DGLA OhCPS-W: Only 3 weeks left....Update and News 2/06/2014
OK it's been a long winter so here is long post to help fill you in on the latest OhCPS-W news.
What topics will I ramble on about in this news post:
* OhCPS - Finale?
* OhCPS - The Future is in your hands...
* January Weekly and Monthly stats update
**** OhCPS - Finale?
All of us here at DGLA are excited to see how the Ohio players have taken to the Ohio Cooperative Point Series and provided feedback and suggestions. This interaction is a great starting place for the Cooperative aspect and shows that the future of the OhCPS is great if history is an indicator the Ohio disc golf leagues are posed for some significant growth. Very exciting.
A few have asked about a event to wrap up the season. We are excited to explore this for the future with interested players and league admin in Ohio. In the mean time here is something to consider that has added excitement and the chance for more points in other Cooperative Point Series. The Raid: With a little collaboration and cooperation you can get a few local leagues to converge ("Raid") at one league round and have a super league round. Now only one league post the round so this could affect individual leagues as they have one less round for the season but the net gain is worth it and the impact is minimized if the plan is posted and discussed with the league members early. If you pick a morning league and afternoon league you can really maximize the fun with many more players, grab a bar-B for a fun lunch before the 2nd round. At the end of the winter season a few fair weather players begin to come out of hibernation and are trying to get back in the swing of the game - these types of events are a great way to get more players out and the current players smiling - The more players, the more points but even more important, the MORE FUN.
*** OhCPS - The Future is in your hands...
So you see that players make a difference; with suggestions, and even questions to help us identify what is not clear to everyone and of course the volunteers. There are many ways to get involved and help Disc Golf leagues and the sport grow and improve.
Everyone has an impact, either negatively or positively. It can be as simple as helping a league Admin during registration. These guys help ensure we have a consistent event to increase our fun. How often do we thank them for their efforts - THANKS for all you do - League Admin.
Creating a fair, safe and encouraging environment to play our sport with other players that we can share, grow and compete with, week after week, is a major factor in the growth of this sport.
Tournaments are the ultimate test of players skill at that moment, under those conditions with a strong focus on competition. Leagues bring players together week after week with more emphasis on fun while still competing, learning, sharing. Look at any sport and you will find many time more players involved in leagues and the more players in leagues means an increase in players attending tournaments.
The future of Ohio Disc Golf is in the hands of the Ohio players on the courses right now. DGLA is excited to help you define and achieve your goals and we will share what others are doing in other states.
**** January Weekly and Monthly stats update
First realize their is only three weeks left in the OhCPS-Winter 2014 - Can you tell the seasons are changing and Spring is almost here??? OK maybe we need to send mother nature a Outlook reminder but Spring weather will arrive, the bugs will start to do their thing, the casual will attack the courses as well and we will continue to play our game. Dig out of the recent snow and get ready for shorts and tee shirts soon.
45 total players have played in the OhCPS-W 2014 so far.
7 participating leagues
In January 25 players played rounds in the OhCPS-W, that is a OhCPS Record for January (OK it's the first January of the OhCPS but all records have to start some place ;-) AWESOME!
So what was the result of those January winter rounds?....
Most rounds played in a given week during January was 2 by
1 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 2
1 Larry Bright Jr. 2
1 tim toth 2
Most points in a given week with how they achieve it????
Not a big surprise the more rounds you play the higher the probability of maximizing your point accrual.
1 Larry Bright Jr. 40
How? A league round Win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 22 pts & a 4th place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 18 points.
2 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 39
How? A league round Win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 22 pts (Yeah he was Larry's partner above) & a 5th place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 17 points.
3 tim toth 37
How? A 2nd place finish at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 18 pts & a 2nd place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 19 points.
Others at the top of the weekly Points leaderboard:
1 Mike Thomas 22 1st place win at Sunday dubs
1 Kevin Daney 22 1st place win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles
1 tim toth 22 2nd place win at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
1 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 23 1st place win at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
1 Greg Platt 23 1st place win at SCDGA THE WORKS
Some other Weekly Point leaderboard top performers:
4 eric wernet 23
5 PK Deaner 22
3 Thomas Golubski 22
4 james moose graham 20
********
How did the January overall stats looks once everything was combined:
2 players made it out to play at least two different leagues during January:
1 Larry Bright Jr. 2
1 Greg Platt 2
25 players in January - 16 players played 1 round during January. 7 players got in 2 rounds, 2 players managed 3 rounds:

Well played guys....
Well the point point getter for January with three rounds,
1st place at Sunday dubs
2 x 2nd place at Sunday dubs
Mike Thomas - well done Mike.
The second highest January point getter was Thomas Golubski with three rounds at Sunday dubs, 1st, 2nd and 4th.
Both show you don't always have to win every round to accumulate a lot of points.

7 Joe Michelini 35 2
8 PK Deaner 32 2
8 Mickey Anderson 32 2
10 Kevin Daney 22 1
So we see the guys at the top of the points are also the ones who continue to show up on the # of Rounds leaderboard and also continue to perform well. Now not everyone has the opportunity to play multiple times a week and so there are some (performing) "sleepers" out there that if they could, the stats show they would be giving the leaders a run for their points.
Let's look at Average Points per Round accumulation:
Kevin Daney - Although for January he is sitting at 10th for point accumulation in January he has the highest point/round average of 22 - 1st place finish at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles. Kevin has won both of his two rounds in the OhCPS. Keep it up Kevin.
Greg Platt - Two 1st place finishes - Sunday dubs & SCDGA THE WORKS
tim toth - 2nd and 3rd place finish in two rounds - 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
10 Kevin Daney 22 1 22
3 Greg Platt 41 2 20.5
3 tim toth 41 2 20.5
5 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 40 2 20
1 Mike Thomas 58 3 19.33333333
6 Larry Bright Jr. 36 2 18
7 Joe Michelini 35 2 17.5
2 Thomas Golubski 50 3 16.66666667
8 PK Deaner 32 2 16
8 Mickey Anderson 32 2 16
