGM that put us over 300... :cool:

The Worlds forecaster program I put together indicated we would only get 255 based on the percentages of PDGA members in different distance ranges that attended the last two Pro Worlds. It is what it is now and we'll do our best to put on a good show. Much of the good show is brought by the players themselves and I'm sure the Whitecap "Olympic Village" will be hopping.

I signed up for the worlds doubles a long time ago....Just curious to see if we got in. I think it went through last week early.

I think you were one of the teams that got in right when the capping was being set but I haven't seen the official list. Breiner contacted people that didn't get in and are on the doubles waiting list. So if you didn't hear from him, you should be in.

when will the pool assignements be announced?

I'm asuming open is full (144)?

I know nothing at this point other than 120 in Open at last update. Dave is trying to do the pools and groupings in Milwaukee but won't have the final file from Breiner until tonight to get started. If you notice the schedule, each pool can have up to 76 players so the cap for Open is 152 but I doubt we hit it. All four courses were designed to have a par 5/par 3 sequence so the par 3 could have a shadow group and keep good flow. Not sure if it will be needed but we're ready if that's the case.

My wife and I are planning to make a side trip at some point in the week over to the Copper Peak Ski Flying Hill in Ironwood, MI - only about 25 minutes from Whitecap. It's the world's largest ski jump at over 240 feet (26 stories) high. You ride a chair lift to the top of the hill and then take an elevator to the observation platform 18 stories up, then climb an optional 8 story stairway to the top of the jump. From there you can see 40+ miles in every direction and three states - Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota!

"Hello Wisconsin!!!!", yelled Eric Forman.

You can see the giant ski jump from the course on Indianhead.

Doubles reg has been updated online. MPO and MPG divisions have reached maximums. The following teams are on the MPO waitlist:

Kim Scott-Wood #19777 / Geoff Bennett #24962
Mark Gill #14562 / Mike Paulette #28645

Please let me know if your team plans to withdraw now that the online reg system is shut down.

Teams in the other divisions may still register at Player Check-in starting at 2pm on Sunday and running to 10pm. Player meeting on the hilltop at 8am Monday. Your team must stop by the player meeting so we can tell whether everyone is there for groups to go out.

Here are additional names being added for singles when Dave gets the file processed this morning:

FPO 16975 Addie Isbell
FPO 25775 Jennifer Kuehle
FPO 23043 Tavish Sanders
FPO 15918 Megan Stroh

MPO 5003 Scott Scholten
MPO 19770 Jeremy Skenandore

MPO 18720 Brian Walli
MPS 3547 Doug Aulick

Ok we're out the door and off to Wisconsin. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

MPG is full? There are only 9 teams listed. Does that mean there will be a 6-some?

Because we promised that divisions would play the three courses they will play in singles, the schedule requires some divisions to be on a certain course at the same time. So, MPO+MPG couldn't be more than 38 teams (shadow group). Because courses will not be fully loaded at times, we may do three 3-somes for MPG if the total pool that round is an odd number of teams anyway.

I've winter camped in the Porcupine Mountains for 20 years, and you can see easily see the ski jump from there about 25 miles away.

Everyone be careful with fire up there, including cigarette butts. Conditions are very dry.

Thats pretty clever people...I kept scrolling down the doubles list looking for Soleng Soleng...How long have we been on there...I may have overlooked that everytime...Pretty clever...

i'll be comin back this winter to hit that jump!

Just went through the reg. list for worlds...My conclusion: That the 'S' last name has the most 1000+ rated players...And if Schweb was coming, wow...

Tried to match the cleverness of your D-Board handle... :D

I pick Kathy Hardyman for a 2nd grandmaster women championship!!!!! Princess is rooting for you!! She has her disc right by her

The first session planned for Distance on Sunday has been canceled. With 54 throwers registered, there's more than enough time for them all to throw from 9-5 on Tuesday, and more likely under the same conditions. We've updated the schedule for the player packs to show the change.

I was talking about doubles(having 9 teams). That equals a 6-some in the same division or a mix with the masters, I guess.

Because we promised that divisions would play the three courses they will play in singles, the schedule requires some divisions to be on a certain course at the same time. So, MPO+MPG couldn't be more than 38 teams (shadow group). Because courses will not be fully loaded at times, we may do three 3-somes for MPG if the total pool that round is an odd number of teams anyway.



