Thank you for your kind words, Laura. I was lucky, that's all: lucky to live near to Bud Hill, lucky to play with a great group of folks and lucky to be able to hurl a disc at age 60.

Laura,

Even though I may have shot the best round of my life, I still didn't show a "1" in on my score card like you did.

Congratulations on that,

Gary

Bluff, don't act like you don't remember the coup you announced. Conveniently you mentioned your coup in the "secret vault" shrouding the new handbook.

Break it down for me at the Tomato Toss tomorrow and save the soup for the Ice Bowl.

TD's have some leeway here!

USUALLY a division must have three players, BUT, we have ALWAYS allowed less for the women, or at least I have.

You can allow two player divisions, but they have to either play with another person, or persons, to turn in a valid scorecard. And official COULD walk with the m tokeep score, but we hardly ever have an extra offical around when you need one.

If it had been me, They would have had to play with at least one other player but I wouyld have allowed the division!

If a division is offered and there is a trophy, then the TD should keep that division open. The rule says that if a certain division is not offered prior, and three or more players wish to play in that division, then the TD should create that division for them, even if there is not a trophy available and the sanctioning body does not recognise and award points for that division. ROBBED.

I misunderstood. If the division was not offered, then no, TD didn't have to create one for just two players.

I have allowed short disvisions to be played on many occasions. As long as there are three players on the card, no matter what divisions they are playing, it is a valid scorecard.

It is the TD's option to allow this, but I would ike to see anyone who comes be able to play in their prefered division.

Just sayin'

I am not up to date on the Southern Nationals Handbook yet, but I do know that the PDGA does not require you to have 3 players in a division to make said division. I had two Advanced Masters last weekend play and they were perfectly fine with that. I just added an Advanced player to them and after round one, I put the lowest Advanced Player on their card. It seemed to be just fine.
The division is up to the TD to offer I believe, but could be wrong on that call. If the TD didn't want to offer this division then so be it. NO more arguing on this issue.

Yes Doug, I agree. It seems to be totally up to the TD to make the call. I've played Master Women as the only player without being bumped up and made to join the Pro Women, but I've also been made to play Pro Women when there were only two Master Women. That was two different TD's different calls. One the second occasion, they even had a plaque made for Master Women, but our scores still went under ProW.... figure that one out! I guess he didn't want to payout another division. My personal belief is don't advertise a division that you don't intend to payout. But that's just My Opinion.

It is entirely up to the TD but notice must be given if specified divisions of 3 or more are not going to be offered.

It is also helpful if the 2 players knowing they will be there pick up the phone and contact the TD PRIOR to the event so they are aware of what will occur should a third individual in that division not show to play......


That'd be a lot better than hanging these issues on the TD - (s)he's got plenty on his/her plate already.....

And I agree with McCarty - most TDs will make exceptions for the ladies and novice and jr divisions just because we (TDs) want to continue to encourage sport and series growth......


It's real easy to point out what could've been done better - especially by those with no "skin in the game"......Peace, Griff

This should be up to the TD. I volunteered to TD a couple of tournaments in Gulfport several years ago, and there weren't a lot of people willing to play in 105 degree weather. So, there was one open player and one pro master. There was a plaque and prize money involved, We talked about it and agreed on a solution. In my opinion, if only one or two guys show up for a certain division, they compete in that division with much better odds of winning. Especially when prizes are involved. They still have to play the same course, with the same conditions as everyone else. They drove to the tourney and paid their money, just like everyone else. I've seen many times when pros only had a few people and the winner got less money than 3rd place in masters. It happens. Are you not going to have an Open division because of only having 2 players? Not a chance. Give the man his due. He showed up, which was more than others could say.

If you play Open, then you have no choice to move down because that is the top division and once you cash you have to compete in it for the next 4 tournaments.Pro masters and grandmasters can move to open and still be eligable.

I have to say that I was moved to a different division at a tournament once. I was moved AFTER I had paid my entry. If I had known before I signed in, I would not have played in said tournament.

I don't play many tournaments anymore, but when I do, I try to hit the ones that normally have at least three or four PGMs. NO reason to spend a boatload of money to travel and donate.
