Summer Aces: Worth 25 points

As a player in the MiCPS-S you represent the core Michigan Disc Golf players and you can really help make this sport better. Help pass along the Disc Golf etiquette that makes rounds fun and fair for all. Encourage new players and pass along some tips to help others improve. Bring a friend out and expose them to leagues. If you pack it in, pack it out - or at least make sure it ends up in a trash can. Keeping the courses clean is critical to keeping our courses.
We have naturally beautiful courses let's help keep them that way.

There are more leagues than ever so get out to some new courses or new leagues and see what is going on throughout the state. Don't overlook the smaller leagues - they tend to incorporate new ideas faster, have a really friendly group feel and you get introduce to the new courses with the locals who know them best. I also highly recommend making it out to one of the larger leagues as well to experience the energy of all those players coming together at one time, yet in a slightly more casual environment than a tournament. Bottom line, get out and play often!!!! & Enjoy.

Enjoy the Rounds!

*************************************

Thanks for supporting DGLA and helping to support the Disc Golf Courses in Michigan. www.discgolfleagueassociation.org A Michigan Non-Profit organization helping disc golf players, clubs and leagues.

This year clubs/leagues must Opt-In to the MiCPS. Meaning any player or league admin of a league who wants to get MiCPS-W points for their regular league rounds needs to ensure that they post on the MiCPS-W Comments page or send a message to one of the league admin. Please include the link to the league page, it is really helpful to reduce effort and mistakes - Thanks

Also this year leagues can join and decide if they want to have a Highlighted League of the Week (HLW) or not. Some feedback that not all clubs/league are set-up to accommodate extra players or non-regular players. We understand. Now to help reach our mission to encourage more play and to help spread the good ideas, the HLW was designed to provide extra visibility of what each league does so that the ideas can be looked at to see what if anything others can try to enhance the experience of their players. Players also get extra points - Double Points! as well as we try to acknowledge those players who try to attend the most HLW as possible and look at how that affects their points and performance. But we also promote different formats and types of leagues and so we try to accommodate adding more without adding addition work to the league admin or negatively impact them in any way.

In the past many players of the Winter Point Series have enjoyed a temperature incentive, Double Points for rounds played where the (Feels Like - with Wind chill) Temperature is below 15 degrees F. If your willing to challenge the Polar Vortex you deserve some reward.

Another suggestion recently was to add a Snow Incentive - If during your round you play in 2" or more, or 2" accumulates by the end of the round, Double Points.

Do you and your friends exchange stories about who played in the deepest snow or coldest temps? We hope we can help determine that for the state and provide some extra exposure for those who played and survived. When you post and you think it was extreme provide the average fairway snow depth and the actual coldest temp you encountered during the round (links to pictures would be AWESOME) and at the end of the season we will go back and update the schedule for the deepest snow and coldest temp during a winter League round and those two rounds for the state will get TRIPLE points and the bragging rights until next year. I survived winter 2014 - Bring on that Polar Vortex.... Lake effect welcomed. But I'm betting on the Yoopers for these records but it could happen any place in Michigan ....

If either Temp or Snow depth meet the criteria post in the comments section (league name, date & temp or snow depth) and by the end of the week we will update the schedule to show the Double Points - maybe Triple points for the luck few who survive the coldest & deepest wrath of the 2015 Polar Vortex..... Anyone who played in the round can make the post. The double points will be updated right before the weekly and monthly stats lock for the leaderboard. If someone posts late we will still update and the players will get the double points toward their overall point total but the weekly and monthly leaderboards lock 2 days after the week or month. Weeks run from Sunday to Saturday for weekly leaderboards and Best Two rounds of the week.

I'm excited that in Ohio and Oregon we have been able to add some local players to the State-wide Point Series Staff in those states. We welcome those who would like to be more involved from just helping to spread the word while playing rounds, to collecting ideas, questions and News that we can discuss and share with others to help grow disc golf and leagues, and even helping to post temp and snow double points or improving News posts directly - Maybe shorter posts ;-) We welcome all news and ideas to help Michigan Disc Golf clubs, events or players achievements, let us know your news or info - help spread the good word.

The first MiCPS Winter point series had 349 players in 15 leagues and last winter had 450 players in 32 leagues and last summer had 831 players in 42 leagues. We are starting our 2nd year in Ohio and Oregon as well. At DGLA we hope to grow as we help grow disc golf leagues and you are a big part of that mission and in achieving success and it all benefits all disc golf players. Thanks!

Thanks for supporting DGLA and helping to support the Disc Golf Clubs/Courses in Michigan. DGLA is a Non-Profit organization helping disc golf players, clubs and leagues.

The DGLA website is currently down as we prepare for the future - more soon. www.discgolfleagueassociation.org

Based on player's and league coordinator's ideas and comments and the continued devotion of the DGLA and DGS staff the rules for the DGLA Michigan Statewide Point Series are available here.
http://www.discgolfleagueassociation.org/Point_Series/Summary____Rules/summary____rules.html

Points calculation:
The Point Series point calculation tries to encourage players to play often yet and yet not penalize those who cannot play more than once or twice a week. We also try to encourage all league to participate by a three tier approached based on league size for the points accrual – League below 20 players get a boast, league greater than 60 have a points cap.

During a week (Sunday to Saturday) points are calculated for each participating league round you play. The highest TWO point total from any participating league are added into your total and the others are "dropped". Winter Aces are worth 25 points even if that league round is dropped. League round points are basically calculated by adding 2 points for participation and one point for every player you beat and if there is no tie for first place the winner(s) gets 2 additional points for being the "Out Right Winner". Now that basic calculation are further adjusted to encourage small leagues and balance out larger leagues using three levels; 4-19 players, 20-59, and 60+ players. The points awarded are different for each group. The smaller league rounds will get a guaranteed max point total the same as 20 players, the middle size league round are calculated as described above and the larger league rounds have a cap with max points being set to 60 players - Details can be reviewed at www.discgolfleagueassociation.org

Scores must be entered the same as leagues determine payouts; If Divisions are used for payouts than scores must be entered by division. If handicaps are used for payouts then the handicap adjusted scores must be entered. (Disc Golf Scene is looking at offering a automated Handicap system which will bring more leagues into the point series and eventually maybe have point series for the different types of league formats - more when info is available - Thanks! Pete and Disc Golf Scene for all you do for all the disc golf players around the World!!!!!).

Cali - If there is one Cali in a double league they are counted as two players but if there is more than one Cali than they are only counted as one when calculating point totals. This ensures leagues can have special Cali rounds with multiple players playing Cali, but the point totals are accurate based on the number of actual players that played the round.

As always leagues can use their own points system or no point when entering league rounds, as the MiCPS points are calculated independently, allowing league more flexibility to continue with their legacy systems or try new point systems.

MiCPS automatically keeps your best TWO rounds per week (Sunday - Saturday) when calculating your MiCPS total points. This is automatically recalculated whenever new scores/rounds are posted or scores are updated. Get out and play as much as you can to increase your skill and maximize your points but if you are limited to how often you can play your goal would be to try and get at least two rounds per week.

Winter Aces: Worth 25 points – League Admin – this is automatically calculated so if you want to use a different point system for your individual league Aces you can.

DGLA will also be awarding some MDGO, Discraft Michigan State Championships berths for the MiCPS-Winter season. More ways to secure your berth and compete in another great Michigan state-wide disc golf event.