Thats a small field. :confused:
Think we averaged 30+ mpo teams in texas for world doubles the last 3 years.

I want to throw distance, Im not signed up yet...Im pretty sure many more are going my route...Also, Why is Open capped in doubles? It should be first come first serve...Just an opinion.

But maybe one team outside TX-OK and it was only 23 teams last year including an FPO team. Not exactly a World class field, while it's true everyone was invited to play. Looks like Reading and Olse will have all they can handle to defend against this national and international field.

It's not an arbitrary cap on MPO, the course is full with 38 teams including a shadow group. The waitlist is of course first on it, first served.

Players can sign up for field events at Highbridge until they start.

We're flying into Minneapolis tomorrow afternoon, and think the Mall Of America sounds pretty dumb. Is there anything fun to do in Minneapolis or St. Paul? (besides disc golf :D)

Ft. Snelling right near the airport if you like history or the Science Museum in St. Paul. Valley Fair for Amusement Park.

Good luck to my people out there: the Frizzpacks, Brinster, the Mosers, Pete Johnson, Matt LaCourte, Joey Mela, R-Man, and the Old Goat at Worlds!! We're rooting for ya!

Thanks for the suggestions. The A Day in Pompeii exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota sounds really interesting but $20 seems like an awful lot to get into a museum.

Countdown is at 18 hrs...Bing bang.

Chuck -

Is the Doubles Schedule as shown on Version 3 correct? It conflicts with the Doubles Schedule in the other document on the website.

Schedule v3 just posted last night is the current correct Schedule for everything. It will be the one in the Player Packs. Sorry, I forgot to update the separate doubles schedule. I try to get that fixed.

15 hours.

I've got 40 hours...

but im driving from CT...so you'll probably get there before me.

CT, ouch. I guess I will see you on Sunday then...

Sunday early mornin, crack of dawnin'.

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

either go by ratings or go by random....

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

hathate hate i hope they serve that hater-a-aid on the b pool courses.......but fo real son you got played....its kinda funny in that mad laughter way

As far as I know, Dave put the top 18 players in the A pool to start with and they will each end up in separate group when pairings are done. If any players below the top 18 requested to ride with another player, they got in the B pool. That's more spread out by ratings than it normally has been. From a practical standpoint, since all of the courses are at the same place and A & B pools play at the same time, Open players did not need to ask to ride with someone else. All that did was make it very likely they would be in the B pool.

Well, maybe being in the same pool would help for rides on the second day since A & B play at different times on Gold. The general rule though is that your chances of getting in the A pool are better if you have both a high rating and no request for getting pooled with others.

Breaking down pools by ratings makes no sense. All you do is give an advantage to the players who already have the best chance of doing well. I commend the organizers for mixing up the pools if that is what was done...

I doubt it will ever be random again after the problem with mismatched weather and course conditions that likely affected the outcome for Worlds in Charlotte 1997. Since 2000 Open and Advanced A pools have been seeded.

Players will be in their same groups for both rounds on the first day this year regardless of score, just like the way ball golf does their first two rounds. So, the top dogs won't be in the same group until at least the third round.

its bs if its by rating do it by rating....if its random they have it all random... the way it is now is not fair............sjur just told me that he will appeal to the TD to have done fairly....picked one way random or ratings...he's at work i am his proxy... its a lot of money to pay to get played in the seedings.........whatever

Sorry, but the PDGA makes the call and I agree with it so no changes. It's been this way for 8 years now. So nothing earth shattering about the process used other than fewer top seeds are in the A pool than ever before with only 18 instead of 54 slotted automatically to A pool. Just because some are theoretically unlucky in the process doesn't mean it wasn't fair. I had nothing to do with the choices but support Dave's process.

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Does the PGA seed events in the fashion...? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

How about if Climo wins, we will put an asterisk beside his thirteenth World Title because he had an unfair advantage seeding wise.

Hum!, he is not afraid /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif the games will be on in a couple of days.

Peace

has anyone ever won worlds coming out of the b pool?
what was the highest place anyone from the b pool finshed at worlds?

your sarcasm is only funny to you
is it a problem to have an opinon.. you must not have one... you just have bad jokes

<font color="blue"> looking out for the top pros AGAIN... </font>

I agree. One of these years we'll make it fair for all players in the A / B pooling. They shouldn't even be called A and B pool, because that denotes something better. Maybe we should change them to colors... Like the Brown pool and the Pink pool... like in Reservoir Dogs...

