I'm going to have to think on this some more.
We could run 3 divisions - 24 Players in each. and advance the Top 5 with 1 at large per division. But - then at the Championship - we would have to handicap it. Probably based on Rating. I actually like a handicapped tournament. Levels out the playing field somewhat.
Thanks for your input David. Appreciate you.
I'm not saying you should change. Just be aware of how it will play out.
Are you planning to put the qualifiers from 2 divisions, into 1 division for 1 prize, in the finals?
Notes on handicapping:
* That's something else that would require a waiver from the PDGA, if sanctioned.
* Handicapped events are rare in disc golf, and previous trials weren't popular (beyond local leagues). I know golf does them, but this isn't golf. It may not go over well.
* How you handicap may open up a huge new can of worms.
* On the other hand, it may increase attendance in the qualifiers, if players know that just meeting the top-10 in the qualifier gets them into a handicapped crapshoot for the prize.
