Nate. Thanks for your interest. I've been giving a lot of thought to your post. For the year end event I'd to have the top 3 placers from each league based on the TD's scoring system. That makes Calvert an issue because there is no scoring system for those leagues. I'm thinking about using Scaboro's method (win, get a point) to give berths. Then perhaps the top 20 freestate players who didn't get a berth from their league. This will reward people for traveling to different courses. I'd like the championship to be inclusive, rather than exclusive. Any thoughts?

Jerry-Was reading your discussion with Papa Bear. I play as many as 3 doubles events a week between Calvert/Rockburn. I've sat at first and now second in the overall standings. Due mostly in part to playing more doubles events than many others. It doesn't mean I'm the better player and I wouldn't want to get a spot at the year end event over someone who was. I can find plenty of folks lower in the standings that I know are better players. I guess part of what plays int ... more

I would say the player makes that call. I also think that we all have what we consider to be our home course and would imagine that's the course we would want to represent. What are your thoughts?

I realize this is a Beta Run year. Just figured I'd bring it up now rather than later. Also gives you something to think about for next year. I like the idea of participants having the ability to get more point by playing more courses because it promotes more play at multiple courses. It is a little unfair tho to those in outlying areas but it could give us more visitors in the summer with metro players coming to the beach. The problem as I see it would develop if a top 2 player from Calver ... more

Good question chris. The biggest overlap is calvert/rockburn because of their proximity. The championship berths are determined by course league standings. I'm still unsure about a couple of things. How to award berths to calvert, should I use freestate standings or just the points fm calvert? And should the at-large berths come fm freestate or course standings. Part of the reason i'd like to have an at-large fm each course is because the 3 outlying courses don't have the ... more

Jerry - just curious how you'll handle top teams from each course being in the finals when you have numerous individuals playing multiple courses. Will they have the option of which course they want to represent?

Way to go Kevin! You went west, brought your friends, and jumped into 1st.

@kevin. I checked the scores and it looks like papa bear got it right. Don't hesitate in the future to point out errors.

@sean. Initially, I tossed out the anomalous 91 and figured the avg. I've redone the seneca scores since there was no provision to arbitrarily do so. In the future I will use 72 as the highest score allowed for 18 hole courses.

Additionally, I'm thinking of expanding at-large berths for the championship. I think there should be the winning doubles team and one at-large player from each league.

Doesn't look like it according to you guys scores. Your average was 58 as well and you got 13.5 points shooting a 50. Same as our first place finishers who got only 9.5.

I believe its a 1/2 point per better average but not sure

And so forth down the line. I should have received Maybe I am understanding the scoring wrong, but it seems as though the Seneca Folks should have gotten more points? If the event average was 58 and the two first place teams shot 50, wouldn't they get 13 points? They start with 5 and shot 8 better then average thus getting 8 points on top of the 5? And so forth down the line.