Disc Golf Scene has added weekly & monthly awards to your profile based on MiCPS rounds. That’s more Disc Golf Scene Bling for your profile.

********************************

There are more leagues than ever so get out to some new courses or new leagues and see what is going on throughout the state. Don't overlook the smaller leagues - they tend to incorporate new ideas faster, have a really friendly group feel and you get introduce to the new courses with the locals who know them best. I also highly recommend making it out to one of the larger leagues as well to experience the energy of all those players coming together at one time, yet in a slightly more casual environment than a tournament.

Before we get to the player achievements I'd like to say THANKS to the league admin and club staff. You make this all happen. Thanks for all your efforts and helping to ensure more players can come together and play this great sport in your area. Also a Big Thanks to the Disc Golf Scene which really brings us all together and provides a great on-line community for us all to stay in touch, track our rounds, share ideas and exchange comments along with images and videos.

OK the Leaderboards are locked as of a week after the the last round and so the leaderboards are now official and we can crown our season champion and take a look at the top players and what it took to get to the top of the Leaderboard for this season.

Just a quick look back at our Winter Season with 32 leagues and 450 players our top ten were:

Now for the FIFTH Summer MiCPS season we have Geoff Bennett at the top and he is our Michigan State Disc Golf League Summer Champion - Congratulations Geoff

We have also posted our award amounts for the 30 DGLA Player members carving up $ 405.00 in awards and awarded our Michigan State Championships berths. I'm excited that almost all 30 DGLA Player members have received berths and will be up in Ludington this year competing some more. The DGLA player members also adding $150 to the Michigan Disc Golf Course Improvement fund this year.

OK let's now take a look at some of the stats for those who managed to distinguish themselves by climb the leaderboard through this 16 week season.

Here is a summary of the Average stats to make it in the top Ten on Michigan League players:

44.7 # of Rounds
21.9 Average Points per Rounds
28.5 # of Rounds Counted
32.4 Average Points per Counted rounds
7.2 Wins
1.2 Aces
3.0 HLW
919.2 Average Points to be in the Top Ten of the Leaderboard


So if you played on average 2.8 rounds a week, you would have on average 1.8 rounds/week during the 16 weeks, and played at least 3.0 HLWs and won 7.2 of your 28.5 rounds, each averaging 32.4 points per round you should end up with around 920 points and you would be among the top ten in the state.

If you Points per Round average is not that high then add another HLW, hit a few Aces, get in a few more rounds to replace any lower scores that week and you are headed to the Top of the leaderboard.....

Lets see how our Top ten players fared in these categories.

Total # of rounds played.

No doubt the more rounds you play the great the point accumulation is as well as you learn to play in more conditions, read courses, learn from more players and gain more experience hopefully.

samuel smith - with 68 rounds - awesome!

Also included is the Average Points per Total Rounds. Now we only count the highest two rounds per week so this average is not the best to be used to compare players. But the higher the number of rounds indicates the players potential to collect more points and enables them to drop that occasional lower scoring round.

Leaderboard Position Player Points (Total Rounds) (Avg. Pts / Total Rd.)
3 samuel smith 1,060 68 15.59
1 Geoff Bennett 1301 55 23.65
4 Jay B INSANITY DGC 893 54 16.54
2 Taggart Anderson 1,124 53 21.21
7 Scottie Reslock 806 50 16.12
8 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 799 48 16.65
9 ken parks 794 34 23.35
5 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 857 30 28.57
10 Smitty the angry lefty 751 29 25.90
6 derek "d.roc " evans 807 26 31.04

So you can also look at the Average Points per Counted round, but realize one players may only have 1 dropped round and another may have 35 dropped rounds given them a better chance at a higher Points per Round and total points.

Geoff Bennett took the top spot - note based on the way the schedule worked out the max number of Rounds was 33, not 32.

LB Pos. Player Points Counted Rounds Avg. Pts / Counted Rd.
1 Geoff Bennett 1301 33 39.42
3 samuel smith 1060 33 32.12
2 Taggart Anderson 1124 32 35.13
4 Jay B INSANITY DGC 893 31 28.81
8 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 799 31 25.77
7 Scottie Reslock 806 30 26.87
5 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 857 26 32.96
6 derek "d.roc " evans 807 25 32.28
9 ken parks 794 22 36.09
10 Smitty the angry lefty 751 22 34.14

Note the top positions had the most rounds played on average and so they maximized their points per round:

Player Points Total Rounds Counted Rounds Dropped
Geoff Bennett 1,301 55 33 22
Taggart Anderson 1,124 53 32 21
samuel smith 1,060 68 33 35
Jay B INSANITY DGC 893 54 31 23

The bigger difference were in areas of Wins, Aces and HLWs attended.

Highlighted League of the Week - DOUBLE POINTS!!

Besides helping to spread the word about the many different leagues at different courses you can double up on points. This can really give a nice boost to your point total but most players will get at least one HLW so to really take advantage of the HLW, use them as a great reason to travel to other leagues and courses and really maximize you point total.

Way to get out there Scottie Reslock with 6 HLW rounds.

By total # of HLW (Double Points)
Position Player Points HLW
7 Scottie Reslock 806 6
3 samuel smith 1,060 5
2 Taggart Anderson 1,124 3

6 derek "d.roc " evans 807 2
10 Smitty the angry lefty 751 2
9 ken parks 794 1

By Aces

Who doesn't like to hit a League Ace, normally you collect some extra cash and get a great reason to express your excitement so everyone else on the course knows and you get 25 extra points.

The most Aces was 4 Aces by samuel smith

7 Scottie Reslock 806 1
8 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 799 1

By Wins

You are a winner! Yes everyone wants to win and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you consistently win you will be at least near the top of the leaderboard. We had several players with several Wins but Geoff Bennett with 18 total wins in 55 rounds had the most among the top ten. Scottie Reslock had an amazing 15 as well.

OK so Congratulations to the Top Twenty By Points - Great consistent play all season. Many of these players were also in our Winter top ten denoted by the "***" - Year round great players. Great year guys. I expect to be analyzing your stats again this winter. Who will join them on the 2015 DGLA MiCPS and be crowned Michigan Disc Golf League Champion?......

So the leaderboards are locked and so it is no surprise who is at the top but I have have posted the top ten below followed by the Berth awards, then the DGLA leaderboard challenges and then I will follow-up this message with more analysis of the stats and details for those who like to see how they managed to get to the top of the leaderboards. Do you always have to Win the leagues? How often do you have to play? Big or Small leagues, Aces & HLW have what affect?

OK lets hit the big one first.

Who is our 2014 Summer DGLA Michigan Disc Golf League Champion?

Well the leaderboard has many great players scattered throughout and many more up and coming players. Not everyone has the opportunity to make it out week after week. But even with different size leagues and different formats the DGLA Michigan Cooperative Point Series has been a great indicator of who are the great and highly active Michigan Disc Golf League players.

I was happy to see that in the top 10 of the overall leaderbaord 6 are DGLA Player level players - Thanks for supporting DGLA, not only by paying in $30 to help fund the prizes and berths but through your ambassadorship on & off the course. I know this because I have had the honor and pleasure of playing rounds with all these players.

