2010 Tourneys (How'd You Do?) Goals for 2011

[TheStray]

As a first year PDGA member I made it a goal for 2010 to try to get to at least 5 tournaments. I sucessfully did that and more. For my 2011 goal I am going for a PDGA rating > 850 and move up to Am3.

Over all I thought 2010 was a fun year to get started in the tournament scene and actually try to be competitive rather than just playing for fun.

My tournament goal for 2010 was to play in 5 events and get my rating over 900. I played in 6 sanctioned and 1 unsanctioned event with one more unsanctioned event coming up this weekend, and my current rating is 903. I'd like to play in at least another 5 sanctioned events in 2011 and get my rating over 915.

I netted 1 rating point gain. 3 total events.
9th, a 13th when I realized I was hurt in March and my comeback 6th in November.

Christy:
11 sanctioned events:

4 1sts in REC women including a Major at USWDGC
3 3rds and a 1st in INT womens including 1 b-tier
1 2nd in Adv women at a b-tier
1 5th and 1 15th in REC men

Net gain of 111 ratings points from Dec09 to Dec10

My goal: 900 rated rounds in tournies
Her goal: 800 rating

The view from the Other Side of the Hill:

Goal: Try to hold onto as many ratings points as I can.

joined the PDGA this fall, had myself pegged as a good MA2 player. Played two tourneys, shot rounds of 931 905 930 and 941. Just need to keep up on the practice, stop giving away strokes with the putter, and I can finally realize my goal of being a mediocre MA1 guy!

I'm going to keep playing MA2 till I get bumped up, which will probably happen next summer. I want a little more experience being one of the better players in my division, and keeping a better focus in the 2nd round. I had leads in both tourneys and ended up losing both by a single stroke!

I played in 29 PDGA events and had 5 wins in the MPM division. I'm on the comeback trail after years of lackluster play. I didn't win anything big this year and I didn't finish high up in any big events but hopefully 2011 will be even better. I'm a little disappointed in the events that I was leading in and did not win. I've always handled pressure well but I let 4 tournaments slip away this year. I also was able to get my name on the ODDS trophy again as a divisional winner. I think I had a 3 year drought.

I can identify with the above.

My goal for 2010, a 900-rated round. Check.
Unfortunately, the morning that i had the 940-rated round, I followed it up by throwing an 832-rated round in the afternoon.
My other 900-rated round (912) was followed by an 854-rated round in the afternoon. That wasn't so bad, considering the weather.

My goal for 2011, consistency.
Specifically, no round lower than 860. That should go a long way to improving my Player Rating.

yea that sure is a crappy feeling. I don't mind losing, but having a lead and then giving it up through poor play really sucks. I wouldn't mind losing if my competition got on fire and outperformed me. I just hate beating myself.

 

[gcr_russell]

I got only 2 sanctioned events in 2010, second in a big a tier in intermediate, and 5th or 6th of 8 or 9 in my first advanced.
I also won 2 of 3 unsanctioned in small fields, and won am1 in a sanctioned doubles tourney with a decently big field.
I raised my rating from 900 to 937.

My goal next year is 3 sanctioned tourneys and a rating of 950 or better with making he cash in each tourney. I'd love to finish top 3 in Vegas this year at the GCC

Can I get your discs again?

Considering I had hardly started playing at the beginning of the year, I had no goals coming into 2010, tournaments weren't even a consideration. Come July I tried my first tourney and won intermediate, then played an A-tier, took 4th, played one more intermediate tourney and took first. Since then I've played 2 advanced C-tier tourneys, got my ass handed to me in both. At one point I had my rating up to 920, but now it has dropped to 909.

2011 Goals:

Play 10 Tourneys
Rating of 935+
Play a 1000 rated round
Win an Advanced Tourney (at least be competitive)

I went into 2010 with only 5 months of disc golf experience. I figured I would play in the tournaments at my local courses but ended up playing 16 PDGA events. I won my second tourney in Novice then moved up to Rec for the rest. Won an A-Tier in Rec but my rating is square in the middle of the division. Meet a lot of cool people and made some good friends at my local course.

2011 Goals
-Play more consistent (my last tourney I went 0, +12, +2 and missed first place by one stroke!)
-All rounds above my rating (till it gets over 900)
-Be playing competitively by MA2 by years end
