Well we're about to get another ratings update today...

who's moving where? Up or down? smile or frown?

Will Devan pass Coda in rating? Jared back up over 1000?

Got a text from Wilkes last night, he thinks hes dropping back below 981...

Can josh crowl or adam hunt bust the 990 barrier??

Post your rating and whether or not you went up or down once it drops later today.

What about all the up and comers? How high will gary jump? Seth? Who is going to be the highest rated Tulsa Am player?

I think I will jump up 6+ points....Hopfully Jared can get over 1000 again.

(I know im not from Tulsa)

my bet is gary will go to 961.

where u movin slim? up or down? id have to guess you're on an upswing

Where is your's going Paul?

I expect mine to drop a few, then back up on the next update.

to be honest, i have no clue. I was surprised to be at 985 last update. so I don't really expect it to go up a lot if it does.

I think by the next update It will be higher than 985, but this one it may just hover.

I think I will be third rated in my crew (adam josh me triska) i predict josh will be around 990, adam 988, me 986? triska 945

look out for adam in the next update though, hes got a lot of 1000 rated tourneys that will start to hit his resume by the next update. I think if adam and josh keep playing big tourneys and travelling, they will be pushing 1000 rated by this time next year. but they gotta play the big tourneys like they are doing.

where u movin slim? up or down? id have to guess you're on an upswing

908 is the highest ive ever been rated, and most of the rounds i played since the last update were higher than that. i'm hoping for something 912-915.

I jumped from 860 to 886. I was hoping for over 890 but this is pretty close.

Headed for 920 so look out!!!!!

nice jump mike! 20+ points

coda back in the 1020s! solid!

crowl nipping at 990 at 989!

brad workman making a huge jump to 994... look out 1000 club...

i actually went to 988, surprisingly

my boy aaron triska... 951!! big jump for him from 917

post your rating moves!

Down 2 to 955. Not as bas as I though considering Duncan.

how is jared pennington not current? hes gotta be current right??

He has to be. He played the A tier in Emporia.

833, :D now that is about the right number for how I am able to score

think that is about rigt for PRO ledgends all I need is to hang in for another 15 years.:cool:

I moved up 10 points and now sittin' at 931 rated... I haven't had any solid rounds lately and haven't played many sanctioned events this year yet sooo... I'm hoping that one of these days those 800 rated rounds will disappear. I jumped straight into competitive Disc Golf after six months of playing and have been loving it ever since! My goal this year is to not shoot anything below my rating (which I failed at during HCC:o) and to reach 975 by years end.. we'll see!

i dropped a point. 908 --> 907. oh well.

just gotta get out and practice more.

****, dropped 8 points! But Alma is coming up and for the first time in a while I am feeling and playing really well. I'd like to be 940 by the end of the year. (Slim) was that you I was ready to kill on the BA yesterday???

me josh and adam all did the exact same thing man, just takes about a year to year and a half to drop those 800s, you gotta play some more sanctioned rounds if you can though.

your rating will eventually catch up to normal. its just takes time, its one reason that it sucks for us here in tulsa! we get a lot of new good players moving their rating up quick, and it kinda smashes the ratings a little in tournaments, its cool though, sooner or later they will settle out, we are already a force to be reckoned with.

how cool would it be to see a national city versus city tournament, too bad that will never prolly happen, i bet we would rank HIGH

whoops extra post

jared penningtion 989 (thats so bogus!! should be muchhhh higher...)

james hall 997!!!!

james come play some tulsa tourneys and dole out some of those ratings points up here!! we're always coming down there!

Up two points to a 912 now...

up 18! look out it keeps going up! :P 918 i cant play rec any more :( 1 more update i should be close to 940 :D i drop like 5 rounds in the 800s next update :D

Shipley:
You should keep it 918, 'cause you're in the 918. Got rid of that stink 68 last night.

888 no change... But have enjoyed every point of it!!!:D:D

Sweet, 8 point jump to 979.

Im glad I get put in the same pool as Wiggins(1002) and Cody K(1016) at Am Worlds..

So does this mean you will finally move up after this year ?
Ha Ha Ha.....
JK.... Maybe :)

Maybe....Lets see how well I can do at worlds. :)

already that time again... ratings update in 5 days! up or down?

I think I might go up, hopefully my bad tournaments dont bring me down too hard.

where is your rating going?

probably no where. last two tournaments were 898 and 990 average.

probably no where. last two tournaments were 898 and 990 average.

well thats because you let Dr. Jekyl play one tournament and Mr. Hyde play the next... obviously you enjoy bagging your rating :) or is that the benefits of remembering to take your centrum silver and paying a caddy one weekend and playing the next weekend cold turkey with your bag and belongings on your own back?

Niether of those rounds had a caddie. Neither of those rounds had the same player show up. Both were in Arkansas. At least I took my 898 and accepted it. Did not DNF.

http://www.21softs.com/emoticons/images/lolabove.gif

actually I saw those results of the 990 tournament... that is some great shooting. well done!

And it was one of your rounds. Even with it being a 990, I missd 7 putts form the circle line.:eek::cool:


We need to have Logan desing you guys a custom shirt for USDGC.
Not this one but somthing on this line with discs.

