Final day of Summer league

Thanks everyone for coming out for our final day of summer league! We had a great showing with 25 people and some great scores as well. We'll continue to have casual doubles every Sunday at noon and will start our official Winter league on Sunday, October 5th. Hope to see as big of a crowd for the first day of winter as we did for the final day of summer!

Last Summer League Day!!

This Sunday, August 24th, will be our last official day of LDT Summer League at Big Portage. We will continue to play on Sundays on a more casual basis until Winter League begins in October. Next Sunday, September 1st, most of us will be at States and it is unlikely that there will be anyone there to coordinate. Feel free to continue to come out and get your practice in. 2014-2015 Winter League will have berths up for grabs just like last year, except we should have more this year to give out! I ... more

If you have any questions, feel free to post here or pm Jason or myself. Looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday at league for the last day of Summer!

8/3 League

Great showing for league on Sunday! Was a great day for golf and I know I had a blast out there. Ace pool is beginning to climb back up again. Remember we have league on Thursdays at JCC as well. All you club members come out and support that league if you'd like to see a weekday summer league again in 2015. Club has tons of plastic, so if there is anything you need be sure to message me and let me know so I can bring it out. It's getting to the point where it may not be practical to b ... more

Club has tons of plastic, so if there is anything you need be sure to message me and let me know so I can bring it out. It's getting to the point where it may not be practical to bring all of it to leagues anymore. We are actually looking for a small trailer that can be locked so we can keep it mobile. Contact me if you have one or know someone that does. Thanks!

7/6/14 Big Ace!!

Congrats to Chris Otis for hitting an ace on Sunday that was worth just over $500!! Wish I could have been there for it..I'm sure it put a big smile on his face. So we're back to growing that ace pool at both leagues now. Thursday at JCC and Sundays at Portage as always. A quick reminder as well to everyone to please check your score cards before submitting them at league. After receiving everything back, two scores were found to have been submitted with incorrect scores. No payouts we ... more

A quick reminder as well to everyone to please check your score cards before submitting them at league. After receiving everything back, two scores were found to have been submitted with incorrect scores. No payouts were affected, but we still need to keep and eye on this. If your score doesn't appear correct on the leaderboard, it's because it was added incorrectly. Hope everyone had a great holiday. See you all next league day!

6/15/14 league cancelled

We will NOT be at Portage Lake next Sunday, June 15th. Instead we will be out at Jackson College hosting Rise of the Phoenix II. If you normally attend league, then come out there for a day of fun! We will be teeing off at 10am. It's an unsanctioned byop doubles event. Hope to see many of our league members out there!

5/11/14 League

Just a reminder to everyone that we ARE having league tomorrow! I will also be bringing all the club plastic out (400+ discs) so bring some extra $$ if you're looking for some new stuff. Got plenty of the new Gstar Innova stuff now in stock. Any disc golfing Moms who show up to league tomorrow will be receiving a special gift courtesy of LDT. Hoping to see a good crowd out there despite the holiday!

League is on for this Sunday!

Despite the Hallmark holiday they call Mother's Day, we will still be hosting LDT dubs league at Big Portage Lake at noon this Sunday. We encourage all the disc golfing Moms to join us for the fun!
On a side note, if you are an LDT member going to the State Championships please get with me asap about housing. We are reserving a house and if you want in I'll need your $$ asap. House sleeps 6, so don't wait on it if you wanna get in.
We are also starting our Thursday night league at JCC tonight at 6pm! $5 doubles and all the cash goes to payouts. Hope to see you all out there!

Lots of stuff going on this weekend that I'm hoping everyone will be able to attend! We will finally culminate our winter season with the tag challenge on Saturday. All the prizes for league points winners and the winner of the tag challenge, including berths, will be given out at that time. This is going to be a lot of fun, so don't miss out!

Sunday we will have summer league at our normal time and place. Can't wait to play league again! It's been two weeks, but feels like a lot longer. Also on Sunday evening we will be getting a group of guys together to visit the Chain Hunters down at Baw Beese and show our support for the Hillsdale crew. They've got tag packages in, so anyone that's interested can buy in there for $25. This includes your tag, shirt, and towel. I know I'm gettin one! Looking forward to this great weekend of disc golf :)

Lost Disc Tribe summer league has begun!

LDT summer league began on Sunday! I have a feeling that some people may have been unsure if we were going to be there, as we had a smaller than usual group. We will continue to have our dubs league at Portage at noon on Sundays in both summer and winter. There will not be any breaks unless it has been noted in the news section on the league page.
Summer bag tag packages are now available. I've already sold about 1/3 of them, so if you are planning on picking one up then let me know. I ... more

Summer bag tag packages are now available. I've already sold about 1/3 of them, so if you are planning on picking one up then let me know. I'll have them at league every Sunday. $25 gets you a sweet bag tag package. Check them out on the summer bag tag page.
Also keep in mind that we have some tournaments coming up very soon. Birds and the Bees on 4/19, the bag tag challenge on 5/3, and the 4th Annual Throw for a Cure on 5/24. Check these out and post in the talk section if you're planning on coming out. It takes a lot of planning to put these tourneys together, so the sooner we have notification that you're coming the easier it is for us to prepare. Thanks everyone and I'll see you on the course!

