Hey guys, With the current season and championships over I would like to get started on the next one. If anyone has any points events ready to schedule for the fall please send them my way so I can post them on the website as well as plan my events around them. During the fall I would like to just bring my group to other clubs events as it's easier for the schedule and just host my own in the spring since we host on Sundays. I look forward to another great season of golf with you all and congrats to the final four as well as Josh Taylor for winning this weekend.

Please send all dates to be scheduled to [email redacted] as I always miss the notifications on here

For those of you attending the event at Chippewa Banks there will be a MDGO State Finals berth given away on behalf of Black & White. The golfer that scores the most Match Play Points at the end of the day will win the berth and be invited to the Michigan State Finals over Labor Day. Any ties will be decided by the amount of birdies in the singles round. The golfer must be a member of one of the 8 sanctioned MiMPA clubs to be eligible.

Seeking ideas on how to 'score' the matches in the Championships as part of the Club Competition. Because the plan is to 'seed' all club players randomly into separate 'regions' to ensure that no two club players would play each other until the round of 8, one way to score the first two-rounds would be to award each club 1 point for each match won.

Should the rounds of 8, 4 and 2 be scored differently? Is one point for each round be the fairest way to determine the Club Match Play Champions? Should the brackets for the final 8 be 'reshuffled' so as to avoid as many club v club match-ups as possible to allow each club an equal chance at winning the max possible points?

Remember, each Club will designate 3 scoring players during the Championship as some may have more than 3. The Club that scores the most points in the Championship gets their $200 annual membership fee waived for the next year.

Format for the championships. If we send players out in two-somes and play strict match play--picking up and moving once a hole is decided--might allow us to play three 18 hole rounds the first day rather than beginning with back-to-back 12s. What think you all? We could set this up so that the four players in the same region would begin within one hole of each other so that the second match (WvW and LvL) begins immediately following the conclusion of those two matches. And, finally, because the team championships provides an incentive for the LvL match, those monies ($25 for a win last year) can now be reallocated.

Thoughts on the team championship. Each founding club may identify a maximum of 4 scoring players during the tournament. Those players will each be randomly 'seeded' in different 'regions' guaranteeing that no two players from the same club will face each other prior to the round of 8. The three players each club would 'berth' in will be at the discretion of the club. The 4th player would have to be one of the 7 qualifiers, or the returning champion. For example, if Scott Wilson is one of the top 7 qualifiers, Club Dead can award their 3 berths to 3 other players of their choosing to comprise a team of four.

Thoughts on 'sanctioning' events. Each of the founding clubs may host one sanctioned event per month (meaning points earned there go toward qualifying). Events must be announced at least 30 days prior, and include a minimum of one 18 hole round (doubles or singles) and a maximum of two 24 hole rounds (one doubles, one singles). No events may be scheduled after May 31, 2014.

The plan is to take a vote (either by email in advance, posting here in advance or in person) on Saturday, September 14th following the Great Lakes Collegiate Open held at Blue Gill. Running concurrent with the collegiate matches, Club Dead will be hosting the first match play event of the season. Students will tee off at 9:15 and play 24 holes, we will tee off at 9:30 and play 18 holes. Lunch will be served on site.

I will post a suggested 'slate' to be voted on well in advance of the event. Stay tuned.

Assuming 12 founding clubs, each club would be guaranteed 2 berths to the 2014 Championships making 24. The other 8 berths to fill out the field would go to the top individual points earners in the MiMPA series (of which the MIDGC will only be a part). Format/Payouts for the 2014 event might then look like this:

1st: $1,000
2nd - 500
3rd - 400
4th - 300
5th - 8th - 100 each.
All 16 one-match winners would receive $25.00

24 player dubs held Sat. (after two back-to-back 12 hole match play rounds - played while the final 8 play one 18 hole match)
1st - $400
2nd - 300
3rd - 200
4th - 100

28 player dubs held Sun. (played while the final four play one 18 hole match to get down to 2 followed by a second to determine 1, 2, 3 & 4 place)
1st - $400
2nd - 300
3rd - 200
4th - 100

We also need to identify all clubs and individuals committed to being part of the founders group, and schedule a meeting for the purpose of formally adopting the constitution. So far, the following clubs will be part of that group: Big Rapids Disc Golf, Friends of Newaygo State Park, Battle Creek Disc Golf, Black & White Interactive, and Club Dead Disc Golf. Likely additional clubs/individuals are Bluegill, Mt. Pleasant Disc Golf and then clubs or individual memberships coordinated by Tate Handy, et al, Dan Treece, et al, and another by Tim & Dan Glass. That would give us 10 clubs! Let's shoot for 12!! (Perhaps Brennan Billow at MSU and Mitch Hubbard at GVSU).

I'd like to propose that we confirm our dates for both the 2014 Michigan Match Play Championships AND the 2015 Michigan Match Play Championships soon. I am thinking we coordinate hosting the 2014 event with the Mount Pleasant Disc Golf Club at Deerfield Park June 28 & 29, 2014, and that we coordinate hosting the 2015 event with Club Dead at Meyer-Broadway June 27 & 28, 2015. Then, we invite member clubs to submit bids to host the event beginning with the 2016 Championships, which should be decided by July 1, 2014. Now that the 2014 event will be a two-day event, it would be logical for us to meet as a group the evening of Saturday, June 28th to make that, and other, decisions.
