DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Winter 2014/15 (2/20/15)

@ One Week Left in the MiCPS-W

It's a great time to look back at the different Winter seasons to see how things are progressing and so at a high level I looked at the number of players and number of leagues participating as we wrap up our 5th Winter MiCPS.
Note when we started we used to try and grab all posted Michigan leagues and add them to the point Series to help ensure they were aware of the MiCPS and to try and reach one of our goals to bring all the Michigan leagues together so all players could see all the different leagues and players through the state. A few leagues had expressed they did not want this so we posted that the Point Series is now an Opt In event and unfortunately this has led to some leagues not make it in but the overall player numbers still grows per league - AWESOME!

2010/11 361 total players 14 participating leagues
2011/12 349 total players 15 participating leagues
2012/13 475 total players 29 participating leagues
2013/14 450 total players 32 participating leagues
2014/15 354 total players 18 participating leagues Not done yet ;-)

OK we have a one week from this Saturday until the Winter season is over and we can get out the Shorts and t-shirts and enjoy warmer weather rounds - I'm optimistic ;-) Forget that Rodent movie star....

********************************
Last day of the season for Rounds: Feb 28th
Cut-off for league rounds posting and updates: March 7th
********************************

Yes after the the last rounds on Saturday Feb 28th leagues will have one week to wrap up their round postings and any updates. We will then review the posted comments to try and determine the Coldest Round and Deepest Snow Round for Triple Points and then the Leaderboard will be locked.

At that time we will also review the DGLA player leaderboard and award the Top Two Players by points who do not already have Mi Discraft State Championships berths for this November. We will award the remaining 4 berths after the Summer Season. Per our tradition one is garanteed to the Top Women and the other three to the top players by Points who do not already have berths. We will also calculate the awards and since we did not reach 40 or more player (16 players for Winter) they all will be awarded some level of DGLA award. Since we did not do player packages this year we will have extra DGLA Bucks to be awarded. These 16 players are also already in for the Summer season at no additional cost - Cha Ching - even more Ching.

This is also a great time to get feedback on the Winter season:
1) Was the 14 week season just right? Should is start earlier, end later, shorter or longer?
(Nov 23rd to Feb 28th )

2) Did you like the additional Double Points for 2" or more snow during a Round?

3) Any other feedback or suggestions are welcomed - help improve your MiCPS

For the MiCPS-Summer 2015 - It was suggested last year to start later to give more time for all the leagues to start their summer season and not start already behind in points.
Last year we did Apri 6th - July 26th 14 weeks.
We have tried to end a few weeks before the Mi Discraft State Championships so that Berths are awarded in enough time and players can decide how they prepare.
This year we are looking at making the season a bit longer but start just a little later:
April 12th - Aug 1st - a 16 week season

With a little over a week left here is how the top 20 of the overall leaderboard is looking.
