Just wanted to get some opinions on some different formats for league play.
1)Play a normal league round where instead of taking best shot on a doubles team you would take the worst shot playing the same format as regular doubles.
2)Play a round where each player would be CALI playing the normal format of 1 extra shot per hole either a drive ,an up shot or putt.
Just an idea trying to get some opinions...........
I know I'm not showing up for worst shot..
Just a thought.....just wanted to make it a little tougher and it would make for a more challenging round plus there probly wont be teams shooting -20 for 24 holes.
worst shot could be cool.. and no calhoun even better lol

look at the bottom right.. thats could be fun too
Quiet down Shaffer, I can hear you laughing from hear, and the radio's on. Idea #3- Pro/Am teams. Based on PDGA rating or past NM league standings, with a 'bubble' field of players. It's typically more fair for matching up. You get some Pro/Am teams, some bubble teams. Evens out ... more
Quiet down Shaffer, I can hear you laughing from hear, and the radio's on. Idea #3- Pro/Am teams. Based on PDGA rating or past NM league standings, with a 'bubble' field of players. It's typically more fair for matching up. You get some Pro/Am teams, some bubble teams. Evens out the odds for Ams. I always wonder why so many Ams show up every week to play random draw dubs where there's always 2+ "super teams"..
I like all the formats for the holes Shaffer especially the upside down below the ears and drive with your opposite hand..........
i know me too think it would be a blast ill help u set it up if u need some help.. ill get a big group of chains guys there with that kind of setup
Now that sounds like a fun 1-time deal..set up a sheet to give each card, with rules for each hole. Hole 1- throw opposite hand, Hole 2- can only use a mini, etc.
Dont want to split up pros and ams just wanted to try a different format so that everyone could have a different round of play........Like I said just a thought nothing set in stone.......
I really like the pro/am idea. I played the whole winter and got paired with same people many times but hardly ever pros. I have always thought worst shot would be cool thats just good practice for everyone.The cali idea is also sweet, as i have played a league round like that before. Over all i like worst shot and the pro/am idea. i think both would be educational.
I don't come tho this league often i was thinking of coming this week and i think a new format might draw more people. or even a different one each week.
100% agree with Josh/Ben - Pro/AM1 matched up with everyone else field is the way to go.
Right now we are on the rotation of playing mixed tees odds long and evens shorts,after this week we can maybe try one of the most suggested formats by popular demand........if there is enough response to the suggestions.......thanks for the input.We just want to make it a different disc golf experience every time.....change it up a little.
Worse shot is better for a fun round with a few players who are all some what equal. A beginner would feel humiliated with every upshot being thrown from their drive. I would only do that with a small turnout. Cali is cool but it can take quite a bit longer, I'd send people out in 3somes. ... more

Pro/am brings in a lot of politics because of seeding (who is am, who is pro) and where it has been used, it ends up causing many people to quit coming. Willow shorts is the type of course where anyone Am2 and above should be able to shoot well on a good day. I like the short/long odd/even format.
Or, a short list of people who can't be teamed up. Based on percentage of wins at past NM leagues or something. In place of Pro'Am/
i dont know about worst shot at willow. some holes like 4 can be a royal pain and kill the score if you get a bad enough shot
