I heard somw scuttlebut on another thread about Texas Teams. Does Live Oak have a team? What do I have to do to get on the Live Oak team as an Intermediate?

Of course as the rookie I'm comfortable with carrying the bags, buying the beer, and being the brunt of your jokes. :D

I believe any course can organize a team. Live Oak, Universal City, Nani Falcone, McClain, Lackland, Etc;. I think the teams are divided by established and new course, depending how long the course has been in the ground. They have different player divisions (Open, ADV, Int). You can even start your own team, they all need captains. I didn't get to play last year but definetely want in on one this year.

Emerging is not just based on how long a course has been in the ground, it is more about the overall skill level of that area. In past years, some established areas tried to slip in that way, and were shot down by Mr. Houck. Ask Round Rock and their desire to field a Rivery team last year. Many parts of the state don't have pros, ladies and such and that has more to do with it, as I recall.

i played on the UC emerging team last year and definatly want in this year on any team that will have me.

Let's start a Brian McClain team. I'll volunteer to coordinate. So far we've got:
Scott - INT
Orlando - Pro
...

You have one of the best am ladies to help fill out that team too.

Stacey P.

Bottomline, first priority is having fun, and then all that competitive stuff. LOL

I'm sure we'll be bringing at least two established teams again and probably an emerging b/c we had so many guys last year that got left out.
:cool:

With a 3rd Coaster filling one spot on that SM team...
I'm not sure who I'll be playing for, but I will be there, no doubt.


<font color="blue">...Now accepting offers :D</font>

If you're referring to Mike Smith, I don't think he's going to play for us this year. Last I heard he was going to play for Corpus this time. :confused:

So what does the First Place Team win anyway?

Bragging rights for a year!!!!!

Bragging rights for a year!!!!!



That aint all, you also get,...


Bragging Rights For A Year!!!!! :D

i can play int or adv and i'm willing to play on any team from the san antonio area.

I didn't want to assume ... Stacey ... you in?

She's in....

UC is bringing 1 emerging team and would like to form another. we still need a few players on the "A" team and the whole "B" team. anyone interested let me know and we can go form there.

Didn't UC have an emerging team last year? I thought you could only be an emerging team once.

Just to be clear...............I'm always in for disc golf and I'd love to be on a team.

McClain Team - if Live Oak doesn't have a spot for me then I'm yours. I wasn't very clear when I told Bird.......yes......I meant that if LO didn't ask I'd be game for Team McClain. However, Laura has already been asked to be on LO team so, it's looking like McClain might be the spot for me to fill.

Sorry for the confusion!

Oh so now we're playing 2nd fiddle to the LO team. Just Kidding :D. That is what I gathered after talking to you this weekend. By the way NICE JOB ... AGAIN!!!!

You and Bird know the crew around this area a lot better than I do so if you know of anyone I should contact to be on the team let me know.

it is my understanding that you can h ave an emerging team 2 years then you must move up. i think i need to verify that though.

Do we have dates yet?

Texas Teams is at Circle R Ranch in Wimberley on November 17 and 18. Does anyone know what divisions make up Emerging and which make up Established? :confused:

From last year:

Emerging - 6 Players:
3 Advanced
3 Intermediate

Established - 9 Players:
2 Pro
2 Advanced
2 Intermediate
1 Pro Master
1 Amateur Woman
1 Swing Player (Pro Woman, Grand Master, or Advanced Master)

Thanks :)

We've got several questions about emerging and the "rules" governing the qualifications etc that was emailed to Houck earlier this week. I'll let you guys know what he says.

My thoughts, let's all just go and have FUN!

Based on their website:

"Every course in Texas is invited to send a team. Teams may also represent schools, ultimate teams, or other organizations. Some courses send more than one team."

Based on this any course or any organization can send a team. Just get 9 people or 6 people together, call it an organization and register.

Seems a little odd that you could "emerge" twice, but if Houck allows it then that's that.