But seriously, The fairest way to have all players with an equal shot is to make the average rating of each pool the same. This is especially easy to do when we are all playing at the same facility. Like this year.

my blog has 5 entries including comments on 2 of the courses now....:D

Are there anymore doubles teams, or is the list final, with 60?

Thanks MTL, can't wait to get there where I won't have internet access and can't read your blog. :)

You need to learn how to build interest. Or use some descriptors...

Maybe a top 10 list like every other blog does to raise post counts... Top 10 foods they have up there or something....

Hey everybody, this is Jeff LaGrassa and Larry Kruse, your Pro Worlds 2007 Co-Scoring Directors, with the first report of the event.

<font size=5>The 2007 PDGA Professional Worlds Mixed Doubles champions are Angela Tschigfrie and Robert Mcintee! </font>

After a first round score of 53 on the Granite Ridge course, the team of Tim and Katy Schreder shot a blistering 54 on the Woodland Bear course in the afternoon to end up tied with Angela Tschiggfrie and Robert Mcintee, who had shot a 51 in the morning round and a 56 in the afternoon. The playoff was continued alternating on the Woodland Bear course starting on hole#1. Tim Schreder's drive was short left and Katy's putt missed the mark. Angela Tschiggfrie's drive was long, and Robert Mcintee's 20-foot putt was perfect but rattled all the way through the chains and out the back side.

On hole#2, there are three options off the tee on this tight pro par four. Katy Schreder attempted the left anhyzer route but griplocked into trees in the middle leaving only a pitchout to the fairway. Robert Mcintee's drive on the hyzer route was perfect leaving Angela and roughly 125 foot downhill approach which she nailed. Team Schreder played valiantly to save their 5, but with a 10-footer for the birdie 3, Angela Tschigfrie and Robert Mcintee were The 2007 PDGA Professional Worlds Mixed Doubles champions. :cool:

The Barsby - Hardy team, who had a smokin' 50 in the morning round on the Granite course, shot a 59 in the afternoon on The Bear to finish in a tie with Team Reading. Des and Jay had shot a 53 on the Granite and had a solid round going on the Woodland Bear until the 9th hole where the team took a 6 due to a few shanked initial shots and two rollaways while putting on the elevated basket. They did respond with a strong 22, which is 6 under par, on the back nine, and finished with a 56.

OK, Larry, keep that non-Texan you're working with in line. And if they tell you that the weather is hot, tell 'em about WDGC 2002 in H-town!

T minus 2 minutes!

Congrats to Tschiggfrie and McIntee for winning the mixed doubles at the Worlds.

Also, hard to believe they didn't seed the Open Division pools by rating as in years past. I'm personally glad they didn't, but I am perplexed by it, especially with the pools playing at different times on Wednesday, since the main argument for seeding the pools in the past has been differing weather conditions.

...especially with the pools playing at different times on Wednesday, since the main argument for seeding the pools in the past has been differing weather conditions.


There are perfectly workable provisions in the old rules on how to proceed in that case. :)

When will the doubles page be updated? Coda said he was playing with McCabe, and I dont see their name on the list.

hello by this time last week we are already had 1st round scores for the doubles???? :confused: this is PRO week for the players as well as the staff right!!! ;)



thanks


also lets get the pro worlds link to be on top of the page.

Breaking down pools by ratings makes no sense. All you do is give an advantage to the players who already have the best chance of doing well. I commend the organizers for mixing up the pools if that is what was done...




I agree, why put all the 1000 rated players in the same pool?

What's happening with Doubles??
Did Plantz/Bee mercy the rest of the field yet?

did Jay and Des play mixed doubles? its really hard to believe those 2 got beat in mixed dubs.

Ya mixed doubles results are up...Jay/des got 3rd I believe

Team Reading came in 3rd. Angela Tschigfrie and Robert Mcintee won. Check the 12 page of this thread for the lowdown.

What's happening with Doubles??



Could the rounds be taking 7+ hours???
I guess the old adage, "Everything moves slower up north", is hanging true.

