Ok now back to the Disc Golf League Channel ;-)
DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Summer 2016 7th Annual MiCPS
Week # 7 of 16
32 possible Counted Rounds for the season
Sunday April 10th 2016 - Saturday July 30th 2016
Currently:
30 leagues
497 Total # of Players
2459 Total Rounds Played
42,269 Total Points awarded
This next section of stats I look at what does it take to be in the Top Ten based on all the average of the currently best 10 players:
Top Ten Average stats (All Rounds)
373.3 Average Points
19.1 # of Rounds 1.2 Avg Rounds / week
12.6 # of Rounds Counted 0.8 Avg Rounds / week
21.150 Average Points per Rounds
30.599 Average Points per Counted rounds
3.8 Wins
0.6 Aces
0.6 HLW
310 Min points
525 Max points
215 Point Spread
I have been looking at these stats for 8 years now, multiple mathematical and psychological models and I have found the secrete. Now it may be too simple for some of you but it proves out every season..... - "Play Well Often". Ok some of you need more details I know - What does "Well" mean and how Often is Often?
Ok if your in the top 10 of the current 497 players across Michigan I will be airing out your dirty little stats for all to see, so they know how you did it so far and what they need to do to knock you out of the top ten spots on the DGLA MICPS leaderboard.
What does it take to make it in the top ten league players of the MiCPS 2016? Lets look deeper.....
So at week 7 with Two rounds a week you can have 14 counted rounds adding to your point total at this date and time (OK we are at the beginning of week 8 when I pulled these stats (Wednesday) so currently the max is 15 rounds for the over achievers. Get a job - I mean your living my dream ;-)
If more than 2 rounds are played in a week (Sunday - Saturday) the lower score rounds are "Dropped" helping you Point to Round ratio but also giving those who can only play once to twice a week a fighting chance.
To give you an example of how this works. Let's take the Player in the top 10 who has the least number of total rounds played.
#7 Christian Sersha & #10 Daniel J Lee - each with 11 rounds total played. Each played 3 rounds in one week so they have one dropped round each. If I look at #7 Christian Sersha his Pts per round ratio for Total rounds played is 29.72727273 for 11 rounds but since only 10 were counted, his Counted Pts per Round ratio is 32.7
Our Highest Counted Round Pts per Round Ratio in the top ten is: So with 13 rounds played, 5 dropped, 8 counted rounds and a Counted Rounds Pts per Round Ratio of a whopping 50.375 pts /rnd #4 Geoff Bennett. So on average Geoff is getting 50+pts every time he plays, which is 20 pts/rnd higher than the rest of the top ten, so why isn't he at the top of the leaderboard?
Well with players like Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 23 rounds, 14 counted, CRR (Counted Round ratio) of 29.42857143 , Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 22 rounds, 14 counted, CRR 31.85714286, and Jay B 34 rounds, 15 counted, CRR 35 .....34 rounds - in 60 days and those are just the DGLA MiCPS League rounds. NICE! Play On Jay.
Yes - just not enough rounds played at participating leagues .
So "Play Often" you increase your max point potential
"Play Well" you get more points per round.
"Play Well Often" and you maximize your standing on the leaderboard. - Proven once again.
Let's get to the raw dirty little stats:
I tried to format them a little differently this time to make it easier to read.
All Leaderboards · Overall Points
Leaderboard Position [Points] [Total Rounds] [Counted Rounds] [Total Rounds Ratio] [Counted Rounds Ratio]
1 Jay B 525 34 15 15.44117647 35
2 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 446 22 14 20.27272727 31.85714286
3 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 412 23 14 17.91304348 29.42857143
4 Geoff Bennett 403 13 8 31 50.375
5 Taggart Anderson 335 16 13 20.9375 25.76923077
6 Tim Gacioch 334 21 14 15.9047619 23.85714286
7 Christian Sersha 327 11 10 29.72727273 32.7
8 Russell Taint 322 21 15 15.33333333 21.46666667
9 Brian " Hyzer" Crouch 319 19 13 16.78947368 24.53846154
10 Daniel J Lee 310 11 10 28.18181818 31
Now what else helps characterize & differentiate players?
Wins - How often did a player get Max points for the league they played.
Aces - Nice Shot! and Extra Points - Cha Ching! 25 points extra for hitting that Hole in One.
HLW - Got Double Points? How often did you increase your point earning potential by attending a Highlighted League of the Week for Double Points and Double the fun?
Leaderboard Position Points Wins Aces (HLW / Double PTs. # of events)
1 Jay B 525 16 1 1
2 Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common 446 4 1 1
3 Jerry "Chilly" Chilson 412 2 2 1
4 Geoff Bennett 403 6 0 1
5 Taggart Anderson 335 1 0 0
6 Tim Gacioch 334 3 0 1
7 Christian Sersha 327 0 1 0
8 Russell Taint 322 2 0 1
9 Brian " Hyzer" Crouch 319 2 0 0
10 Daniel J Lee 310 2 1 0
Play Well - Look at those wins - players in the top ten had a Win average of 3.8 wins with Jay B blowing the lid off this stat with 16 wins for his 34 rounds played Win/Rnd average of 0.470588. Geoff had a almost the same Win Average 0.461538 from 6 wins in 13 total rounds, just needed more rounds. Those pesky tournaments are getting in the way of leagues....... ;-)
Aces - Oh the thrill and excitement of the perfect throw or some awesome tree love - Hopefully a Fist Full of Dollars and 25 extra points. 5 of our Top Ten have Aces during any of there MiCPS League rounds this season, 4 with 1 ace each and Chilly with two to his name. - Nice Shots guys. Average Aces for the top ten is 0.6 - Man that seems to be what I get per round - 0.6 of an Ace and then it rolls 30 feet..... ;-0
HLW - Highlighted Leagues of the Weeks - Double Points - 6 of the top ten have attended 1 HLW so far. This ensured that they had the chance to fully maximize their highest point total possible, with the potential to separated them for those who did not make it to a HLW. Only 12 HLWs this season throughout the state with 10 still left - one tonight. Set the GPS for Iron Mountain. The more you compete in the higher your max point potential is. Make sure you check out the MiCPS Schedule and look for the Highlighted rounds with Double Points next to them. My current prediction is that Saturday July 30th (last day of the season) at Willow Metropark the top players will be in attendance for a battle and last Double Points of the season.
Saturday July 30, 2016 12:00pm 12:00 SATURDAY DUBS Spring and Summer 2016
Willow Metropark Double points!
How about the other top 20 leaderboard positions?
11 Scottie Reslock 307 18
12 Jeff Hollinger WPD 306 12 25.5
13 brent moreno "WPD" 302 17 17.76470588
14 peter boucher 291 15 19.4
15 Bill "El Nueve" Chapman 287 12 23.91666667
16 Jay Moyer 286 13 22
17 John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan 283 11 25.72727273
18 Jason Jopps 279 10 27.9
18 Michael Christian 279 9 31
20 Jake Anderson 277 11 25.18181818
So I hope no complaints on the weather. Ok maybe a freak few minutes of some hail, or spiking high temps that makes you throw the switch from Heat to Cool on the HVAC but man are we lucky to be playing Michigan Disc Golf. Get out and enjoy as many of these great MI courses as possible - a great time to do that is by visiting the local league and get the local players insights and hopefully steal some of their points (In the friendliest of ways ;-) HLW is even better - actually statistically proven to be DOUBLY better.
Thanks to all the League Admin and players who help them out - No matter what color socks they wear.
Peace and Enjoy the Rounds
