1880 Doubles Oct 29th

[Swede]

Good job getting the info out for everyone. Now for all the questions. Will the K ratings be THE number, or are they negotiable? When do they get locked in? While most will not change in the next month or so, a player with only 2 rounds could change considerably with 1 or 2 more events played.

After a quick scan through the list, I only see a few mis-rated players. Old Man Paulsen's k rating is over 20 more than PDGA. The lower is probably most accurate. JD is playing at least 20 better than his, but that's 8 months of improvement.

I see several with only 2 rounds, probably their home course, that look too high for their actual playing level.

Looks like lots of good match ups possible. Should we wait till closer to tournament to submit teams for approval?
thanks for all the work. Buddy

Stud Paulson is looking pretty fierce, huh? He played Pitt so we'll see what it looks like after that.

Local round ratings tended to be higher than PDGA ratings. I don't know why exactly. The formula for figuring round ratings is the same (I believe) but figuring a PDGA player rating is more involved than for a K-rating. PDGA drops bad rounds after a certain number of rounds is reached and emphasizes the most recent rounds. At any rate, I adjusted the averaged KDGA rounds down a bit to get it more in line with PDGA. They are still slightly higher on the whole, but I think I found a pretty good balance. Example: There are 30 players with 6+ rounds who have a K-rating at least 10 points off of their PDGA rating--12 lower, 18 higher. Coach puffs up quite a bit at the local tourneys, his K-rating is 38 points higher!

For 1880 Dubs, K-rating is what we are going to use. I'm thinking 6 rounds is enough to get a picture of how folks are playing. Anything less than that and there should be some wiggle room. Seem fair? After the Frontier, anyone with 6 rounds or more should be set. Players with fewer rounds could be changing through the Country Club in Salina.

Nothing is perfect but this is the fairest method I can see.

Working on adding Ellis and the REC pool from DooDah...

Hey Swede - looks like I'm missing the scores from the MIO. I shot a 918 and 937.

[Ruder]

This sounds freaking awesome, way to go.

Is there a link to that spreadsheet I missed. The forum is acting up and I couldn't find one but people seem to have seen it.

[Swede]

Hotlinks are missing and it won't let me post a new one. Adkins, you'll have to fix the internets if you want to see your updated score!

Awesome... the host for the website changed something and broke it all. I've got a ticket in with them to see what the heck they've done.

[Swede]

Well done, sir! Internets functional; crisis averted.

Updated list. All tourneys except Pitt: Alphabetized 1st sheet, K-ratings on the second (Tabs in bottom left corner).

If you don't see all your rounds, snoop around a little bit. With misspellings and typos and nicknames and what not, you could be listed in a bunch of spots.

Just ask Corey Flaty. Or Mark Wison who only played 1 tournament till his bro Mark WiLson showed up. Casey Jones and Kasey Jones I hope are the same person. And I wonder if he doesn't go by "KC" as well? "Young Bud" played Wellington??? Russ(?) played Moundridge. Turns out Seth Tooper has a PDGA rating--under Toepfer. I know what Lizard's real name is! If you see a 1 name or a name and initial, help me out--turns out I don't know 350 golfers

[cfluty]

Corey flaty = me

[Swede]

OOPS, forgot to unlock. Links work now.

[pironix]

Beat me to it... was going to let you know it should be fixed now. Guess someone managed to find some sort of loophole and screwed up a bunch of sites so the webhost locked everything down

Russ from Moundridge is Russell Trice.

[RustyMetal]

Russ Horning did not play Moundridge. I assume those scores correspond to Russ Trice.

Man the year of the corset sexxy, not such thing as fatties! I would be down and someone good is gonna want me! I got that gangster low rating you are looking for, and am playing pretty good at Beloit I shot almost200 over!

Fixed. Bad paste job last time. Done through Monkey.

[Swede]

Done through DD Open. Updated the PDGA ratings of the few folks who played Pitt. Caught a math error which was reducing the averaged PDGA rounds. I'm hoping MIO, DDO, and Thomas Park are all included in the next PDGA ratings update because I want to see how the K-Ratings stack up to folks current PDGA player ratings. Next update is in 2 weeks--the one after that is after 1880 Dubs.

Again, once the Frontier Open is entered, anyone with 7 rounds in their K-Rating will be "locked in" for 1880 Dubs. Those with less can lobby for leniency. Fair warning though, the Judge is a heartless prig who has lost all joy.

Google Docs has a little different look now--don't go blind.

[Ruder]

I dont get what the K, P, avg and all that is.

If my my KDGA rating is 995 and pdga is 975 where does the 977 come in?
