Players that have maintained a 1000+ rating since the rating system started 1998

[chris deitzel]

Anyone have a list of all the pros rated over 1000 during every update since the ratings started in 1998? Or does anyone want to help make a list.

First one I know for sure is Mike Moser who has been over 1000 every single update since the ratings started.

I'm sure Climo is too?......

These are the only players who started with ratings of 1000 or more when the first ratings were posted from the 1998 Pro Worlds:
Ken Climo
Mike Moser
Scott Stokely
Scott Martin
Geoff Lissaman
Mike Randolph
Brad Hammock
Jim Myers

I'd assume Brad has too based.

 

[ChrisWoj]

Scott Martin is on the list. But no new rating since 2011. Though he is current.

Wasn't Stokely below 1000 for awhile after he came back?

He was. Chuck's list is just a list of players that were over 1000 when the first ratings were calculated. This gives you a good starting point to answer the question in the original post.

I thought you set 1000 to the MPO cash line or something similar- is that not correct?

On each course, not by player. If a player averaged the "cash line" score/SSA established for each of the four courses in the two rounds they played on each course, they would have gotten a 1000 rating for the eight rounds. Most players just threw or beat the SSA score in less than eight rounds.

Barry Schultz

If the members are not current we really can't answer the question. They still have a rating, but isn't there a rule about not giving out the ratings for non current members?

Jim Myers dropped below 1000.

 

[Cgkdisc]

The first published ratings were Aug 8, 1998 which you can see in the ratings history of the players active then. Barry Schultz did have a rating above 1000. However, he only shot 996 in 1998 Pro Worlds. We didn't publish the Pro Worlds ratings as the first official update but used those Pro Worlds players as propagators to back calculate round ratings in some big events played before Worlds when enough of the Worlds props played in them. That's why you'll see more than just 8 rounds included in the first ratings published on Aug 8 which was the last day of Worlds.

Since those Aug 8 ratings are the only numbers you can see online, Barry would be in that elite crowd who started at 1000 or above rating. My list posted above shows the original props who had ratings of 1000 or above used to help produce those Aug 8 ratings.

Nit-picky.

I'm perfectly fine with using the Aug-8 ratings as the basis for the OP's inquiry since they're visible. I just didn't realize we never posted the Pro Worlds ratings only on the starting date. So you got a bit of insider history on what happened at the start.

On a coincidental note... The date of the first PDGA Ratings was also my wedding day, 8-8-98! :clap:

 

[chris deitzel]

So Mike Moser, Scott Martin and Ken Climo. Seems like those are the only 3 who have stayed over 1000 on every update since the very first ratings.

I've got you beat by a 2 months and a half. 5-30-98 :thmbup:

I'd be surprised if Hammock wasn't there too.

Congrats on the apparent success of your marriage (from a twice-divorced dude)!

I'm also happy you didn't incorrectly refer to it as "ironic" as many people would have!