So during our 16 week summer season, with 55 league rounds, in which 33 counted ( 23 were dropped, only keep best 2 in a given week), 2 were Highlighted Leagues of the Week (Double Points), 18 Wins and 1 Ace, our Champion accumulated one thousand three hundred and one points. Amazing!

Congratulations to Geoff Bennett our 2014 DGLA Michigan Disc Golf Summer League Champion.

Congrats to all the players who made it out to enjoy even one Michigan Disc Golf league round and much kudos to those who fought their way up the 831 player leaderboard.

Berth Winners are??????

The Discraft Michigan State Championships
Sat-Sun, August 30-31, 2014 at Mason County Park in Ludington, Michigan
B-tier · PDGA sanctioned singles tournament
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/The_Discraft_Michigan_State_Championships_2014

So the first two berths went during the Winter season.
1st place was Jay B INSANITY DGC who secured his berth. 2nd place was Justin Dean but he was not a DGLA Player member so the 2nd berth is awarded to Scott Sprow in 3rd place out of 450 players from 32 leagues.
Again congrats to Jay B INSANITY DGC & Scott Sprow on your State Championship berths and a great winter season.

Now we have to thank the Local 101 club who helped DGLA out by donating their 6 berths to enable us to award more berths this year. So for Summer we have not only 4 berths but 10 and we always try to ensure that we have one for the top woman on the leaderboard.

We try and verify that each recipient will be going to Ludington if awarded a berth and that they have not already won a berth from another event. This year we got all the way down to the 16th place but I know that at least 20 of the 29 DGLA Player members received a Berth to the 2014 Discraft Michigan State Championships. That is awesome - See you in Ludington...

And congrats to our Woman representative

Now if you don't have your berth yet there is still one last chance to get into the biggest Michigan Disc Golf event of the year.....

Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ)
Friday, August 29, 2014 at Mason County Park in Ludington, Michigan
Disc golf singles tournament
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Last_Chance_Qualifier_LCQ_2014

We'd also like to say thanks to the MDGO, Michigan Disc Golf Organization and all the club/volunteers who work throughout the year to plan, fund raise, organize, TD.... They make it happen, they make it the best run tournament and they make the weekend the most amazing disc golf event in Michigan - Thanks MDGO and all the volenteers.

Also Thanks to Discraft who sponsor the event and add to our Disc Golf experience in so many ways.

DGLA MiCPS-S: HLW - Berths Discraft Mi State Campionships

Got a State Berth?

Yes the 2014 MiCPS season is over but leagues/clubs have one week, until Aug 2nd, to post old rounds and make any corrections, link players etc. before the leaderboard locks for good.

I'm in the process of going down the DGLA Player leaderboard to verify who has already won state berths as many players at the top of the leaderboard already have berths and so others have a chance at a berth. Hopefully I get replies to all the messages so I can post on Sunday and su ... more

I'm in the process of going down the DGLA Player leaderboard to verify who has already won state berths as many players at the top of the leaderboard already have berths and so others have a chance at a berth. Hopefully I get replies to all the messages so I can post on Sunday and submit the berth winner names to the MDGO so the berth winners can register before Aug 22th when any unclaimed berths get recycled to the last Chance Qualifier tournament on the Friday before States.

Important information concerning Berths and the Discraft Michigan State Championships
Sat-Sun, August 30-31, 2014 at Mason County Park in Ludington, Michigan
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/The_Discraft_Michigan_State_Championships_2014

Leagues and Clubs - Please send your berth winner info to the MDGO who organize this great event each year so your winners can claim register before Aug 22th. You can submit the berth winner information here: http://test.mdgo.org/wp/birth-winners/ via the web form on thier new and improved MDGO.Org website.

Once your berth information is submitted then the winner can register for the event. Don't wait many divisions fill up and you run the risk of your berth being run through the shredder to be recycled after the 22nd.

If you did not secure your berth this season you can still be a part of the biggest event of the year in Michigan. The last chance qualifier is your golden ticket and for several divisions that are under represented such as women, youth and the Life Experienced aka the old guys ;-) there is a much greater chance to be a part of the fun with friends from all over the state:
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Last_Chance_Qualifier_LCQ_2014

So reminder to leagues to ensure your rounds are posted and your berths a reported to MDGO from tournaments/leagues so the winners can register and guarantee their spot.

Berth winners - make sure you register before Aug 22nd. If you do not see your berth listed on the tournament page you can send MDGO a message from the same page and they will see if they can help confirm your berth award.

For everyone else kick butt at the last chance qualifier or come out and enjoy the event as a spectator and party afterwards with all your new and old friends on top of Mount Discraft.

So official DGLA 2014 MiCPS standings and berths will be made on Sunday Aug 3rd. Thanks for a great summer season.

I hope to see everyone up in Ludington - Enjoy the Rounds - Peace

Speaking of New and Exciting - How fast can you throw a disc?

Get the answer during the pre-round CTP. If all works out Carey Holleran will be bringing a speed gun and we will have a net. Fastest throws will win the pre-round CTP and bragging rights will be yours.

You may also find some FREE food before the round as well so if your hungry get there early while the food lasts.... If it's hot we will have Ypsi Dubs Icy Pops as well ;-)

Who are the July Disc Golf Gypsies, travelling our great state to play multiple leagues?

12 players have 3 leagues so far, 3 more have attended 4 leagues and Scottie Reslock is in solo command of the top spot after attending 5 different leagues so far in July. Scottie - We must have more Power - The rest of us must have more power to keep up with you. Keep it at warp speed Scottie, enjoy those rounds.

Now it's greta to be able to play that many rounds and different leagues but can they make it pay off for them. Well Scotties has with two of those rounds for 1st place. Nicely done Scottie as well 5 other players with 2 wins each so far in July. But Jeremy Kemp is leading this leaderboard with 3 Wins to his name in July. Great Play Jeremy. You may be plundering the Treasure Chest again this month as well...

I have not begun to tabulate the HLW but I should have an update soon. You know if you have been getting out to the HLW and your point total will as well with those Double points rounds. There are still several HLW left in the week and a half. Hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy the HLWs.

Now some of you may have notice a recent shift in the standings. It came to our attention that we had a handicapped league that was posting raw scores instead of the adjusted handicapped scores, which payouts are based on. This rule is there to keep the different types of leagues fair in a cooperative points series. I'm sorry this was not caught earlier and the league could still correct how rounds are posted and be added back but for now the league has been dropped and the leaderboard was updated. We are glad this league is available to all the players and we love to have handicapped leagues as part of the MiCPS and we do know it is extra effort to enter the adjusted scores. Again sorry to all the players for this late adjustment.

So with less than 2 weeks left this is how the overall leaderboard is looking:

442 points between 10th and 1st. That would take quite a few HLW wins to over come but throw in an Ace per round and it is very do-able ;-)
Our Winter MiCPS Champion is at 4th place, Jay B INSANITY DGC with 755 points, about 100 points ahead of him is samuel smith in 3rd with an extra 10 rounds, 57 and 842 pts. Taggart Anderson with 46 rounds is 81 points out of 1st and has held this #2 spot for many a week now. That said our current leader has been our overall leaderboard leader for a long while as well with 44 rounds so far and a massing one thousand, fifty five points so far - Geoff Bennett is still our leader. Can anyone catch him with just a week and a half. I know what Geoff would say...... But I will wait and see ;-)

DGLA MiCPS-S: HLW & Leaderboards 7/01/2014

June is behind us now, got to make the most of the remaining summer rounds. 18 HLW left in the remaining 4 weeks of the MiCPS-Summer 2014.

