2008 Course Challenge Series Finale @ Banklick 11/1

Another year of the GCFDA Course Challenges is about to come to a close. Seems like we were just talking about the schedule not long ago but we've played 8 course challenges thusfar and the Series Finale is Saturday 11/1/08 at Banklick Woods disc golf course. Signup by 9:30, $5 late fee after 9:30, tee at 10:00. We'll play two rounds. 18, 20, 24-hole format is still being discussed. It depends somewhat on the weather that day. If it's nice we can play more holes. If it's wet and muddy we play less holes. Daylight comes into play also. After the two rounds and that days awards are given out we head over to Willies in Independence on Rt. 17 for the yearly series awards and some good food, beverage, pool and sports on tv. Nice way to end the series. Looks like some close finishes for Series Champions in some of the divisions - check the link below.

Points: The course challenge standings are based on a player's finishes in the course challenges throughout the calendar year. Started in 2000, player's points are based upon the place that they finished in their division. For example, 1st place gets one point, fifth get five, tenth gets ten, etc. Players that did not play in a particular course challenge are awarded points equal to the maximum turnout of players in their division plus one over all course challenges in a year. This weights all tournaments the same No one is penalized more for missing one tournament over another. For example, In Advanced 24 people play Mt Airy, 10 play Pride, someone who misses Mt Airy gets 25 points, someone who misses Pride gets 25 points (2003). The two worst point totals of the year (out of the nine course challenges) are dropped from the total points for every player. The other course challenge points are tallied together to form a total score. The player with the lowest total score is the course challenge series champion in that division. (The system is roughly based on the cross country point system).
