The Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open - Pro Side

Robin WW

You're the Best. But Bud is Bestest.

Robin WW

Check in 7:30 - 8:30 , Players meeting 8:30 - 9 . Tee off as close to 9 , but not before, as possible.

Robin WW

Yes. MPO will play the Final 9 from the Blue. I'll post the pins @ 5pm.

Andrew Fish

Thanks.

Robin WW

The Pins for the Final 9 : 1C 2C then carefully walk to 12, there will be a spotter directing traffic to ensure safety, 12C 13B 14C 15B 16B 17B 18C. Everyone plays from the Blues. Things are still yet to be determined, but right now the Final 9 looks like 20 MPO, and 2 in every other Division. The Top 5 Open earn Invites to the USDGC!

I love it. I would have never met had the golfers I know now or wanted to become a pro if it wasn’t for the old mixed cards. I still think pdga events should do this more often. It was the best way to build the disc golf

I admit I think too much like an ameteur. And I shouldn't TDing a Pro Only tournament. But I loved it as well. Getting to play a round with Glenn Henry when I was a beginner was a hoot.

Eric Nichols

I think playing mixed cards is a great idea for league night or maybe a C tier, but you're running the show.

Robin WW

Thank you

I come to Pittsburgh to play grandmasters with j Gary and red and others. You should announce things like this before folks register and book rooms. I think it’s pretty weak to drop that the week of the event.

Robin WW

Wow. Sorry you feel this way. Here's some more late info for you. With the small groups in all divisions other than MPO, It is more than likely some MP40, MP50 and FPO will play together in rounds 2 & 3, and definitely in the Final 9. Unless 8 women sign up!! ... So bring your A game.

Kevin Jacobs

I always bring my A game. I'm happy to play with anyone. I'm just saying that if you're going to do something like this it shouldn't be a secret until the week of the event.

Kevin Jacobs

FTR- Wow you should consult the PDGA Competition Manual before you set up your event:

1.06 Grouping and Sectioning Last updated: Sunday, December 31, 2017 - 18:16 Professional and Amateur players should not be grouped together. Divisions should be grouped together as much as practicable. All players within a division should be grouped for the first round via one of the following methods: Random grouping; players within a division may be randomly grouped for the first round. Player Rating grouping; players within a division may be grouped by player rating to set first round groups. Highest rated player starting on the lowest number hole, the second highest rated player starting on the following hole, etc. This process would continue until all starting holes have been filled. For example, a division of 12 players across 3 holes set by the ranking of their ratings would be: Hole 1: Players 1, 4, 7, and 10 Hole 2: Players 2, 5, 8, and 11 Hole 3: Players 3, 6, 9, and 12 In the case of a division that is large enough to be in multiple pools or sections, the players should be split by rating (example: 72 highest ratings in Pool A and 72 lowest ratings in Pool B) and then randomized within each pool for the first round. C-Tier events have the option to randomly mix divisions for groupings (first round ONLY) with the exception that Junior II - Junior VI divisional players should only be mixed with other players from those same divisions.

I'm not trying to be the party pooper but without rules we'd have fffffreakin' anarchy...

Robin WW

I am not breaking any rules. Note the word "should" in all sentences. It is a suggestion.

Kevin Jacobs

Your reading comprehension skills are clearly lacking. Try reading the last part that clearly indicates that random mixing of divisions is only an option at C-Tiers. Nice job. Oops, sorry, I hope you're not going to rant at me for saying that.

chris deitzel

I would contact the PDGA tournament director.

Mat M

Can u tell me what time and where swap meet is thanku

Robin WW

it was a bust. But get on the Schenley page. they will do something again....

Robin WW

It depends on the size of the Division. I will make sure everyone knows before they tee off. The Final 9 will count towards determining qualifiers, since it will determine who gets first in their Division.

Robin WW

I did see the statement, that divisions other than Open are eligible only if they play the same tee assignments as Open. Thank you J. Gary! I will talk to someone with USDGC to see if I can get around this to award a spot to a FPO and an MP40. Otherwise, it will go to the top 5 Open players, I ... more

I will talk to someone with USDGC to see if I can get around this to award a spot to a FPO and an MP40. Otherwise, it will go to the top 5 Open players, I should have done my homework. I think it too late to have everyone play the same tees.... Sign up Women & Old Pros!!

Robin WW

The 5 USDGC Invites will go to the Top 5 Open players after the Final 9. Sorry Ladies and Old Pros, not my rule. I am not going to make Open play a round of Blue and Women play 2 rounds of Gold. ... Unless I hear unanimous cries from a Division. Sign Up!

Robin WW

Thank you. I hope to provide an accurate history in the program. I saw the first one was in 1988, and there wasn't one the year of the World's. KB said there was one other year that was missed, .... any records would be appreciated.
