Mike Krupicka is the official scorekeeper for this event.  Here is the way the event will be scored:

Challenge Scoring

A team will get points equal to the place that their players finish
(even if tied). Ties will consume places (ie. if there is a two way
tie for 1st, the next place finisher is 3rd). Only the top N players
will count for their team score. The next 3 finishing players on a
team will consume finishing places (i.e. bump down the place finish
for other players), but not count towards the team score. If a team
has an insufficient number of players, they will be awarded points
for a last place finish for those missing players.

Each round will be scored independently.

Since we have two divisions, the scores for each division will be
tallied separately and then combined. Since we want the results of
the upper division to have a larger affect on the outcome. The
totals for each division will be multiplied by a normalization
factor. This normalization factor is determined based on the number
of players counting and will be set so that the upper division
compared to the lower division is around a 5:4 ratio. This is along
the lines of the point factor difference used by the PDGA.

There is a flyer attached in the previous post. There will be a 50/50, an ace fund, and some club CTPs. This is a free event and a get together to promote disc golf in Northern Illinois.

Greetings,

I sent an e-mail to pre-register the GRABM team for the club challenge for this coming weekend.  I haven't received conformation yet so I was wondering if we were in.  Leave a message on our website at grabmdiscgolf.com or e-mail me at silvertip64@gmail.com if there are any problems.  Thank you.                                                                                           

Thanks for the conformation & invite.  I have a roster but we need a couple of verifications before we submit it.  I have added the information you requested to the roster (PDGA #'s, player ratings, etc.) to save you time.  You'll have it within 2 days.

                                                                                                                                       Barry Maxwell
                                                                                                                                          GRABM TD

Barry, please copy me with your roster when you submit it.

[Dan Michler]

Should we limit the number of players per team?

[JaSoN G.]

I see alot of players with out PDGA #'s.  Do they play upper level?  It says Mike K has the final decision but with out Mike knowing how every player plays how can he make a decision?  It seems to me that it would be a real tough decision since there are players from multiple clubs and alot of new faces....

[pickax]

Most of the non-member players are from FVM, fortunately there are a lot of posted rounds for these players. Looking at their tag rounds, they are definitely lower division. Of the original four clubs, there is only one player that I don't have a rating for. I haven't seen GRABM's roster yet.

[bearmax]

We've had some late changes on our GRABM roster so it will be Friday before I get it to you.  I have taken the time to look up player ratings & last round ratings for those not PDGA current to save you some work. 

[bearmax]

I have e-mailed the GRABM roster to Tom & sent Mike a copy as a personal message.  Sorry for the delay, we had to scramble.
