As we all wait for winter to finally be over (about 2 1/12 months too late), I played a round with some TBO’ers and there were still some questions as to how this new scoring system works. Figured I’d go through an example….

Let’s take this weeks upcoming match between Team 10 vs Team 11 – Devin vs. T-Bird, Dean Mott vs Jon, Joey vs Dan Mahar. Each Matchup has a total of 7 points up for grabs, so POINTS WILL BE AT A PREMIUM! My guess is the winning team has a point total of 71.

HDCP now has no factor on the match other than to calculate your Quota. Here’s a quick look at how its calculated.

• Devin’s HDCP is a 3. The Quota formula takes the HDCP and doubles it (6). Then, that amount is subtracted from 34 (34-6=28). That end result (28) us then cut in half to give you your Quota (14).
• T-Bird is a 6 HDCP. Double HDCP gives you 12. 34-12=22. 22 cut in half is a Quota of 11.
• Dean Mott’s Quota is 10, Jon’s Quota is 10.
• Joey’s Quota is 9, Dan’s Quota is 8.

With the Quota’s set, its time to look at how scoring actually happens. Remember, it doesn’t matter that you shot a 41 over the nine holes. You only score points based on how you perform on an individual hole. As you go through your round, you score points towards your quota. At the end of the round, you compare your quota vs your point total.

• Eagle – 8 pts
• Birdie – 4 pts
• Par – 2 pts
• Bogey – 1 pt
• Double Bogey or higher – 0 pts

Let’s assume all six players go out and shoot their rounds with the below results

1. Devin – 1 birdies, 4 pars, 2 bogeys – 14 pts
2. T-Bird – 1 birdie, 3 pars, 2 bogeys – 12 pts
3. Dean Mott – 4 pars, 3 bogeys – 11 pts
4. Jon – 3 pars, 5 bogeys – 11 pts
5. Joey – 2 pars, 4 bogeys – 8 pts
6. Dan – 1 pars, 2 bogeys – 4 pts

Here’s where the Quota Calculations come in:

1. Devin: 14 pts scored – 14 pt Quota = 0
2. T-Bird: 12 pts scored – 11 pt Quota = +1
3. Dean Mott: 11 pts scored – 10 pt Quota = +1
4. Jon: 11 pts scored – 10 pt Quota = +1
5. Joey: 8 pts scored – 9 pt Quota = -1
6. Dan: 4 pts scored – 8 pt Quota = -4

To win the match, you compare how you did vs your quota and your opponent’s performance vs their quota

• Match 1 – T-Bird vs Devin: Devin scored more points, but it equaled his quota. T-Bird out shot his Quota by one point (+1). Therefore, T-Bird wins the match and two points in the standings for his team
• Match 2 – Dean Mott vs Jon: Both Dean and Jon out shot their Quota by +1 pt. Therefore, the match is a tie and both players are awarded one point for their team in the standings
• Match 3 – Joey vs Dan: Joey and Dan both scored under their Quota. However, Joey was closer to his Quota, therefore he wins the match

So, across the three matches there is a total of 6 points up for grabs. Team 11 has scored 3 pts to Team 10’s 3 pts. But, there is also a final point up for grabs. This final point is a team point. What it does is accumulate the teams performance vs. Quota to see which team performed best.

• Team 10:  0 (Devin) + 1 (Dean Mott) – 1 (Joey) = 0
• Team 11: +1 (T-Bird) + 1 (Jon) – 4 (Dan) = -2

Therefore, the final team point is award to Team 10. Team 10 scores a total of 4 pts for the week (2 for Joey win, 1 for Dean Mott tie, 1 for Team Point) to Team 11’s total of 3 pts (2 for T-Bird win, 1 for Jon tie).

Clear as mud yet? Just read it again if you got lost….took me a few passes at it when I was modifying the scoring spreadsheet.

Gents,

Site is revised a bit. You’ll see the ‘Standings’ menu and the ‘Schedule’ menu.

The Schedule menu will have a link that you click on to see the entire PDF schedule.

The Standings menu has links to all years for TBO. You no longer need to click on the word ‘Standings’ to see the current standings. You’ll need to select the year you want to see the standings for.

Gents,

The Final Standings to the 2013 TBO Season are now updated. Congrats to Hawk and Pasta Sauce Prucha for taking the title in convincing fashion. Before I get into some highlights from the year, there’s one thing to note…

Due to the rainouts, the Super 18 holes had to be constantly reshuffled. That reshuffling caused some glitches in the calculation of the Super 18 that I noticed at the end of the year. So let me be clear in this statement: I would publish holes each week that said “these are the Super 18 holes”. I merely corrected the formula to line up with what was communicated to all players. That being said, it only affected the winner in one flight: Flight 2.(check the final standings on the ‘Standings’ page)

That being said, on to the year in review!

A little history….League play was vastly improved in 2012 from 2011. From 2011 to 2012, the league on average showed a full stroke improvement (-1.05) per player.The biggest improvement in 2012 came from Tom Donegan, who shaved -10.71 strokes off his average from 2011. Who took a nose dive in 2012? Yours truly – I saw my average jump 5 stokes.

Now onto 2013…. The league on average added two strokes to their rounds (2.15). Whether it was the rain, the course conditions (who the hell aerates greens in July?!), whatever it might be, it was just an ugly, ugly year for TBO scores. Only 6 guys actually saw a decrease in their averages when compared to 2012: B. Thompson (-1.15), Jack Donegan (-.22), Steve Donegan (-.76), Dale Russell (-.35), Dan Keeley (-1.9) with the leader being Jim “Sandbagger” Morgan improving his sandbagging skills by shaving nearly two strokes off his average (-1.96).

And the ugly gets uglier…19 guys added AT LEAST 1 stroke to their averages, 17 added AT LEAST 2 strokes, and 12 guys added AT LEAST 3 strokes to their averages. But who added THE MOST? Bobby “Yeah Baby!” Zaleski added 7.71 strokes to his average this year. You can see how you faired in this comparison below when you see the last column.

Below are the final scoring averages for the league. While you can deduce who your partner would be next year, those pairings are subject to Commish approval. ]

Hawkinson/Prucha sitting on top by 4, Chris/Fanto as the opponent. Nick/Bill (8 back) to play Lochner/Keeley (9 back). That being said, these are the only four teams that have a mathematical chance.

Going to be a fun Thursday!! See you guys then!

All the scores for Week 14 have been entered.

Here’s the twist – 10 of the 16 matches have been played for Week 8. Those who have played, I’ve included those scores into the Standings. Those who have not played that make-up yet have their names in Red font. Better hurry up and get those make-ups completed, things are starting to get tight!!
