Question about Moving Up...
Question about Moving Up...
Okay, here is my question. In your opinions, when is it time to move from one level of play to the next? Do you move up when you start winning and placing in tournaments or do you wait until you dominate the field?
My personal opinion is that when I begin winning and placing in a field on a regular basis and scoring where I would be in the top 15 in the next field up, then it will be time for me to move to aid in my games development. This is a personal choice. I am just really curious what others think is the proper time.

The faster you move up, the better you get. Playing with people who are better than you, makes you a better player faster. Basically you just have to take your beatdowns for awhile, then you start handing them out Just my opinion though
I guarantee if you play Advanced all year, halfway through the season you will be 10 times better then when you started.. most people usually play to the level of comp that they throw with..
Im just an AM though I woulden't take my word for it

See I considered doing that. Play Advanced in KDGA events and Intermediate in PDGA to preserve my rating In the case of an event such as Wyco, just default to PDGA....
I will see how I do Saturday if I break top 5 intermediate I am going to move up....

It is kind of funny how quick people are to call someone a bagger though. I played the first two holes at wyco pretty well and people in my group started calling me a bagger (unfortunately it didn't take long to make it obvious that I wasn't bagging). Then, at the end of the day the guy that won our division was called a bagger as he went to pick up his first place prize. He only won by four strokes so it didn't make much sense to me. I agree with dm4, do what feels right for you.

Gotta remember that sometimes it's fun to call someone a sandbagger whether they are or not. It's really a compliment.

I was one of those at Wyco who was calling MOthrows a bagger, but I seriously meant it as a compliment. He was playing way better then the last tournament we played together. The only people who I consider "real" sandbaggers are the ones who win a division and their score is so good that they would have won the next division up.