Well, you may go up since I didn't realize the update was due by the 5th for the Alma Greens :o (It's turned in now so it'll be on the next update)

im going up up up up!!! from 889 to 970 this year, u watch :) alma was kinda screwed, only shot 933.5 avg i should jump to 940 my math is thinking. not bad 889, 900, 918, 940 in the last 4 updates

How much would you like to wager on that prediction?:eek:

not bad 889, 900, 918, 940 in the last 4 updates

nice climb

i like the idea actually, but i dunno about the three musketeers...

which prediction? the 970 by the end of the year or 940 this update? :P if i had money to make more tournaments id prolly already well on my way to 970 :P wanna sponsor me wise?

kinda sucks not being the most underrated player in the world any more :D

crappy, if alma isnt going to be in it i wont go up that much, i needed alma to drop my last 800s round :P

i went 942 from 929
anyone better than a 13 point jump

nice jump jerry! 13 points is a strong move.

up 3 to 991 myself

Down 2 ... boohoo! Next update I'm dropping like a boat anchor

Down 2 ... boohoo! Next update I'm dropping like a boat anchor

... that's cuz I tole ya : you been playin' like "Betty White" out there ... snap-out-of-it buddy ...

Devan and Paul put the "shock and awe" campaign down on the Texans in Levelland this weekend. Way to go, boys!

super lame, only up 10 to 928, the ratings changed for haikey.. i have an 895 round now when my lowest before was like 915 from haikey, was this because it was never changed to a 24 hole layout? im epic depressed. i was averaged at 933 for haikey when the tournament had ended, now its average 920 an i have another sub 900 round nuking my rating!

**** shame billy lund isnt current, hes up to 1006 :)

If he is not current, then he isn't receiving ratings.

you get ratings, you just arent supposed to be able to see them, but their current rating still comes up on tournament list

http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=9740#Intermediate

he didnt put his pdga # in the glide, but haikey shows him rocking the big 1006

up 4 to 911. highest ive ever been rated, which is still nothing to be jumping for joy about. however, the two poop-sicle rounds i played last weekend will probably pull me right back down...

i always thought that ratings were figured as 1 throw = ~10 points. why is it averaging 13-15 points per throw at the river? anyone know?

it varys by course and is affected by the SSA and the propogators, I think.

Slim, I just looked back at the 07 Glide and it was 14 points a stroke. McCoy always said Riverside and Chandler were ratings killers. I also looked at an event I played this year at Chandler. The short course was also 14 points a stroke, while Moose Run was 12 points a stroke. The Haikey Classic was 7.5 per stroke and the Emporia A tier was 10.5, 9 and 9 across the three courses.

yuck!

yeah, 7 strokes was a ~100 point ratings difference last weekend. what stinks about that is that it's probably not stinky enough to get dropped from my ratings.

the 3rd round at mitch park for the edmond tourney was only 6-7 points a stroke. I originally thought it was because the pros were shooting 65-70 and the rec players were shooting 95-105.

i went 942 from 929
anyone better than a 13 point jump


Sarah with a 17 point jump to 816... I moved up 4 to 935..

Update tomorrow -- who's moving up? who's dropping?

if PDGA drops rated rounds that are 75 points below my rating, then i'll be ok. otherwise, i'm dropping 6-8 points. yay for crappy rounds!! :)

991 to 994 ----> +3

Too many stupid bad rounds on there!! ugh! 1000 in time. in time.

still at 935.. sarah in @ 802... -14. :(

well, they dropped one of the bad rounds. and to be honest i deserve to have it weigh me down. no excuses for shooting 55 at the river.

but my rating stayed at 911. better than dropping!

im trying to figure out why im not on the rookie of the year standings, i should be :( we will see what pdga says, i emailed them

Paul, after looking over your stats I would have to agree. It appears you should be #2 on that list.

Using 1 major/NT and 4 b tiers or above, you have averaged 1001.8 and had an average finish of the top 20%.

Also, Drew patton, who is listed at the bottom of the rookie list has an averge rating of 983 and you have beaten him head to head twice. But they will not use head to head for the ROY calculations.

so you can still be considered a rookie after two years of playing pro?

That could be your answer Paul.

Paul was on the preliminary ROY list but was eliminated based on records indicating he accepted cash on July 18, 2009 before Pro-Am Worlds 2009. That made 2009 his Rookie year. Waiting to accept cash after PW2009 would have made 2010 his rookie year.

In that case the TD reported incorrectly. Paul declined all cash until the 09 Worlds was over.

Its the riverside Glide for 09. They show him accepting $25 cash.
http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=9419#Open

Treat, wasn't this your event?

Please contact them for the correction.

Paul was on the preliminary ROY list but was eliminated based on records indicating he accepted cash on July 18, 2009 before Pro-Am Worlds 2009. That made 2009 his Rookie year. Waiting to accept cash after PW2009 would have made 2010 his rookie year.

Chuck I sent you an email. Let me know what I need to do to help correct the miscommunication. Mike Treat was the tournament director for the riverside glide on july 18, 2009. I declined that cash and it passed down to the next player.

