2006 IOS #1 @ Kenosha-UW Parkside

My online registration for Sunday Intermediate has been sent.

Just noticed that we've got a 942 rated player playing Intermediate. I checked out the Bowling Green thread, & I guess the rule is that the player gets a 2 week extension on their old rating if they pre-registered. I guess we'll all get to see how we stack up against an Advanced player. (even if the rating was only from 1 tournament)

That guy also won the River Cities Rumble.  Only one round, rated 973.

I have updated the PDGA Tour page. 102 players.

He is also playing advanced on Saturday.

It's all good. I plan on playing up a few times this year as long as my game isn't totally crap anyhow.

Bring it on!

[Bruce Brakel]

It is the rule this year.   Maybe they will think up a better rule for next year.

i noticed kenny g is signed up for the rec division - i would evaluate how much of a rec player he is before he crushes the competition

[Bruce Brakel]

With the PDGA.com working like government-employed janitors, it's kind of hard to evaluate anything.  [Please don't take offense if you are a hard-working government janitor.  I was talking about myself circa 1978-1982.]  Last year we paid attention to the non-members at the top of rec.  We discussed that if anyone was bagging we could always give them a PDGA membership as part of their payout.  No one was actually bagging, though.

When a person registers as Rec, wins Rec, and then beats the best score in Int. as well.

not hard when you're the only person to have posted from that IP address in the last year...

(sorry about the edits to your post, I ment to quote & hit modify instead. I think I got your words back right....)

I wouldn't call Kenny a bagger.  I think he's a good guy and a pretty good player. Also, I really was not looking for any conflict, yet, I found...I looked at the last three IOS tournaments, Fairfield, Waukegan and Streamwood.  Kenny is not a PDGA member and has no rating.  His rounds, compared to rated players were:
Fairfield         921    911
Waukegan     883    875
Streamwood   891    918

His average for these three would be:   899.83

I didn't bother to look further back.

He would be a pretty solid intermediate and is pretty consistent.  There is not a lot of variation.  He had no round below 875 which is the rec/int border.  Of the registered int players for this year's IOS#1 he would be 5th of 17 in rating.  Of the registgered rec players he is currently Numbah #1.  

Can I enter the Brass side bet pool and put my money on Kenny?

[Mike S]

After the new ratings come out, mine should allow me to play in the Junior Girls division without anyone calling me a bagger.

good research dave, maybe the club can take a dollar out of the rec players course fee, or one of those other  fees that adds up to 13 dollars to buy kenny a pdga membership, but until then i think he can play where he wants, just because there isnt really a rule forbidding it

[Bruce Brakel]

You can only bet on yourself in the brass sidebet game.  

The club officers discussed this issue in a general way a lot last year but never needed to do anything.  Last year's biggest rec bagger [cough=nick] Cough! [/cough] never would have had a PDGA rating over 875.  We'll probably discuss it some more.  

[I'm an officer of the other club that helps put on these events.]

Now why in the world would I want to do that.  It would be like betting on the Cubs.  I'm not good but  I'm not stupid.

[Jon Brakel]

The non-member winner of Rec is going to win himself a new PDGA membership as part of his winnings! 

[badger1190]

thats good news
