Hello Freestate friends. The season is coming to an end and its time to clear your calender and make plans for the Freestate Doubles Championship.
First let me thank the TDs from each league for providing scores each week to keep this going and to the players who kept showing up in big numbers.
The Freestate Doubles Championship will be held the first Sunday in November (the 6th) at Patapsco State Park. Registration will start at 9:30 and play begins at 10:30. Fee to play is $4. We will play the green monster. The top 2 teams will play a final 9.
There will be 2 divisions. Champions and field.
To qualify for the Champions division a player must finish in the top 4 of a weekly league or in the top 20 for Freestate standings. (Since the Calvert leagues do not post points on dgs the league leaders will be determined using the Scarboro method. one win = one point) League leaders will be paired by their rankings. So 1st and 2nd placed will be paired as will 3rd and 4th. Other teams in the Champions division will be paired randomly.
The field division is for players who have participated regularly but don't meet the criteria for the Champions division. To qualify for the field a player must finish in the top 10 of a weekly event or in the top 50 for Freestate standings. All teams will be paired randomly.
Let me know if you have any questions. See you there.
