Thanks for supporting DGLA and helping to support the Disc Golf Leagues in Oregon. The Disc Golf League Association, inc (DGLA) is a Michigan Non-Profit organization helping 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 the rules for the DGLA Oregon Statewide Point Series are available here.

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.

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 OrCPS points are calculated independently, allowing league more flexibility to continue with their legacy systems or try new point systems.

OrCPS automatically keeps your best TWO rounds per week (Sunday - Saturday) when calculating your OrCPS 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 Oregon State Championships berths for the OrCPS-Winter season. More ways to secure your berth and compete in another great Oregon state-wide disc golf event.

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

DGLA hopes to offer more awards this season based on monthly achievements and more - Thanks to those who donated to this cause.
********************************

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.

As a player in the OrCPS you represent the core Oregon 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.

Thanks and enjoy the Rounds.