It says on their webiste it is for newer courses or smaller towns. so if you are a small town you can always play emerging. There is one way around that ... just form a 9 person team :)

That is a basic guideline that hasn't been updated in years.

It's not as basic as that. Many of us who've been participating for years still don't understand the criteria John uses for this division. The Rivery from Georgetown was denied emerging last year, and somehow, UC was blessed and approved.

In reality, I think the spirit Houck was trying to champion was skills and resources. The new course in Timbucktwo that doesn't have local pros or highly skilled Advanced players, those were the intended beneficiaries of emerging.

The course that is right down the road...and has a good size pool of skilled players...........I don't think that's what he trying to accomplish.

In Houston, we've always played established, no problem here, and the excuse about not having an am woman can be fixed as we have girls who can "fill-in" where needed.

We all know that UC and the local area fits into the established venue.

See, it was a fun event in the beginning, and then the COMPETITION NUTS tried to take the fun out of things with stacked teams. Jay &amp; Des Reading on any team was a good example of that strategy.

Not everyone can field a seriously competitive team, but WE ALL CAN GO AND HAVE A FUN TIME.

See you all in November.

sounds like UC needs a few more players then. anyone interested PM me. i will figure out where the people from last year fit in as we have enough players.

The more the Merrier!

We've had entry level advanced playing open spots, and they had a great time. Even had Pro Women play Intermediate slots, too. Ask Andi L. or Coffee how much fun they had doing it.

San Marcos pretty much brought the same emerging team 4 years in a row. We took last place the first two years and then 2nd and finally won the emerging division. After winning emerging they were told they had to bring an established team the next year. In the spirit of competion our boys moved up to established, leaving a lot of guys still wanting to play, so I formed another established team a week before last years tournament. My point is, you can roll with a crew you've had for years, or you can slap something together in less than a week like I did and still end up beating your in-town rivals!! :D :D:eek:
Either way, like Susan said it's should be more about the fun and not the competition.

BTW- What's wrong with having Jay and Des, we'll take em'!!

I played on the UC team in emerging and had a blast. I definitely want to play this year.

Anybody need a good Advanced player? :cool:

I'll let the bidding begin at $500.

Who's on UC and Live Oak? I know Live Oak was posted somewhere but I can't find it!

No Worries Mate :D

I just want to wish all the teams going good luck !!!! It doesn't matter who you play for as long as we bring it back here. A little smack talk is cool. But let's do the best for our disc golf community. Like I said good luck to all! Later.

Looks like a sweet matchup on the first day between Live Oak and McClain.

Good luck to all participants!

Hopefully we meet in the championships! :D

Good Luck to all playing TEAMS!! Represent well and bring home the GOLD!!

Awesome, Mclain &amp; U. C. both undefeted the first day. Congrats &amp; good luck on Sunday! Kick some arse!!!!!! :D:D:D

McClain!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:)

I so wanted to see a 3 way 9 person alternate shot playoff after the mixmaster with Live Oak in it. That could actually rival the penalty shot in hockey for the most exciting play in sports. Goo job to all the team!

Way to Represent UC, Live Oak and McClain south texas Disc Golf Lives On.

McClain, UC, and Live Oak all sent teams that represented our area well. Congrats to UC for placing second in Merged and McClain for placing third in Established. I was pulling for Live Oak in the mixmaster, but they came up just one stroke shy of the quaterfinals. Hell of a run!

I looked for the thread where Liiiive Joke loves all over themselves but could not find one. It's not there because you all did nothing /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif :D. Unless your satified with missing the QF by one stroke at TX Teams. :(

ummmmm can you taste that humble pie /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Should have stayed with us and had a piece of the pie. ;)

I have an idea for next year. ALL of the teams from our area campout in one area. That would be sweet! What do y'all think?

I'm not sure there's an area big enough for Bird's head.

I'm just happy with the way we REPRESENTED as a TEAM and had lots of fun. Just Trash Talking.....Take It!!! You would have been saying good things about yourself if you would have just "played better yesterday". ;). Good Luck Next Year! :)
