DGLA: the Disc Golf League Association is a Non-Profit organization founded in 2009 to help disc golf players, clubs and leagues.
Based on player's and league coordinator's ideas and comments and the continued devotion of the DGLA and DGS staff during countless disc golf rounds and hours at the our local brewery/// I mean, hours of board meetings - the rules for the DGLA State-wide 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 balance this against many who cannot play more than once or twice a week.
During a week (Sunday to Saturday) points are calculated for each participating league round you play. The highest TWO point total from a 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 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. DGLA is working with the DiscGolfScene to create a automatic Handicapped system - coming soon
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 Cali rounds with multiple Cali teams, 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 OhCPS points are calculated independently, allowing league more flexibility to continue with their legacy systems or try new ones for their individual leagues.
OhCPS automatically keeps your best TWO rounds per week (Sunday - Saturday) when calculating your OhCPS total points. This is automatically recalculated whenever new scores are posted or scores are updated. If you play more than two rounds in a week (Sunday - Saturday) then the lower scores will show as "Dropped". 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.
Disc Golf Scene has monthly awards based on OhCPS rounds for each month. Check the OhCPS Leaderboard to see special highlights and achievements. That’s more DGS Bling for your profile.
********************************
There are more leagues than ever so get out to 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.
As a player in the OhCPS-S you represent the core Ohio 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 the sport. 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. One of the biggest arguments to closing a course or making it pay to play is the is keeping the course clean. We have naturally beautiful courses let's help keep them that way.
If you have questions or ideas concerning DGLA or the OhCPS please post your comments or send us a message.

DGLA OhCPS-Winter 2013/2014 Final Results
14 week Ohio State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday Nov 24th 2013 - Saturday Mar 1st 2014
Overall Summary:
# of Players 45
# of participating Leagues 7
So a quick look at the overall final standings and then some stats and trends from February.
I have been watching the Point Series stats from the first small one in Michigan 5 years ago. The factors change as the number & size of leagues change. One of the key stats normally is Average Points per Round. With the trend being those who normally have a higher point average per round are normally the ones at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season but there are other factors such as how often you actually play.
For the top ten I generated the stats to begin looking at the numbers:
Points / Round average:
Max 21.6
Avg 18.87354716
Min 17.22222222
I initially was surprised to see that the Max Pt/Round was from 10th place. Greg Platt with 108 points ended up tied with Steven Cain but Greg did it in one less round than Steven to achieve the highest point/round average - Nicely done Greg - a few more rounds like that and you at the top of the list.
Maybe more surprising was that the lowest pt/round avg was at the 5th spot - 17.2 by Mickey Anderson, way to make ever round count Mickey, another one to watch this summer if he gets more rounds in...
Back to tenth place to look a little deeper. Greg Platt with 5 rounds had 5 league wins between two different leagues he played - man you can't get much more consistent than that. Nicely played Greg.
With less rounds the difference between point totals is less, this gap will grow as league size grows. This smaller gap was just what Steven Cain took advantage of and with the extra round tied Greg for the 10th spot.
Joe Michelini did a little bit of both - add another round and a league win - bada-bing bada-boom - he jumped up to 9th place solo.
Does that formula work for others? - well ask james moose graham - he added another round and won 3 of his 7 rounds.
Now which is more important, the win or the # of rounds? Well Thomas Golubski got in just one more round but did not have as many wins BUT he consistently was near the top of each round with 2 wins, four 2nd place, one 3rd place and one 4th place round finishes to secure 7th place.
Also with 8 rounds; three 2nd place, a 3rd place and a 5th place but added one more win for three wins PK Deaner with a 2 pt advantage takes 6th place - Nice win.
Mickey Anderson takes advantage of the round count, rewarded for getting out in the winter weather with 9 rounds takes 5th place.
Three wins and 11 rounds, the points total up for Mike Thomas to secure 4th place.
tim toth also had 11 rounds and three wins but managed to squeeze 23 more points out of those other 8 rounds he did not win to edge up to 3rd place.
If the formula works why not add another win and another round and the results say 10 more points and one more rung up the leaderboard ladder to 2nd place - nibble as a ninja - Bill "The Ninja" Savage. Great season Bill.
Ok, Have I beat this trend to death yet, well I don't need to tell Larry Bright Jr. He was bright enough or skilled enough to get to the top of the leaderboard for most of the season. with 14 rounds and 5 round wins - that was the winning formula and why Larry Bright Jr. is our First ever DGLA Ohio State Disc Golf League Champion for Winter 2013/14.
What a great achievement - great play this Winter Larry. Larry I hope your warmed up because the Summer Point Series really turns up the heat. New players, more players, playing more rounds and traveling to more leagues - Man this is going to be fun...

