Ok sorry for the delay - between work travel and a crazy German flu strain that took me out for another week I'm a bit behind but here are some official stats and our Winter Champion title award.
14 week season
28 possible Counted Rounds
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
5 leagues
69 Total # of Players
825 Total Rounds Played
13,601 Total Points awarded
I like to look at how many rounds players actually played and what it takes to make it into the top spots. This kind of cuts to the chase of what the biggest factor was to making it to the top as the top ten by rounds is the top ten platyers overall. If players play more than one league or can manage to get three rounds in a single week then it really starts to shake things up but that only happened once this winter season by Steve Jones, so currently the key is to play more rounds than anyone else.
Kudos to the top three players who managed to get in 20 or more rounds of the max 28 rounds during the 14 week season.

Now another great metric to look at is the points per round average to try and identify the sleepers who if they could just get a few more rounds in at their current pt/round Avg they would be up near the top - but you just never know unless they actually play the rounds.....
so in the top ten the average points per round average is between 22.8 & 40.69 pts per round. If I order the players who have at least six rounds by their point per round average here are the top players who did not make the top ten but could have if they had just a few more rounds in this season....
Top 20+ by Pts/Round Average with 3 or more rounds.

28 Robbie Wheeling 84 5 16.8
3 Ira Burgess 331 20 16.55
Now the highest points per round average was 28.33333333 pts /round by Chris "The Lip" Lippert in 27th place with 3 rounds.
So it shows that you have to get out and try to get as many rounds as possible in, two rounds per week in if you really want a chance to be in the top spots.
What else helps. Wins, Aces and Double Points
Ok let's take a quick look at what it takes to make it in the top Ten of 69 players during the Oregon Winter - First lets look at the average of the key stats of the top ten players:
Average stats for top ten players
284.7 Points
15.8 # of Rounds 1.1 Avg Rounds / week
15.7 # of Rounds Counted 1.1 Avg Rounds / week
17.790 Average Points per Rounds
17.876 Average Points per Counted rounds
4.2 Wins Max 15 wins, Min 0
0.2 Aces Only 2 playesr had aces
0.4 HLW Only 3 players had Double Points
487 Max points
172 Min points
315 Point Spread from 10th to 1st
Ok so the overall factor was # of rounds played. With the top three over 20 rounds each. Then the factor comes down to Wins and Aces. Double Points was not really a factor in the winter but if it had come down to a close call it could have made a difference. I'll send you some of our Michigan Snow and cold ;-) Rick Saffeels with 15 wins ensured he got max points for the rounds he played and the 25 pts for his Winter Ace was just like a Bonus Round worth of Points.
The only other Winter Ace in the top 10 was THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS but with only 14 rounds the point gap was to big.

Heads up - the new OrCPS-Summer Point Series has been added and Summer leagues can begin to Opt In. Any player or league admin can submit the link to the league they want added and we will add it. We will not automatically add leagues. Send a league admin a message with the link to the league page no later than May 10th and we will add your league.
16 week Oregon State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday April 12th 2014 - Saturday Aug 1st 2014
May 10th 2015 Sunday - Deadline for adding new leagues to the Point Series.
** Leagues can always run outside the OrCPS dates but OrCPS points will only accumulate for rounds played between these dates.
During a week (Sunday to Saturday) points are calculated for each participating league round you play. The highest TWO point total from a participating league are added into your total and the others are "dropped". Summer Aces are worth 25 points even if that league round is dropped. League round points are basically calculated by adding 2 points for participation and one point for every player you beat and if there is no tie for first place the winner gets 2 additional points for being the "Out Right Winner". Now that basic calculation are further adjusted to encourage small leagues and balance out larger leagues using three levels; 4-19 players, 20-59, and 60+ players. The points awarded are different for each group. The smaller league rounds will get a guaranteed max point total the same as 20 players, the middle size league round are calculated as described above and the larger league rounds have a cap with max points being set to 60 players.
Scores must be entered the same as leagues determine payouts; If Divisions are used for payouts than scores must be entered by division. If handicaps are used for payouts then the handicap adjusted scores must be entered.
Highlighted Leagues of the Week (HLW) - We will again have Double Points rounds for each league who desires to have a HLW. We realize some leagues do no like to have a bunch of visiting players so you don't have to have a HLW but for those who like increase their payouts, increase the challenge, increase the comrade and boast the fun and Double the points - please send your desired HLW date and we will highlight your league events before that round and that round will be worth double points to all who play. HLW can be any time after May 10th.

