Now for the first Summer OhCPS season we have denny velardo at the top and our first Ohio State Disc Golf League Summer Champion - Congratulations denny

Ok let's now take a look at some of the stats for those who managed to distinguish themselves by climb the leaderboard through the 16 week season.

Here are the top Ten players listed in order of some key stats

Top Ten Average stats
400.1 Points
26.2 # of Rounds
23 # of Rounds Counted
16.171 Average Points per Rounds
17.822 Average Points per Counted rounds
4.600 Wins
0.300 Aces
2.400 HLW

So if you played on average 1.5 rounds a week during the 16 weeks, Hit at least 2.4 HLWs and won 4.6 of your 26 rounds, each averaging 16.2 points per round you should end up with around 400 points and in the Top Ten.

If you Points per Round average is not that high then add another HLW, hit a few Aces, get in a few more rounds to replace any lower scores that week and you are headed to the Top of the leaderboard.....

Lets see how our Top ten players faired in these categories.

Total # of rounds played.

No doubt the more rounds you play the great the point accumulation is as well as you learn to play in more conditions, courses, learn from more players and experience more courses hopefully.

Mike Thomas - with 42 rounds - awesome!

Position Player Points Total Rounds
3 Mike Thomas 461 42
5 Mark Festi 392 35
1 denny velardo 486 30
9 Don Thomas 342 26
6 Cody Dockrill 387 25
2 Greg Platt 471 24
4 Mike Broda 393 23
10 Larry Bright Jr. 340 22
8 PK Deaner 364 20
7 John Ryan 365 15


Besides helping to spread the word about the many different leagues at different courses you can double up on points. This can really give a nice boost to your point total but most players will get at least one HLW so to really take advantage of the HLW us them as a great reason to travel to other leagues and courses and really maximize you point total.

Way to get out there Mike Thomas with 4 HLW rounds.

By total # of HLW (Double Points)
Position Player Points HLW
3 Mike Thomas 461 4
5 Mark Festi 392 3
6 Cody Dockrill 387 3

8 PK Deaner 364 2
10 Larry Bright Jr. 340 2
2 Greg Platt 471 1


By Aces

Who doesn't like to hit an Ace, normally collect some extra cash and a great reason to express your excitement so everyone else on the course knows and get 25 extra points. The most Aces was 1 Ace by three players:

By Wins

You are a winner! Yes everyone wants to win and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you consistently win you will be at least near the top of the leaderboard. We had several players with several Wins but John Ryan with 11 total wins had the most amoung the top ten.

Points per Round Average - for counted Rounds

Now not everyone can play multiple league rounds each week so another way to compare your play to others is to look at the Average points per round. Now since rounds can be dropped you can look at both only those counted or all rounds so I separate out these two stats. But in this case John Ryan has the highest average in both and if he had managed more than 15 rounds the stats show he probably would have been even higher on the leaderboard but way to make each round count John Ryan.
