My girlfriend Lori Merriman managed to play well enough at the Vibram last year and take 6th place bringing home $500 as an 897 rated player!!

Maybe I am missing something here but Val & Cat tied for NT points.
http://www.vibramopen.com/current-standings.html
If there is a tie then per PDGA:
http://www.pdga.com/national-tour
So my understanding is that Cat should win the NT title per (1) above, right?

But only the top three events plus the Vibram count towards the NT Points Series. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a tie at 388 and Cat would win over Val in a tie. I will happily leave it to HQ to sort it all out.
I thought they crown the NT winner at Vibram, hence why the Vibram keeps track of the running?
I'm totally confused now. After reading "Who Can Win it, and How" for the NT title on the Vibram Open webpage http://www.vibramopen.com/who-can-win-it-and-how.html it says the only way Cat can win over Val is to either finish 1st and Val finish 3rd, or Cat finish 2nd and Val finishing 4th. Yet, my post above shows how Cat should win the title with her winning the Vibram and Val finishing 2nd. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't Vibram be announcing the NT title winners already???

Any confusion can be eliminated by simply reading fb.

I just saw Innova's post on facebook as Val being the winner. I went through and reviewed all six NTs and points awarded and Catrina should win without a doubt. I'm wondering why there is some confusion and vagueness as to who won and why the Vibram Open hasn't publicized the actual winner?

if you reviewed all 6 NT's and you came up with Catrina having more points you need to recheck your math...

First of all, PDGA HQ tracks the NT Points Series, and not Vibram.
Secondly, there is an issue with the PDGA database which Technology Director Steve Ganz is looking into. This issue is preventing "automatic" calculations of these results. The PDGA Tour Manager, Andrew "Big Dog" Sweeton, did the calculations by hand several times on Sunday and came up with both scenarios. To complicate matters, Big Dog is on the road right now and it may be some time before he, Steve, PDGA Events Director Alan Kane, and PDGA Office Manager Marcy Borelli (who will cut the checks and mail them) can coordinate all this.
Lastly: please, please, please Patrick, run a tournament. Please.

how much cash do these ladies get for winning the series and what is the difference in cash between first and second?

The payouts are $1,000 for first place and $600 for second place.

thanks, i suppose those ladies would like to see this cleared up asap so they can get paid, unless they already paid em both $600 with the remaining 400 to be given to the winner when its determined

As indicated previously, the PDGA Office Manager is sending out checks for all ladies and mens NT Point Series winners.
No NT Point Series payments were made at the Vibram Open to Val or Catrina or anyone.

Let's see how hard this is.
Take the top 3 scores of the first five NT events and then add the score of the Vibram Open.
Val - 100 - 93 - 100 - 91 - 95
Cat - 95 - 93 -91 -100 - 86.5
Val's top 3 scores = 100 + 100 + 95 = 295
Cat's top 3 scores = 95 + 93 + 100 = 288
Val Vibram score = 93
Cat Vibram score = 100
Val total score = 295 + 93 = 388
Cat total score = 288 + 100 = 388
We have a tie. What happens in a tiebreaker? Rule 1), head-to-head in Vibram Open. Cat wins head-to-head.
There you have it. Cat is the winner.
