INTERMEDIATE:
2) Bryan Kegley defeated 4) Isaac Prest 2 UP for the INTERMEDIATE Championship
1) Keith Kenyon defeated 3) Josh Ehrendreich 1UP for 3rd Place in INTERMEDIATE
I hope everyone sees the fun and values Match Play because it is something you will see in future disc golf events and will need to learn how to adjust your game because of the format.
I would like to run a Match play only league in 2015 and plan to run Match Play Only Tournaments at every course I run leagues at . . . so stay tuned this winter for those plans.
Regardless Match Play really equalizes league play because it forces those that only could attend 5 weeks to prove they have the ability to play against those who play 8 or 9 or even all 10 out of 10 weeks and to do so on a head to head format. It also forces those that may have played 10 weeks to prove they have the ability to stand up against the other good shooters who attend less league rounds but may shoot better scores. Either way . . . I hope Match Play gets embraced and this is only the second league I have tried Match Play for the finals . . . this league seemed to be better received than Valley View. I know those that lost high seeds are disappointed . . . but at the same time it shows that everyone is capable of a win every now and again. Don't get disheartened by the loss . . . just learn from it and move on . . . there will be other chances . . . like in 2015!
