Since Kevin likes to start threads to drum up support for his Semi-Pro Division, I have started a thread to gauge support for a compromise to the Expert VS Semi-Pro divisions.

I hope everyone agrees that you can't ever force a player to go pro. That they should always have the option to remain an Am for Life. Next, I would ask everyone to agree that under the current ratings breaks for Ams that it is not fair for a 915 player to be thrown into a division with 965 rated players. Remember, he is forced, it is not his choice to play Advanced.

So, if you agree with the first two questions, would changing the ratings breaks and adding a division at the bottom of the Am ranks solve this problem? It would be implemented across the board at all PDGA events. It would not destroy the Open pool and it would not create a new division between Am and Pro.

Here it goes:

how can you ask a question and want to know if we agree or disagree with it?

I thought something seemed funny about the first two questions.

1 thread ;) the other ones I just decided to use as my soapbox :D

Tomorrow I'll be back to Semi-Quiet Kev, but I've been wearing my politician shoes this week ;) :D

By the way I would be in favor of re-arranging the ratings breaks, instead of Expert 10000%
;)

Definately!! I think Kevin is just trying to offer a solution to counter the Expert division idea, mainly to keep that division from happening. We definately don't need another AM division NO MATTER WHAT!! Doing nothing would be much better than that. I think if an agreement can't be made between the Expert/Semi-Pro ideas, we should just adjust the ratings through all of the divisions.

I've been semi-awesome for a good while now...does that count?

The way the last question is worded makes itr seem like the 940+ guys are forced to play Semi-Pro. :confused:

No one should ever be forced to play pro if they don't want to

appears this poll is saying NO to semi pro and expert CRAP!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Just give everyone a cookie and pat on the back and tell them how well they played.
