I'm making cards right now that will work either way. I like Justin's idea for the money and 5 o'clock registration 5:30 tee off. So that's $2 to play, $1 ace pot and four 50 cent ctp's. $5 total. Sound alright?

I was hoping to make it tonight, but with school starting I'm already swamped with homework. Let me know how it goes. Also remember that the ace race is coming up. Let's push for that 150 players!

For Kyle's Idea, a custom score card, split in half for each players drives could work. Maybe color coded. Also, we could make opposing teams keep score for eachother to keep em honest.

Why don't we just have some normal tag rounds for bragging rights. isn't that why we have tags? I think we should have a tag league. We all payed 15 or 20 bucks for tags and the name nudga but nothing really happens with it. Or howbout a nudga fundraiser tourny for just tags and a few bucks for the club. Plus you might get more ppl to join nudga.

Where the heck is Sylvester when ya need him.....he'll put dubs back on the map...haha, J/K......I'm Down for whatever NUDGA!!

I think we oughta try Kyle's idea for awhile (it sounds a little complicated, but we can probably come up with a system to track the 9-drive thing). Stu, I think we've tried every possible variation of A-player red and B-player yellow over the years and, while some of them are okay, it's never quite the level playing field everybody seems to want. Random is good IMHO. Anybody up for 530 dubs tomorrow? I'm finally off on Tuesdays and, if my morning goes well (ahem), I'll be wanting to play.

But you might have something there too, kyle...

Yeah, that's how it was when I left. With a-red, b-yellow, and women having the option to shoot the blues, if they so desired. And in turn completely random pairings. That seemed to be popular. There were at least 25-30 people a week if memory serves...
Stu Jensen August 28, 2012 at 7:05am
Did we try having A shoot reds and B yellow?

Sounds like pretty good ideas, especially the money stuff.
As long as we're throwing ideas out I've been thinking about this for a while now. What do you think of a totally random draw with no divisions. The hitch being that each team HAS to take 9 drives from each player with a one stroke penalty for every time you don't. We would end up with some "unfair" pairings sometimes but I think that things would even out a little by doing it this way and it would introduce a ...

I meant to say "I would NOT want to force a beginner to play the long pads."

Here is a suggestion for a sulution...just a suggestion.
We ask each player to register for only $2. All of that $2 dollars goes to payout. This way we are playing competitively for a prize, even if its a small payout (pay out is not the priority here, right?)
Then we provide some options, a $1 ace pot that will accumulate, and then four 50cent cpts. if we have 10 players buy ito the ctps, then one ctp will pay out 5 bucks, not bad.
So now we are up to $5 dollars for the whole package, but ...

As far as starting time goes, I don't think there's really a solution. As it is now it starts too late for some and too early for others.

Just to put my two cents in, I'm not sure that money is the big problem. Not entirely, anyway. I kinda hate to bring it up since it always seems to cause an argument but I think one of the big problems is playing the red tees or whatever tees someone decides to make up that day. I think most people are fine with kicking down ten bucks if they honestly think they have a chance to contribute to the team's score. But playing reds pretty much takes the lesser skilled/shorter thrower out of ... more

Cost too much. Starts too late.

I agree with both of ya, dubs has drifted into something else. It saddens me to hear about club problems. I miss the days when I was able to be a big part of doubles, but the money thing is what drove me away from it. I like Justin's idea with free play and ctp's and or ace pot option. I was out to the course today and was sickened at the sight of 7's basket just about completely uprooted. Kent and I are going to put an alternate sleeve in to the left and deeper and then we can re ... more

No Lex. I did't take any offence. Your absolutely right about tournament costs, and Dubs shouldn't drain anyones pockets. Its important to speak your mind brother, thats how things have always been in this club. I think, and this is my opinion, we should just make dubs free to play for a while. Maybe have some options to buy into, ace pot, ctps?
Justin H August 29, 2012 at 2:30am
I'll be there!
