PDGA ratings are up. How'd you do?

They tried to figure out my rating once, but it blew up the computer when it came back as a negative number...

...they don't try to figure it out any more. :\
 
I'd suspect mine didn't move as I've played no tournaments since the last update.

Yep. Still crappy.
 
897

First tounrnament was the DD Turner Park Tune-up in Grand Prairie, TX.

Think I was like 11 over the first round then 14 or something the next.

IT WAS SOOOOOOO COOOOLLLLDDDDD!!!!! ...and wet to boot.

I couldn't toss my way out of a wet paper sack.:wall:

....they're gonna think I'm a sand bagger. :doh:
 
Lost 30 points, that's what I get for playing with a broken rib... I plan to go up at least 50 by the may update though.
 
Hey, we're working on meeting in the middle. Thanks to the Perkerson Ice Bowl, I'm up 21 from last time. Still below you, though.

You are on a tear and I am on a steady decline. Next update you got me because we probably aren't doing another tourney and Meeks killed me.
 
Surprisingly I went up.....907 to 911. I didn't play too well at the last tourney, so I thought it may drop slightly.

897 in Intermediate isnt sandbagging. I wouldnt worry about moving up to advanced til you were around 915, or unless you just wanted to.

915, is just my personal opinion, you see people in the 920s in Int all the time, though I do think 920 is bagging.
 
what's par? 1000 or something?

Depends entirely on the course, at the Tourney you played. The first round a 61 came in at 1006 rated. Your second round it was a 64 came in at 1006.

Dunno if you used different Tees the second round or people just shot worse but thats what scored at your particular tourney.
 
I dropped two to 945. Probably going to drop down another 15 or so come next rating :\
 
im at 932 i only played one tourney but won rec if i move up to intermediate would i be baggin even tho i never played intermediate before

Theres a kid who is 928 that plays intermediate...he could easily play advanced and maybe even open, especially at local events. Hopefully his plans are to play worlds and go pro because he is technically juniors legal...obviously the boy can play, no need to play INT.
 
if you want to talk about a bagger I played in a tournament last weekend where a kid had been playing Open since he started but hadnt received a rating yet, then played INT so he could get a free go to the BG ams. yea ratings are posted and he came in with a 957 and all of his ratings since have been higher than that. I am a 926 rating now and I play INT but that 926 was all due to one single round where I couldnt do now wrong other than a lost disc in the open (still cant figure it out) all my ohter rounds are 880-900 since. Plus I have only been playing tournaments for like 6 months and I am looking for some tourny experience.

How young? One of our DFW locals Dalton Seabolt is rated 960 went to worlds and played under 19 juniors and finished 16th.
 
I was expecting to be up to 870ish from 862 but my rating is unchanged. I am a bit salty about that since I played in one tourney in January and those rounds were all rated higher than my current rating. Unfortunately they were not used since the TD is apparently working extremely slowly and the scores are not official. I guess they will be added next time. Maybe I can pad the rating with a solid showing this weekend in a 2 day, 3 round event.

I doubt I'll play another sanctioned event between now and the next ratings update. With Ari's bar mitzvah coming up in a little over six weeks, my weekends tend to be pretty busy with family stuff. Running singles at ERP on Monday nights, plus helping out with work days and such leading up to the Atlanta Open, then being committed to shooting pix both days for that -- that's about all the time I can expect to commit to DG stuff for a while. Still will sneak across the street for a round whenever I can during the week.

Plus, given the way I played from the blue pads at ERP Monday night, I'd probably only give back whatever I gained.

I'm pretty sure I know who Bill's talking about -- he's 15, I think (may have turned 16 by now). He's listed in the Worlds invites in MJ2, which means he was born in 1994 or later. And he's got tons of potential -- factored into his rating are several tournament rounds, in solid competition, that were rated 950 or above, including one 972, one 971 (in the same event) and a handful of rounds in the 960s. He outdid himself a couple of weeks ago and shot a 1007 rated round in the second round of a tourney in bad weather conditions -- second best round of the day for anyone. He won Int (for the second year in a row at this event), would have won Adv, and would have finished second in Open (yes, they all played the same layout). That event was after the cutoff for this rating update by just a few days, so you should expect to see him move up significantly next time.

The scary thing is, from my conversations with his dad at various events, he's not even taking it all that seriously right now -- he only played a couple of events the second half of last year. But it was clear when I played in the same group with him back in Oct 2007 (I was playing with a juniors group as a nominally responsible adult to keep an eye on things) that he was something special. And last summer, he deuced 9 out of 10 consecutive holes in a juniors event that I ran. He's not David Wiggins, but he can definitely expect to play competitively at the top level as soon as he decides to do so.