I heard a few hours ago from the team of Bratten/Hall that Rico and Anthon were leading... Round 2 was supposed to tee-off at 1:30 cst (2.5 hours ago)

I heard a few hours ago from the team of Bratten/Hall that Rico and Anthon were leading... Round 2 was supposed to tee-off at 1:30 cst (2.5 hours ago)


That's who my bet was on. That's an insanely consistent duo...at least in doubles they should be. BTW, are all of the rounds best shot or is there a worst shot involved?

BTW, are all of the rounds best shot or is there a worst shot involved?



No, you can see the format here (http://www.2007proworlds.com/images/PW07DblesSchv3.pdf)

Are scores posted yet somewhere? I'd like to see who else played and where everyone finished.

Congratulations to Bert &amp; Angela!!!

rico and anthon lead by 6 over scott wood and bennett.

Format for open today was rap at gold and then 666 (best shot tough shot best disc) on Granite.

Tomorrow will be best shot on blueberry

I think that we've got all scores from divisional doubles up and online. Ratings look about right.

Remember that tomorrow for round 3, the Masters will be playing on the Highbridge Gold course from the Gold tees while all of the Women and other mens divisions will be playing from the Highbridge Gold's White tees. The SSA from the gold tees is 67 and from the white tees, 65.

good luck everyone! One more day of doubles and we start cookin' with butter!

I doubt it will ever be random again after the problem with mismatched weather and course conditions that likely affected the outcome for Worlds in Charlotte 1997. Since 2000 Open and Advanced A pools have been seeded.



Pro Worlds, you are correct, until this year apparently. Actually, I think you might be talking about Cincinnati 1998 in stead of Charlotte 1997...I don't recall any real issues in Charlotte. But I've found my memory fails me from time to time anymore. :) Even then, I'm pretty sure the best player still won.

Am Worlds, incorrect. Advanced A Pool has NEVER been seeded (unless they did it in 2001 or 2002, they did not in 1999-2000, nor 2003-2007), and it shouldn't ever be. Ratings mean much, much less with amateurs, and this year should show that as much as any. Apparently a 936 rated player can win the top men's amateur division if he plays well.


Players will be in their same groups for both rounds on the first day this year regardless of score, just like the way ball golf does their first two rounds. So, the top dogs won't be in the same group until at least the third round.



Traditional golf only does this because they only play one round per day. Since conditions are often tougher in the afternoon (windier, and drier, harder, and faster greens), they make sure that if you play a morning round on Thursday, you play an afternoon round on Friday, and vice versa. Keeping you in the same group is the easiest way to assure that. Since disc golfers are playing in both the morning and afternoon with a shotgun start, there's really no reason to stay in the same group both rounds.

Chap

Remember that tomorrow for round 3, the Masters will be playing on the Highbridge Gold course from the Gold tees while all of the Women and other mens divisions will be playing from the Highbridge Gold's White tees. The SSA from the gold tees is 67 and from the white tees, 65.



Maybe, depends on what people shoot this time around. I'm betting the SSA turns out to be least one shot lower than that on each course.

Chap

wow thanks for scores I cant believe doubles is 3 rounds that is awesome. So singles starts weds?

Lets go Kelly and tanock

Can anybody tell me what layouts the pins are in on the courses for this week?

(I want to be able to compare my bests from when I worked there last summer to what they shoot this year)

I doubt it will ever be random again after the problem with mismatched weather and course conditions that likely affected the outcome for Worlds in Charlotte 1997. Since 2000 Open and Advanced A pools have been seeded.

Nope...

That was '97..alright :p


Day 1 Hot but a nice day overall
A pool played Winthrops Eagles Landing (Wide Open Huge holes)
B pool played Killian?? I think?? Wooded birdie fest..

Day 2 Hot w/ 30mph winds

Pools switched courses...they were about an hour apart...

Only 2 people from B Pool made the cut to A pool...

I think they were Larry Leonard &amp; Brad Hammock.......

NO ONE in B POOL shot under par on Day 2..............

More than 1/2 of A pool shot under Par on Day 1...........
:p

It was not the greatest of times..... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
:D

I was a B-pooler in Charlotte and weather was a factor...Day one we were at Kilbourne and I went -21 in perfect conditions then went to long Eagle's landing course and we had no chance to reach the long par 4's. The best that day was a -2 by Hammock and Larry Leonard, and there were some good players in our pool, The Mose, The Sweeds Eckstrom, and Svante Erikson.......The previous day out there the A-poolers were shooting -9,-7, and about a dozen other rounds in the 40's.

