Title: how to generate a list of all the players who played in a T over 9 years
Post by: airspuds on September 09, 2011, 09:55:02 AM
I have played all 9 of the Homie T's

How would you grab all the pdga T data to see who else has played and the # of times they played for all the  9 's  ?


excel   maybe  ?

trying to find out who else has played and the # of times

thoughts

I missed the 1st year. I had not played a PDGA event until 2003. Haven't missed a Homie yet.

If I were you Mike i'd go to this link and print off the list. I'd go to 2003 and start crossing off the people who have missed it and so on for each year.

That first year was crazy. Half of the course was flooded with waist high water. Changing the location to Lemon Lake was a good move.

Hey, Blaster was second in open that first year. Too bad you can't look at all of Blaster's tournament stats, I would love to see those. If someone passes away you should still be able to look at their stats, because I doubt he will ever renew his membership.

I would highly recommend sending that suggestion to the PDGA and see if they take action on it.  The name would have to get reported to the PDGA as the member is deceased, and then unlock their stats.  It would be a nice tribute to that player.  If my dad was a pdga tournament playing member before he died I definitely would want the pdga to do that for him!

I think that they would have to be an active member, prior to passing away if the pdga were to do that.

Personally I wish they'd just keep the stats for everyone unlocked as of the last time they were current. It would make things much easier as a TD that's for sure. If players aren't current. Just don't anything since they were last current.

I agree that the PDGA should not hold your past stats for ransom. If you paid the membership for that year those stats should stay up if you renew or not. I think it's a crappy thing for them to do, the membership is not cheap. Oh, I forgot about the magazine, that is worth the $75.00 alone.

This is a little far afield from the original question but seems to follow the drift:

If you type in a Google search window, for example,

site:www.pdga.com Kris Hutter

you can use Google to pull up a non-current member's recent stats.  If you click on his most recent tournament, you can find his current rating that way.

"but then some other disc golf organization might come in and use our data to better compete against us and steal our membership" thats the response i would expect. i mean hell you have to work to find any info now, i miss easy access to SSAs.

i hate to say it but with the way things are going with them it almost feels like we NEED to have a different, better organization.
