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 mig ... more

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

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.

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.

Left a little orange trilogy challenge marshal behind after our post Saturday party round. Someone convinced me to try to throw it off 18 and it headed more toward the practice basket. No name or number but I believe I put a big G on the back. Reward!