Since these course are at the same location it shouldn't be that much of a factor....possibly a 10 minutes for a rain cloud to cover the place?

GO GET EM OKIES!!!! ;)

Wow Mags we were thinking the same thing at the same time.....whoaa :o

I was in Charlotte that year also. I must have been an A-Pooler, because I know we started at Eagle's Landing, and played Kilborne the next day. I still sucked. Mikey Sayre was in my group the first round...I'm pretty sure he shot a 49 or something close to that. I could look it up tomorrow. :( I had forgotten about the weather issues...yes, the courses were about an hour apart.

Problems with weather could still occur this year, with one Open pool playing in the morning on Thursday, and the other playing in the afternoon. Might be tougher on the B-Poolers in the afternoon to make A-Pool after the shuffle if the wind picks up in the afternoon, or someone gets a pop-up shower.

Chap

BTW, are all of the rounds best shot or is there a worst shot involved?



No, you can see the format here (http://www.2007proworlds.com/images/PW07DblesSchv3.pdf)

shouldn't best disc be best score?

That format is called Best Ball in ball golf so we just borrowed that name calling it Best Disc.

Who came up with the formats? Best Shot last? It just ruins the competition factor the last round, cuz it's over. There is not much of a chance to make a move in best shot but in 666 there would at least been some pressure on the players in the worst shot section.

Go ahead and engrave the trophy with Anthon and Rico on it...CONGRATS CALI !!!!

Best Disc (Best Score)
In Best Disc (also known as Best Score), each player plays the hole as they would while playing singles; there are no shared lies. The team score is the best score on the hole by one of its players.
The player who is away will always throw first, with this exception: If both players are lying the same number of throws, the team may choose which player throws first.
A player must pick up once it is impossible for him to better the team's score. The team incurs a warning for the first violation, and a penalty throw for subsequent violations.
In case of injury or disqualification, one partner may play alone.

doesnt best disc sound a lot like best shot? and, i agree with K, 666 should be last.

:DI agree;I am hoping that Hall/Bratten make a move but its going to be tough playing Best shot the last round against Anthon/Rico.

Nope, best shot is also known as scramble. Both players throw a drive, then they both throw their next shot from the same lie. In best disc, both players play their own disc all the way to the hole, and simply take the best score between them.

Chap

Quit trying to get all fancy with the terminology and call it what it is....Best Score ;) :D

Write it down, seal the envelope and put a stamp on it....It's Ova! It's Ova! It's Ova!

The formats were dictated by the course schedule which was dictated by the need to only have two courses tied up by the 120 playing doubles when 200 not playing doubles need to practice the other two courses. For simplicity of explanation, it was better to do 666 for all pools the same time and the same day as the player meeting where it could be explained. And, doing RAP on the longest courses a division played was better or very few holes would actually have much regular alternating occurring.

Are today's field event results going to be posted anywhere?

So Chuck let me get this straight, it was better jeopardizing the integrity of the formats just to keep from tying up the courses for practice? Isn't that a little unfair to the participants who paid to play doubles? Just to keep more courses open to the non paying practice rounds....I thought this was the World Championship of Doubles, It's listed as a Major, not a side pick-up friday night dubs like event.

I would think a Major would take precedence over the players just wanting to practice.

By the way........Practice? Are we talking about Practice?...... Practice?........ Practice?........ We aren't talking about a game, we are talking about Practice?....... Practice

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Chuck, You know I just wanted to reset one of the great sound bytes~ Iverson :p

I was a B-pooler in Charlotte and weather was a factor...


So again I ask....why weren't the rules followed since weather was such a factor? Per the rules, when the pools have such drastically different conditions you are supposed to cut each pool instead shuffling, and then go start the scoring over from scratch. The opponents say it isn't fair to not count the throws made prior to the cut/shuffle, but as evidenced here the differing weather conditions were already completely "not fair".

Well, Harold Duvall was the TD of record for that event, and relinquished TD status for the week to John David since Harold played in the event, and I think Mark Ellis was the Competition Director back then, and Brian Hoeniger was the administrator then (job later became known as Executive Director) so you'd have to ask them. They were all smart, experienced players and TDs even 10 years ago, so I'm sure they had a reason. I was a mere pawn in the game of life back then. I guess that hasn't changed much, either.