8 james moose graham 140 7
9 Joe Michelini 113 6
10 Greg Platt 108 5
10 Steven Cain 108 6
Again congrats to all the players, and especial those who overcame the special Winter elements to achieve, to share in the joy of this sport and enjoy the amazing courses we have in all their winter glory. Grab a friend and take them out to leagues - the fun grows for everyone.
So in February we had 2 players manage to get to 2 different leagues.

Playing the numbers game - the more rounds you play the higher the probability is that you will maximize your point total. Again those players with more rounds tend to be higher on the leaderboard.
Larry Bright Jr. topped the Rounds leaderboard and it seemed to help him overall ;-)

Playing more should help continue your growth and add to your experience which allows you to perform in more situations at a higher level. The ultimately formula for success in the point series is consistently playing often at a high level - one measure of that is the number of wins. The highest number of league wins in February was achieved by both PK Deaner & tim toth with 2 wins each.

OK it's been a long winter so here is long post to help fill you in on the latest OhCPS-W news.
What topics will I ramble on about in this news post:
* OhCPS - Finale?
* OhCPS - The Future is in your hands...
* January Weekly and Monthly stats update
**** OhCPS - Finale?
All of us here at DGLA are excited to see how the Ohio players have taken to the Ohio Cooperative Point Series and provided feedback and suggestions. This interaction is a great starting place for the Cooperative aspect and shows that the future of the OhCPS is great if history is an indicator the Ohio disc golf leagues are posed for some significant growth. Very exciting.
A few have asked about a event to wrap up the season. We are excited to explore this for the future with interested players and league admin in Ohio. In the mean time here is something to consider that has added excitement and the chance for more points in other Cooperative Point Series. The Raid: With a little collaboration and cooperation you can get a few local leagues to converge ("Raid") at one league round and have a super league round. Now only one league post the round so this could affect individual leagues as they have one less round for the season but the net gain is worth it and the impact is minimized if the plan is posted and discussed with the league members early. If you pick a morning league and afternoon league you can really maximize the fun with many more players, grab a bar-B for a fun lunch before the 2nd round. At the end of the winter season a few fair weather players begin to come out of hibernation and are trying to get back in the swing of the game - these types of events are a great way to get more players out and the current players smiling - The more players, the more points but even more important, the MORE FUN.
*** OhCPS - The Future is in your hands...
So you see that players make a difference; with suggestions, and even questions to help us identify what is not clear to everyone and of course the volunteers. There are many ways to get involved and help Disc Golf leagues and the sport grow and improve.
Everyone has an impact, either negatively or positively. It can be as simple as helping a league Admin during registration. These guys help ensure we have a consistent event to increase our fun. How often do we thank them for their efforts - THANKS for all you do - League Admin.
Creating a fair, safe and encouraging environment to play our sport with other players that we can share, grow and compete with, week after week, is a major factor in the growth of this sport.
Tournaments are the ultimate test of players skill at that moment, under those conditions with a strong focus on competition. Leagues bring players together week after week with more emphasis on fun while still competing, learning, sharing. Look at any sport and you will find many time more players involved in leagues and the more players in leagues means an increase in players attending tournaments.
The future of Ohio Disc Golf is in the hands of the Ohio players on the courses right now. DGLA is excited to help you define and achieve your goals and we will share what others are doing in other states.
**** January Weekly and Monthly stats update
First realize their is only three weeks left in the OhCPS-Winter 2014 - Can you tell the seasons are changing and Spring is almost here??? OK maybe we need to send mother nature a Outlook reminder but Spring weather will arrive, the bugs will start to do their thing, the casual will attack the courses as well and we will continue to play our game. Dig out of the recent snow and get ready for shorts and tee shirts soon.
45 total players have played in the OhCPS-W 2014 so far.
7 participating leagues
In January 25 players played rounds in the OhCPS-W, that is a OhCPS Record for January (OK it's the first January of the OhCPS but all records have to start some place ;-) AWESOME!
So what was the result of those January winter rounds?....
Most rounds played in a given week during January was 2 by
1 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 2
1 Larry Bright Jr. 2
1 tim toth 2
Most points in a given week with how they achieve it????
Not a big surprise the more rounds you play the higher the probability of maximizing your point accrual.
1 Larry Bright Jr. 40
How? A league round Win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 22 pts & a 4th place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 18 points.
2 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 39
How? A league round Win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 22 pts (Yeah he was Larry's partner above) & a 5th place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 17 points.
3 tim toth 37
How? A 2nd place finish at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles for 18 pts & a 2nd place at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League for another 19 points.
Others at the top of the weekly Points leaderboard:
1 Mike Thomas 22 1st place win at Sunday dubs
1 Kevin Daney 22 1st place win at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles
1 tim toth 22 2nd place win at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
1 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 23 1st place win at 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
1 Greg Platt 23 1st place win at SCDGA THE WORKS
Some other Weekly Point leaderboard top performers:
4 eric wernet 23
5 PK Deaner 22
3 Thomas Golubski 22
4 james moose graham 20
********
How did the January overall stats looks once everything was combined:
2 players made it out to play at least two different leagues during January:
1 Larry Bright Jr. 2
1 Greg Platt 2
25 players in January - 16 players played 1 round during January. 7 players got in 2 rounds, 2 players managed 3 rounds:

