Jason,

If you do half in you better hire Bruce as a consultant. Saturday at Aurora was crazy with the payouts. There were half-ins cashing. There were half-ins cashing & taking prizes instead of cash. Money got bumped to the top. The concept is a good one but very difficult to run properly. I was lost. I held the bags and Bruce told me what to do.

[Bruce Brakel]

It is simple enough conceptually.  If half-ins cash they get half.  If they cash in a tie, first you average or split the payouts for the ties, and the give them half of their split.  The highest cashing half-in's other half goes to the highest cashing full-in.  The second highest half-in to the second highest full in. 

I think trophy-only is harder to deal with than 1/2 in. 

Brett, I've got an idea to make that process go smoother. 

[pickax]

Half in is harder unless you use the calculator. (Did you use it Saturday?) Ties with half-in are a pain in the neck.

[El Mexicano]

Has it been  decided which courses are to be used and how many rounds will be played? Let us know.

duain,

skipache (Jason Rose) is TD for darkside.

[duain]

 

[stpitner]

Chains of Pain will be at Bevier on the 26th, I'm the TD.  It will be AM only as I figure all of the pro's would rather go play the Joliet tournament.  I forgot about AM's playing pro and not taking cash when I gave the thumbs up to the scheduling, but I'll survive.

I'll post more information about it later - and because I don't want to steal the thread

[Sr.]

busy weekend, for those that dont want to play pro in joliet, there is a dark side of disc tourney in kirkland on the 25th and a doubles in rockford supposly that weekend not sure what day, they were still figuring it out.

Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club will be hosting a glow tournament at Jericho Lake Park on October 25th also. A thread soon to come.

[El Mexicano]

cool.

[skipache]

hey duain,

jason rose is not the person who posts things on that website, it isnt his desicion what events are posted there or not

[can't putt]

Of course, knowing the misinformation is there, Jason could easily contact Wilbur with the correction.
