DGLA: Ohio Cooperative Point Series - Winter 2016/17

First off I'd like to say thanks to the league admin who keep leagues running each week, week after week so we know we can show up and have a blast playing this great sport and for all those players who help out from time to time - Thanks!!! you really do make a difference.

Also I'm sorry I was unable to make more status posts during the season. Things have been very hectic and I was unable to post summaries and announcements like they should be. If anyone is interested in assisting please hit me up with a message. Just posting local event reminders or a quick view of the stats really makes a difference. It's not ESPN but it's great to hear who is doing what where throughout the state.

Real quick the Summer Point Series is posted so if you play Ohio leagues April - July make sure the league is added so you get points for those rounds - It's free to all Ohio leagues and Players:

16 week State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series

Sunday April 9th 2017 - Saturday July 29th 2017

* Critical Dates *
May 21st 2017 Sunday - Deadline for adding new leagues to the Point Series.

Well a quick look at how everyone played the winter season - 3 leagues and 24 total players. The basic formula to ensure your at the top of the leaderboard is to play often, beat as many opponents each round and Aces are some nice gravy on top. Now not everyone can play multiple rounds a week or have access to multiple leagues but the point system tries to balance that out so everyone has a fighting chance.

14 week season
Sunday Nov 20th 2016 - Saturday Feb 25th 2017
3 leagues Down from 12 last year
140 Total Rounds Played
24 Total # of Players
2418 Total Points awarded

I like to look at the Points per Round Average as it can help compare player potential and helps identify the sleepers or those who were unable to get out to as many rounds as some others but based on how they played if they had gotten out more they probably would have been at the top of the leaderboard.

Now if the number of rounds is high and your in this top ten list based on Points per Round Average then you are not only good but you are consistently good. Congrats. Like eric " Sharky " boyd with 18 rounds. And Andy Morrison with 17 rounds but slightly higher PRA - so how important is a single round - we will come back to that. And there is rollie rush with 10 rounds and 2nd overall in Points Per Round Average - Nice! Then there is the Bill "The Ninja" Savage with only 3 rounds this season but the highest Points per Round average of 25.66666667. I would call him a sleeper this season but as this name has been on so many leaderboards it's not a surprise. The Ace at
Sundays at the Pond - Painesville Kiwanis Recreation Park, Main course full 18, 18 holes with Partner Ryan Tex Kimbro, where he used those Ninja skills to Ace hole #7 really posed his PRA and was the only Ace listed in the overall 10 ten leaderboard. Nice Shot Bill.

Top 10 players based on Points per Round Average (PRA)

10 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 77 3 25.66666667
3 rollie rush 215 10 21.5
13 Kevin Daney 63 3 21
18 Pat Jackson 41 2 20.5
23 James Humphrey 20 1 20
15 Theodore Mote 56 3 18.66666667
2 Andy Morrison 314 17 18.47058824
19 Joe Michelini 36 2 18
5 Bob Becker 213 12 17.75
1 eric " Sharky " boyd 317 18 17.61111111

OK so what did the top 10 players do to secure their place at the top of the leaderboard?
On average they accumulated 181 points by playing around 10 rounds, averaging 18 pts per round and only had to win 2.2 rounds all season.
Top Ten Average stats
181.3 Points
10.2 # of Rounds

18.182 Average Points per Rounds
18.182 Average Points per Counted rounds
2.200 Wins
0.100 Aces

Now there was a point spread between 10th and 1st of 240 points going from 77 to 317 pts. When you look at the stats it's easy to see that the number of rounds played was the big differentiator, ranging from 3 rounds to 18 rounds, all in order from 3 rounds in 10th place to 18 rounds taking the top spot, except rollie rush who managed to make his 10 rounds get him into 3rd instead of 5th - remember his higher PRA above - Nice rounds rollie.

But dedication and perseverance paid off for Andy Morrison & eric " sharky " boyd with the most rounds played by 3-4 more rounds than any other player and a high PRA.

I asked the question above about how important one round can be overall. Well Andy had a 18.4 PRA edging out eric's 17.6. Both awesome, but even though Andy had 0.8 points more a round on average eric's 18th round, just one more than Andy made the difference and lands him in the top spot and our
