Abilene lets make this a team event.

[smitty]

If you are on the Salina team, and they win it is in Salina. If you get a course in Goodland, and you play for that team, well then it is in Goodland.

[Sandman]

Your not understanding dude. There will be a total of 3 teams maybe 4 maybe 2 and probably a team with " a little bit of everybody" on it. You think this is legit??? This was a bad idea..........

[smitty]

What part is a bad idea?

The entire team thing, having mixed teams or the winning team getting to host the final banquet?

I think it is going to be fun.

[Schoen-hopper]

Sounds like a lot is on the line here. What is the cut-off age for junior? What declares am or pro status? We have a few players that play pro in KDGA events and am in PDGA events. It does sound like fun, but what if some key players can't make it or what if Goodland wins the event for next year? Wouldn't that have a negative effect on our attendance for all of next year? Would the schedule be upset if some team other than Wichita or Salina won, or would the other town just schedule an extra event? What if 3 guys from Hays play on a 5 man (total) team from Salina? Who gets to host? Just a few questions we should clarify if this is for real.

I think the point system you mentioned was good with perhaps one small amendment. Giving teams that tie the lower of the 2 places that they are tying for, for example 1st and 2nd would both get first would be slightly unfair to the rest of the competition because they are both earning half a point extra for free. A solution would be either determining some resolution to who gets what place (as in the total points tie scenario) or by giving the tying teams the "average" of the places rather than the "lowest" of the tying places. 1st and 2nd place tie would both earn 1.5 points for both teams. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th would all earn 3 points, ect. That way the numbers add up to the correct totals in the end and no one gets free points.

[cottenokie]

Damn, you make my eye hurt

[smitty]

Mike I like you idea about ties. That is what we will do.

The schedule wouldn't be that big of a deal.

A team would need to say what town they were rep. before the start of the event.

[Sandman]

Nevermind dude......... your right.

[smitty]

Nevermind dude......... your right.

[iguardus]

Will anyone get to play even if you dont have a team. I would rather play singles if possible, and who is gonna run the Manhattan tourney.

[smitty]

You don't have to be part of a team.

Mace is running Manhattan, with the help of a local person who is trying to start a club.

[puttslut]

so lemme get this straight. the players don't have to be from the town they are representing and pros can play as ams correct?

sounds pretty legit to me!

[smitty]

Pros shouldn't play as Ams, but like any tourney it is their call in the end. Some towns may not have enough people to field a full team, so they can borrow a player from another town if needed.

If we could get a big enough crew from Winfield to go, we may be able to field 2 teams.

Pro/Open
Smitty
Harv
Jon
Shan
Rich
Bart
Terry B

Ams

Dustin
Larry
Big Kev
Cliff
Bowlby
Cody
Nick
Chris T.
Joel
Monster D
Jon Holmes

Women/Jr.
Wife
Cal

You only need 2 OPEN and Am players. The third person is a "pusher".

Who all is going? Lets get it figured out.

[Sandman]

so lemme get this straight. the players don't have to be from the town they are representing and pros can play as ams correct?

sounds pretty legit to me!

ME TOO!!!

If needed huh? I hear your "surprise person" may not be from Winfield, even though you listed a ton of Open people from Winfield. Seems like you would not "need" to get a person from another town... or state

Just pokin fun.. I really don't care where you get your teammates from.. just razzin ya a little for your team choice

[smitty]

The person you are talking about plays as much Winfield golf as you do.