@One Week Left in the OrCPS-W
It's a great time to look back at the different Winter seasons to see how things are progressing and so at a high level I looked at the number of players and number of leagues participating as we wrap up our 2nd OrCPS - Winter .
Note when we started we grab all posted Oregon leagues and add them to the point Series to help ensure they were aware of the OrCPS and to try and reach one of our goals to bring all the Oregon leagues together so all players could see all the different leagues and players through the state. Some leagues had expressed they did not want this so we posted that the Point Series is now an Opt In event and unfortunately this has caused some leagues to not make it in, even some that wanted to but were late in opting in but it has been a great season and we look forward to more growth and fun in the future.
2014 101 total players 8 participating leagues
2015 66 total players 5 participating leagues Not done yet ;-)
OK we have a one week from this Saturday until the Winter season is over and we can get out the Shorts and t-shirts and enjoy warmer weather rounds - I'm optimistic ;-) Forget that Rodent movie star....
*****************************
Last day of the season for Rounds: Feb 28th
Cut-off for league rounds posting and updates: March 7th
*****************************
Yes after the the last rounds on Saturday Feb 28th leagues will have one week to wrap up their round postings and any updates. We will then review the posted comments to try and determine the Coldest Round and Deepest Snow Round for Triple Points and then the Leaderboard will be locked.
I'd also like to give a big THANKS to THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS & Rick Saffeels for getting involved and helping to move the OrCPS forward. They are helping to manage the Double Points rounds, spread the word, collect feedback and ideas to help improve your OrCPS.
This is also a great time to get feedback on the Winter season:
1) Was the 14 week season just right? Should is start earlier, end later, shorter or longer?
(Nov 23rd to Feb 28th )
2) Did you like the additional Double Points round during the Winter season? This is normally only done in the summer and hopefully gives players a little extra motivation to play and maybe more reason to take a road trip, see old friends or make new ones and visit a course they don't normally play.
3) Any other feedback or suggestions are welcomed - help improve your OrCPS
For the OrCPS-Summer 2015 - It was suggested last year to start later to give more time for all the leagues to start their summer season and not join late behind in points.
Last year we did April 6th - July 26th 14 weeks.
This year we are looking at making the season a bit longer but start just a little later:
April 12th - Aug 1st - a 16 week season
With a little over a week left here is how the top 20 of the overall leaderboard is looking.

Rule Change - Double Points - How Cold?
The Double Point Rule for Cold rounds has been updated - If you play a league round and during that round the Fells Like temperature is 20 (Not 15) degrees F or less (Feels Like is with Wind Chill)- post the league name/date/lowest temp in the OrCPS Comments page and that round will be updated to Double Points for all who played. Reminder at the end of the season we will review the posted temps and the round that had the lowest temp will get Triple points.
Playing in 2" of snow or more will also earn you Double Points. Make sure if you play in snow to post the depth as we will also be awarding Triple points to the league that played in the deepest snow.
So get out and enjoy the wonderful Winter league play.

New Leagues in the New Year? We need more Active Groups!

