Maybe Salient calls them 'square ratings'?
You know, since they're all anti PDGA and all.
Seriously. We just had an Unsanctioned tournament that we ran for a University. We had 47 there and managed to get two sponsored pros (small time local pros, but still). And in the DFW about an hour from North Park. The same weekend. So, yeah...
OMG - YOU SHOULD CONTACT ESPN! IMMEDIATELY!
"Experienced Amateurs" is their nomenclature for "Advanced". Mockable, but so is the PDGA's division name---lots of less-than-advanced players in "Advanced".
Ratings are a mystery---the ADGT promises they'll issue handicaps, like golf. Presumably based on their bizarre concept of "par".
I know! I'm not sure why we never thought of this. We're clearly big time here, need to contact the NFL so they don't schedule events that don't conflict with ours!
Seriously, though, if we managed to outdraw the Texas Open on the same weekend in the same market, then yeah, they're pretty much a joke.
I play in Advanced. But I'm definitely more "experienced" than I am "advanced."
Realistically, a turn out that small doesn't warrant separate divisions.

in my mind, i assume they used the PDGA smartphone app to derive those ratings...but who knows

Well, it's about normal so far for "the foremost tour in quality disc golf tournaments".
Me too. I'm just glad neither has labeled a division as the "broken down" division.
There should be an asterisk on the word"
"quality". Here's how I'd fix it...
Quality*

Very nice.
Might add that "past results do not guarantee future performance", since the ADGT tour so far has been abysmal.

Given the massive egos of those involved, it's kind of amazing how bad they are at promoting their own creations.
I was just glancing at the DGPT thread, and couldn't help noticing the dramatic difference. Well-thought-out ideas, with a measure of self-doubt about the author's infallibility, and put up for public discussion.

He has also EARNED the respect of the disc golf world. The adgt really should be thinking about long term growth of their product. Start small and grow.....so far all we have seen is a lot of talk with miniscule results. A bit off putting to me.

I haven't been watching that thread as closely as this one (not as entertaining); however, I can tell that DGPT is doing was responsible business persons do when getting ready to market a new product--focus groups. They're just lucky to have an engaged fan base that is more than willing to offer up their opinions for free.
