Final standings for the Frosty Brau Doubles League 2011:
Thank you to all who participated this winter, many times in blizzard conditions. Unfortunately, we never had our league end party because of the blasted weather being “wet” every time we planned it. It looks like most of the same people are playing summer so we will just have another party with the summer leagues…

The top three spots earned Berths to the Michigan State Finals, and ... more

The top three spots earned Berths to the Michigan State Finals, and the other seven will receive a custom stamped disc. We had 50 people play at least 1 round throughout the season, and 19 people qualified for a prize payout by playing at least half of the sessions.

wheres the doubles format,where old guys get 2 shots no matter what?

Ferrel Mejeur    April 7, 2011 at 11:54pm

Alternate shot can be pretty rough, does the pdga have any 3 or 4 man team formats?
Worst shot, worst score? I hate foot faults, we should all play by the same general rules, like throwing behind the disc/mini, regardless of the lie. There are some (names unmentioned) who will step out or throw beside their lie which just develops bad habits, that will continue until someone says something, but then feelings get hurt and drama insues. To each his/her own, we could all learn a thing or two about the game. Whitehall disc golf!!

I think Best Shot is the most fun but Worst Shot would be interesting to try sometime. Alternate Shot sounds interesting as well. My vote is Alternate Shot.

Food for thought via the PDGA: (Doubles formats)

Best Shot
Best Shot is by far the most popular doubles format. Both players throw from each lie (starting with the tee shot), then the team chooses which of the resulting lies to continue play from, until the hole is completed.
•A team may take a reasonable amount of time to pick which lie they want before the 30-second play clock starts.
•A lie that is picked up without being marked is gone forever; th ... more

Food for thought via the PDGA: (Doubles formats)

Best Shot
Best Shot is by far the most popular doubles format. Both players throw from each lie (starting with the tee shot), then the team chooses which of the resulting lies to continue play from, until the hole is completed.
•A team may take a reasonable amount of time to pick which lie they want before the 30-second play clock starts.
•A lie that is picked up without being marked is gone forever; the team must throw from the other lie. If the second lie is picked up, it must be replaced in accordance with PDGA rules. All lies must be marked according to PDGA rules.
•If the first player throws from the wrong lie, the second player may still throw from the correct lie.
•In case of injury or disqualification, one partner may play alone, throwing one shot at each lie (essentially playing singles).


Worst Shot
Worst Shot is the most brutal of the doubles formats, and can test the patience of even the best teams. In Worst Shot, both players throw from each lie (starting with the tee shot), then the competing teams in the group choose which of the subsequent lies will be used, with the aim of making the hole as difficult as possible. The hole is completed once both team members have holed out from the same lie.
•The 30-second play clock begins once the opposing teams have selected the lie.
•A lie that is picked up without being marked must be replaced in accordance with PDGA rules. All lies must be marked according to PDGA rules.
•Any warning or penalty incurred by a player may be chosen to apply to the team, at the opposing teams' discretion.
•A team found to be giving an opposing team a better lie will be disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior.


Tough Shot
Tough Shot is the same as Worst Shot, with the following variation: once a player on the team has holed out, the team has completed the hole.


Alternate Shot
In Alternate Shot, only one sequence of throws is made on each hole. The team selects a player to throw the tee shot at the beginning of the round. The other player then throws from the subsequent lie, and play alternates in that fashion until the round is completed. Alternate Shot is closer to a singles format, where one partner can't bail the other out. If you miss a short putt, chances are good that you'll be driving the next hole.
•If the wrong player on a team throws, another team must call it immediately, like a foot fault. The team receives a warning, and the correct player throws. Subsequent violations incur a one-throw penalty.
•For any violation that requires a rethrow (stance violation, provisional throw), the same player throws.


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.
