Please Lend A Hand and Roundbrand Rankings 11/17/08

I am going to throw this out there and hope you can help out.  Dave Cameron of USS Mariner is up for a $10,000 College Scholarship.  Dave writes about the Mariners and also baseball in general at Fangraphs.  He is one of the most knowledgeable people I know on the topic of baseball and he has shaped my understanding of the game greatly.  He is in a fierce battle for this scholarship which is determined by an online poll found here.

If you are so inclined it would be awesome if you would vote for him.  We all know how much that amount will help Dave and his new bride financially as he works on his degree in Economics.  Feel free to pass this on to anyone who also may be willing to throw a vote his way.

Now some official Roundbrand business. Very little movement in this weeks Rankings as only Dean jumped up past Richard.  I am hoping we can get back to a more regular schedule soon.  Weather looks good, so if you can join us come on out to Sea-Tac tomorrow, Tuesday night, at 6:30PM for one of our Disc Golf in the Dark games.

Rankings are below the fold.

Roundbrand Rankings Final for Year 2007-08

With the end of October we have concluded our first year of Roundbrand play.  Jonathan comes out the clear champion.  (Full Final leaderboard is below the fold.)  Congratulations go to Jonathan for not only a very consistent year, but at times spectacular.  He went under par more than any other player and won game after game.  We can only hope to see Jonathan continue to improve this year and become a birdie machine.

Next week you will all notice a change in some scores as the Rankings from here forward will only include the past 12 months.  This should have a dramatic effect on players who only joined us in the past few months.  Keep an eye out for that as we move into a new year of play.

Also, as I mentioned recently we will be trying to play more games of singles this year.  With that I would like input on whether we should start using handicaps with our scoring.

Here is the Final Leaderboard!

So there will be a Rankings post on Saturday as we will be wrapping up the first calendar year of Roundbrand play with the end of October.  There will also be some changes as we move forward to get a little more variety in our games that I will discuss more later this week.

As for now, let’s do another game in the dark over at Sea-Tac.  Tee time is 6:30PM again and make sure you have your LED light discs.  Just a reminder for some people, Jason M, it is very hard to see your LED light disc when the light is turned off.

Here are the latest Rankings.

Guess what Roundbrand Regulars?  Just 12 days left in the first year of Roundbrand play.  It would appear that Jonathan has the championship wrapped up, but we may have some battles for other positions.  This week’s Leaderboard is below the fold.

I am planning on being at Sea-Tac tomorrow night at 6:30PM for a round of night Disc Golf.  Bring your LED Disc if you have one and let’s enjoy what is supposed to be the one clear night this week.

One other note of interest.  Jonathan has thrown some new photos up on his Folfing page at Flickr.  Check it out!

This is post #2 of three today.  Make sure you check out the recap below this one.

Here are the updated Rankings a few days late.  Eric made the move of the week by passing up Vince.  John made a big move up in the Part-Timers.  Ethan solidified his new hold on 4th overall and could very well give Weaver a run for 3rd if he keeps playing the way he has lately.

Here is the new Leaderboard.

This is the final Rankings for September.  Only one more month to go before we reach a full year of competitive Roundbrand play.  You will notice that the six people who participated in yesterday’s Tournament received nice jumps up in their scores.  Ethan and Richard both made big moves.  I hope to recap our day either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Here is the Leaderboard.

The First Ever Roundbrand Day of Tournament Disc Golf

Posted on by

One week from today, Sunday the 28th of September, we will be playing three seperate Rounds of Disc Golf at Lakewood.  There will be money changing hands and Ranking points to be won.  If you want to pump up your Ranking you will want to get in on one or more of these Rounds.

Who can participate?  If you see your name anywhere on the Roundbrand Leaderboard below this post you are invited.  If you are a Regular you can invite a new player to join also.  Beyond that we would like to keep this to people who have been playing with us for the past year.

You said three Rounds?  Yes, the first is a singles 9-Hole Acepot. The second is a 9-Hole team round of best disc with 3 players per team.  The final round will be an 18-Hole Singles Round.

Do I have to play all three rounds?  No you do not.  You can play one, two or three of the events.  Play as much or as little as you want.

What does each Round cost and how do they pay out?  Buy-in is $5 of which $1 goes to administrative cost and the rest goes to the prize pot.  On the Acepot the entire pot goes to anyone to sink an ace.  If we get no ace we will award money back to 3rd and cash awards to 2nd and 1st in a 1:2 ratio based on total entry money.  If two players get an ace they split the pot.  Payout is the same for the 18 hole singles round based solely on finish.  For the doubles round 3rd place gets $1 back from their entry, 2nd place gets their money back and 1st gets the rest of the pot.

How will this affect my ranking?  Normal rounds score at 4pts for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, 2pts for 3rd and 1 pt for any finsh below that.  The Acepot Round will score 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5 and 1.  The Triples Round will score 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5 and 1.  The 18 Hole Singles Round will score 6, 5.5, 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5 and 1.

What time will each round start?  The Acepot start at 11am.  The Triples round will start between 12:30pm and 1pm depending on how quickly the Acepot goes.  The final round will then start around 3pm while allowing for a food break between games.

Let me know if you have any questions and let’s get as many players out there as possible.

Roundbrand Rankings – 9/21/08

Big news in this week’s Rankings.  Eric has played enough to join the Regulars.  Hopefully we can add someone else to the crew here in the near future.

Remember folks, we play year round here at Roundbrand.  Playing in rain and wind is a part of living in Seattle and we don’t let it stop us.

One last reminder that Night Disc Golf in the dark is coming soon.  Head down to Mando’s in Auburn and either get an LED Disc or find an LED light that you can place on the bottom of your disc.  If you go the latter route I suggest placing it on an Innova Champion Disc so the light can shine through the plastic.  Kara, Jason M and I all have the Blackjax LED Discs and I think you will find varied flight patterns from disc to disc.  Jason’s seems to be very stable while mine is understable.  I’m excited to give this a try.  Next dry evening I see coming up we may go for a round over at Sea-Tac.

Here is the Leaderboard.