I hope you get a chance to maximize the fun in July, HLW are popping up like fireworks this month. Make sure you get some Double Points.

June is behind us now, got to make the most of the remaining summer rounds. 18 HLW left in the remaining 4 weeks of the MiCPS-Summer 2014.

I hope you get a chance to maximize the fun in July, HLW are popping up like fireworks this month. Make sure you get some Double Points.

So with June past and the stats stored away in the Disc Golf Scene data vault we can determine the winners of the June Leaderboard Challenge. Thanks to several DGLA Player level members who are philanthropists supporting the DGLA mission and donating their winnings last year back to DGLA we made everyone eligible to win the Leaderboard challenge not just DGLA Player level. But Thanks to the 29 Player level member this year who for $30 got a DGLA MiCPS 2014 Members commemorative disc, DGLA Glow Mini, eligible for some Michigan State Championship berths we received from the MDGO for the fun in Ludington this Sept and all will get some award since we have less than 40 players.

So for each of the three leaderboards, Rounds, Leagues & Wins and the Most HLW in June we will award the winner a chance to plunder the DGLA treasure Chest. Currently I've added some Discs (weights to be added in the description) and I should be throwing in some Hats, Towels, and Shirts along with a few more discs. Now for the winners it's first come first serve (first message in my Inbox on DGS) and then I will remove the item and get you your swag.

DGLA MiCPS 2014 Treasure Chest: http://www.discgolfscene.com/profile/1064/pictures/album_12567

Now if there are any ties I will look at the number of HLW played to break the tie. In June no ties - so no digital throw-off required.

Ok for the Most Rounds in June 1-28th - Many packed in the rounds but Taggart Anderson managed to get 12 rounds in only to be out done by three others. Sheldon Bowen and Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common managed to get one more for 13 rounds and crazy man Wade Calvert edged them all out with an amazing 14 rounds in June and the opportunity to plunder the DGLA MiCPS Treasure Chest. Nicely done Wade!

No we are extremely luck that we have so many great leagues in our great state. We hope the HLW add to the motivation to get out and check out different courses and leagues and get some Double Points - BOOM! it's no surprise with 14 rounds that Wade Calvert is at the Top of this leaderboard and of those 14 rounds he played them at 6 different leagues. sheldon bowen may have "only" had 13 rounds but he managed to play them at 6 leagues as well, along with Matthew Rice, Timmy Redman and Jake Pardo, all getting in 6 leagues for June 1st - 28th. But Sam Hardesty edged them out by one:

Night Moose Nights 2014
Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League - The Original - Tuesdays
Saturday Vienna Dubs
Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League -={Church}=- Suuuuundays
Night Moose Spring/Summer 2014
12:00 Saturday Dubs Spring/Summer 2014
2014 Cass Benton Monday Night Doubles

And two of those were HLW - Bonus!!!! Double Points!!!!

Yes Sam Hardesty you get to plunder the DGLA MiCPS Treasure Chest as well.

Wins - Congrats to Walt Smith, Scottie Reslock, Dustin St. Aubin & Ryan Anderson for all their wins, 4 each in June but Jeremy Kemp has been a dominating force at 2014 Chain-Out Singles League & 2014 CDGA Summer League to secure 6 Wins in June. Nicely Done Jeremy.

Let me know what you'd like out of the DGLA MiCPS Treasure Chest.

Now for the MOST HLW in June. First I have to do these stats by hand and I notice many players go by different versions of their names at different league or by nicknames so I try to consolidate these the best I can. Getting to all these courses and seeing how different leagues do things so the good ideas can spread is why we created the Highlighted Leagues of the Week (HLW) and that is reward in itself but we wanted to add a bit more bling to the MiCPS, a little more Swag for your Bag can't hurt. I try to plan each year to get to a few new leagues and I use the HLW dates as my motivation. I had planned on 8 to 9 out of the 22 HLW myself in June but work and family seem to make the challenge that much more challenging. There is always July.... So what are the June HLW stats:

Total HLW scheduled: 22
Total Played: 21

Total number of Players who played a HLW in June: 456

Size of HLW:
Min 6
Average 23.66666667

What I Win ;-) Ok I'm actually dissapointed with all those rounds played by so many and that I was so far off my plan but my daughter was eyeing one of the pink DGLA MiCPS putters for her bag and now she get's it and we have even more reason to go out and play some disc golf together real soon - Chaa-Ching!

Welcome Back! This year's format will be quite similar. 18 weeks of golf with tee times at 10am and 6pm on Tuesdays! Remember you have to decide which round score you are going to take before you play for that week. We will have CTP's and the 50/50 Ace Pool. 12 Weeks to qualify for prizes however the more you can play beyond 12 weeks means you will shave those rough rounds!. We welcome all skill levels. Great for Seasoned Pros and Beginners alike. Custom Dri-Fit T's for player packs! More details to come as we near the beginning of the summer. We will be offering sanctioned leagues for those of you with active PDGA numbers $3 to join this portion and it covers the entire stretch. This can really help boost your rating and give you a better idea of where you should be playing for tournaments.

DGLA MiCPS-S: HLWs Stats 6/13/2014

So with bragging rights and a chance to plunder the DGLA Treasure Chest for the Most Highlighted Leagues of the Week (HLW) for June and July, some may be wondering what are the HLW stats and how many HLW rounds do I have to play to top this chart and win some more booty.

Through the 13th of June (about half way through the month)

9 HLW posted so far
2 not yet posted
11 HLW remaining to be played in June

167 players have played in 1 or more HLW

So how many HLW rounds will it take to be on top? Out of the first 9 rounds the max is 2. There are 2 already played but not yet posted - to be expected since they were just the last few days. And there are 11 yet to be played.

So depends on how easy it is for players to get to the remaining HLW and if their schedules fit, weather is a factor, work, vacations, and then there are those Disc Golf Gypsies who play 4-6 rounds a week. OK your guess is as good as mine for now. For July we will have better data, so for now the best strategy is to try and get in as many HLW rounds as you can, while you can - you never know what may happen tomorrow ;-)

Enjoy the Rounds - Peace

This year I am going to try to be a little more lenient on tee time. I want to of course tee off at 6, but I will stretch it to 6:15 LATEST with call ahead. So if 1 person calls and says they will be there by 6:15 we will wait. No call...we tee at 6! Format is best shot doubles with two cash pots. 50/50 ctp, and of course MYSTERY!! If you do not know what mystery is, just feel free to ask me or one of the regulars and they will be happy to explain. See you Thursday!!

Sorry I just had to venture out beyond league for these tournaments for a minute to recognize some great players and Volunteers who make it all possible.

--------------
So with so many leagues going on throughout the State and now in June and July the HLWs there is more reason to fill your summer full of great Michigan Disc Golf leagues. sheldon bowen has been doing just that getting in 7 rounds so far in June, topping the Rounds leaderboard so far. Close behind with 6 rounds each are Scottie Reslock, Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common & Jake Pardo. Now Sheldon got his 7 rounds playing at 6 different leagues, which also puts him at the top of the Leagues leaderboard.

