I have been looking at these stats for 8 years now, multiple mathematical and psychological models and I have found the secrete. Now it may be too simple for some of you but it proves out every season..... - "Play Well Often". Ok some of you need more details I know - What does "Well" mean and how Often is Often?
Ok if your in the top 10 of the current 53 players across Oregon I will be airing out your dirty little stats for all to see, so they know how you did it so far and what they need to do to knock you out of the top ten spots on the DGLA OrCPS leaderboard.
What does it take to make it in the top ten league players of the OrCPS 2016? Lets look deeper.....
So at week 7 with Two rounds a week you can have 14 counted rounds adding to your point total at this date and time (OK we are at the beginning of week 8 when I pulled these stats (Wednesday) so currently the max is 15 rounds for the over achievers. Get a job - I mean your living my dream ;-)
If more than 2 rounds are played in a week (Sunday - Saturday) the lower score rounds are "Dropped" helping you Point to Round ratio but also giving those who can only play once to twice a week a fighting chance.
To give you an example of how this works. Let's take the Player in the top 10 who has the least number of total rounds played.
Lowest number of rounds played in the Top 10 is 6 Dallas Trower & john snyder with a Points per Counted Round average of over 20 points per round. They just don't have enough of these high scoring rounds to displace the top 5 currently but they could if hey were able to get more rounds in per week.
Our Highest Pts / Counted Round in the top ten is: Dallas Trowler 22.16667 pts per round with 6 rounds.
Now we have two players who got more than two rounds in during a given week and had the lowest score dropped: Justin "ugh massa" Stinson 9 rounds, 8 counted with a Pts per counted round at 17.25 but those two extra rounds at 17.25 average got him one notch up the leaderboard than Dallas.
Erik "Easy E" Etherton has played 14 rounds of which 12 counted and a Pt/Counted Round average of 20 and with 20 rounds that puts you in the top position - Nice play Erik.
So "Play Often" you increase your max point potential
"Play Well" you get more points per round.
"Play Well Often" and you maximize your standing on the leaderboard. - Proven once again.
Let's get to the raw dirty little stats:
I tried to format them a little differently this time to make it easier to read.

Now what else helps characterize & differentiate players?
Wins - How often did a player get Max points for the league they played.
Aces - Nice Shot! and Extra Points - Cha Ching! 25 points extra for hitting that Hole in One.

Play Well - Averag Win per player in the top ten is 1.3 with Erik leading the pack with 3. No surprise Winning the rounds helps but is not the only factor.
Aces - Well Aces are tough and the Average in the Top ten is 0.2, that is achieved by only two players hitting an Ace each. Justin and John - Nice Shots guys.
How about the other top 20 leaderboard positions?

20 Daneger Jones 90 6 15
I also like to look at who is potentially out there that could move up the leaderboard - the potential movers and shakers. So looking at Pt/round with 3 or more rounds Shaun Kirk currently in 19th place with only 4 rounds played has a point per round average of 23.5. Man just a few more rounds like that and the top of the leaderboard would be looking different.
19 Shaun Kirk 94 4 23.5
So I hope no complaints on the weather. Get out and enjoy as many of these great OR courses as possible - a great time to do that is by visiting the local league and get the local players insights and hopefully steal some of their points (In the friendliest of ways ;-)
Thanks to all the League Admin and players who help them out.
Peace and Enjoy the Rounds
