Details of the upcoming season

Ok so here's some details of what's in store, anyone can chime in at any point if I have made a mistake: -We will be playing Favorite Disc doubles, meaning that you don't have to choose one disc. If your partner likes his shot better than yours then he can throw from his disc and you can throw from your disc. Or you can throw from the same disc, it doesn't matter. -If someone hits an Ace they will get half of the Ace pot. You can decide before the round starts to split it ... more

Ok so here's some details of what's in store, anyone can chime in at any point if I have made a mistake:

-We will be playing Favorite Disc doubles, meaning that you don't have to choose one disc. If your partner likes his shot better than yours then he can throw from his disc and you can throw from your disc. Or you can throw from the same disc, it doesn't matter.
-If someone hits an Ace they will get half of the Ace pot. You can decide before the round starts to split it with your teammate, but again, that should be discussed before the round starts. If someone hits an Ace Me or Steve will assume it goes to the individual. (Pot is at $105)
-CTP will be semi-random. I'm going to designate like 5 different holes that are all reachable in one shot, (and interesting, not hole 1!), and then we will randomly draw each week. Again, this is an individual event.
-We will also have our own Fredrock Doubles league on discgolfscene to track local progress. This may morph into a mixed format league when Steve comes back. He showed interest in starting a singles Tuesday player meet.
-Here's the links to the 2 leagues [url]https://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Fredrock_Doubles_2013[/url] and [url]http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Freestate_Doubles_2013[/url]

Running a league through discgolfscene is new to me and Steve, so please bear with us and don't hesitate to suggest something!



If you're a dork like me and are curious as to how the point system works then continue reading, otherwise I recommend skipping this part!

Freestate Doubles is a state-wide point system for players in weekly doubles events. The point system works this way. Each player starts with 5 points per event. Additional points are added or subtracted based on strokes above or below the event average, rounded to the nearest .5. Five bonus points are awarded for first place and 25 bonus points for aces. For good measure, no player will be awarded less than one point per event.

You'll see more how the system works once we get a few rounds in. I will also be posting this on the other sites as well.

Freestate Doubles

So it's official, Fredrock will be joining the Freestate doubles league. It will be ran through Discgolfscene.com and I may even set up a local league to track our top players. Jerry recommended this to help decide in who should play in the end of the year tournament. We will be playing Heritage on Thursdays and rounds will usually start at 6pm, but it will start a little bit earlier the first few weeks until the sunset gets to be later. You don't have to play everyday to be abl ... more

You don't have to play everyday to be able to place in the top of the Freestate bracket but it certainly will help. You can also play in more then one event per week. Information about scoring will come soon. Post up if you have any questions!

Correction:

3 way tie for first...only because Professor & I left a couple of putts out there that day!

Doubles went great!

12 showed up for our inaugural doubles event at Heritage. There was a 2 way tie for first at -2. Can't remember who won but we decided it by playing ctp with hole 6 from the red tee.

Everyone had fun so we will continue to play doubles from the long tees, but it will still be singles from the short tees unless the golfers want it different.

Doubles at Heritage

This coming Thursday we are going to do a test run of doubles from the long tees. Draw will be random and there will be a fee of $3 to play which can be won back if you are first or second place. For more information goto md-discgolf.com and signup for the forums, our info is under the player meet section. We will be using the same rules, for the most part, that Seneca uses to run their doubles.
