I can say that the Raleigh Winter Jam will not be on the series.

I am working on it!!!

I will be seeking final approval from the rest of the points series committee tomorrow.

thanks captain

Is there any further solidification of the NCPS events yet? thanks in advance

Is there any further solidification of the NCPS events yet? thanks in advance

?

Here is what I can say at this point.

There will be 20 events.
There will be 4 regions (Charlotte and West, Triad, Triangle, East of 95)
Your top 15 events count towards your total. If you play all 20, your 5 lowest point totals will be dropped. If you played 15, all 15 of your events count. If you played 12, all 12 of your events count.
To qualify for the championship you must play 1 event in each region.

The schedule is set, just waiting on the TD's of the 20 events to respond to Kirk.

The first event will be Buckhorn.

Kirk,
When do you expect it to be posted?

When it's ready!!!

I really just wanted to bump the thread, lol. ;)
Chill big guy. :cool:

That Hickory Classic date doesn't seem right because it's usually the same weekend as Labor Day and I know we discussed that date at Last Meeting

it should be the aug31-sept 1 thats labor day weekend i believe

Aug 31 is a Sunday.

According to the NC Calender Kirk emailed all TDs...

OHO is the 30th and 31st
Hickory is the 6th and 7th

Hickory has been the first weekend in September for a long time, it just usually fits in with labor day, just not this year.

oh well i was off a day but that happens, either way i will still go to hickory, as long as they have my second place envelope filled with my money all ready for me so i can just pick it up

Always our local Bridesmaid Mikey. Well I have to say that it sucks That's the weekend I go watch Pryor dominate Miami of Ohio in the BIG HOUSE.
U of M football v. frolf Football all day

i'll win the hickory classic one of these years of course i may have to wait untill i can play masters!

Hickory has been the first weekend in September for a long time, it just usually fits in with labor day, just not this year.


No it has been LABOR DAY weekend for a long time. In '03 it was in August but still LD weekend. Oh well just another one I can't play makes me wonder why I rejoined again.

Greensboro - Mooky's Cup (March 15, 2008)

This one is at Johnson Street in High Point, details to follow soon.

How can we be sure it's part of the points series ;-) ?

It would be nice to have the schedule since the TDs already have them and I guess Buckhorn was one already.

There are 20 events in the series in 4 regions (5 events in each region).

There will be no points reset at the end of the year. All tournaments have an equal amount of points.

2nd ....

I like this format: fair, all events same value, no points reset at end, good regional representation.

Great job Kirk, MicrodoTT, Stick, GodfaTTher and whoever else assisted!!!

Mike and I have been bouncing this around (with input from TD's all over the state) for quite some time.

We actually wanted to try a couple of other things but we decided to limit the changes for this year.

I spent a lot of time trying to balance the series as much as possible.

For those of you that have argued forever that Raleigh has a travel advantage over Charlotte you are right but not by as much as you think:

All of these numbers are based on Mapquest times and distances. When all is said and done yes Raleigh has a slight advantage in drive time. Raleigh has about 34 minutes less travel time on average than Charlotte has to any given event in the NC Points Series.

Here are all of the distances and times from Mapquest:

From Charlotte to:

Mountain Region

Yadkinville 73 miles - 1:10 hrs

Kirk

And remember Kirk gets to divide all these times in half when HE is driving ;) :) :D:D

I am pleased to see the changes you guys made. I like the equal value and divisional breakdowns. I also like the events that are listed. I REALLY like that points are not reset. If you earn them, you should get to keep them. You guys did an awesome job listening to players from last years series and tweaking it to make it fair. I know it took a lot of work. To anyone making a run for the points you need to thank these guys for saving you a lot of valuable time and money (trust me). Who is making a run for the Advanced Division this year? Monteith, Wiggins Jr. ??????

Don't you mean when he ROLLS out. BTW Boo on that Tie last week

And remember Kirk gets to divide all these times in half when HE is driving ;) :) :D:D



The job he has needs to have its perks...... :D

Don't you mean when he ROLLS out. BTW Boo on that Tie last week

Yeah Boyeeeeeeeee......Tied the Top in the league last week and am crushing Bizarro this week 7-3 now could be 8-3 after tonite, just need one assist to break that lone tie....... no more games this week after 2nite.......All-Star weekend!!!!!!!!!

No gain because I'll beat Dome 8-3 with his crappy TO Fouls wins and my team is hurtn

ditto, thanks Kirk!

I'm going for the driving points series, as in driving a car to the points series events while not competing.

I take it the points are distributed the same as the 100 point events of last year?

Who is making a run for the Advanced Division this year? Monteith, Wiggins Jr. ??????



yes sir

nice, good luck and enjoy.....it is a blast

I might have a liTTle something to say about this one. :)

<font color="red"> Of course Raleigh has a travel advantage over Charlotte, it always has, it always will, and it SHOULD. Raleigh is somewhat centrally located in the state, that is one of many reasons it was chosen as the capital ~200 yrs ago. In similar fashion, Asheboro dg'ers will have an average travel time ~3 HRS LESS than golfers based out of Murphy, NC or Cape Hatteras.
I don't think there is much more that these guys could do to make it any more fair for golfers statewide. Great job!!! </font>
