SUMMER BEST SHOT

[CEValkyrie]

Will anyone be able to beat AL G? My $$$ is on him. I'll see you probably May.

Later

I like both the handicap and points changes, especially the points, as I think it will be fairer to everyone in the long run.



One question regarding handicaps & midwest - Lets say an Am gets bumped up to the higher pool to satisfy pairing requirements or whatever... Is the player still considered to be AM or lower for handicap purposes, or does that player assume Advanced status for the round?

[mirth]

Excellent!



Only 2 1/2 hours until the start of Best Shot!!!! :D

[mirth]

Van Master hitting it right on the nose!



How many do you think we'll have next week?

To get your password back, send me an email to mirth@rafansrule.org with what you want your password to be. I can go into the account database & change it for you... Apparently the 'Lost my Password' function is broken in this version of UltraBoard.... :(





On the subject of Jojo I think his intentions are to move up to Advanced permanently, although I don't know when that will be or if this is still true.

[mirth]

I wonder what place I finished in.... I keep hoping they'll put the final standings online, but everytime I go to the page nothing's changed.

Hey, whomever reads this before leagues today:



I'm at a class in Arlington Heights which should get me out by 4:30 at the latest.... If leages start a little after 5:30 I should be able to make it no problem, but just be aware that I am coming and the only thing that would keep me from being there would be some kind of emergency at home or whatnot.

In the unlikely event that something like that happens, I'd let Al or Myk know, as they both have Nextels & I have their numbers.

[mirth]

I am up in the Dells, and will also not be coming.... :'(



This is four consecutive weeks I haven't been at league, I hope you guys still like me...

[mirth]

Oh yeah... look at that.



Uh, I guess I don't really care. Are there any days the soccer players aren't scheduled to be at the park?

[mirth]

/drool.....



can't wait to get out of here and into the beautiful outdoors!



In fact, I think I'll leave now! :D

[mirth]

Well, I've enjoyed all the dry days this summer that we have had for leagues. Looks like we go out like a lion.....

[mirth]

Congrats go out to Al G. for sweeping 4 straight best shot leagues!



...guess we need to start breaking fingers on your right hand now if we want a chance of taking the driver's seat back.... ;-)

Everyone should know that this was debated at length by Bill, Brett, Jim, Adrian, and others. Al wasn't there, but it would be good to get his input, as well as others.  I think this system will work fine and is a little more fair than last year's.

OK, here are the proposed handicap changes from Bill. We should get 'em in place by Thursday, so if anyone has opinions, now is the time to voice them!

Good with me.....

[jim]

I think I soiled myself when I saw so many people showing up!  How cool!  It seemed like it went smoothly, without any problems.  Thanks to Bill and Paul for helping organize the divisional pools!

Also, I think Bill's suggestion is fair.

[jim]

These guys won't need help for long! There was more good playing than bad last night. Some newer folks showed up and threw much better than I expected. But I think my game could use a few lessons....

THANKS to EVERYONE who came out to throw!

[jim]

Hey-Hey!  Finally!  Myk D. got an Ace on the newly moved 19th Hole (alternate 1)!  175-ft and it went in blazing!  This is the first official Ace in nearly 50 weeks of league play!  Myk cashed in for $38!  Congrats!

Now the curse is broken, the veil is lifted, the clouds have dispersed! The way is paved for many more aces at Bevier!

[jim]

Shawn, you are so modest. He won send place in the Advanced Division at Standing Rocks!  Woohoo! We can start Best Shot at 5:45 next week, according to my almanac. I'll post it tomorrow. What were your winnings, buddy?

[jim]

Nobody in Arlington Heights has any class . . . . .
