Quick post of info:
We defined and captured some rules in the League description based on recent events. I also wanted to describe the team pairing system so all know what we are currently using.
"To capture a few rules due to recent events:
You must be registered and at Roll Call to be able to compete for payouts, including Ace Pool. After Roll Call the list will be finalized – Anyone not present will be removed from the list - Cali determined if needed – teams determined and play will begin.
If you show up after Roll Call you can play single (not Cali) with a group, for points only. You must play all holes with other league players as witnesses. No group size greater than 6.
Cali pay-in is double except Ace pool and 2nd drive Aces count.
Our goal is to make this as fun and as fair as possible and include as many players as possible. Your ideas, suggestions, participation, patience and cooperation are all key to the success and appreciated by all who run Ypsi Dubs and who play the leagues.
"
Team Determination:
The goal is to make as fair of teams without pairing the same players week after week.
The basic idea is to divide the group of registered players into 4 groups based on a rating system. Pair the highest with the lowest after the lowest group has been randomized. Then the two middle groups get paired in the same way.
The rating system:
The current Excel file stores all the league rounds from the two Ypsi Dubs leagues. New players are given an initial rating by the League Coordinator. Scores are averaged together from week to week and once you have more than 5 - just your last 5 are used.
Top Players with several bad weeks may get paired with another Top Player. New Players that plays hot or who play with Top Players will then get paired accordingly. Gee sounds similar to random draw except that it balances out over time based on performances. New Players or lower skilled players will have Advanced players for their first few rounds and then their average will determine the group they are paired with. We will evaluate how this rating system works, potentially evaluate others and occasional use Random Flip or other methods.
For the larger groups we will have during summer this method should be quick, as fair as any other for the diversity of the groups of players.
Your constructive suggestions and feedback is always welcomed.
