Thanks for running the Club invite Jim. I haven't been to one in a few years and I got a chance to see and throw with some club members I haven't seen in a long time. Lots of fun! I thought the award presentation at the players meeting for Brett was very cool, and well deserved. He has done so much for DISContinuum DGC and Illinois disc golf over the years. Thanks Brett!

I don't think the round ratings will be too accurate until the highest rated player at the event gets his name spelled correctly in the results.

Since I could not upload corrections to the pdga.com website (only discgolfscene.com), I emailed all changes to the PDGA and am waiting for them to fix the results page.
THANKS again to all players and sponsors for making this a fun day!

Changes made, upload complete, check mailed to PDGA.
THANKS for the help, Mike!

After some technical difficulties (yes, really), the PDGA has corrected the issues they had and updated their website.
The trophy next to our event on their August Events page is now gold.

Below is an excerpt from an email I received today from Andrew at PDGA headquarters:

-------------
"So, I went into the database and reversed the two event's status - marking 17967 as "Cancelled" and marking 17646 as "Sanctioned".  I saved both records and then re-uploaded the tournament table to the website.  Magically the DISContinuum event now displays online as "Official Results" and the player's profile pages show the event, and their ratings detail also shows the rounds from the event as being included in their rating.  Their aggregate player rating didn't change because those rounds were already included in that calculation, the rounds just weren't displayed.

The official results are now under the 17646 event ID here: http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/17646

Right now both events show on the schedule (one Silver cup, one Gold cup) but as the cache catches up, the Silver Cup one will disappear.

So, needless to say, this is a new one on me.  I will talk to the database guys to see how it happened and see what can be done to make sure it doesn't happen again.   

Thanks,

Andrew

Hopefully, that explains some things and puts everyone's mind at ease about the way myself and the club handled things. We submitted everything on time and with all initial errors corrected. Thanks for your patience, everyone. And thanks to Mike Krupica for his help with this entire process.
