Hello fellow disc golfers. This is the offical announcement of my traveling handicap team league.
The way it works:
You will find 5 people to form a team. These can be your buddies or you can think about stragety and try to aquire a veriety of skill levels. Each team will be matched up aginst one other team each sunday. So you wont be worrying about any other team. Within those two teams....Each player will get mactched up individually aginst a player from the opposeing team.
The Player handicap:
Each player will have an individual handicap between 1 and 6. A pro would be rated a 6, where as a beginer would be given a rating of 1. This handicap can, and probably will change throughout the season. The numbers 1-6 were chosen beacuse "6" is deviseable by 18 holes. (This will make more sence in a moment)
How the individual matchup will work:
Example 1: If you are a pro (6) And playing aginst a (3) then you would have to beat your opponet by the difference in rank (3 strokes) per 6 holes. In other words you have to beat your opponet by 9 total strokes or more to win the round. If you only beat them by 2 strokes then you would loose the match.
Example 2: If you are ranked a (2) and you get matched up aginst a (4) then you automatically start with a 6 stroke lead (2 strokes per 6 holes) beacuse you are the lesser skilled player. If at the end of the round you have lost the raw matchup by 5 strokes or less (or if you win the raw matchup) Then you have won your match!!!
How your team wins the matchup:
This is very simple. If 3 or more of your 5 players win theyre match-up then the team wins the match. If you have a player that could not show up. Then you are at a serious disadvantage. No suger coating there. If the teams are uneven then one player from the opposeing team will play aginst the average of all others at they're same skill level for that day.
Individual Points score:
Everybody always wants to bitch about sandbagging during handicap events. This how i am going to attempt to solve it. When you win a matchup you want to try and win by the largest possible margin beacuse every stroke you win by awards you a point twards you individual score. These points will be kept track of throughout the entire league and at the end of the season the winning teams...as well as the winning individuals will be getting paid out. So go ahead and sand bag if you want but you will either be screwing your team or your personal score.
Cost....Time....Breakdown:
The cost for this league will be 30$ per person 150$ per team. I know that these numbers seem like alot but this week will be approx 10 weeks long. That breaks down to 3$ per week. Thats cheep!!!!!!!!!!!
20$ of this Entry will be given right back to the team payouts at the end of the season.
9$ will be going twards the individual payouts.
1$ will be taken for whatever the people want...CTPs, dougnuts, Coffee, Whatever. It will be voted on at the first event.
This league will take place at a different course every week. And it will be at noon. So you can still have family time in the mourning, go to church, play dorcs, Do whatever you do. And still make it to league. This will only be one round each sunday.
The courses...tenativly...Are:
1.Cascade
2.Camp Taloali
