For the record, I am 2 for 2 on cashing at the putting palace. I believe this puts me in the same elite status as Krystal. Next week bring extra cash, prop bets are welcome.

Jump putts behind the line is the best rule. At league and life...

In this format there is room for one, two, and three pools of players based on skill. We have used A/B/C pools to divide players by skill and this option does not change this at all. Since we are currently using three pools to divide players I will use that set of pooled players to demonstrate this proposal.

With this idea there is no “tournament” per se but the whole night is the tournament, much in the way that some say the regular season in college football ... more

In this format there is room for one, two, and three pools of players based on skill. We have used A/B/C pools to divide players by skill and this option does not change this at all. Since we are currently using three pools to divide players I will use that set of pooled players to demonstrate this proposal.

With this idea there is no “tournament” per se but the whole night is the tournament, much in the way that some say the regular season in college football is the tournament to get into bowl games. Players will be divided into there respective pools, by skill, that have already been set forth in previous weeks. Registration will be done in the current way with one exception.

Registration

As players show up and pay to get in, they will be assigned their pool as usual but will also be assigned a number. This number can be arbitrary or assigned by the order they come in and pay so as the first person in each pool to pay is 1, second person to pay is 2 and so on. If it is decided that number selection should be arbitrary, I suggest using a “poker chip” method. In this method when a player pays their way in they draw a chip with a number on it from their pools bag and that is their assigned number for the night. This works even if a player needs to be moved from one pool to another as they can just draw a chip from their new pool and forfeit the chip they drew from their previously assigned pool.

Format

This proposal calls for a set number of games each night in a round robin format that determines cashing spots. Players will be assigned a different teammate each game they play. This will be achieved by using the assigned numbers for each player. Poker chips with each player’s number will be put in a bag for each pool. These chips will be drawn so as A pool players will be randomly paired with C pool players and B pool players will be paired with other B pool members. For example, A pool 6 is drawn, then C pool 3 is drawn. They will be partners for one game. Chips will be randomly drawn for each game. For each win a team is awarded 1 point for each player on the team. At the end of round robin the players with the most points will be paid out in order of the total points a player has.


Ties

In the event of a tie for any cashing spot the players who are tied for any cashing position with “playoff” for order in a “race” style game. For example, three players are tied for cashing spots 4-6. These three players will all be on one side of the court together. They will flip for first round putting order. Once order is established these players will “race” to a number previously set forth using the same scoring as a regular game. The first player to reach the magic number receives 4th place cash. Once that player has reached the magic number they are done putting for the evening. The other two players will continue to putt until one of these players reaches the magic number. The player that achieves the magic number next gets the 5th place cash and the last player will receive 6th place cash. This can be used to break an unlimited number of ties.

Yes, Herzogs basket is garbage. I told him last night he should buy me a chainstar to use as a show of appreciation for all the years I spent raising him to be the man he is today. I am concerned I did not do a good enough job....

Krystal is Putting Palace Champion! Everything has limits though and to say that she could win with KT is just ludicrus. To tell ya the truth I have absolutely no idea how he got by Milewski/Rooster last night other than Griz-D drank to much, and Mouton caught fire. I also heard Rooster say something about Ryans rasket.

Amateur Hour    December 8, 2010 at 12:23am

Grrrrr. Mouton has been calling for a rematch as soon as fromms 2nd putt defied all logic and stuck, am side._

Joe Gabris    December 8, 2010 at 12:16am

And then KT and Mouton faced a real team, and my female partner rubbed their face in their own dookie. Krystal is a bad ass, she carried me all the way to victory. I like the format the way it is everyone has a good time, the only thing that I would like to add is the "Dynasty" rule from Rary and you all know why ;)

Amateur Hour    December 8, 2010 at 12:04am

And not only did I not get rooster, mouton and I stomped his face in head to head. Rooster and his partner didn't bring their "a" pool game.

Amateur Hour    December 8, 2010 at 12:01am

I like the format. So fun I drive an hour each way. Keep it going. Good work jon.

Andy Bawol    December 7, 2010 at 9:59pm

Maybe a system where there is a draw every round, winning team players each get a point and players with the most points gets paid out. You could still use A/B/C pools to draw partners to "handicap" the better putters. Ties for payout spots are singles matches to determine who gets the higher payout. Everyone that shows plays more games and no one is cut out after the round robin. Essentially it's an all evening round robin played as doubles but single players get paid out and not teams. Just an idea.

John Minicuci    December 7, 2010 at 9:25pm

There are no baggers in the Putting League. A/B or A/B/C pools never work out for everyone and to be sure, there will always be some strong teams and some weak ones. They are all dependent on who shows up and how lucky you are in the draw. Maybe the Euchre style (every game is a new partner) might work better. I just haven't figured out the scoring / payouts yet. One of the reasons is I haven't had a lot of time to investigate them cuz I'm such a slacker ;-)

I think you should start an advice blog on discgolf scene. I will be your first subscriber. Rooster, your fate is sealed.

Andy Bawol    December 7, 2010 at 12:26am

So your saying I shouldn't be putting with Nukes? Any more life lessons you would like to impart on me Mike?

Andy Bawol    December 7, 2010 at 12:16am

Prolly shouldn't even show then KT. Your fate is sealed.

Amateur Hour    December 6, 2010 at 11:27pm

If I get rooster I will walk out instantly. Just say no. To rooster

Joe Gabris    December 6, 2010 at 9:07pm

You better not forget about Josh S. He is the biggest bagger of all.

Joe Gabris    December 6, 2010 at 8:15pm

First Monday of the month Woop woop! That means A and B pools only. Some of you B-pool baggers are gonna have to move up not to mention any names Lance B, and John Minicuci, lol. Good luck making the playoffs tonight K.T. remember even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

Andy Bawol    December 6, 2010 at 8:04pm

I'm sorry KT. As your partner tonight I will be throwing only lefty upside down Bosses with a full run up. I hope you understand this is a new putting style I'm working on. We may not make the playoffs and for that I am sorry.

Amateur Hour    December 6, 2010 at 7:15pm

I will be there and the goal is to make the playoff to get into the playoffs. Let's get it partner