Still 9 others are close with 4 leagues each so far:
2 Scottie Reslock 4
2 Jake Pardo 4
2 Sam Hardesty 4
2 samuel smith 4
2 Tony Mapes 4
2 Wade Calvert 4
2 Gabe Cadorin 4
2 Daryl "D_rail" Ballios 4
2 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 4

But currently Sheldon Bowen is looking like he will be plundering our DGLA Treasure chest at the end of June if he keeps this up. Yes the top spots on the League, Win and Rounds leaderboards will get to choose some booty from the DGLA treasure chest - Also the player who attended the most HLW in the month of June. The same is true for July so get out and enjoy those rounds and reap the rewards. If there are a tie, such as currently with the Wins leaderboard with ten players with 2 wins in June so far - we will look at the HLWs to break the tie as Digital throw-offs just aren't as the same as being on the course.

All Leaderboards » June Wins
Player Wins

1 Brian Carroll 2

1 Curt McGill 2
1 Ryan Anderson 2
1 Robert Duck 2
1 Dustin St. Aubin 2
1 Scottie Reslock 2
1 John Wisswell 2
1 Walt Smith 2

Now points are the the name of the game in a point series and the title of Michigan 2014 Summer Disc Golf League Champion or awards for the DGLA Player level members help to commemorate their points achievements.

Currently Jerry "Chilly" Chilson has amassed the most points in June so far with 175 points, with one Ace on Hole 12 at Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League -={Church}=- Suuuuundays for 25 points but he got 76 points instead of 38 since it was a HLW round - Double Points!!! I guess those HLW do pay off ;-)

Actually every player in the top ten spots has attended at least one HLW, except one Geoff Bennett - who decided to do it Old School but I suspect he will get a few HLWs before it is all over.

1 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 175

6 Steve DeWitt 141
7 Geoff Bennett 130
7 Scottie Reslock 130
9 Mark Rosecrans 120
9 Nathan Mullins 120

So with all these league rounds and HLW Double Points how is the Overall leaderboard looking?

Well no surprise those who are on the monthly leaderboards for most rounds, league, wins are also at the top of the overall leaderboard. The gap between 1st and 10th is widening to 302 points, that is about three big HLW league wins, and with 6 weeks left in the season with many HLWs (Double points) anything can happen.

If you ever needed a little extra reason to travel and play a new course or a new league or go back to a league you have not played in awhile - check the HLW schedule - Double your fun & Double your points.

Also we have 792 players so far playing league rounds in the MiCPS. We have already beat our record but we could - like this last Winter - Smash the records. Grab a friend and bring them to Leagues. They just need a little nudge and you know they will love it, learn more about the sport and you will have more fun as well.

Enjoy the Rounds - Peace

DGLA MiCPS-S: HLWs, Stats & News..... 5/27/2014

We hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend and plenty of Disc Golf Rounds.

OK I just took at look at the 2014 summary and compared it to 2013 whole season:

Summer 2013

Point Series league - 617 total players
No fee to play in this league
34 participating leagues

Summer 2014 So Far

Point Series league - 726 total players
No fee to play in this league
43 participating leagues

Yeah you can say Disc Golf leagues and the DGLA MiCPS we are growing. I look forward to the final stats but more leagues, more players and more fun already this year over last. Yeah Baby!.....
Talking about more fun - Next week is June already and that mean the two months of Highlighted Leagues of the Week begin with Double points. Cha Ching!

For the MiCPS several of us need those double points to catch the leaders.

NOTE** We have a few Singles handicapped leagues in the MiCPS. To be part of the MiCPS the handicapped leagues must post rounds with the adjusted scores that payouts are based on. There are methods of posting the round strokes and the adjusted score. We know that these leagues need a few weeks to determine the handicaps. In June we will review these leagues to see if they are posting adjusted scores and if not we will have to remove them. We hope to have another option for handicapped leagues soon but for now our rules indicate that adjusted scores must be posted to make this as fair as possible with mixed type leagues in one point series.

Currently 262 points separate 10th place from 1st place and even 3rd to 1st has a 99 point gap - Well that gap could be erased with a large league double point win or it could be extended - How will the season wind-up? Anything can happen - play hard, have fun and stay tuned.

Several players are getting their rounds in this month with Jake Pardo and samuel Samsquanch smith battling it out for the most rounds at 16 currently:

Rounds
1 Jake Pardo 16
1 samuel Samsquanch smith 16
3 Anslie Newman 15
4 Jay B INSANITY DGC 14
4 Wade Calvert 14
6 Taggart Anderson 13
6 Scottie Reslock 13
8 sheldon bowen 12
8 ken "sega salt" moote 12
8 Jeff Hepler 12
8 Geoff Bennett 12

Some of those same players are travling Disc Golf Gypsies such as Geoff Bennett & Wade Calvert making it to 8 different leagues so far this month.

Leagues
1 Geoff Bennett 8
1 Wade Calvert 8
3 Taggart Anderson 7
3 Jake Pardo 7
3 samuel Samsquanch smith 7
3 Tim Gacioch 7
3 Anslie Newman 7
8 ken "sega salt" moote 6
8 Jay B INSANITY DGC 6
8 Jeff Hepler 6

It great when you make the most out of a round and Anslie Newman took half of his 15 rounds for max points with 7 Wins so far this month.

Wins
1 Anslie Newman 5
2 Dustin St. Aubin 4
3 Chris Smith 3
3 Dan Jenkins 3
3 Robert Crosby 3
3 Geoff Bennett 3
3 Tim Gacioch 3
3 Jeff Lozowsky 3
3 Nathan Eurick 3
3 Bill Hall 3
3 Ben Calhoun 3
3 Jake Pardo 3
3 Jamie Mosier 3
3 A Rambo 3

Now you don't have to win each round to earn the most points. Example take 12 rounds, with 3 win, 2 2nds, 2 3rds and a 4th place finish in rounds that counted and you get to count 290 points and probably some nice cash - Nicely done so far in May - Geoff Bennett our current overall leader.

Points
1 Geoff Bennett 290
2 Marc Tokie WPD 223
3 Taggart Anderson 218
4 samuel Samsquanch smith 217

DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Summer 2014

The summer temps are starting to heat up and points piling up too and they are about to start to Double Up....

Highlighted League of the Week (HLW)

This is where we highlight a league to ensure player throughout the state know what other leagues are doing as well as encourage players to travel and check out new courses and how league are run at different locations - That alone is worth a little drive time but Double Points! makes it that much more interesting.

Some clubs will have extra fun scheduled and you will want to check the specific league pages before travelling in case there are last minute changes.

Reminder to post and see about sharing a ride and sharing the experience.

On the MiCPS Schedule dates with "Double Points!" and highlighted in green indicate HLW.

If leagues/clubs have special information they would like mentioned in the post please send them at least a week in advance. I will try to send out a summary of the next weeks HLW each week in June and July.

We typically have a large turnout for the HLW. You can expect a Pre-round CTP and maybe some other pre-round games. There will be a CTP on almost every hole. We will probably have some food afterwards so you can eat before heading to one of the other great leagues in the area with afternoon rounds.

Don't forget to check out the progress on the new course layout. You can play two holes already from the back side of Hole 1 - just targets at the moment but worth a look for some fun warm-up holes.

You must be registered by roll call to play for payouts.