Does mike need to contact someone at the PDGA to get this cleared up? I appreciate any help.

Dave Gentry will review and confirm. If confirmed, Paul moves into second in the current ROY standings with a 1004 Avg Rating so far.

Thanks for the help and fast communication!

Paul, you are correct in that you did not accept cash at the 2009 Glide. I will do whatever to correct the problem..

I know David Gentry and he is a fair guy so I do not anticipate any issues.

Hmm, had to be my tournament causing the problem:(

Mistakes happen. You do a great job running tournaments!

At least with it being your tournament, it will be easier than trying to contact a TD from out of State to correct it.

Does Rookie of the Year receive cash??

I should have negotiated with Paul before admitting he is right!!!

Thanks to chuck and dave gentry for getting the change made so fast!!!

http://www.pdga.com/files/documents/ROY_July_2010a.pdf

Thanks for chiming in Mike... messing with non-current tdsa member payout scale and messing with entering in payout online to the pdga... you're the payout king! :)

Told ya.............#2 buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

niiiiice.

now paul.. go win shunga and go win the OO and you'll be a lock. no pressure. :)

congrats on the accomplishment nonetheless though :)

I'm not under the impression that catching oscar will be an easy task.. I would have to play some very consistent golf. will do my best though!!!

No problem Paul, glad to help and sorry for the confusion.

I should know this but, wasn't Adam Hunt in contention last year???

Tulsa continues to produce solid golfers!!

... good , quick fix there , fellers ... they could have always checked here also (from the State Championships in May) :

Nice rookie year Paul! You, Adam, and Josh have gotten good fast and one of you has actually managed to keep a girlfriend in the process:)
I don't think we have ever had a Rookie of the Year from Tulsa, but it would be nice!

... start paying heed ... and checking these 'current' rating numbers ... they will be determing-factors in the Weeks ahead ... ( an all-new Thread coming s-o-o-n ) ... very cool ...

Rating down to 812 can I play in the advance grand ma division now? :D

ratings up
"Team discraft" josh crowl 998
"Detonation" Dorries 998
adam "does this guy wanna be good?" hunt 993


who else is up this update??

I climbed a little 961 now.

Hmm, I dropped one point but...

I DNF at the latest Twisted Open but it did rate my first two rounds..

I wonder if this is a change in policy? I thought if you DNF'd none of the rounds were rated..

Down to 811, should be under 800 by this time next year!
Getting ready for the handicap division :D

given my crappy performance in three of my last four tournies, i should be thankful i only dropped 4 points.

does anyone know how many points one must accrue to be automatically invited to am worlds? is it 1000?

I have always been under the impression that any round you finish that is rated goes toward your rating, regardless of if you finish the entire event.

Mike, take it from the person that perfected the "Wise Move".... you only get to drop the round you dnf on. If you finish a round and its crap, then you get to keep it. I have only one dnf for rating protection. The other dnfs were for temper or I had all the fun I could handle and didn't want any more, which goes back to the temper thing.:cool:

Thanks for the clarification. I continue to learn new things all the time!!

I totally agree that once a round is completed it should count. For some reason I thought it was based on the entire tournament..

I was done anyway that day so all is well...

Seth +9 = 944
Sarah +30 = 832

im happy withe the jump... :)

i proboly have the slowest climb to 926 in history, and still holding there.

end of year ratings are out!

i jumped 6 points to my personal best, 913. now to just get rid of those stupid rounds and play to my potential..........

Crowl is in the 1000 club at 1001, and Dorries is at 999! **** we got some good golf in this city!

This coming from a previous 1# ranked amateur in the world...

I'm not saying...I'm just saying....

For a short time I was. 2005 I believe. Disc Golf is a funny game. It has taken me nearly 11 years to discover that I can�t play it

up 7 to a record high of 933.

ratings came out a day early.

i see SEVEN oklahoma golfers in the 1000 club.

correct me if i am wrong, but is this the first time all three of our ORU boys have been 1000 at the same time?

Congrats Devan, Coda, Ron, Josh, Sammy, Paul, and Adam.


then if you scroll all the way down into the trenches of the am men page, i am at an all-time personal best of 920. woohoo!

Slim that statement is accurate. We are all now 4 digits! Congrats to Adam for making the leap for the first time!

OK has some salty golfers! Even some old ones that aren't too shabby.

I moved up to 895...They used 41 rounds.

My last 6 rating updates have all used over 30 rounds, 4 of the 6 have used 40 plus rounds..

Up from 915 to 920... Blah

Seemed like the best place for this.

In the most recent ratings update i am still missing my Devil's Den round ratings being calculated into my overall rating. I am still fairly new to ratings and such so what causes this? My rating dropped a few points but i know with Devi'ls Den would be back where it was so i am curious if there is anything i can do for it to be added in?

Anything info would help. Like i said still not clear on all ratings stuff so feel free to school me. Thanks in advance!

You'll have to ask the TD. It is up to him to send in the data and fees.

I am now rated 910...yes I finally broke the 900 plateau!
