Ratings Update 5/19/09

[pickax]

Bruce, I figure you'll stay Advanced, you haven't played enough rounds in Illinois this year to weigh down your rating.

I predict that I will be 849-851 after the update. As much as I hate seeing my rating go down, I wouldn't mind playing MA4 for a few tournaments.

[tacimala]

I think I'll go up to about 965 temporarily because of the Am Nats rounds, but then will take a step back after the next update due to the lack of play since then/in the near future. Looks like I may be moving disc golf from an "almost every weekend tournament" activity to "hopefully I can get one or two days of disc golf per month" activity. Worlds will be fun either way though!

[Bruce Brakel]

If you like the things you're doing instead more than playing disc golf, there's nothing wrong with that.  If you're working a job you hate instead of playing a game you love, different story. 

[Bruce Brakel]

new ratings are up. 

[Bruce Brakel]

Kiralyn is +11
Madisen +5
Kelsey +3

Sure, but how many holes have any of them birdied driving with a Zephyr, eh? 

[pickax]

I didn't drop enough. 853.

[duain]

well i met my goal and went up 13 points to be over 900. my new rating is 901 

[roman]

My spectacular performance at Lippold came back to haunt me. I'm back down to 896. Technically I can play Rec again. Not that I will.

[pickax]

I keep claiming that MA3 (and/or MA4) should be called inconsistent or erratic. I have 115 points between my best round and my worst round that counts. Anyone else have that large of a spread?

[can't putt]

115 here also.  Best of 953, worst of 838.  Worst that does not count is another 47 below that. 

[Bruce Brakel]

Before the latest update I was closer to 150 points. 

[roman]

139 here. Working on raising that without touching the bottom

[pdga#7648]

+6 here, wanting that 950 SO BAD 

[Chainmeister]

98 pts.  894/ 796 on succesive rounds on the same day. Otherwise, the range has been remarkably narrow

[ChrisPUTTS]

not on this ratings period, but within a couple months of each other best round is 929, worst is 805.... yikes thats 124 pts.

[tacimala]

I've had 115 difference in a 2 round tournament!

Right now my high/low is 1023/906 so right around that 115 mark. Went up 1 to 961, but would have gone up more had Am Nats from 2008 fallen off the ratings. Going to push hard to shoot well at Worlds and MI State Championships to go up again in September.

It's reassuring to me that many of you suffer extreme ups and downs like I do.

[Tom McManus]

My swing is 165 and an unnamed club member has a 250 point swing.

[whitechocolate]

I thought the 250 was me until I pulled up my info.  I only have a 159 point swing with my bottom round just being dropped.  finally hit some relief.  up 40 points!  Still novice for life though.

It's reassuring to me that many of you suffer extreme ups and downs like I do.

It seems to go hand in hand with the high i.q. for a lot of people.  Fish oil can get you through the valleys.  If it isn't enough, there's no shame in seeing your doc and getting some help from prescription medication.

Wait.  Were you talking about ratings?
