USDGC 2011 preview

[veganray]

Here is a list of the USDGC spots given out this past weekend in the PDGA's "Global Disc Golf Clusterfuck®", awarded using a similar formula to how the standings will be calculated at this year's USDGC. Note the high quality of the "winning" players (as illustrated by their stellar ratings - no offense to any of the players intended). Using these results as a guide (and as I have maintained since the revelation of this ridiculous scheme), looks like this year's "national champ" will quite likely be well-below-average AM3 (or lower) player.

SWEET!

man alot of people got in at the Blazer @ boyd hill event. Must have been real easy to shoot over your rating there.

Woohoo I am number 3 on that list. Seriously though the way they are doing this is pretty stupid IMHO. I have been improving quickly thanks to the technique section here but I probably should not have gotten a spot and I should not have a chance at winning at such a large event.

Kinda off topic but I've never been to a large scale PDGA tournament and thought about making the drive down to check the USDGC out this year but from reading things like this, is it even worth it?

if you like watching crappy golf, sure.

If I wanted to see some douche shoot 880 golf, I would go to one of the DGCR meetups.

^juju is grossly over-estimating the skill level of the dgcr user base.