205 Total # of Rounds of League play (by Player)
3222 Total Points Awarded
So we all know that the Point Series just keeps your best two rounds per week(Sunday - Saturday) to try and balance those who can play often with those who are not so fortunate. This does have an impact on the points and where players end up on the leaderboard. One way to try and get insight to who are the other top players but who just can't seem to get out to maximize their round count and there by potentially maximizing/increasing their point total, is to look at Average Points per Round.
Erik Gyllenskog is a good example he has only 1 recorded round so far and earned 17 points. Even I can figure out his Average is 17 pts per round. Now that is pretty good. Actually it is enough to put him at the 18th spot overall for Average points per Round. Several 9 out of the top 20 have lower pt/round averages. Others that merit notice as potential movers and shakers of the future are:
Pos Name Pts Rnds Avg Pt/sRd
13th Zuro W 18 1 18
12th Steven Winslow 54 3 18
8th Rich ayers 20 1 20
7th Lucky . 60 3 20
4th Shaun Kirk 42 2 21
2nd James Beus 64 3 21.33333333
And with 3 rounds to his name and a Pts/Rnds Average of 23.33333333 has the number 1 spot on my Pts/Rnds Average Leaderboard. Now Brandon was rewarded for a cold TNT Tuesday Nights Glow round with Double Points. No Brandon is already in the Top 20 players of the leaderboard. But with the average Pts/Rnd for the top 20 being 6.2 you can see if he improved his 3 rounds to 6 at his current level of play he would jump up the leaderboard.
The Average Pts./Rnd for the top 10 is 7.8 rounds each.
Here are the Top 20 players in order of Pts/Rnd average. Nice play guys

20 William Beus 66 4 16.5
Kevin Pearson is Just under the Average Rnd for the Top 10 but he secured his position currently at that 10th spot. Jonathan Long has the lowest # of rounds in the top 10 but a great round at CCDG Sunday Random Doubles taking 1st place and he also got Double Points at TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW) to he pull him into the top 10 and currently tied with - scottishrob - at 8th place. - scottishrob - did not get those Glowing Double Points so he had to get two 1st place finishes at CCDG Sunday Random Doubles to collect his 94 points. Paul Petitt with 7 rounds, no Double Points but 2 1st place wins at CCDG Sunday Random Doubles to amass 104 and 7th place. I'm not sure how Luck Rafael "Dynomite" Guerrero is but besides his 1st place finish at Lucky lads and laddys, the reason he has 6th spot with only 6 rounds is that in addition to his 1st place round almost all his other rounds were 2nd or 3rd place finishes - Great consistent play "Dynomite". Do you have to be lucky to climb up the leaderboard, No just play more and be more consistently good. At the #5 spot we have with 7 rounds recorded
147 total points (5th overall) bryan van fleet. Now Bryan added another 1st place finish for a total of 3 and besides one 3rd place finish the rest are 2nd place finishes. Great consistent play Bryan. At 4th place we have Steve Jones with 2 1st place finishes at Lucky lads and laddys but upped his total rounds to 9 edging his point total up to 148. Not to be out done and with 9 rounds also is Ira B with 154 points and got those Double Points at TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW) and securing the 3rd place spot currently. Can you get more points in the same number of Rounds - YES and if we take a few lessons from THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS, on how to maximize your point total, as even know he is in 2nd place he actually has a higher Points/Rounds average (0.55555556 higher) than the #1 spot. How - 4 1st place wins, 3 of them in a row (BLING) and a Winter Ace worth 25 extra Points (Hole 9 Jan 4 D.O.R.C.s (Day Of Rest Crew), Dallas City Park course). All he needs is a Double Point round or two and a few more rounds he would be utilizing all the methods for maximizing his point total. Yes with only 9 rounds he has left the door open for others to collect more points. Let's see - Yup Rick with almost the same Points/Round Average has 75 more points 13 rounds recorded, 260 total points (1st overall). Now if we look at the round stats I first see a Red Badge - 10x in a row Winner of TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW) - This guy is explosive! ;-) I don't recall ever seeing this badge before..... 11 wins overall count for the Point Series, a Winter Ace (Hole 2 @ TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW)
Cascades Gateway) and Double Points @ TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW), with the most rounds of any player on the Leaderboard - Now that is how it is done. Can he keep it up for 7 more weeks. Can anyone beat him at TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW)?

Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015

Current Participating Oregon Leagues:
- CCDG Sunday Random Doubles
- D.O.R.C.s (Day Of Rest Crew)
- Lucky lads and laddys
- The Hyzer Cup Traveling Handicap League
- TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW)
No fee to play in this league - Still in affect.
More fun and awards for the league rounds you already are playing.
If you play in a Oregon League between Nov 23rd and Feb 28th make sure the league has been added to the OrCPS-Winter. Just send us a link to the League's About page and we will add it. There is no cost to the league, no extra effort by the league, leagues can use what ever system for points as the OrCPS calculates it's points independently. There still is a limitation that for handicapped leagues you must post the adjusted scores that are used for payouts. Hopefully one day soon we will have a new option for this but all of Santa's Elves are currently working on higher priority projects.
************ Important date **********
January 15th 2015 - deadline for adding new
leagues to the Winter Point Series.
********************************************
Points now re-calculated and using 3 tier point calculation; 20 or less players in a round - 20 pts for first place and counts down - helps smaller leagues (smallest leagues: singles need min. 4 players, Doubles need 3 w/Cali). League rounds with 21 - 60 players - normal points calculation. Great than 60 players is capped at 60 pts - normally not a factor during the Winter season.
Dropped Rounds - I'm sure I will get several message about "Why is one of my Rounds listed as Dropped?" and for all you regulars you already know that the OrCPS uses your best two rounds per week (Sunday through the following Saturday) to try and balance things between those who can play many rounds and those who can only get out to one or two.
Monthly awards - Many of you have seen more Disc Golf Scene Bling in on your profile for Weekly and monthly achievements - Thanks Pete and Disc Golf Scene and the OrCPS. Congrats to all those who have achieved these awards. In January and February we will have some additional awards for some of these monthly achievements - more in a future post but keep playing and achieving. It all pays off in many ways.

So what is happening out in our leagues this winter and what does it take to be listed in the top Twenty of all the Winter Oregon Cooperative Point Series? Who will be State League Champion?
Ok back to what do you need to be in the top 20?
At week 4, at least 2 rounds with with at least 18.5 points/round or an Ace or two. But more rounds is always better.
Now to reach the top of the leaderboard by the end of the season what would you need to do, based on current trends? If Rick Saffeels trends hold true all 14 week, it is looking like you have to average about 19.3 points per round that count and probably around 24.5 rounds for the 14 week season.
Now Rick got to the top in style with 6 of the 7 rounds in 4 weeks, were wins and a Winter Ace in the first week - heck that was more like Fall play than Winter back in Nov ;-) Nice Ace Rick. Adding another 25 pts next to his name at the top of the Leaderboard.
You may recall I have said at least once or twice before that I kind of think playing more can really make a difference. Here is a good example as I look to 2nd place and beyond. I see a points gap. I know Rick hit the ace and got 25 pts but there is still a good point spread between him and the other top players. THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS - earning almost the same points per round but the additional 3 rounds over 4 weeks gave Rick the point advantage.
I feel an Ace comin on for THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS.
All in all lots of great golf out there. Steve Jones & Ira B in 3rd and 4th each with 5 rounds. Lucky . had three strong rounds for almost max points each round, for a higher Point per Round ratio but more rounds, 5 rounds versus 3, Yields Lucky #5.
If only I could get out for one more round.....
Great rounds guys. Going to be a fun Winter season.

