2007 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES Point Standings

[CEValkyrie]

Points documents will be attached to this thread after every event.


SERIES POINTS
This series is set up for fun and competition. Overall champions win a trophy and bragging rights. If you play any day of the 2007 Illinois Open Series you are automatically entered into the series. It costs no extra fee to enter the series. There will be no deductions from tournament payouts to pay for overall series champion trophies.

Points only count in the division in which they are earned. For example, if Bruce plays Advanced at the first event and receives 12 points then plays advanced masters at the next event and earns 12 points, he does not have a total of 24 points. He would have 12 points in advanced and 12 points in advanced masters.

Participants will be awarded one point for each tournament entered and one point for each player they beat in their division.

A player who DNFs (Does Not Finish), will receive 0 (zero) points for that tournament.

Overall points will be calculated from best 4 of 6 events.

Any ties for first place at the end of the series will result in a sudden death playoff at the Fairfield Fairwell. A player who is tied for first but is not present automatically loses the playoff.

He would have 12 points in advanced and 12 points in advanced masters.

If Bruce only earns 12 points in Advanced at the first one, he probably will drop back to Advanced Master for the second one!     I sucked today.  Kimball Pines is a brutal course if you're off the fairway.  I was first loser to a 962 rated player and tied another 942 rated player.

Points are attached after IOS #1. Ties for positions are being treated a little different this year.

Thanks Tyler!

Are Recreational and AM IV going to be grouped together as one division for the series, or should they have been split apart?

[Bruce Brakel]

They should be split apart.

[pickax]

Hmmm. Did anyone update the series points after Lombard?

[tjdub42]

I sent them to Brett shortly after Jon posted the results.

[CEValkyrie]

Sorry, I thought I had posted them. Now attached.

[pickax]

The AM3 and AM4 still need to be split apart somehow.

Ok I see the separate tab. I guess Its a work in progress as there are a bunch listed in the AMIV tab that were not playing AMIV.

[Jon Brakel]

Here is the list. I e-mailed it to Tyler also. Bruce, if I play on Sunday you will need to teach Mike (the IOS Information Officer (we couldn't afford to pay him so I gave him a title)) how to capture this info to send to Tyler.

[Bruce Brakel]

I don't know if I can teach him how to capture any information but I can show him how to tell the Am IVs from the Am IIIs by looking at the leaderboard, providing you and Becky are black cornering their cards.

black cornered cards are the cards the player that got in on the preregistration price. AM IV are marked AM IV on the left side of the card.

[stpitner]

I see Rory Holms marked as AM IV for IOS #2 but not for IOS #1, is this correct?  I thought that Rory was AM IV for the first IOS.

[pickax]

There were a handful of AMIV eligible players that did not get into AMIV at IOS1. I'm fairly sure there were only two cards worth of AMIV at IOS1.

Jon, thanks for pulling the info. I'll make sure I note the AMIV's on Sunday to feed to Tyler. Someone else will have to do it at Rockford as I can't make it this year  (my sister's getting married that weekend).

That someone HAS to be Bruce whether he likes it or not. This is how our conversation about AMIV went when he proposed last year or during the winter. Bruce: "Blah blah blah AMIV blah blah blah Rec blah blah side bet blah pdga blah blah." To which I responded: "Does this mean any more work for me?" Bruce: "None." Jon: "OK, go for it!"

Anyway, I'm only half kidding...if I'm the one that needs to get this to Tyler then I will. But it is Bruce's day so he should really be getting this info together.

[tacimala]

Were points ever added for IOS 3? No big deal either way as it's about to change for IOS #4 but I can't be there this weekend so I was hoping to see where I was at after 3.
