Ratings

[mirth]

As far as getting the wheel spinning,  maybe u should try to hand out flyers that advertise the Illinois Open Series.   Just a thought.  Did you guys even make up any IOS flyers?

I dunno. I think this is the most poorly advertised tournament series evah. EVAH!!!

Working on getting a D-teir or something at Parkside where we use the same set up with the short tees and it might be able to give a rating for the Priare open ams... might..

Damon,

Unfortunately the only reason the Adv. Masters got a rating for the first round from the long tees is because the PDGA assumed that it was the same setting as the Pro's played.  All of those ratings are bogus since we played easier basket settings than the Pro's played.  If you inspect the ratings compared to the Pro's you will find the same rating for the same score.

Hi Dennis:

Yeah, I noticed that; but I'll never tell... sorta makes up for the 2nd round not getting rated at all.

Hmm, dropping down to an even worse Rec rating wasn't exactly what I had hoped for this summer...

Hopefully when Fairfield and the Blast are added next time it will bring it up a little.

[mirth]

Yaaay, I can retain my rec status for a little while longer.

[Bruce Brakel]

Jon Brakel's rating suggests that he should try out for the all PDGA precision bagging team!  874?  Rec and proud!                

[Bruce Brakel]

Kiralyn wins Most Improved in the Brakel Division.  She went up 26 points.  Kelsey "only" went up 20 points.  Kelsey would have been up 30 if Worlds scores had gotten fixed for the girls.  Kira, I did not calculate for Worlds adjustments, but she probably still would have won Most Improved.

Up 13 points this update. Good to see that Crystal Lake & Streamwood Saturday events got rated!

Eric Doty & Todd Fanning, 1st & 2nd Overall IO Series, Welcome to Advanced .

After looking at the ratings, we are getting more ratings generators playing our Saturday events. It will make it easier to get ratins off these events if players continue to show.  

[SERG]

I can still play the White Division (899)

me too.  

may not last through the next update though.

It took a face to face meeting at Worlds and then some follow-up e-mails. I was fairly confident we'd get it rated but didn't want to make any promises. I'm glad it worked out.

I would have thought that dropping my other Sturgeon round would have bumped me up past 874. Guess I still suck!

hope there's as much confidence about the Saturday Blast.... (I'll need it to offset the odors I produced at IO #3    )

Damon,
    I've already started the discussion process with the PDGA. I included it in my TD Report, talked to Brian, & have e-mailed the ratings committee. I'm hoping they will rate Saturday but like Jon said, I can't make any promises. I will do everything I can to make it happen. We are starting to grow a bigger PDGA playing base around here & many of our Saturday players are almost generators. Keep your fingers crossed.

How many rounds do you need to have in the system before you're a generator?

It's either 8 or 10 but I think it's 10. Bruce knows.  

[mirth]

Sucks. I probably won't be a generator until 2005 then.