So far this year:
5 participating leagues
46 total players
14 week season
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
Last Winter:

Current Participating Oregon Leagues:
- CCDG Sunday Random Doubles
- D.O.R.C.s (Day Of Rest Crew)
- Lucky lads and laddys
- The Hyzer Cup Traveling Handicap League
- TNT - Tuesday Night Twilight (GLOW)
No fee to play in this league - Still in affect.
More fun and awards for the league rounds you already are playing.
If you play in a Oregon League between Nov 23rd and Feb 28th make sure the league has been added to the OrCPS-Winter. Just send us a link to the League's About page and we will add it. There is no cost to the league, no extra effort by the league, leagues can use what ever system for points as the OrCPS calculates it's points independently. There still is a limitation that for handicapped leagues you must post the adjusted scores that are used for payouts. Hopefully one day soon we will have a new option for this but all of Santa's Elves are currently working on higher priority projects.
************ Important date **********
January 15th 2015 - deadline for adding new
leagues to the Winter Point Series.
********************************************
Points now re-calculated and using 3 tier point calculation; 20 or less players in a round - 20 pts for first place and counts down - helps smaller leagues (smallest leagues: singles need min. 4 players, Doubles need 3 w/Cali). League rounds with 21 - 60 players - normal points calculation. Great than 60 players is capped at 60 pts - normally not a factor during the Winter season.
Dropped Rounds - I'm sure I will get several message about "Why is one of my Rounds listed as Dropped?" and for all you regulars you already know that the OrCPS uses your best two rounds per week (Sunday through the following Saturday) to try and balance things between those who can play many rounds and those who can only get out to one or two.
Monthly awards - Many of you have seen more Disc Golf Scene Bling in on your profile for Weekly and monthly achievements - Thanks Pete and Disc Golf Scene and the OrCPS. Congrats to all those who have achieved these awards. In January and February we will have some additional awards for some of these monthly achievements - more in a future post but keep playing and achieving. It all pays off in many ways.

AKA: DGLA: Oregon Cooperative Point Series - Winter 2014/15
http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/DGLA_Oregon_Cooperative_Point_Series_Winter_2014_15
Well the cold air is blowing in, along with frost and a few flakes to signal it's time for some great Winter Disc Golf and so the OrCPS-W is about to kick-off and I wanted to provide an overview and some exciting news for new and previous players.
The Disc Golf League Association (DGLA) is proud to bring you the 2nd annual, Oregon Cooperative Point Series – Winter, (OrCPS-W) 2015 season.
14 week State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
FREE to all league players who play participating leagues and free to the leagues/clubs as well.
******* IMPORTANT *************
January 15th - deadline for adding new leagues to the OrCPS-W Point series.
***************************************
This year clubs/leagues must Opt-In to the OrCPS. Meaning any player or league admin of a league who wants to get OrCPS-W points for their regular league rounds needs to ensure that they post on the OrCPS-W Comments page or send a message to one of the league admin. Please include the link to the league page, it is really helpful to reduce effort and mistakes - Thanks
Also this year leagues can join and decide if they want to have a Highlighted League of the Week (HLW) or not. Some feedback that not all clubs/league are set-up to accommodate extra players or non-regular players. We understand. Now to help reach our mission to encourage more play and to help spread the good ideas, the HLW was designed to provide extra visibility of what each league does so that the ideas can be looked at to see what if anything others can try to enhance the experience of their players. Players also get extra points - Double Points! in the past as well as we try to acknowledge those players who try to attend as many HLW as possible and also look at how that affects their points and performance. But we also promote different formats and types of leagues and so we try to accommodate adding more without adding addition work to the league admin or negatively impact them in any way.
In the past many players of the Winter Point Series have enjoyed a temperature incentive, Double Points for rounds played where the (Feels Like - with Wind chill) Temperature is below 15 degrees F. If your will to challenge the Polar Vortex you deserve some reward.
Another suggestion recently was to add a Snow Incentive - If during your round you play in 2" or more, or 2" accumulates by the end of the round, Double Points.
If either occur post in the comments section and by the end of the week we will update the schedule to show the Double Points. Anyone who played in that round can make this post. The double points will be updated right before the weekly and monthly stats lock for the leaderbaord. If someone posts late we will update and the players will get the double points toward their overall total but the weekly and monthly leaderboards lock 2 days after the week or month.
Do you and your friends exchange stories about who played in the deepest snow or coldest temps? We will help determine that for the state. When you post provide the average fairway snow depth and the actual coldest temp you encountered during the round, when they are extreme and at the end of the season we will go back and update the schedule for the deepest snow and coldest temp and that will get TRIPLE points.
I'm excited to welcome two local players who were both very successful in the previous OrCPS and who were very active in providing feedback and ideas to help grow and improve the OrCPS and ensure it has an Oregon focus. Rick Saffeels & John "BEAST" Johnston have been added to the staff list and so you have some local players who you can discuss the OrCPS with, ask questions, provide suggestions or news that should be passed along to all Oregon players. You can always do the same directly with me but many times it easier to chat in person during a round or at a event.
The Disc Golf League Association (DGLA) is proud to bring you the 2nd annual, Oregon Cooperative Point Series – Winter, (OrCPS-W) 2015 season.
If there are others who would like to get involved please contact one of the OrCPS, there are many ways to help. Organizations/clubs/leagues with Disc Golf News they would like to get out the Oregon players please send the info to us and we will spread the good word. The first Winter point series had 101 players and 8 leagues and each player has friends who see the info on Disc Golf Scene as well. The summer season had 162 players from 14 leagues. Our largest State-wide point series is currently Michigan which first winter PS had 349 players in 15 leagues and last winter had 450 players in 32 leagues and last summer had 831 players in 42 leagues. At DGLA we hope to grow as we help grow disc golf leagues and you are a big part of that mission and success that benefits all disc golf players.

