Sandbagging

I didn't want to add a sand bagging section since much of the discussion has been less than admirable to the sport.  I present a few ideas that I think can help the situation. Providing Incentives to Reduce Sandbagging Just a few short ramblings on the subject An Invitation To Move Up I don't think that public heckling is a good solution to sandbagging.  We developed an award of sorts to give to our top amateur players.  While being a little tounge-in-cheek, it is a form of positive re-enforcement demonstrating a little class. Payout Methods to Reduce Sandbagging Here are some ideas on how to structure your payout to reduce sandbagging. Proportional Pay Out Tables I have constructed payout tables that are more fair to amateur players.  This distributes less to the top few players and more to the middle and lower players.  Cicking here you can download an .xls file  or email me and I am happy to snail mail you a copy.                                   Download excel file of payout table Mando Bump Rules NorCal series has mandatory bump rules for those players who are too good. Pursuing Proportional Payouts This is a an article Kim Theesen, providing support for proportional payouts.

Models for Disc Golf tours

The Michigan Disc Golf Organization MDGO They have their complete tour rules on-line. The 2001 New England Disc Golf Points Series This has a good point system for multi tournament tours.

Ultimate Issues

Ultimate Teaching Package There are a bunch of organizational items at the Ultimate Players Association website. Ultilinks link site  

Finding and Keeping Sponsors

Sponsors are important in helping to build disc golf courses and in holding bigger events.  To find them we have to prove our worth and offer them something in return.  Look here for more to come.

Get More Women Involved

We should be doing more to welcome women to disc golf. Submit something here. Women in Disc Golf Juliana has started a page on womens issues, Thanks.

Promotional Ideas

Publish a Disc Sport Guidebook Our club has found annual sponsors and published a guidebook for newer players at the same time.  It has been very successful.  Find out how. Sponsorship Document for the 1994 United States DG Open This is a great layout for soliciting sponsors, getting the public involved and publicizing an event. I wish that I(it) had been there. Prepared by Rich Hart and Jim Challas 1998 Ultimate Innovation Grants We have starting a similar grant program in Wisconsin

Clubs and Organizations

This article gives some good ideas on how to energize your own local club. Club Dead Site This site has a lot of good info and ideas on how cool a club can be. These are links to big clubs (or big sites anyway).  They all have useful information if you are looking for organizational ideas.