Part of the DGLA - Michigan Cooperative Point Series Summer 2014

Clarification of Rules - This is a fun league - we try and help everyone learn Disc Golf etiquette and help players understand tournament play and rules but at this league we deviate a bit from some of the PDGA rules. Here are a couple:

1) You can flip your disc if you do not have a marker disc.
2) If the disc sticks in the side of the basket and you remove it before it drops it counts, as well as going through the basket and coming to rest in the basket.
3) Best Disc - Partners do not need to throw from the same disc. As long as both discs are in play it is up to the player to select which ever disc they view is the "best disc".

Be courteous of other players while they are shooting and others on other holes. Help others learn the rules and how to be better players and have fun while you compete and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. Pick up trash that others leave behind and do not leave trash on the course.

Enjoy the Summer League Rounds!!!

DGLA MiCPS-S: A crawling itchy feeling - TICKS..... 5/05/2014

State health officials say ticks, particularly black-legged ticks that carry Lyme disease, are no laughing matter."

State health officials say ticks, particularly black-legged ticks that carry Lyme disease, are no laughing matter."

http://www.mlive.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2012/05/michigans_tick_problem_is_grow.html

I am hearing more and more about players finding ticks this season and I normally play in south east Michigan, which is not an area normal identified as at risk for Lyme disease but if you read more you will find that the Blacklegged ticks have been heading north from Indiana over the years. Currently the West side of Michigan and UP have the highest risk but those pesky bugs are headed east as well.

Some quick notes included:
Do all tick carry Lyme disease?
How do ticks get on us? Drop from trees? Jump off disc golf baskets?
What type of habitat do ticks prefer?
How to protect yourself & your pets?
How to deal with ticks if you find one attached?

I copied a bunch of key info in here but the links are also included if you'd like to read more. Note - check the dates on maps as many are old 2011 or so.

Not all ticks carry Lyme Disease but all ticks are a pain - and itchy and the info on how to deal with them if one gets a hold of you is still the same.

Have fun playing in the woods but Play Smart and be Safe.

The biggest issue in our area related to ticks is with Lime disease and this is associated with the Blacklegged tick.

Picture of the Blacklegged Tick
http://media.mlive.com/outdoors_impact/photo/11000178-large.jpg

Michigan Lyme Disease Risk Map
https://www.michigan.gov/emergingdiseases/0,1607,7-186-25890_26143-95445--,00.html

Some key excerpts:

"This study has involved looking for the presence of the blacklegged tick, testing those ticks for infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial cause of Lyme disease, and looking for evidence of infection in rodents and dogs in the area. "

"Information being obtained from this ongoing study indicates an emerging presence of blacklegged ticks in all counties along the western border of Michigan. Many hundreds of these ticks have been tested for the Lyme disease bacteria, and up to 45 percent of the ticks have tested positive for Lyme disease."

"Erik Foster, a medical epidemiologist with the Michigan Department of Community Health said 106 cases of Lyme disease were confirmed in Michigan in 2011. Not all of those cases originated in Michigan.

Twenty-six of those people were bitten and exposed to the disease in West Michigan, according to state records. Another 39 were exposed in the western Upper Peninsula, primarily in Menominee County, but "Gogebic and Baraga counties have cases, too," Foster said. "Most of those were along the Wisconsin border."

One got the disease in another part of Michigan. Forty others got it while travelling out of state. A couple of those originated in Europe.

"We were out two weeks ago, and there were plenty of adult ticks out in Benzie and Leelanau counties," he said."

Not only do we have to be aware of the conditions at our travel destination but we also have to be careful that we don't help the migration of pests like Ticks, the rodents and deer already do a good job of this but our pets and our stuff can move them larger distances faster.

"It takes 24 to 48 hours for Lyme disease to be transmitted from a tick to a person," Foster said.

Also recommended is removing ticks with a tweezers, grabbing it as close to the skin as possible and pulling it straight out slowly, making sure its mouth parts are removed. Then it is time to cleanse the skin and apply an antiseptic.

Foster dispelled the notion that ticks drop out of trees.

"They’re generally found on low-lying vegetation. How high they go depends on their life stage. Larvae and nymphs want mice and chipmunks. Adults are higher up to get whitetail deer. They do not drop out of trees," he said."

"it is important to remind people to use personal protective measures when recreating in wooded areas, such as:

Light colored clothing
Long pants tucked into socks and long sleeved shirt
Insect repellants that contain DEET (5% or lower concentration for children, and 30% or lower for adults)
Permethrin repellants can be used on clothing NOT on bare skin
Perform regular tick checks
"

"Fabrics treated with repellents such as permethrin work well. One well-known, brand name is "Buzz-off.""

"While we were up north testing them, I would stop every 20 meters and pick them (ticks) off, but a co-worker was wearing the pre-treated clothing and not getting a tick on her clothes. The stuff really works," Foster said.

Ticks like moist, humid environments in or near woody or grassy areas. The CDC suggests wearing long sleeves, long pants and socks and treating clothing and boots with DEET repellents or permethrin.

Proper Tick Removal
http://www.mlda.org/Prevention/ProperTickRemoval.aspx
Ticks should be removed promptly. The longer a tick is attached the higher the risk of disease transmission. Ticks can attach to any part of the body but prefer areas such as the armpits, ears, groin, neck and scalp. Tick checks should be preformed routinely after being outdoors.

These guidelines should be followed during tick removal:

Proper Tick Removal
1. Use fine-tipped tweezers to firmly but gently grasp the tick's mouthparts as close to the skin as possible. Try to protect bare hands with a tissue or gloves to avoid contact with tick fluids.

2. Gently pull the tick straight out, being careful not to twist or jerk the tick, as this may cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin. You may have to tug gently several times.

3. Proper Tick Removal3. Immediately after removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite area and wash your hands with soap and water.

4. Place the tick in a small baggie or pill bottle along with a damp piece of cotton or paper towel to keep the tick alive. "

Again - Have fun playing in the woods but Play smart and be safe. Peace

At least of these player already have berths so they are not eligible for berths and I suspect a few more will win berths at other events during the summer as ours will not be awarded until early Aug. Lets see how the Players leaderboard shapes up.

For Summer 2013 we had

34 participating leagues
With 617 total players playing rounds through the season.

For summer 2014

40 participating leagues

And in the first month we have had 479 total players playing rounds.

Which is great but I'm looking forward to cresting 600 players.

Image if we had 334in the DGLA Player we would be playing for over $5000. Well the good news to those playing you will get something back since we payout the top 40 players or 40% of the players, which ever is larger.

Next I will be adding HLW dates to all the leagues for dates in June and July - Double Points!

We will also be awarding swag based on the leaderboards during May, June & July - More on that soon and watch for the DGLA MiCPS Treasure Chest for the winners to pick their swag from:


Here is the list of DGLA players - Thanks to all for supporting and let the games begin.

DGLA MiCPS-S: Updates, Stats and News..... 5/02/2014

So Spring is finally starting to take shape and the Michigan Cooperative Point Series Summer 2014 season is starting to heat up as well. Just a few weeks in and the leaderboard is already highlighting some of the great state talent. We'll take a peek at the leaderboard to check out what's Hot and Who is shooting it.