Points calculation:
The Point Series point calculation tries to encourage players to play often yet and yet not penalize those who cannot play more than once or twice a week. We also try to encourage all league to participate by a three tier approached based on league size for the points accrual – League below 20 players get a boast, league greater than 60 have a points cap.
During a week (Sunday to Saturday) points are calculated for each participating league round you play. The highest TWO point total from any participating league are added into your total and the others are "dropped". Winter Aces are worth 25 points even if that league round is dropped. League round points are basically calculated by adding 2 points for participation and one point for every player you beat and if there is no tie for first place the winner(s) gets 2 additional points for being the "Out Right Winner". Now that basic calculation are further adjusted to encourage small leagues and balance out larger leagues using three levels; 4-19 players, 20-59, and 60+ players. The points awarded are different for each group. The smaller league rounds will get a guaranteed max point total the same as 20 players, the middle size league round are calculated as described above and the larger league rounds have a cap with max points being set to 60 players - Details can be reviewed at www.discgolfleagueassociation.org
Scores must be entered the same as leagues determine payouts; If Divisions are used for payouts than scores must be entered by division. If handicaps are used for payouts then the handicap adjusted scores must be entered. (Disc Golf Scene is looking at offering a automated Handicap system which will bring more leagues into the point series and eventually maybe have point series for the different types of league formats - more when info is available - Thanks! Pete and Disc Golf Scene for all you do for all the disc golf players around the World!!!!!).
Cali - If there is one Cali in a double league they are counted as two players but if there is more than one Cali than they are only counted as one when calculating point totals. This ensures leagues can have special Cali rounds with multiple players playing Cali, but the point totals are accurate based on the number of actual players that played the round.
As always leagues can use their own points system or no point when entering league rounds, as the OrCPS points are calculated independently, allowing league more flexibility to continue with their legacy systems or try new point systems.
OrCPS automatically keeps your best TWO rounds per week (Sunday - Saturday) when calculating your OrCPS total points. This is automatically recalculated whenever new scores/rounds are posted or scores are updated. Get out and play as much as you can to increase your skill and maximize your points but if you are limited to how often you can play your goal would be to try and get at least two rounds per week.
Winter Aces: Worth 25 points – League Admin – this is automatically calculated so if you want to use a different point system for your individual league Aces you can.
DGLA will also be awarding some MDGO, Discraft Oregon State Championships berths for the OrCPS-Winter season. More ways to secure your berth and compete in another great Oregon state-wide disc golf event.
Disc Golf Scene has added weekly & monthly awards to your profile based on OrCPS rounds. That’s more Disc Golf Scene Bling for your profile.
*******************************
There are more leagues than ever so get out to some new courses or new leagues and see what is going on throughout the state. Don't overlook the smaller leagues - they tend to incorporate new ideas faster, have a really friendly group feel and you get introduce to the new courses with the locals who know them best. I also highly recommend making it out to one of the larger leagues as well to experience the energy of all those players coming together at one time, yet in a slightly more casual environment than a tournament. Bottom line, get out and play often!!!! & Enjoy the Rounds.
As a player in the OrCPS you represent the core Oregon Disc Golf players and you can really help make this sport better. Help pass along the Disc Golf etiquette that makes rounds fun and fair for all. Encourage new players and pass along some tips to help them improve and enjoy the sport even more. Bring a friend out and expose them to leagues. If you pack it in, pack it out - or at least make sure it ends up in a trash can. Keeping the courses clean is critical to keeping our courses.
We have naturally beautiful courses let's help keep them that way.
If you have questions or ideas concerning DGLA or the OrCPS please post your comments or send us a message.
Thanks and enjoy the Rounds.

