Fundraiser Katanas for the Japan Open are here


We have some Champion Katanas, some Champion Blemished Katanas and some Pro Katanas that are fundraisers for the 2010 Japan Open. Here's the info on the disc:


The first Japan Open fund-raising offering is the First Run Prototype Katana (unreleased from Innova).
Calling all distance challenged throwers! The Katana is built with the finesse thrower in mind. Recommended downwind driver. Hit the angle right and watch it bolt out of sight. The physical characteristics resemble a Boss with the flight characteristics of a Sidewinder on steroids. Master the technique of Katana and rule the course.
KATANA- [kah-tah-nah] Origin Japan 1392~ A curved single-edged sword traditionally used by Japanese Samurai. The samurai would give names to their swords as they believed their warrior spirit lived within the Katana.
Origin Rancho Cucamonga, USA 2009~ An INNOVA DISC GOLF TECHNICAL DISTANCE DRIVER with flight chart numbers: 13 +, 5, -3, 3.

PDGA ROY and POY Candidates



Who's in the hunt for Player or Rookie of the Year?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click on the pic above to see the charts better.

The current standings for the 2009 PDGA Players & Rookies of the Year have been updated. Seven men and seven women have the best Average Ratings in their seven best events for Player of the Year (POY) for events thru the USDGC. Six men and six women have the best Average Ratings in their five best events toward Rookie of the Year (ROY) thru the USDGC. The top 7 (POY) and top six (ROY) players with the best Average Ratings in their best events by yearend will make the finals before the final calculations determine the POY and ROY award winners for 2009. These players are on top so far. You can click on the above pic to see it better. Full details for each candidate and the calculation process have been posted here.
The Women rookies with Average Ratings in red do not yet have the minimum five events needed by the end of the year to qualify as finalists. So they need to play well in qualifying events the rest of the year to keep up with Haley Konrad who is technically in the lead right now. All of the other players in the four tables already have the minimum number of events needed. They can still improve their Average Rating if late season events are better than ones already included.
Almost three months of events have not yet been reported. Positions can still change within the top candidates. Other players just out of the top six or seven can still get in with many events to go. However, only events that are B-tier or higher where at least 54 holes are played can count toward the standings.
In addition to their Average Rating shown here, the finalists' Average Rating at Worlds and Finish Percentage (100% is best) in their best events are part of the final awards calculation. For POY only, Head-to-Head peformance against the other finalists will be included.