So Spring is finally starting to take shape and the Michigan Cooperative Point Series Summer 2014 season is starting to heat up as well. Just a few weeks in and the leaderboard is already highlighting some of the great state talent. We'll take a peek at the leaderboard to check out what's Hot and Who is shooting it. I also like to see who the disc golf gypsies are? You know those players that are always going some place new to play, they know all the courses and always have stories to tell. Man we are blessed to have so many courses throughout the state with more each year which is also the case with leagues and league types; singles, doubles, putting, bag tags, skins, safari, glow, and point series....Oh do we know how to have fun.....

I know I have posted in almost every message that after May 3rd the MiCPS-Summer locks and no new leagues can be added. But still after May 3rd I know I will get a few message that say "hey can you please add our league to the MiCPS, we have players who are asking about getting points for their rounds?" and it kills me to say SORRY. That is why I try so hard to avoid having to say that - so I ask you to bare with me. It's just one of those rules that helps make this work, and fair to the 456 players who are already playing in the 39 leagues - but we look forward to adding your league next season.....

May 3rd is also the deadline to upgrade to DGLA player level for those who want to get some awards and a shot at a berth to the The Discraft Michigan State Championships. I will be activating the separate DGLA Player level leaderboard after May 3rd. Several players from winter already have their berth and several others will secure their at other events during the season so they will not eligible and the berth awards will go to the top Players who do not already have berths after the summer season is over. If you don't have the $30 for the season than make sure you secure your currently FREE DGLA lifetime membership.
http://www.discgolfleagueassociation.org/Membership_/membership_.html

Before I start to highlight leagues and players I have had several questions about "The Berths". So I tell people that the berths are won and are your invitation to compete at The Discraft Michigan State Championships Sat-Sun, August 30-31, in Ludington. The MDGO (Michigan Disc Golf Organization) hosts this B-tier,PDGA sanctioned singles tournament for all levels of players. The MDGO help organize tournaments throughout Michigan, provide fund raising opportunities for clubs and events and support new courses throughout the state in many ways. Coordinating the years tournaments to avoid conflicts is a daunting task but the results we all get to enjoy and the celebration in early Fall, of the season is always an amazing weekend of disc golf in Ludington, at some of the states great courses to be enjoyed with an amazing group of people. The Berth also comes with a Discraft Michigan State Championships player package - super color event discs. It normally is one of four event discs that make a set and are limited edition event discs with matching minis. The other three discs you can get at the event if you want the whole set. Also included is a useful MDGO bottle opener and a variety of Discraft hats with some Buzz caps in the mix this year. Also very useful during the rounds is one of the best water bottles I've used the Discraft water bottle looks sharp too, and especially useful while competing in those three Michigan Championship rounds in Ludington. Now there are only 480 berths awarded at Tournaments and Leagues from January until early August and then there is one last chance to qualify for the State Championships - amazingly enough called the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) the Friday before the Discraft Michigan State Championships, Friday August 29. All levels of players can compete to get in to the Championship if you did not earn a berth but spots are limited and if you want to ensure you get into a specific division you want to register as early as possible. With a lower number of women and youths it is easier for these divisions than some of the others. So there is no reason to not start planning your Championship adventure now because it will be here before you know it and things get booked up as there is a lot going on around Ludington during this holiday weekend especially if you like the outdoors. Now there are more details so I point them to Disc Golf Scene as a starting point:

The Discraft Michigan State Championships
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/The_Discraft_Michigan_State_Championships_2014

Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ)
http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Last_Chance_Qualifier_LCQ_2014

and those who are running events/clubs in Michigan who are not familiar with MDGO I point out they are on Disc Golf Scene but also they have a website http://mdgo.org/ and a Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MDGO_Organizers/ to help with more information - You can even get $5 off your PDGA membership by checking out their website before you register with the PDGA.

OK now most that venture into my kind a long winded posts know I like to dig into the stats and look for trends - now that a bunch of the administrative things are done I can devote a little effort to that here and in future posts. Did I mention the MiCPS locks on May 3rd....

OK so I like to start with the weekly leaderboards to see who is playing the most and who is collecting the most points. These leaderboards have a few surprises from time to time but are a good indicator of who the top performers are even if they can not continue for the whole season.

The most rounds played in a week for April were as it often is, 1 samuel Samsquanch smith with 5 the week of April 13-19. Sam is normally up there in rounds week after week and for all the weeks of April he is near the top with a min of 3 rounds. The list is getting to long at three rounds so here are the top players per week above three:

1 Geoff Bennett 4
1 samuel Samsquanch smith 4

1 samuel Samsquanch smith 5
2 Jay B INSANITY DGC 4

1 samuel Samsquanch smith 5
2 Jay B INSANITY DGC 4

Now the more you play the better your odds are that your point total will climb faster since you have the opportunity to maximize your two best rounds for the week. But what are the biggest point combinations achieved each week?

Well the most points amassed by a player in a given week in April was 112 pts -Wow. Now that was actually just two rounds, of course it helps if each of those rounds has an Ace to collect 25 extra points per Ace. Nicely done Jay B INSANITY DGC. Geoff Bennett best week was 107pts with one Ace. Taggart Anderson collected 102pts with just two rounds - a 1st place finish and a 7th place finish. Well played guys.

Top three week pts overall for April

1 Jay B INSANITY DGC 112
1 Geoff Bennett 107
2 Taggart Anderson 102

Top point totals by week:

1 Jay B INSANITY DGC 112
2 Taggart Anderson 80
3 Geoff Bennett 78

1 Geoff Bennett 107
2 Taggart Anderson 102
3 Joe 'Dirt' LaPerna 88
4 Samantha Socia 86

1 Ted Stoebling 81
2 2 J 76
2 brett hagen 76

1 Ryan Herzog 80
2 2 J 77
3 Jay B INSANITY DGC 72

The April monthly leaderboard currently only has three weeks since the last week is split between April and May so with just three of the April weeks the most league wins belongs to mark ellis with 4 - 3 in a row at Chill Son Dubs, Brighton Recreation Area and 1 at Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League -={Church}=- Suuuuundays, Rolling Hills County Park. Dave Lassen was right behind him with 3 back to back at Night Moose Spring/Summer 2014, Willow Metropark.

Wins
1 mark ellis 4
2 Dave Lassen 3
3 Geoff Bennett 2
3 Paul Tribble 2
3 Ryan Anderson 2
3 Chris Wojciechowski 2
3 mark manard 2
3 Marc Sobota 2
3 Eirik Kauserud 2
3 Ted Stoebling 2
3 Scott Sprow 2
3 "J Bluntz" Quiton 2
3 Jay B INSANITY DGC 2
3 John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan 2

I love to see players get out to several different leagues. This helps spread the good ideas and make the rounds more fun for everyone. I just dream of being able to get out that much so I live my disc golf dream vicariously through these Disc Golf Gypsies. samuel Samsquanch smith & Sam Hardesty managed to get to 5 different leagues in these three weeks. They hit several of the same leagues but there were a couple differences. Man are we lucky with the number of leagues throughout the week in so many areas.

Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League - The Original - Tuesdays
Rolling Hills County Park

Ypsi Dubs 2014 Summer League -={Church}=- Suuuuundays
Rolling Hills County Park

12:00 Saturday Dubs Spring/Summer 2014

Night Moose Spring/Summer 2014
Willow Metropark

Night Moose Nights 2014
Lakeshore, The Ponds

Metro Detroit Disc Golf League 2014
Firefighters Park

2014 Cass Benton Monday Night Doubles
Cass Benton Hills

Leagues
1 samuel Samsquanch smith 5
1 Sam Hardesty 5
3 mark ellis 4
3 Paul Tribble 4
3 Bill Hall 4
3 Joshua Seaver 4
3 mark manard 4
3 Mike Stratford 4
3 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 4
3 Jason Kirkaldy 4
3 Nate Wheeling 4
3 Jay B INSANITY DGC 4
3 Matt "The Spider" Swider 4
3 Ben Calhoun 4

Not everyone can play 3-5 times a week and that is why we try and balance things out by keeping just the two best rounds per week but when you can, not only should your game improve but the point total should be maximized each week. So watch for the Samsquanch lurking in the wood near you and taking home all those points with 14 rounds in three weeks this guy is a playing beast.

Rounds
1 samuel Samsquanch smith 14
2 Geoff Bennett 11
2 Jay B INSANITY DGC 11
4 Taggart Anderson 9
5 Kyle Decaussin 8
6 Ben Calhoun 7
6 Jake Pardo 7
6 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 7
6 Jason Kirkaldy 7
6 Foz Miller 7
6 Sam Hardesty 7
6 Mike Stratford 7
6 Nate Wheeling

Now the ultimate focus of the Point Series is Points and for these three weeks of April, 255 points was the highest accrual achieved and that was by Geoff Bennett. Followed closely by Taggart Anderson with 244.

Points
1 Geoff Bennett 255
2 Taggart Anderson 244
3 John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan 188
3 Jay B INSANITY DGC 188
5 Ted Stoebling 157
6 Ryan Herzog 155
7 Ben Calhoun 154
8 2 J 153
9 brett hagen 152
10 Christian Sersha 150

So what did all that do to the overall standing to date?

I think 6th - 1st will not be a big surprise given the recent weekly and monthly stats review. The Samsquanch shares 6th place with Ben Calhoun but with a big difference in the number of rounds each has played. 2 J own 5th by 3 pts over them but he managed to do this in the least number of rounds - only 5 and yes he took 1st twice but the other three were high point total from a large league - 2014 Friday Night Discin @ Stony (DGLA Summer). Just a small margin above climbing up to 4th for John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan with overall a low round count but he made them all count, with an average of 27pts per round with the best round worth 54 points for the 1st place at Metro Detroit Disc Golf League 2014, Firefighters Park.

DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Summer 2014

16 week State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday April 6th 2014 - Saturday July 26th 2014

Important Deadlines:
*** May 3rd - Last day to add any leagues to the Michigan Cooperative Point Series.
*******************
*** May 3rd - Last Day to upgrade to DGLA Player level - get Player package, eligible for awards and Mi State Championship berths.
*******************

*** May 14th - Last day for leagues to submit their desired Highlighted League of the Week (HLW) - Double Points - round.
May 15th - The remaining league HLW dates will be assigned randomly.

June and July:
HLW will be shown on the schedule - Highlighted in light Green and "Double Points!" to the right.

July 26th - Last round of the Point Series. Leagues have one week to post recent rounds or make any corrections to previous rounds posted. Then the Champion will be announced.

If you play in a league that is not in the MiCPS send me the link to the league About page to see if it can be added. Even leagues that have not started but will have rounds before July 26th can join as long as the league is already posted. All leagues must be added by May 3rd. Handicapped leagues must post adjusted scores to be included.

Currently 37 Leagues & 412 Players have already played in participating Leagues.
That is 4 more leagues than last year and now we are on our way to beat the 617 total players as well.

If you played a league round and do not see the round in your DGLA MiCPS stats: 1) Check the league to see if that round has been posted.
2) If it is posted ensure you are linked to the league properly (Check you profile to see if the round shows on your About page or Stats page)
3) Send me a link to the league leaderboard and tell me which date and I will investigate.

I have had a few question about points calculations and "Dropped" rounds.

Point Calculation Summary - The standard calculation is 2 points for participation, 1 point for each player you beat (ties do not count as beat) and 2 points if you are the outright winner (no tie for first). Now for leagues less than 20 players. The points are awarded from the top down, so even a league with 4 players the winner gets points as if there was 20 and then it counts down. More than 60 players the points are capped at 60. HLW use the same formula but double the result.
Aces count for 25 pts. not double during HLW.

"Dropped" Rounds:
If you see "Dropped" next to a round on your DGLA MiCPS Stats page this means you played more than 2 rounds in that week and this was not one of your two highest scores and so it was dropped. It still counts towards # of Leagues & Rounds leaderboards.

Last summer had 34 leagues and 617 players - well on our way to break some more records in 2014.

If a Michigan league you play is not listed please send me (Foz) the link to the leagues "About" page before May 3rd.

The deadline to add new leagues is May 3rd 2014.

In the DGLA Oregon Cooperative Point Series I highlighted a special league they have out there, a women's only league. I wanted to do the same again for one of our Michigan leagues that has been around for a long time and has the same mission:

HLW: Highlighted Leagues of the Week 2014
I will begin to update the Point Series Schedule with HLW - Highlighted Leagues of the Week - This is when the league round is worth double points. A great time to travel to a new league or visit one you have not been to in awhile. See old friends, make new ones, exchange ideas, have double the fun and get double the points.

If your league has a special date that you would like please contact me otherwise I will begin to randomly assign them trying to spread them out over June and July.

We will have some prizes for the player who plays the most participating leagues played in a given month and another prize for the most leagues played over the whole summer season. These are unique leagues not league rounds. Watch the Leaderboards - Looking at the "Leagues" leader board:

MONTHLY April 6-26, 2014
Leagues
1 Jay B INSANITY DGC 3
1 samuel Samsquanch smith 3
1 Adam Schneider 3
1 Jake Pardo 3
1 Scottie Reslock 3
1 Taggart Anderson 3
1 Jason Kirkaldy 3
1 mark ellis 3

These 8 players are at the top of the Leagues leaderboard for April so far.

Reminder the weekly leaderboards lock on Monday and only those rounds already submitted will be used in the weekly leaderboards stats.

The Monthly leaderboards lock two days after the last day of the month.

If you do not see a league round you played on the MiCPS leaderboard than ensure that league posted the round and ensure your profile shows the round - meaning you are properly linked within that league.

If you see "DROPPED" next to a round it was NOT one of your two best scores from that week (Sunday - Saturday), as only your best two scores are kept per week for MiCPS Points.

When you are new to a league help the league Admin out by either providing your email address used in your Disc Golf Scene profile or your PDGA # if it is listed in your DGS profile, either one can be used to link players profiles to a league.

You may have also notice that the Leaderboard numbers just updated. Sorry we just corrected the point calculation to our Three Tier Point Structure we have been using for the last two years. It gives a boast to the smaller leagues, less than 20 players and caps the larger leagues. Smaller leagues points are awarded from the top down starting with 20 points. Leagues with more than 60 are capped at 60. So there is still advantages to playing the big leagues and yet some equalization if you only have smaller leagues in your area. I highly suggest getting out and playing both large and small leagues they offer different experiences.

So as of now here are our top ten on the overall leaderboard. We can already see the impact of the larger summer leagues.

Uncle Sam say - "Happy Tax day" Remember .000000000000001% of those tax dollars go to support our great parks and courses ;-)

Get out and enjoy some great Michigan Winter/Spring/Summer like rounds - maybe all in the same day ;-)
