I'm working on setting up an indoor putting league this winter. So far I have two different locations and am working on getting more. I'm thinking of having this on Tuesday nights starting at 6:00pm. Random Draw Dubs Format:

At 6:00pm, all registered players will draw a single playing card. You’ll partner with the person with the matching color and number (i.e. red 6’s, black queens).

If there’s an uneven number of players registered, I may join in, or there might be a lone wolf (Cali). Decisions will be made at the time of event.

Setup:
A putting lane consists of two opposing baskets 30′ apart. Note that it’s inside the “circle” – jump putts are not allowed

Two teams per lane (4 players), one player on each basket (two players on each side).
First to throw will be decided on by disc flip, and will remain constant for the entire match.

Scoring:
Two putters are thrown.
2 in = 3
1 in = 1

First to 11 wins, must win by 2.

If a team wins on a round, both players on the throwing side must complete the round, (finish the side).

Odd Team Bye:
If there is an uneven number of teams, one team will get a bye. With the exception of the first round, bye teams are automatically chosen based on being in the losing half of the bracket (only teams with losing records will be chosen).

The bye team will get a freebie win. It’s not completely free, as the bye win will not count as much as an earned win in the tiebreaker difficulty score.

Turns:
Each turn consists of teams alternating throws from one basket to the other, where their partners will be.

Alternate Throws: Team 1 throws, then Team 2 throws. Repeat.

Then the Team members from the other side throw.

Score Reporting:


Rounds:
There will be 6 rounds to determine the top 2 teams.

Teams will be paired up based on the night’s performance, as the scoring system we use calculates based on wins, losses and difficulty of opponents.

If two teams are tied in record AND tiebreak score (as determined by the difficulty of opponents faced), there will be a last chance qualifier tie breaker.

Last Chance Qualifier Round:
Any teams tied for second will playoff in a “down and back” round.

Each team gets their own lane, so one lane per team. each player from the team will line up on the SAME side of the basket. They putt, their teammate putts, they putt, their teammate putts. Scoring is the same as a round (3pts for 2, 1pt for 1). Then they both shoot back, for a maximum of 12 points.

The team with the most points moves on to the Championship Round. If teams are tied after coming back, go down and back until the tie is broken.

Championship Round:
The top two teams will face off in center court, using the same rules in the round – except the game ends at 21 instead of 11.

There will be two sessions of 16 weeks each. (October 3rd. - January 16th.) (February 6th. - May 22nd.) There will be a final championship event on May 29nd. In order to compete in May 29th. event you must have competed in at least 50% of the 32 weeks events.

We will be using a Swiss style bracket system, which allows us to do a few things:

There is no elimination – even the worst teams play all night
It matches teams closer and closer to skill level all night – most teams get at least one win
It only takes 4-6 rounds to determine who’s the best team by strength of schedule
It works byes into the system, and only gives byes to losers (with the exception of the first round)

We will be using a Swiss style bracket system, which allows us to do a few things:

There is no elimination – even the worst teams play all night
It matches teams closer and closer to skill level all night – most teams get at least one win
It only takes 4-6 rounds to determine who’s the best team by strength of schedule

The cost each week will be $12 ($5 fee - $5 payout - $2 final event)

There will be other prizes each week as well.

Hey guys and gals! Just wanted to give you a heads up as as to why you haven't seen any KotH '17 footage yet. My computer crashed. It had been giving me problems for a long time and finally quit functioning. However, none of the footage was lost. This was really a blessing in disguise. A week ago I purchased a brand new custom laptop. Customized with editing in mind. I now have a laptop that's blazing fast with a ton of memory! The downfall is that I need to learn a new program. The upside is that with this new program, I will be able to do a lot more. Think Jomez and CCDG. Ok, now quit! I won't have their skills for years to come, haha! But I sure will try my best. While waiting for my laptop to arrive, I reached out to Jomez, CCDG and the DG Guy and they all use the same program. The only problem with that? The cost. I don't think I'm ready to go that route yet but they did give me other options. I now have a program that is closely comprable and should produce better videos that what I've put out in the past. I hope you'll continue to hang tight. Just wanted to give you all an update. I'll share the vids on different platforms as well as tag those on the card once they're ready.

Hello fellow disc golfer,

My name is. Lada Rezek, PDGA#54893, I play for the Burnaby DGC, I am average disc golf player with a bad back and funny chin beard. After dropping out of a tournament again, due to my back issues, I decided to heal.

During this healing process I wanted to help my club and become a bigger part of disc golf. It is then I went on an adventure. One I hope the disc golf community will embrace and am sending this message to all disc golf clubs. Well as many as I can.

After 10 months of hard work, abiding by guidelines, dealing with little issues, and a pre-unveil to the Burnaby disc golf club which received great response, I am proud to announce the OFFICIAL RELEASE of DISCGOLFBUDDY.

A Canadian product I hope will grow and help sponsor disc golf around the world. If your disc golf club plays for tags, this is for you. If not, it's time to help your club begin a new and exciting way to play for club tags.

Check for yourself, visit www.discgolfbuddy.ca and enter Burnaby DGC into the club field.

Use the phone app anywhere, the simple easy to use features makes for quick results and easy posting. The best part, if Discgolfbuddy becomes a success, then clubs will have the opportunity to apply for available Sponsorship funds.

Fund club tournaments, or help with course upgrades.

By registering your club, you have an opportunity to apply for available Sponsorship funds.

But only you, the disc golf community can make Discgolfbuddy a complete success and put Canada on the map for disc golf.

To those of you going up to Hilltop tonight for the Tuesday Night P&P league beginning at 7:00 pm, this message is for you. I'm pretty much done editing the footage I shot during Round 4 of the King of the Hill. If you're going to be up there tonight, we'd like to invite you to be there between 6:00 - 6:15 pm to watch the approximately 45 minute video on the big screen. Besides getting the sneak peek, I'm also asking for your help by having all the extra eyes find any mistakes I may have made. Once Rick says it's good to go (and I've made the corrections, if any) I'll go ahead and publish it and post it to YouTube for the world to see. Please join us.

Hello Rick, I am currently running PDGA singles leagues on Saturday's until the end of April. I would like to continue this throughout the summer. In the summer we have a lot of tournament set for the weekend and would have to move the day. I would like to incorporate Hilltop into the rotation of courses played for the Sanctioned leagues. I was thinking Tuesdays throughout the summer for at least a 2 month, maybe 4 month period. I am not sure if you are running leagues this summer and what days. Please contact me and we can work together on what day of the week would work best and fees for the course use. Thanks Brian
