Official Oz Tour Points Update

[Schoen-hopper]

I think the top third from each division plus the top pro and am from each region plus the top pro and am at the last event make it in. 2 from each region makes 10 though, not 12?

[smitty]

We're doing match play this year? Can someone give me the lowdown on the details, or direct me to a link.

Do you mean how match play works?

I know that you guys do it in Hays at the little course.

So I will guess that you mean how do you qualify.

We are going to take the top 1/3 in each division. This is based on points. We are also taking the top person from each region if they are not in already. That way every region has the chance to have a person in the finals.

We are also going to let 2 more people in on the last chance qualifier. We are going to take the top overall KDGA Open and Am finisher and let them play. This could be a person who signs-up that day, or a person who has been a member and not earned enough points.

There will be a payout based on finish in each divison.

We will then take the overall champs of each division and let them duke it out in a "super challenge".

Let me know if this helps out.

How does match play work?

[smitty]

Do you mean how match play works?

Yeah.

Match play is pretty simple.

You and whoever you are playing will go out on the course. You are not keeping total score, you are trying to win a hole.

If you 2 a hole, and I 3 it. You win the hole. You are now up 1-0

We play hole 2, and I beat you on this one. We are now all square (tied).

We play hole 3 and both get a 3. We are still all square.

We play hole 4 and you beat me. You are up 1.

We play hole 5 and you beat me again. You are up 2.

As soon as someone is up more then the number of holes that are left, that match is over.

Does that help?

[DiscGolfKid]

Yeah it helps.

[Schoen-hopper]

That does help, but a question... If the top not previously qualified player from each region gets in and there are 5 regions, how come there are 12 players in blue above? Is it the top pro and am from each region? That would make 10.

[smitty]

Some regions don't have a player in a division. Region 5 for example has no Open players. If they did, and that person was in last place in Open, they would get in to the final.

[Schoen-hopper]

So there would be 2 players from each region, with only 1 from region 5. That would make 9 regional winning players, right?

In blue above, I'm counting 4 players from region 1, 3 from 2, 2 from 3, 1 from 4, and 2 from region 5. That makes 12.

[smitty]

Mike I am not following you????

The top 1/3 of each division gets in. Open, Master, Advanced, AmII, Women. If they are all from the same reason, it doesn't matter. Then each region also gets 1 free spot in each division. So if the top 1/3 are all from region 2. Regions 1, 3, 4, 5 would all get an at large birth.

[Schoen-hopper]

The top 1/3 of each division gets in. Then each region also gets 1 free spot in each division.

That was the part I didn't get. I thought only the top pro and am from each region got in. Potentially, it would be possible to send 30 members from regional winners alone. If we had 9 in each division, 100% of the players could make it into the finals. All kidding aside, this does encourage growth in other areas of the state.

[smitty]

this does encourage growth in other areas of the state.

That was kind of the reason we are doing the finals this way.

[Schoen-hopper]

Something else I realize that I didn't realize was that the regions only get to add players from their divisions if they didn't previously have any in the top third. The player list can actually change quite a bit with the interpretation. As long as I don't feel confused, I am ok , I think....

Mike-

It looks like Austin was the only person that played the Sunflower Games. He will need to get 10 bonus points.

[Schoen-hopper]

I'm got a points update coming as soon as I can get Olathe scores.
