You can have Doss and Simon - I will take Lloyd Weema over either. The prestige an event would gain from that name is priceless.

I come at it from the point of view of someone that has no chance of cashing regardless of who I'm playing against so playing for the fun it is my only option. |

I always thought the point of running a tournament was to attract the best players regardless of the tier of the event.
When I was 970+, I cherished the chance to play against the top pros around the country, and I've been lucky to play with just about every top-player that was around those years. Why would you not want the top pros coming to your event??

I think what eventually will happen is that there will no longer be anyone playing pro who is under 970 in the next 10 years. There will be more and more 1000+ rated players across the country that these low-level pros will probably quit or the advanced field will start being 950-975 rated players as the norm.

But with a limited number of slots in any given event, they may still be filled with a range of players, including pros < 970 and Advanced < 935. It seems to me, around here, that there has been slow movement towards divisions with properly-rated players over the years, and that trend will probably continue.

I have to retract my earlier understanding of Josh. The coffee wasn't working yet. There still seems to be a sense of entitlement and some butthurt over not winning. If said player with the $500 budget doesn't win the $200 to go play in more tournaments, the better player gets that $200 and goes and spends it more tournaments. And that is what it is all about. Maybe you should host a 'local only' tournament and see how well it goes. After loosing that one, maybe reduce it to 'my block only' ![]()

By not having an MA1 division it means we don't create a vacuum, sucking all the INT players up into ADV, and REC up into INT, etc etc. It seems to work quite well. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk |

I swore I remember seeing "advanced," so I went back and looked for myself. My bad, it was from a different person:
>>lol.. here in the DFW area we have a group of 940+ rated ma50 players that refuse to play in the advanced division.<<

All other opinions aside, Im still curious about your personal opinion on the ethical part.
I would like to here you elaborate on the ethics. Especially since some years ago before when the idea of full time touring disc golfer was taking off those guys were often the local pros... some of them still are in some areas. |
