Great tournament rick but I think the ratings are off.. shouldn't they be a bit different between playing long and shorts?

Dave Davies   April 11, 2015 at 10:37pm

Just noticed that after I got excited having shot two 900 rounds =(

Rick Marritt   April 11, 2015 at 10:48pm

I personally cannot explain the ratings factor that the PDGA gives and provides. I can place a question to the PDGA when I turn in my report.

Rick Marritt   April 11, 2015 at 10:49pm

And thank you BTW. I appreciate it Steve.

http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/13358 Theres gotta be something to it.. maybe they fix it on their end.. ratings for the short holes seem to be about 25 points lower

Dave Davies   April 11, 2015 at 11:08pm

yeah, the ratings do change after initial submission sometimes I know that, so maybe that will be taken into account. Awesome job posting the scores so fast though =)

Rick did show a difference in course pars- 76/longs, 72 shorts, where the difference of 4 is the same as the number of short tees played by some. PDGA may not initially compute that variation as significant.

Fred Vocino   April 12, 2015 at 2:36pm

Steve offers a 2012 April Anhyser for comparison. A number of conditions going into the calculations can explain year to year variations. 25 points may be counter-intuitive, just as my own intuition about my poor play yesterday makes me doubt the high rating I got.

Steve Hatter   April 12, 2015 at 7:10pm

the 2012 shows the difference in ratings between shorts and longs. a 70 for rec didn't score the same as a 70 from am1. as far as different ratings I understand conditions play with that so no two tournaments will have the same ratings for the same courses.. just like when players collectively shoot better

Steve Hatter   April 12, 2015 at 7:11pm

I imagine/hope it changes after some time

Fred Vocino   April 12, 2015 at 7:45pm

Now I see Steve's point about 2012. That is, previously different tees did make a difference when persons with the same score were rated.

As long as the report was submitted properly reflecting multiple layouts as specified in the TD manager help page (http://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/manager/help.php) then it should also be shown on the unofficial page. Until the tournament changes to "Official" then the TD can make necessary changes to get it straightened out, once official you have to contact the PDGA.

I found out where I DID make a mistake and I appologize. I found that I missed a tab when enterring the data and did not select which divisions played which course. Everything should be correct now. Sorry for the mistake.

Steve Hatter   April 13, 2015 at 9:30pm

Don't apologize Rick! appreciate everything you do so we can have an awesome event like saturday. looking forward to more local events. you're the man!

Rick Marritt   April 13, 2015 at 10:16pm

:- )

Dave Davies   April 14, 2015 at 12:53am

its not about making a mistake but how you handle it when it happens. You ran a very organized tourney and have been extremely responsive to everyone, awesome job.

Fred Vocino   April 14, 2015 at 8:40am

I saw Rick work hard all day then he must have worked late to satisfy our wishes for a quick report of the scores. My need for immediate gratification should be subordinate to reasonable expectations of event organizers.
