being asked stupid questions clearly answered in the invite by text at midnight on the friday night.... :lol: Do you remember the days before mobile phones and emails? then people would actually READ instructions. I know I'm guilty of asking dumb questions. Technology has made it easy for us to dis...

Man, I so wish I could go! Cotgreave visiting Cotgrave would be great.

And here's some analysis of v7 from Cyclone 2011, if you're interested: http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/CroydonCyclone2011/Detailbyhole?:embed=y&:loadOrderID=0&:display_count=no (which shows you that too many open players were getting birdies - this hole needs a bigger challenge for the Open...

Plus Andy Cotgreave! I haven't signed up yet but i am coming.

PS - my brother/sister in law and nephew/neice also live in H'Gate: i'd hammer them to publicise this event, too.

Do you have any dates in mind? We've got to plan some trips up North to see my inlaws and if we can coincide with this event then I'd love to help out.

I'm going to be in Cheshunt on Thursday. Might have time to play the course in the morning. Anyone know what state it is in in the winter? Wellies? Or Trainers?

I just dug through some old photos and found photos of Bud's excellent filing from our planning meetings for Oxdisc Last Chance Saloon (2005, I believe). Nobody does planning or stats or filing as well as Bud. Sometimes it would drive you potty, but boy, it was great to have someone with so much kno...

That's where the old Chevron boys play disc golf - they've already got 18 "holes" through the park. They wouldn't all work with baskets, but some of them certainly would. We should definitely get htem involved, and it might finally convince them to start coming to tournaments. They're still playng u...

You could always dig out the stream and make a river?

Hi Del I totally agree - i was well aware that some of my timings started only for there to be an interruption elsewhere. my conclusion is that it is very difficult to be exact. I would only ever call an infringement of this rule after repeated, obvious violations. I would afford people with obstruc...

Here's the stuff I did back on hole 1 of Croydon Cyclone:

Thanks to Bruce for the data. I've done the score analysis for QP Open. The data does not include the final rounds - that's a little more work than i have time for right now...

And here's the data on the Excess Time rulings.

Great work on FAST scores uploading, bruce. And congrats on winning the tourny! I took timings of everyone's shots in the finals. You can see the analysis here (click to go to the interactive version): http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/QPOpenplayertimings/QPOpentimingsofthrows.png What are my ...

With the 'excessive time' thing, I think if you enforced it too fiercely people would just take longer walking to their disc. I have heard occasional grumbling but I wouldn't say there's an endemic problem in the BDGA tour of rounds taking too long and not finishing in good time, so why cause the a...

I did a quick fix on the Gold/Brown rounds - quick and dirty and it creates more rows per player, but you can at least see the real values. http://community.tableausoftware.com/message/185254#185254 (Jester - I'm afraid it's even worse for your brown round. but at least everyone's brown round is wor...
