all i was asking was for someone to show me where the SN says that you can only play novice once...and nobody can. i think it is a big turnoff for newer players that want to compete that there is no division between novice where most of the people shoot 4-8 over on 18 holes and intermidiate where folks shoot 4-6 down on 18...that is like a 10 shot difference. There should be a division between novice(if you can only play it once) and intermediate more newer players would play because they can be competitive in their division until their skills improve. But instead of anyone answering the real question they just accuse you of cheating.
BTW i will not be able to make it this weekend but girly you can go ahead and write down what you have to say to me and next time i see you you can tell me exactly what you want!!

Mark, there is division you speak of, REC.
Who called you a cheater ? I was talking to JBreezy when he said he would follow the rules if they were inforced. Please, don't put words in my mouth.
As for novice being an actual division - I always heard and have always thought novice was for FIRST time tournament players. If you've cashed in novice, MOVE UP.

SN does not have a rec division that is my point...PDGA does. I would like to ssee SN put in a rec division for developing players maybe that is something that the board of directors can discuss. I think it would encourage more play from "middle of the road" players.
and Girly if the cheater remark was not aimed at me i am sorry for flying off the handle, maybe you should have clearified that in your post.

Here is my answer to the novice thing.
If you cannot shoot under par be it tourney rd or casual rd play int. I agree with you that 4-6 up should not be playing with people who shoot 4-6 down. If you can shoot even or under par on a consistant basis then play adv.
If people would play where they belong then novice wouldn't need to exist. Int/novice should be the same thing. But until people play where they need to be playing them I don't see a problem with people playing novice more than once.
At the end of a tournament. Int winner should not be 4-6 under pat for the tournament. 4-6 under is not intermediate that's adv
So mark and whoever asked until this problem of bagging is fixed play in whatever division you feel comfortable and have fun and try to teach people rules that don't know them.
I feel we need as many people playing as possible so I will offer nov at my tournaments from now on but if someone shoots under par in novice I will not pay them out.

There use to be a REC division in the SN, not sure if it's still used. It's not used around here.
JBreezy , I have yet to use the word cheat,cheater in any of my post. I was simply quoting you, correct? You said you would follow the rules if enforced. Now you are putting words in my mouth. Who's next?

there was a REC at Paul B. but no Novice so really the REC at that one was NOVICE. and to set record straight ive been playing maybe 6 months, 3 months truly playing. and only been to two tournaments, which i did not win still was plenty of competiton.

Ok, I have a way to settle all this cat fighting on the message board between Sullivan and Gourley. There is a log/downed tree going over the water between hole 4 and hole 17. I say y'all walk out on the log from seperate sides and joust it out like American Gladiators, winner gets a sweet 146g Dolphin and a cookie. Not sure it will be as epic as Nitro vs. Gemini but should still be fun to watch.

I think you will be ok Josh. Hole 4 (over the water where you will be jousting) and maybe hole 16 or 17 if you over shoot the basket on your approach (kinda like 17 at the Rez if you over shoot basket going towards the water you are wet) are the only ones that you should really go into the water unless you just got unlucky and hit a tree on hole 2 or 3 and shot into the drink. I would keep the green tie dyed discs at the house though or anything that is dark or not clear to see or easily find. My brother lost a dark green tie dye monster on hole 5 and it only looked like it went 5 ft in the woods from the box and disappeared. He is a novice, for sure, and played every hole but hole 4 and only lost that one disc b/c it was not a bright color so you should be good.

Everyone have fun this weekend.....
For those interested historically novice and recreational are the same when it come to posting results. They are interchangeable name-wise and receive no sn points since there is no novice/rec division at the SNAC.
Many TDs including myself, think of it as an intriductory division but there has never been a rule stating that a person can only play novice once. Ideally novice and ams play the same courses so someone new to tournament golf can see where they would finish if they had played ams. If a player wants to play novice more than once it is ok by me because at tournaments I've ran novice was paid out as a noncompetative division with every player getting something. Jim Orum typically gave ALL novice players the choice of 2 discs or a small disc golf bag at past tournaments. The payout was the same across the entire division. I've emulated this approach myself.

Suggestion to the board of directors:
novice division-newcomers to the game. Players may play a total of 5 novice tournament after that they must move up to the next highest division.
This will give new players a chance to get some tournament experience before they make the jump to a higher division. I don't think that one tournament gives anybody a clear understanding of what tournaments are like.
Then have the other divisions either based on the current points system or a rating system like the pdga.

I am of course appalled by an argument about a rule without even referring to the rule.
It reads: (1.4.3) Novice: an amateur division for beginning players.
What is a "beginning" player? I suppose that is debatable but in this case we don't have to because the Commissioner has spoken.
Wish I could come get my GM gold but no can do.
Does the Commissioner have a partner for the SNDC?