Well played guys....
Well the point point getter for January with three rounds,
1st place at Sunday dubs
2 x 2nd place at Sunday dubs
Mike Thomas - well done Mike.
The second highest January point getter was Thomas Golubski with three rounds at Sunday dubs, 1st, 2nd and 4th.
Both show you don't always have to win every round to accumulate a lot of points.

6 Larry Bright Jr. 36 2
7 Joe Michelini 35 2
8 PK Deaner 32 2
8 Mickey Anderson 32 2
10 Kevin Daney 22 1
So we see the guys at the top of the points are also the ones who continue to show up on the # of Rounds leaderboard and also continue to perform well. Now not everyone has the opportunity to play multiple times a week and so there are some (performing) "sleepers" out there that if they could, the stats show they would be giving the leaders a run for their points.
Let's look at Average Points per Round accumulation:
Kevin Daney - Although for January he is sitting at 10th for point accumulation in January he has the highest point/round average of 22 - 1st place finish at Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles. Kevin has won both of his two rounds in the OhCPS. Keep it up Kevin.
Greg Platt - Two 1st place finishes - Sunday dubs & SCDGA THE WORKS
tim toth - 2nd and 3rd place finish in two rounds - 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
10 Kevin Daney 22 1 22
3 Greg Platt 41 2 20.5
3 tim toth 41 2 20.5
5 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 40 2 20
1 Mike Thomas 58 3 19.33333333
6 Larry Bright Jr. 36 2 18
7 Joe Michelini 35 2 17.5
2 Thomas Golubski 50 3 16.66666667
8 PK Deaner 32 2 16
8 Mickey Anderson 32 2 16

