Any dirt on Feldberg? How'd he take the loss?

No, just curious as to Westside and legacy molds he was throwing. If he was throwing one more than the other overall.
That's a great point. I never thought about how the interplay works for these other broadcasts, but thinking back, there is always one "fact guy" and one guy who gives the why,how,technique,strategy side.

As usual... when he's playing great, he's happy and saying all kinds of good things. When he's playing poorly like in round 2, he blamed everything but himself. He walked right up to make bashing his Latitude XXX for not skipping on #13 when he clearly came up short and hit a patch a grass on the up slope. It stuck like any other disc, but of course it was a Latitude failure. By then end of the last round, he was happy as always and in love with his new plastic.

Everyone freaking out over Prodigy makes me laugh.
They were playing in wide open fields – you give me 30 min to figure out brand new discs I've never heard of or thrown and I would be fine. It's hyzers people.
And beyond that, they still are only throwing 2 of their own discs and many others from other companies.
The true test of these players will be once the full line of discs come out and they go into the woods. That's a whole new ball game.

Team Prodigy has a HUGE advantage over every other sponsored player. They can throw whatever discs they want! They are not limited. They can pick their fav putter, mid, fairway, drivers, etc regardless of make!
McBeast can't throw a D1 even if he wanted to! Can't putt with wizards either. No Buzzz in his bag.
My level of respect for Paul has went up even further after his round...

I am just glad there is finally a team in the game. This will help.
Innova never gave enough to these players to make them root for
one another. Now with this new company Prodigy - it seems there
is a team effort to further the game.

What is this "team" idea going to help??
From day 1, Prodigy has this team first mentality rather than a consumer first mentality. I have yet to hear anyone from Prodigy talk about how this disc line is going to help the average player improve their game. They've chosen names that are boring and not consumer friendly. And their team celebration at the end of the Memorial had a very cliquey feel to it. Furthering this us-against-the-world mentality. Tell me how this is going to help them sell discs and actually earn a living?

So if I'm reading the results correctly, the highest-rated woman in the world beat her own rating 4 rounds straight, and lost by 11 strokes.

Jenkins is the #2 in the world.
Cat Allen/Ulibarri was #1 at the last ratings update. She didn't have a great tournament.
Paige was pretty unbeatable and will probably be #1 in the world soon.

Did anyone else think it was pretty impressive that throughout all the coverage I don't recall hearing Discraft (the title sponsor of the event) mentioned at all?

Hey Chuck on those lists where it says rounds and has the number listed is that just in 2012 or what time period is that in?
It's the number of rounds included in the rating. For numbers that high, the time period is 12 months back from the most recent tournament included.

Ganz was in AZ at the Memorial and hasn't update the tables for yearend.
The number of rounds for the World Ranking ratings is actually 2012 only for yearend World Rankings and only includes B-tiers and higher for North Amrican players. There's no recent 25% of their rounds double weighted. That's why the ratings in World Rankings are sometimes a few points different from their PDGA player rating.
