34 contestants came out to play in some ideal conditions (for winter), and we had a really tight battle, with the handicaps factored in.
1. Tyler Pohler: 36.4
2. Kristin White: 40
3. Joe Caissie: 40.7
4. Julia Musser: 42.4
Weirdly enough, since Tyler only played 3 rounds, Kristin only played 5, and I played all 10, all three of the top finishers got the same payout, or $75.31. Julia rounded out the top 4, picking up $15.06.
Congratulations to Joe Schacht, who didn't pick up the rating or any money for it, but his 47 would have been the lowest score on Davis for the entire league...he also would have hit the elusive Davis Bounty!
I'm going to do some work on the handicaps - I may tweak them a little bit downward. Another option is that we keep the same handicaps but we do two pools. From the early results, it looks like the handicaps are a little aggressive for the lower-rated players, so if we partition them off into a separate pool, that will mitigate things - and then if we're doing handicaps, it won't hurt so much if you tilt over the edge into the higher pool. I'll be updating at the Winter Series #14 page: https://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Alaska_PDGA_Winter_Series_14_2021. Good league everyone! See you next week at Westchester!
