Another ratings update has occurred, a pleasure for some and a pity for others.

So who went where?

I know I went up to 949, and I know Travis Greenway went to 963!!! :eek: And dad had a little slip, but I think he is still doing well to be out playing and recovering his groove after three months of being on the mend.

I have been sick for three days and I know my game has already gone to trash!

949 for me also. :D

944...went down 5 points. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thank you DLHO :(

I can't wait to get another shot at the lake.

FurDog is up another 7 to 836 now!

Keep it up hairball! :D

Looks like the novice division for me. :)

Ahhhhhhh GA Ga ga ga!!!!! :cool:

i dropped 15...ouch

dropped 11...need to ask the PDGA if I can get my AM status reinstated so I can play AM worlds again.

So I guess accepting cash at a B tier doesn't qualify for Pro Status. That's great news!

I thought Wagle accepted sanctioned cash a couple times last year?

Yeah Wagle cashed 5 times last year...i guess cashing at a sanctioned tournament does not necessarily mean you lose AM status.

I think you can accept cash and play am if your rating allows, and if you are still registered as am???

I'm not Chuck though so I might be completely wrong...

I think you can accept cash and play am if your rating allows, and if you are still registered as am???





This is correct, but as far as I know if you accept cash and your rating is still below 970 you cannot play any Majors (am worlds, am nationals, am world dubs etc) which is what I am interested in doing. You can however compete in A, B and C tiers. I'll do some research to find more info on it.

In the ratings guide I found this but it's still not specific as to what events you can play after accepting cash: Pros rated <970 may compete in select Amateur divisions at PDGA events for which they qualify.

I'll email Chuck.

For the bigger events (majors, NT) You can only play where your rating allows... For anything else, its up to you I think.

Cool, I hope thats the case. Thx!

Section 2
2.1 - G. A Player registerd as an Amateur may compete in any Pro division for they are eligible based on age and gender.

2.1 - H A player registered as a Professional may only compete in Amateur divisions in select cases.


2.3 Reclassification
B-2 An Am player is automatically re-classified as Pro when the player has accepted cash while competing in a Pro division. Accepting prizes in lieu of cash or accepting money for winning an ancillary contest, such as an ace pool does not cause a player to relinquesh his or her amateur status.

2.4 Pros playing Am
A. Pros rated less than 970 may now compete in amateur divisions offered at PDGA A, B and C Tier events, for which they qualify based on player rating, age and gender.
(1) Pro Men and Women
<970 can play advanced (MA1)
<935 can play intermediate (MA2)
<935 can also play advanced Master (MM1) if they are of masters age
<900 can play recreational
<900 can also play Advanced Grand Master (MG1) if they are of age
<800 can play novice (MA4)

2.3 Reclassification
B-2 An Am player is automatically re-classified as Pro when the player has accepted cash while competing in a Pro division. Accepting prizes in lieu of cash or accepting money for winning an ancillary contest, such as an ace pool does not cause a player to relinquesh his or her amateur status.





Thanks, that pretty much explains it...wish it said something about majors though.

If you are automatically re-classified after accepting cash I wonder why c-dub and myself were not forced to re-classify. I renewed as an amateur this year, I think Wagle did the same. It probably has something to do with our ratings being below 970.

I have no information on that. i was only trying to find the answer to your question.

The way I have been led to understand it, It is all depending on how you are registered. Me for an example, I registered as a Pro, so I can only go back to MA1 (advanced) since my rating is below 970 but above 935.

How you two are still showing as ams may just be an oversight on the board. I would hate to see you guys use that and then have them come back and say NOOOoooooooooooo, you can't do that. :p


The re-classification rule pretty much sums it up though.
Take cash, you're a Pro.

10-4....thank you.

Somehow Fort Smith's Ice Bowl got included in the ratings, mulligans were sold for charity, it was approved by the PDGA but wasn't supposed to get rated because of the mully's, I'll be contacting them to get it fixed

So what you are saying is Tulsa's 2nd biggest bagger can go back to advanced with a 964 rating?


