DGLA: MiCPS-Winter 2013 - 01/30 *** Week 10 Stats & more ***

Before I get into all the cold facts I wanted to let you know that DGLA has just accepted Member number 138.

Thanks
http://www.discgolfleagueassociation.org/Membership_/membership_.html

I'd like to congratulate all the one hundred and one players who played in the Oregon Cooperative Point Series this winter. You were a part of Oregon Disc Golf history as DGLA helped to bring the leagues, clubs and players throughout the state closer together. You also survived one of the craziest winter season in many many years.

I personally have been very excited to see how the Oregon players have taken to the state wide point series. DGLA looks forward to working with you to continue to grow and improve Disc Golf Leagues in Oregon in the years to come. In the very first season players have stepped up to try new things - Disc exchange and a Season Finale, along with several other ideas and good questions. When you walk the course and dream of where this sport could go or how leagues could be better, what does that look like? - share your ideas and cooperatively we can make it a reality.

What's Next?

14 week Oregon State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series

Sunday Nov 24th 2013 - Saturday Mar 1st 2014

Overall Summary:
# of Players 101
# of participating Leagues 8

So a quick look at the overall final standings and then some stats and trends from February.

In the top ten the first thing that jumped out at me was that the order was for the most part in line with the number of rounds played with a few exceptions. Jonathan Long with 12 rounds and 212 points took the last spot in the elite top ten overall - an amazing point total for just 12 rounds - Nicely done Jonathan. Tiger Discs with 16 rounds and 222 points tied Ira B with the same number of rounds and points to share 8th place. Now ARGO JACKSON and RYAN ROWLEY edged them out and were only separated by one point, and did it all in less rounds - only 14 rounds - for 6th and 7th places respectively. With a jump in the number of rounds to almost double - 28 rounds and almost a hundred points, begins the top 5 players starting at 5th place with Erik Gyllenskog amassing 333 pts in 28 rounds. Jesse Walker takes 4th place with 350 pts in only 24 rounds. At 3rd place there was another jump in the stats, - scottishrob -, earned 350pts in 25 rounds for a average of 17.5 points per round which was almost the highest in the top 10. Interesting the second highest points per round average was Jonathan Long in 10th place with 17.66667 pts / round but only 12 rounds - keep it going Jonathan and get some more rounds this summer. The Average Pts/round for the top 10 was 15.52 pts/round. Now the early leader for several weeks was THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS and after 25 rounds in an amazing season, where he claimed 385 pts solidly secured 2nd place. You are a "BEAST" - Nicely done. As the winter dragged on one player continued to top the weekly and monthly leaderboards and stayed strong and won 14 of his 27 rounds throughout the season. Twice achieving three league wins in a row at Friday Frolfers - Camp to Camp. The only thing missing was a winter ACE but when you are over 100 points ahead of everyone else, who needs an ACE ;-)

Congratulation to the first ever - DGLA Oregon Disc Golf League Winter Champion for 2013/2014 - Rick Saffeels. What a great achievement - great play this Winter Rick. Rick I hope your warmed up because Summer Point Series really turns up the heat. New players, more players, playing more rounds and traveling to more leagues - Man this is going to be fun...

Again congrats to all the players, and especial those who overcame the special Winter elements to achieve, to share in the joy of this sport and enjoy the amazing courses we have in all their winter glory. Grab a friend and take them out to leagues - the fun grows for everyone.

So in February we had 8 players manage to get to three different leagues and not so surprising that all 8 are in the top 17 of the overall leaderboard - seems like there is a message in those stats.

Playing the numbers game - the more rounds you play the higher the probability is that you will maximize your point total. Again those players with 4 or more rounds in February are almost all are in the top twenty of the overall leaderboard.

Erik Gyllenskog - took the top spot with 9 rounds in the month - way to get out and play Erik. Jesse Walker is also at the top of the list with 8 rounds, followed by Rick Saffeels and the "BEAST" OF THE WOODS with 7 rounds each.

Playing more should help continue your growth and add to your experience which allows you to perform in more situations at a higher level. The ultimately formula for success in the point series is consistently playing often at a high level - one measure of that is the number of wins. The highest number of league wins in February was none other than Rick Saffeels with 5 wins. Congrats to Steven Egler & Barry "B" Bolliger who both managed to secure 3 Wins in the month as well.

The name of the game in the Point Series is Points. Not surprising this month again Rick Saffeels managed to achieve the highest point total in 7 rounds of 149 points. During the same period Jesse Walker was able to come close to that point total, 141 points in 8 rounds and an ACE at CCDG Sunday Random Doubles - Hole 17 Nice shot Jesse.