LDT summer league rules (league members please review)

The following are the Lost Disc Tribe rules for the Summer League 2014 season:

During a league round all members will be expected to follow PDGA guidelines (with some exceptions as outlined by league coordinators) and be respectful towards other participating members (this includes your doubles partner). Violations of this rule will result first in a warning, but if further violations are committed then a league ban may be instituted for that individual.

The following are the Lost Disc Tribe rules for the Summer League 2014 season:

During a league round all members will be expected to follow PDGA guidelines (with some exceptions as outlined by league coordinators) and be respectful towards other participating members (this includes your doubles partner). Violations of this rule will result first in a warning, but if further violations are committed then a league ban may be instituted for that individual.

The number of players participating in a league round will determine the number of places that will be paid out. 9 or less players pays 1 spot (100% for 1st). 10-17 players pays 2 spots (70% for 1st, 30% for 2nd). 18-26 players pays 3 spots (65% for 1st, 25% for 2nd, 15% for 3rd). 27 or more players pays 4 spots (50% for 1st, 25% for 2nd, 15% for 3rd, 10% for 4th). Numbers will be rounded to reflect whole dollar amounts.

In the event of a tie for cash winnings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), those winnings will be determined by a 3 hole playoff to be played on holes 10,17, and 18. If there is a tie after these 3 holes have been played, then the winner will be determined in a sudden death fashion. This loop, beginning with 10, will be played until a winner is determined.

Points will be based on a new system beginning this summer. You will receive 2 points for participation, 2 points for every team that you beat (if there is a Cali this counts as a “team”), and an extra 2 points if you win the league round. For example, if there are 4 teams (and no ties) then 4th place would receive 2 points, 3rd place 4 points, 2nd place 6 points, and 1st place 10 points.

In order to be eligible for points in a league round you must complete the round. If you do not complete the round then you forfeit any entry fee/ace pool/ctp money that you submitted, your name will not be added to the list of participants that played on Disc Golf Scene, and you will not receive any league points for the round. You will also be given the lowest bag tag that is up for grabs that day.

If, during a round, your partner forfeits and you decide to finish the round without him/her, then you will retain your current score and play Cali for the remainder of the round. If your partner leaves and you choose not to finish the round, then you will receive a refund for your entry fee ($5). Ace pool and ctp money will not be refunded, and you will receive no league points for the round if you choose not to continue.

If you are playing Cali during a round and you get a hole-in-one (ace) on a Cali shot (second shot) from the tee, this does NOT count as an ace towards the ace pool. An ace only counts towards the ace pool for Cali if it is their first shot from the tee. You will still receive a 1 on the hole for a second shot ace, but will not get paid out for an ace. As always, Cali does not pay any extra when playing in our league (even if Cali is chosen or flipped for). There will be no extra league points awarded for an ace during league for anyone.

If you are a tag holder, but did not bring your tag to league play, then you are still eligible for the full ace pool benefits, however you are NOT eligible for the free CTP, and you will not be playing for tags during that league round.

If you buy into tags, then you must attend a minimum of (1) league round per month. A warning will be issued if there is a calendar month that you have not participated in. At this point you will be given the lowest tag that we have available and your higher tag # will be awarded to someone who has been attending league regularly. If another calendar month is skipped at any time during the season after the first warning has been issued, then this may result in tag forfeiture.

No berths will be available for summer league, but we will have some great prizes for the 2014 summer points winners. For winter and summer in 2015 we will have more berths to award.

If you choose to bring a youth (under the age of 16) to league that is fine, but you will automatically be partnered with that youth. You will both still be responsible for normal league dues. Youth tees will now be set up for each league round.

Female players (16 or older) will be entered into the random draw with all the other players, but will also be eligible to play from short tees depending on level of ability (determined by league administrators).

If, during a round, an administrative personnel (Jason Cassidy or Ben Ross) determines that weather conditions are too dangerous to continue, then the round will be stopped and scores will be determined on a fair value system. For instance, if each team has played 12 holes, but only 8 were the same holes, then the scores for those 8 holes will determine the winner.

In order to foster respect for the game of disc golf, intentional cheating in any form will not be tolerated by Lost Disc Tribe. If a group reports that an individual player or team has intentionally cheated during a round (this includes, but is not limited to, pencil whipping, reporting an incorrect score to the score keeper, moving your disc closer to the basket for a better lie, or altering the opposing team's disc in any way) then that group or individual will receive ONE warning. However, if the league administrators deem that the infraction is too severe to warrant only a warning, then that individual(s) may be immediately banned from the Lost Disc Tribe league. If it is determined that only a warning will be issued, then those involved will forfeit their round. This means that those in violation are not eligible for league points or prizes, and will forfeit their league dues/ace pool/ctp monies for the day. If that individual(s) is EVER associated with another intentional cheating infraction, then they will automatically be banned from Lost Disc Tribe league.

If there are any disputes regarding the rules as they are written, or if there is a rule that must be proposed on site due to a new issue, then the league administrators (Jason Cassidy and/or Ben Ross) hold carte blanche over any decision made regarding those disputes.