Where am i going to put all this plastic. I'll just sell it at the river :D:D:D:D:D

You could probably sell a few more if you would keep out of the mens room :o

Ha ha ha...

You got burned by papa Treat. . .. . .

Dude????.....Why do you have to say anything? :(....My rating just went up 7 points and it's probably from my FS appearance. What the PDGA doesn't know won't hurt them. Take a break "Father Fix It" and let me enjoy the view from up here. ;)

Hutch, just insert your picture here.... :o

Its not up to Evan now, Collin Furrow, 28003 (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showprofile.php?Cat=0&User=6298&Number=823321&Boar d=Ratings&what=showflat&page=0&fpart=18&vc=1) has taken it upon himself to report it to the PDGA and Chuck.

Great. :(....He's currently on suspension until 5/5 so I guess now he's turned into a PDGA informat. I'll bet that guy majored in "Hall Monitor" in college. :p

It was part of my "plea agreement". That is the only way they would let me post again. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Talk about a HUGE mistake on the part of the PDGA. :p

he should do well in the business world once he graduates, as long as he works for the IRS. :o

832! Whoo hoo!

How about some 963 for ya :oThank you Duncan....it is only based on 12 rounds but that is all the golf I could play....see yall in May for the NT. :cool:

Wonder why Z boaz didn't show up in the ratings? That killed mine. :(

I have read that none of his tournaments showed up. :o

+4 more points today!

20 points higher than FurDog. :D

I stayed the exact same...what are the odds of that? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I went up a whole point. :D

Nice work Dave!! :D

I'm just glad I had one that wasn't included /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. Its probably a good thing or would have been much lower /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I went up a single point as well...

950 baby!

I remember the last time I moved up one point it was to 900.

Good to see some progress.

up 21 points

woot

Yeah but your rating won't be accurate for years.

You registered in March.

What I have is what we would like to call a "true rating" a player who has had all his round rated since being in the rec division.

You got to where you are now due your play in the last few weeks, which, good though it may have been, is still not going to make your rating accurate.

Same thing happened to T-Dogg. He won his first sanctioned tournament and went straight to 963 (I was 915-920 ish). But as of this last ratings update he has fallen back to 943... :eek:

But if you keep playing like you were this weekend, all that rating will do is go up.

Feldberg told me that he just tries to play above his rating.

Take that for what its worth....he is 1039 rated now...Climo is 1035.

up 16 :D

not sure if i went up or down
but i am in the 900's
i think i need to start playing a bit more

I don't know Slack, after playin on the same card with you saturday, I think that there is something you do less of. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

no way dude

did you not see some of my colorado rules shots

you just needed to do a bit more
but i will give you a bit of credit i have never seen you putt so good in your life and not sure if you have either
you nailed 80 and 60 footers more that one time
you got me this weekend but you had the mojo of the 4 wheeler
how was i supposed to hang with that
slack

Slack, you have had a steady climb up the points ladder until these last ratings this year.

7/05 832
9/05 +3 = 835
12/05 +29 = 864
12/06 +35 = 899
11/07 +10 = 909
4/08 -2 = 907 ;)

so that is still better than the
td pro at chandler
maybe i can improve that number after the mitch mac classic

what is the muff rated?

You're **** near a 100 points better than the Course Director at Chandler.

Never refer to him again as the course pro, that has been changed. :D

That's ok. I'm leaving the DG community to go on tour with "TWISTED BIG DOG". :cool:

You two can be my "fluffers". :o

<<< 849

down 2 for the first time since being a member to917

900 -----> 917

Paul...917, I figured you would be much much lower than that /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

hey cmon, just cuz i can't do something well doesn't mean i can't enjoy doing it poorly :D

Hey thats Muff's motto. :mad:

hey i jumped 2 more points now I am back to 935

Woo Hoo
