DGLA MiCPS-W: Only 3 weeks left....Update and News 2/05/2014
Glow Zone's in the House!!!!!
OK it's been a long winter so here is long post to help fill you in on the latest MiCPS-W news as well as some topics related to Michigan Disc Golf I have been asked about often recently.
What topics will I ramble on about in this news post:
* MiCPS - Finale?
* MDGO & Berth info
* Oregon <– O –> Michigan Disc Swap
* January weekly and Monthly stats update
**** MiCPS - Finale?
Several players have asked about a MiCPS Finale. I was very excited to see the Oregon Players were also interested in how to enhance the OrCPS experience and try and get the top players together for a shoot-out at the end of the season. Rick Saffeels has lead the charge and created the "DGLA (Oregon) Winter Series State Throw Off", http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/DGLA_Winter_Series_State_Throw_Off_2014
Two rounds tournament after the Point Series wraps up, top player invitation, Top finishers in 2nd round playoff. If you like the idea post in the Talk section so we can gauge interest.
In the mean time you can consider another option to help wrap up the MiCPS-W with a Bang in your local area. With a little collaboration and some cooperation you can get a few local leagues to converge at one league and have super league rounds. If you pick a morning league and afternoon league you can really maximize the fun with many more players, and probably a few fair weather players who begin to come out of hibernation and are trying to get back in the swing of the game - Cha Ching $$$
**** MDGO & Berth info
Discraft Michigan Disc Golf Championship Aug 30- 31 2014 Labor Day Weekend. OK the premier tournament in the state, a weekend full of great disc golf and fun with friends from around the state and beyond. This is event is made possible by a lot of dedicated players organized by the Michigan Disc Golf Organization - a major undertaking and they get some great support from Discraft the main sponsor.
The MDGO also bring the Michigan clubs together to work out the yearly PDGA sanctioned tournament schedule to avoid conflicts of events to close to each other and plan 10 Featured events which are fund raisers for the Championship and run a Plant a Basket program to help encourage new courses. The list goes on. such as the exclusive MDGO Glow Zone's fund raiser disc. Get your Glow On with these long lasting GLOW Zone's - Get into the Glow Zone....
If you are wondering how to secure Berths for your club or get your events on the schedule or be more a part of the direction of Disc Golf in the state of Michigan get involved with the MDGO. There is a Yahoo group for info and messages and meetings a few times a year. Contact MDGO to learn more: http://www.mdgo.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=7
Berths - there are 466 berths to the 2014 Michigan Disc Golf Championships in Ludington this Labor Day.
+180 Berths awarded at MDGO Feature Events (18 Berths x 10 Events)
+ 286 Berths available for distribution by local clubs / organizers
Now of those 286 - DGLA has 6 for the DGLA Player level members. 2 will be awarded this Winter and 4 this summer. Currently there are only 20 DGLA Player level members. Given that many of these die hard players will win berths at their local leagues and tournaments that gives a high probability to all the DGLAplayer level members to get a berth. The Winter season deadline has passed but you can still get in for the Summer Point Series.
All Berth Winners Must Pre Register By Aug. 22, 2014 This is important - it's great to win a berth but you must register by Aug 22nd or the berth will be lost as it is added to the Last Chance qualifier event
Well so far there are 11 Oregon disc collected and 15 Michigan discs. There is still time as the dead line is Feb 28th. I am currently holding off collecting more Michigan discs to keep the numbers close but if your interested in adding to your collection, adding some interest to your CTP or award disc selection let me know.
First realize their is only three weeks left in the MiCPS-Winter 2014 - Can you tell the seasons are changing and Spring is almost here - I think it's buried under a few feet of Snow still.
423 total players have played in the MiCPS-W 2014 so far.
33 participating leagues
In January 269 players played rounds in the MiCPS-W, that is a MiCPS Record for January and achieved during record breaking crazy Michigan weather - Double AWESOME!
So what was the result of those cold winter rounds?....
Most rounds played in a given week during January was 4 by Jay B, who was also at the top of the weekly Rounds leaderboards 3 of the 4 weeks.
Also a great week for Justin Dean who made it out to get 3 rounds the week Jay got his 4.
Most points in a given week with how they achieve it????
Two 1st place wins - both Double points - Nicely done...
Jay B 90pts
Two top finishes and an Ace - Cha Ching!
Scott Sprow 85
Other top point achievers for a week in Jan.
1 Jay B 82
2 Justin Dean 78
2 John McAskin 78
How did the January overall stats looks once everything was combined:
31 players made it out to play at least two different leagues during January, 22 players hit 2 and 9 hit a few more....
Leagues
1 Jay B 5
2 Scott Sprow 4
3 Justin Dean 3
3 Victor Wahl 3
3 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 3
3 Wade Calvert 3
3 Adam Schneider 3
3 Ben Calhoun 3
3 Bo Fought 3
269 players in January - 176 players played at least 2 rounds during January. 98 players got in 3 or more, 50 got in 4 or more, 12 got in 5 or more... 1 got in an insane number of winter rounds....