I've been to 12 Worlds and honestly the one I felt that the weather screwed me personally the most was Flagstaff.

We were the first group off the Snowbowl the 1st round and when we saw the weather rolling in, we were almost running through the round to get finished before we got the brunt of the storm. We played the last 4 holes in a very hard rain, and played 18 with hailstones ripping down on us. They postponed the round until later in the week. Everyone got to go back out there 4 days later and play in pristine conditions. It was at least 6-7 stroke's worth of a swing from that morning and 4 days later. That 6-7 strokes could have possibly got me in the top 5 instead of 11th.

BUT and thats a BIG BUTTTTTTT like yo mommas ;)......YOU CAN'T CONTROL MOTHER NATURE and it's just the breaks! Sometimes you will get a disadvantage and sometimes you will get to benefit from it...It's random luck. They shouldn't have any serious issues this year thank goodness.

**** it feels weird watching instead of playing :( I would be happy to play through a blizzard instead of watching from the outside.

Kev, why aren't you out there helping to keep on eye on Megan for me? :)

Baby Ryne is going to be born any day now!!!! Well whenever the CUBBIES get into 1st place ;)

Courtney is very miserable in this OKIE heat, carrying lil Ryne around... and she's very sad not to be a part of Worlds also....But we will be BACK next year in Michigan ;)

very rough doubles results...(off the top of my head, only listing cashers)

1. Anthon Rico
2. Kallstrom Moser
3. Drummand Bartmant
4. Scott Wood Bennett
T5. Schweiger Miller
T5. Schultz Lubeck
T7. Heeren Warren
T7. Koz Pinkman
T7. Bratten Hall
10. Leonard Jernigan
11. Olse Reading
12. Walker Sharp

This very rough and I'm not 100% of this, but its a pretty good idea I think

Mtl if we take anything from your results yesterday, we should expect something completely different?

:D

CONGRAT STEVIE and JOSH!!!!! That's #2 doubles titles for Stevie

Mtl if we take anything from your results yesterday, we should expect something completely different?




When I left yesterday, they told me that team Drummand had shot "3" and I asked up or down and someone said up, that is why I posted what I posted.

Don't hate cuz I just cashed in a major ;)

And for those who care, I was leading putting when I left by one over yetti. Still about 15 ppl let to go, including the best putter in the world, Mr. Anthon.

it appears your blog has crashed the server mtl.

Did anyone actually witness this or is it just what you wrote down? j/k :p

Mixed doubles results with payout is now posted.

Divisional doubles with payout is now posted as well.

All doubles are now complete. Singles will begin tomorrow morning. We have the afternoon off with the player meeting scheduled for 7:30 pm at the Bad River Casino!

I'm hoping to find a little good luck at the Bad River! :D :D

MTL a possible world champ? Right on dude I hope you win it!

it appears your blog has crashed the server mtl.



haha no, just talked with one of the webmasters and they had trouble with a server upgrade.

everything will back up tonight, I'm told.

Any picks for the world champ??? I am gonna pick Feldberg as my lock Cale as my backup and if Bennet can get a few non roller coaster like rounds togather he would be my darkhorse look for Val to get her first title for the women and the bagger Hammock in the masters divison

I'm picking Megan Stroh to cash. :)

I will stick with NorCal
Open Anthon
Women Burl
Masters Oates
Grandmasters Lee (following his brother as world champ)

Congrats to Stevie and Josh playing some awesome doubles out there. Do I dare tell them we won $2800 last year compared to their $760 this year :o
K-Mac is 100% correct in that this MAJOR should have its own identity. Right before Worlds is not the time for it. Mixed Doubles already got demoted from a MAJOR to a XC-Tier :confused:
Not an excuse, but I had to play doubles this year taking my partner around blind through the courses and I'm not talking Ray Charles either. Folks can only take so many days off from the real life.
Let's chalk it up as live and learn and hope somebody can take the awesome Doubles MAJOR to its own place.

ps-The format tweaks were a little off. RAP was not much like alternate at all, Tough shot didn't put much pressure on the putt verses worst shot and best shot last, geeeesh!

