OK, I'm all signed up... now for the rest of the ladies to do so!!

Tanya Spence · #22 May 7th, 2011, 07:01 PM

Does anybody know where I can camp out around the Fort Steilacoom area? Also, if there is anywhere to camp, anybody want to go in on a campsite?

I'll also be super bummed if I miss out on a great PP though (:

hate to say it but you do need 4 to make a div.

So how does that work for the WSS? I have to play in 4 tourneys and can't play intermediate because of my rating. Do I just play? WA disc golf is starting to really frustrate me.

To my knowledge you are required 4 events to "qualify" for the series. No where does it say that you have to have 4 events in the same division

.
I will attempt to bring this up on the WSS group and make sure. ....message posted to the board.

I was also told by another TD that if I start in FW1 that I have to complete the series in FW1. This came up because my official rating is based in one tourney but my updated rating will be in the intermediate range. Who do I talk to in order to find out for sure.

mazza · #28 May 9th, 2011, 07:59 PM

sure ur rating would have u playing down in fw2....if tru u can still play in fw1 if u wish.....u can playin up a division if u wish...a rating is to stop ppl from playing down....a pro rated person playing in am....ur a 935+ rated playin in intermediate

I'm use with playing FW1... I'm just wondering then what happens if there are not enough registered for the division.

From the rule book: "...the director shall offer for competition any division which has four or more players that are eligible and wishing to compete. TDs may offer divisions with less than four players at their discretion." (Section 2.1.J)

It seems crazy to me that we would push women out of playing in their own field for the entire WSS just because there aren't 4 or more of them.

The state series allows you to stay in your division regardless of rating if you played one event (legally) in that division.

I am attempting to fix this for the 2012 series by having "x" divisions no matter the turn out. For the 2011 series news should make its way out about the decision to treat circumstances such as not having the "4" for a division.

As soon as I know what we are talking about is final I will post here

i think sheila responded quite well to this statement (thank you, sheila, for posting the official rules)... also wanted to say, if this were true, i would have had the opportunity to play in very, very few tournaments... i am very grateful that the td's of the tournaments i have signed up for have used their discretion in my favor, thus making me feel welcomed and encouraged to play in their events, even if there's only 2 or 3 of us in the division, and as a result of this welcoming and encouragement i then will encourage as many other gals as i know to play in more events... kinda of a snowbally type effect thingy...

We at Ft. Steilacoom want more women to play. We have trophies for you even if you have to play with the boys, we even had women's shirts offered in the player packs. Just understand from the planning stage to the event there is alot of uncertainty with your divisions and we have to plan what is good for all players, so please get more women to play and we all win. some of the wss questions need to be answered by the wss board members I do not know. see you this weekend

the point was you don't have to have 4 players to make a division. i myself am not terribly intimidated by the idea of competing against boys... i would rather play within my division but am simply happy to play at all...

... also, i should butt out as i won't be playing any wss events nor were these initially my questions... just tryin' to stand up for the ladies...

Hey ASC was a WSS event

Thank you for standing up for the ladies

and I will attempt to maintain my stance in regards to supporting not only ladies but a few other divisions that always seem to get squished to other divisions within the WSS board.

Yammits · #39 May 13th, 2011, 07:32 PM

TEAM www.DiscAddiction.com will be showing up for 3 different divisions!

Danni and I can't make it (I am currently out of the country for work), but we sent along some custom discs, swag, and disc golf apparel! Not sure if you have a raffle, but if so you're welcome to include the items for it or if you have a CTP.

GOOD LUCK ALL!

Bring the island back some trophies guys!

To all the people that helped with this event i would like to say a big THANK YOU!!! it was a very well run tournament, and i couldnt be happier(well except for the rain on sunday).

mark did a great job TD'ing and i give a huge thanks to the ladies in the tent, the work they did made things run very well! the courses looked great this weekend.

and above all, i want to thank Raymond Sieck for investing 25 years to this sport and this course. without him this course would be just another course, he has helped make it one of the better courses in the state.
