NBA could do a free-throw contest.
Um...that's just called a "game". They banned playing defense in the NBA about 20 years ago now I believe.

I agree, especially since players are only playing against the course(s) and not directly against their field. Just let first place ties stand. Then, do the putting competition as an entertaining side game that determines who gets first place money but the tournament title remains shared.My sympathy is with the courses who just spent three or four rounds providing ample empirical evidence to prove that the two players are equal that day.
Who are we to just ignore their work, declare they must be wrong, and demand a different conclusion by creating some sort of tie-breaker? (Which can only be a coin flip disguised by smoke and mirrors.)
At most events the ladies are on the course prior to the men so there would be no space to start MPO groups on 10. Even were the FPO not involved your groups teeing off on 10 would be winding up back at 1 with roughly 1/3 of the field still to tee (given typical 120 player field and 12 minute spacing).What about starting the bottom 1/2 of the cards on hole #10. That should allow the remaining cards to start 2-3 hours earlier, maybe more than that.
One problem with this is after those bottom cards play holes 10-18 they would arrive at hole 1 and there will probably still be groups waiting to start their round.
(I'm pretty sure ball golf does this)
Since DGPT uses 2 courses now on every course...why not have players Open and FPO use different courses?Both of the currently allowable options (sudden death and aggregate playoff) are infinitely better than a putt off. Solution to timeliness is cut the bottom of the field before Sunday or not have the FPO on the same course as MPO.
DGPT does not use 2 courses at every stop- more like half. Separate courses for the 2 divisions does solve a lot of their issues.Since DGPT uses 2 courses now on every course...why not have players Open and FPO use different courses?
Now why I am against it? Each team getting one possession taking the football from the 25-yd-line (or 10-yd-line, or 2-yd-line) is a different sport. Shootouts are mostly a different sport, though PKs, when properly ruled ARE a part of thr game of soccer.
I kinda want to see that! Maybe Iowa could score some offensive points!That's a little over-dramatic. It's also incorrect as it is clearly the same sport. They don't break out into a soccer match to tie-break a college football game.
Yes, I agree 100% in using 2 courses now is a must for Disc Golf Pro Tour given size of fields. Of course, since no longer a Silver Series...I thought numbers were higher on pro tour on 2 course stops?DGPT does not use 2 courses at every stop- more like half.
