Maintenance starts this Saturday (6/9) at 10am. Scott foster will be supervising work Saturday. We are redoing 4 teepads and installing permanent sign posts. Any time you can spare is greatly appreciated. We should have all the tools necessary, just need bodies. We will also be working Sunday, I’ll post an update about that later. I’m hosting a singles round kicking off at 3:30pm Sunday with added cash and prizes to encourage volunteering: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Alcantra_Cleanup_Day_Tee_Pad_Maintenance_Tournament_2018

I'm also working at getting Lakefront Hotel as a venue.

I'm working on setting up an indoor putting league this winter. So far I have two different locations and am working on getting more. I'm thinking of having this on Tuesday nights starting at 6:00pm. Random Draw Dubs Format:

At 6:00pm, all registered players will draw a single playing card. You’ll partner with the person with the matching color and number (i.e. red 6’s, black queens).

If there’s an uneven number of players registered, I may join in, or there might be a lone wolf (Cali). Decisions will be made at the time of event.

Setup:
A putting lane consists of two opposing baskets 30′ apart. **Note that it’s inside the “circle” – jump putts are not allowed**

Two teams per lane (4 players), one player on each basket (two players on each side).
First to throw will be decided on by disc flip, and will remain constant for the entire match.

Scoring:
Two putters are thrown.
2 in = 3
1 in = 1

First to 11 wins, must win by 2.

If a team wins on a round, both players on the throwing side must complete the round, (finish the side).

Odd Team Bye:
If there is an uneven number of teams, one team will get a bye. With the exception of the first round, bye teams are automatically chosen based on being in the losing half of the bracket (only teams with losing records will be chosen).

The bye team will get a freebie win. It’s not completely free, as the bye win will not count as much as an earned win in the tiebreaker difficulty score.

Turns:
Each turn consists of teams alternating throws from one basket to the other, where their partners will be.

Alternate Throws: Team 1 throws, then Team 2 throws. Repeat.

Then the Team members from the other side throw.

Score Reporting:


Rounds:
There will be 6 rounds to determine the top 2 teams.

Teams will be paired up based on the night’s performance, as the scoring system we use calculates based on wins, losses and difficulty of opponents.

If two teams are tied in record AND tiebreak score (as determined by the difficulty of opponents faced), there will be a last chance qualifier tie breaker.

Last Chance Qualifier Round:
Any teams tied for second will playoff in a “down and back” round.

Each team gets their own lane, so one lane per team. each player from the team will line up on the SAME side of the basket. They putt, their teammate putts, they putt, their teammate putts. Scoring is the same as a round (3pts for 2, 1pt for 1). Then they both shoot back, for a maximum of 12 points.

The team with the most points moves on to the Championship Round. If teams are tied after coming back, go down and back until the tie is broken.

Championship Round:
The top two teams will face off in center court, using the same rules in the round – except the game ends at 21 instead of 11.

There will be two sessions of 16 weeks each. (October 3rd. - January 16th.) (February 6th. - May 22nd.) There will be a final championship event on May 29nd. In order to compete in May 29th. event you must have competed in at least 50% of the 32 weeks events.

We will be using a Swiss style bracket system, which allows us to do a few things:

There is no elimination – even the worst teams play all night
It matches teams closer and closer to skill level all night – most teams get at least one win
It only takes 4-6 rounds to determine who’s the best team by strength of schedule
It works byes into the system, and only gives byes to losers (with the exception of the first round)

I've been out camping and my phone got wet a couple days ago; I hope to resolve that issue today. Tomorrow, which will be Thursday, I can dedicate time before league to do any mulch spreading around pads and any other final touches that may/may not need done. There is also a good possibility that I will take the bench on hole one to refinish it's surface, so it may be absent from Thursday-Saturday morning.

Tee pads are coming for alcantra.Right now we are working on forms for the concrete pads. The plan is to order ready mix concrete from a concrete delivery company. Only way we could get this is to work is to have volunteers this saturday to haul concrete to the forms. I have a 6x6 that i can haul concrete to the pads or as close as i can get to it. but one machine isnt enough.

Because of this we are thinking of mixing bags ourselves so we need anyone who has a mixer to bring and help. We are looking to buy 300 80# bags of concrete, so we are asking for donations and/or sponsorships for pads. if people are interested in buying a hole it will be $100/hole. I talked to a few people who said they would ad we are willing to wait for that as some of us will go out of clubs funds to make this project happen. comment if you are able to help tomorrow or call/text me. 907-575-8450

Scott Foster of MSDGA will be running a $5 doubles this evening at Peters Creek at 7 pm, as MSDGA's Thursday doubles league hasn't yet commenced for the season. Brad Beiser and I moved quite a few of the pins already and we plan to try to relocate a few more this afternoon (frozen ground kept us from moving a couple) so come on out and enjoy the evening throwing some looks we haven't played in a while. Hope to see you all there!