***********
Also the last day to add a new league to the OhCPS – Winter is Jan 15th as well.
***********
So what's been going throughout Ohio leagues in the last few weeks? Well I'm not in Ohio and I am not out playing your leagues so all I have are these stats to comment on. I'd love to add any insights, crazy happenings and any local color anyone is willing to share. Otherwise I will just scan the stats and see who is doing what. The other thing that would help is a few pictures of leagues; registration, some play, the weather ect. Post the pictures on your profile and in the Album setting link them to your league, then everyone can get a view of disc golf throughout the state or across the country. I see Osborne Iceberg League has 87 photos - Thanks! Looks like everyone is having a winter blast ;-)
Ok for the month of December (1st – 28th) , two days after the 28th, Disc Golf Scene magic happens and the special weekly Leaderboards lock – only those rounds posted to that points are included.
The overall leader board updates when ever a league round is posted or updated.
The results - Players get extra Achievement Bling on their profile pages and the special leaderboards memorialises the achievements; the most Rounds played and most Points accumulated during a week, and Month, as well as most Wins and most Leagues played for the month.
It’s currently week 7 so everyone still has time to climb the leaderboard. Let’s take a look at who is playing and who is achieving.
Greatest points accumulated in a week for the month of December:
Larry Bright Jr. 41 points week #
Two league round Wins:
Sims Sunday Winter Scrambles & 2013-14 Osborne Iceberg League
The next highest weekly point getters during December were:
Bill "The Ninja" Savage 23 Week # 2 & 3
Brian T 23
james moose graham 23
zero 84 23
tim toth 23
Mike Thomas 22
Greg Platt 22
Tim kaihlanen 22
Greg Platt 22
Thomas Golubski 22
Mickey Anderson 20 Week 2 & 5
tim toth 20
Scott McCullough 20
Steven Cain 20
Brian T 20
james moose graham 20
Note that winning a singles round with 20 or less players will earn you the max points for this size league. Leagues with less than 20 players the points are calculated starting with 20 for the winner, plus 2 points for participation and if there is no tie for first then they are the Outright winner and get an extra point.
So even a league of 4 players the winner(s) get at least 20 points. A round has to have at least 4 players to count. So playing any league in Ohio even if there are only 4 players keeps you in the running. It looks like the current winter Ohio leagues run between 16 to 4 player per round.
The OhCPS - uses your two best rounds and drops the others - Play a third round drop your worst round - maximize your points. It's a long winter - anything can happen.
So who Played the most rounds in a given week?
Most rounds played in a given week for December was 3, achieved by two players.
Larry Bright Jr. 2 rounds week 5 as mentioned above when he racked up the 41 points.
Way to get out and enjoy the rounds even in Winter guys.
Ok now let’s look at the December overall stats:
In a 14 week Point series a good week is great but consistency is long term success strategy. Just getting out each week will keep you in striking distance and the ultimate is consistently winning but there are a lot of other players out there trying to do the same.
38 Players played in these 7 leagues during December for a total of 69 rounds.

OK great weekly and monthly achievements by everyone.
The trends for December are pretty clear. The players who got in their two rounds in a week racked up the most points. Wins helps - collecting the most points for a given round. You don't have to win a bunch of round to collect a bunch of points and stay within striking distance for the long haul.
Let the games Continue......
Lets see where the overall standings are currently:

,,,,,
Ok so some of the secrets are pretty obvious.
The more rounds you play the higher the probability you will learn new skills to improve your game.
The more you improve the better your finish and the points help track that for you.
Getting out even when the weather is challenging. You get used to playing in differing conditions - your ready for any situation.... It's also great to be out on the course in different conditions to experience the full range of beauty that our parks offer us.
The more leagues you visit the more you learn about how different groups run their leagues, side games, new ideas, and these ideas spread. You also meet more players, make new friends and find new players to play with.
Like weather conditions courses change the game as well. The more courses you play the better you are at assessing the course and your find your throw more variety of shots, versus playing the same holes the same way each round.
Welcome to all the new players. Great to see all the regulars on the leaderboards week after week.
Thanks again to DiscGolfScene for all the auto-magic that makes this possible and the League Coordinators who make leagues happen week after week, in every condition possible, so we can play some more Disc Golf...
Everyone enjoy the Winter league rounds - Stay Warm and Safe.
Larry Bright Jr.
how do i link up the Hudson Springs DGC Tues Night Scrambles to your summer session?
You just did - The eisiest way is to send me (Foz) the URL of the league page so I get it right. You should see the something like this on the league page once it has been added: Part of DGLA: Ohio Cooperative Point Series - Summer 2014