Let's let the REAL games begin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The staff is busting tail, the courses are primed and ready. It is awesome to have us all in one place again. A lot of random, spontaneous fun erupting already. Should be a fantastic Worlds.

Good luck K-Mac on your coaching task ........puuuuuuuush

Game On!!

Go Gregg, Go Nate, Go Myles, Go Kathy, Go Burl!!! NorCal rocks!!

Be sure to stop by www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com) as we will be posting daily video highlights, interviews and more.

Yo - You and Des take home 2 for for the panthers! I'm sure Kurt is praying for your success.

Scott - One of those dudes at the UNI course you used to laugh at with the bag and numerous discs.

Thats hilarious Scott, thanks!

Is it too late to register???

quote me now, Avery is going to win. That's it. I'm sorry. I wanted to follow it all week, too, but Jenkins wins. Go on with your lives, I'm gonna try.

Definitely worth the trip. Awesome set of courses, beautiful contryside, amazing staff and extra friendly people. I am glad I made the trek.

Stop the biching!! Amateur is for the love of the game...Pro is for the love of money and the game :)

after seeing and playing the courses, big arms have a great chance this year. There are so many bonus 2s where you need an arm.

I would say Avery is my pick after seeing the courses

Considering the courses, your WojLOCKS for the week...

Open Men Top 5:
1. Dave Feldberg
2. Steve Rico
3. Avery Jenkins
4. Ken Climo
5. Geoff Bennett

Those are your WojLOCKS for the week!

And if you think its odd my slipping Bennett into the top five. Its part a local thing and part the fact that I think that the courses play very kindly to his forehand game.

Good Luck to EVERYONE tomorrow..........
:D

I wish I could join you........ :(

Good luck Deano, bring another one back to Alabama.
Man i wish i was there, my daughter picked a fine time to get married!

any predictions on final 9? my blind picks are Climo,Hatfield,Doss,and Rico

any distance results?



I heard that the four distance qualifiers were Sandstrom, Jenkins, Hatfield, and Bratten. I don't know the order, other than that Sandstrom's qualifying throw was the farthest. Distance finals have been pushed to a yet to be determined time.

Boom!

I knew those two were freaks, coda and clutch, lets take it home Texas.

I'm going with a few young guns this year. Cale,Coda,Nate all top 5.

1.Leiviska

so are we going to have live scoring for the top cards like we have in the past? i know there is no 'top' card yet, but would like to see some scores while I'm at work with nothing else to do

Watch out for Mr. Mike Schwieger to be up there this year. He can crush as far as any top golfer and has already proven himself this year by winning a few events over some big names.
Good Luck!

sandstrom threw 199 meters in distance.

I heard 2 world records were broke today also



There all lucky that Chris Max Voigt isn't there...he just threw 205 meters in the WFDF World Overalls in New York

In no order,

I'm VERY disappointed that northwoodsdiscgolf.com has gone down, it had the BEST available complex map for Highbridge, and some better course tours. The ones on playdg.com are nice, but don't give you an accurate representation of many of the holes, especially the longer ones. They need more than two photos on many of the holes, multiple zoom levels up the fairway.

Am Worlds had the round scores up fairly quickly after each round. I talked to Megan 2 hours ago and she was done with her round and had driven wherever it is you have to go to get cell reception.

Come on, Chuck! :)

As the guy who did the scores for Am Worlds, I can understand the difficulty of getting scores up quickly. Scores may be slow due to a few reasons.
1. Course differences. Milwaukee was fortunate that most of the courses were pretty close to finishing around the same time. They might be waiting for all first rounds to complete?
2. They are not blessed with the fortunate abundance of internet and cell phone access that Milwaukee has.
3. I am not there. ;) Just kidding LaGrassa.

I am eager to see them as much as the next person. Rumor has it that Terry Miller &amp; Tom Jenkins (masters) shot hot and are close to the lead!

Point 1. I agree, the difference between playing Gold from the white tees and GR/BH is 30 minutes, if not more. The women were on Woodland Bear which I would imagine is the shortest of them all. Likely she was done with her round 45+ minutes before the old Senior GMs on Gold.

