Cost: There is no fee to be in the MiCPS-W 2010/11, you just play league rounds in participating leagues and your scores are automatically included. You must have a Disc Golf Scene profile which is also free.


Key highlights and details for Winter:

Winter Aces: Worth 50 points – League Admin – this is automatically calculated so if you want to use a different point system for your individual league Aces you can.

Ice Cold Points: If the temperature drops below 15 degrees with wind chill for your league round, the league Admin just needs to notify us and we will confirm the weather data and update the schedule for that league round to Double Points.

HLW: The Highlighted League of the Week (HLW) schedule will be indicated on the Schedule. The league dates are highlighted in light green with the comment “Double points!”. Get out and get some double points. This is a great time to make it out to one of the other leagues or courses.

Ice Cold Points and HLW - Double points will not combined for quadruple points – chill’n thought thou.

Remember the MiCPS automatically keeps your best two rounds per week when calculating your MiCPS total points. This is automatically recalculated when ever new scores are posted or scores are updated.

New this Season:

League Pools: A new option this season provides leagues more visibility to all players and some extra competition during the MICPS Winter Finale. Leagues can decide to gather some extra funds throughout the season. They determine and post their qualification requirements so players know in advance (example: player must have played 5 regular league rounds during the session to be eligible). The amount in the league pool is posted by the league like an Ace Pool to build the excitement as the League Pool grows throughout the season. The league’s League Pool amount and qualified players list is provided at the end of the season and available at the Finale. Players can see which League Pools they are also competing in during the Finale, how much extra $$$ and with whom they are competing against for each League Pool they qualified for. A little extra competition with the players you play league with most often, and a little extra money added to the overall payout of the event. Each league with a League Pool is more involved with the Finale and highlights their critical role in the success of the Mi Cooperative Point Series. Should be a Win/Win for leagues and players. You must play in the Finale to have a shot at the extra money and honors.

Leagues can purchase MiCPS berths to award to players how ever they see fit. League purchase berth and the spot is annotated with league’s name until player name is provided. Note all MiCPS-W berth must be awarded and submitted to DGLA by March 12th. ( 2 weeks before Finale)

League rounds for MiCPS-W points end Mar 19th, a week before the Finale. Leagues can continue but the MiCPS-W points stop accumulating based on regular league play. The Grand Finale is the last chance for points.

We are looking forward to an exciting Winter of Disc Golf Leagues.