Well the cold air is blowing in, along with frost and a few flakes to signal it's time for some great Winter Disc Golf and so the OrCPS-W is about to kick-off and I wanted to provide an overview and some exciting news for new and previous players.
The Disc Golf League Association (DGLA) is proud to bring you the 2nd annual, Oregon Cooperative Point Series – Winter, (OrCPS-W) 2015 season.
14 week State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
FREE to all league players who play participating leagues and free to the leagues/clubs as well.
******* IMPORTANT *************
January 15th - deadline for adding new leagues to the OrCPS-W Point series.
***************************************
This year clubs/leagues must Opt-In to the OrCPS. Meaning any player or league admin of a league who wants to get OrCPS-W points for their regular league rounds needs to ensure that they post on the OrCPS-W Comments page or send a message to one of the league admin. Please include the link to the league page, it is really helpful to reduce effort and mistakes - Thanks
Also this year leagues can join and decide if they want to have a Highlighted League of the Week (HLW) or not. Some feedback that not all clubs/league are set-up to accommodate extra players or non-regular players. We understand. Now to help reach our mission to encourage more play and to help spread the good ideas, the HLW was designed to provide extra visibility of what each league does so that the ideas can be looked at to see what if anything others can try to enhance the experience of their players. Players also get extra points - Double Points! in the past as well as we try to acknowledge those players who try to attend as many HLW as possible and also look at how that affects their points and performance. But we also promote different formats and types of leagues and so we try to accommodate adding more without adding addition work to the league admin or negatively impact them in any way.
In the past many players of the Winter Point Series have enjoyed a temperature incentive, Double Points for rounds played where the (Feels Like - with Wind chill) Temperature is below 15 degrees F. If your will to challenge the Polar Vortex you deserve some reward.
Another suggestion recently was to add a Snow Incentive - If during your round you play in 2" or more, or 2" accumulates by the end of the round, Double Points.
If either occur post in the comments section and by the end of the week we will update the schedule to show the Double Points. Anyone who played in that round can make this post. The double points will be updated right before the weekly and monthly stats lock for the leaderbaord. If someone posts late we will update and the players will get the double points toward their overall total but the weekly and monthly leaderboards lock 2 days after the week or month.
Do you and your friends exchange stories about who played in the deepest snow or coldest temps? We will help determine that for the state. When you post provide the average fairway snow depth and the actual coldest temp you encountered during the round, when they are extreme and at the end of the season we will go back and update the schedule for the deepest snow and coldest temp and that will get TRIPLE points.