Point 2. Actually cell reception at the top of the hill, where the courses all meet up, is actually pretty good. I never had issues with Verizon from that location. Additionally, at the bottom of the hill by the camp grounds they've got wireless internet access, I should know, I put it all in and set it up :)

They could post individual pools if they wished, if they finished in a timely manner...they don't have to wait on every pool to finish before posting an update. Since they don't have to call scores in anywhere (all the boards are scores will be uploaded either at the house or the pro shop on top of the hill I imagine), it should actually go FASTER. They MAY be having internet issues....internet and cell phone coverage is spotty at best up there in the Cheesehead Outback.

Chap

P.S. Woj, we had trouble accessing the wireless last year from anywhere in the complex (including close to the house), but that may be something you set up or corrected this year...I'm not sure. And we KCers are mostly on Sprint, and I was lucky to even get one bar even on top of the hill last year.

I'm just anxious because I want to see where Megan's 79 sits in the FPO field, and I'm always looking to give Chuck a hard time. :D

It's far more important to service the players that are there and keep the event flowing than it is to update the on-line scores for us knuckle-heads that didn't make the trek....but that doesn't stop me from wanting to see those scores right now! :cool::D:cool:

Hey Thumber, that means we have 2 pre am world champions, and a good shootin banker up there. Awsome, go get-em boys. They got all angles covered, they should do well. Hope they return with as much hardware as the AM'S did.

Mini Thumber, 2nd place putting Champion LOL

Amen to that!!!

I talked to two open pool B players about two and half hours ago after they finished their round and he said that they were putting in scores as I was talking to him

They could post individual pools if they wished, if they finished in a timely manner...they don't have to wait on every pool to finish before posting an update. Since they don't have to call scores in anywhere (all the boards are scores will be uploaded either at the house or the pro shop on top of the hill I imagine), it should actually go FASTER. They MAY be having internet issues....internet and cell phone coverage is spotty at best up there in the Cheesehead Outback.

John - the wireless node was the Pro Shop at down at the 9 hole course by the camp grounds, not the house or anywhere at the top of the hill. That may have been one issue. The second issue is that the connection only reached the closest camp sites, as a result of the router/signal originating within a tin building.

But if you were within 1/4 mile of that Pro Shop down there, you could definitely get a wireless signal, although I think we DID have it password protected. Dunno why you'd need that out in the boonies, but we did it. :P

They got scores on the National Tour page. Chris Hartman shot a hot -11 in B pool. Keep it up Chris

SCORERS ARE UP! :)

scores are now up. wahoo!1

All round 1 scores are up except for the Legends and Senior GM Women. We'll get them up in a bit, but they just finished their round.

Conditions are very windy up here. Good, stout breeze around 25 mph!!! Watch for those round 2 scores to sky-rocket a bit. :D

Be aware that there is no electricity or Internet connection at the hilltop headquarters. We are running up to the top to get scores on the laptops, sort the boards and then running back down to the Honka House to post them up. Scoring is a bit frantic at times, but we're working through it. :D

Thank you, Ching...keep up the good work.

They better be feeding you guys! :D

IOWA represents with the Women. Come on Angie ... bring one home for the Cougars!

Anybody know where the results for field events are? distance &amp; putting inpaticuliar.

Putting results have been uploaded on the Announcements thread.

Since you can't reply on the results thread...
What is the highest possible score for the putting competition? Rico got 33 out of X possible points. Also, what does the competition entail, just increasing distances for a level putt?

Way to Go Joel Kelly!!!! :D

Beat that little Whining Midget!!! :mad:

Don't let him pull that same $#!* he did last year. ;)

Just outright Pound him into the Rock Pile !!! :eek:

If putting was anything like the past years there are stations you putt from

I think Carolina has 2 players representing, so since our IT expert MTL is playing and probably busy, can anybody tell me if there is live scoring and where to find it

Mini Thumber

3 NC'ers Roc, JJ, Smackie, and MtL

There will be some live scoring, but probably not today since the last round of the day is already out there.

We've got numerous logistical "challenges" in figuring out how to do it, but we're going to be giving it a shot starting tomorrow morning.

I'm heading back up to the hilltop to get prepared for receiving the second round scores.

We are hopeful that we'll be able to get scores up, boards sorted, and cards readied for the morning round and still be able to attend the award banquet.

For those NOT going to awards banquet, it is rumored that there will be a beer-bash at the Kastenbole #1 cabin. Still got some of that very tasty St Arnold Elissa Pale Ale left! :D
