WPPR formula change to v5.3 for 2017!

All the leagues I take part in are currently one or two attempt on each machine, play against the feild and use a buddy scorekeeping approach. Even a lot of the tournaments I have attended this year use buddy scorekeeping.

It would be nice to know what is going to be acceptable. I guess we can nominate 5 or so score keepers at league and get them to record the scores, but it will be a lot more work for them, and I expect those people to have less fun. If membership doesn’t support the change, we may become irrelevant from an wppr standpoint. Without being able to could the 6 months of meetings towards TGP, we become just a small direct play final only. Will need to talk to others, but giving feedback that I find the current language too ambiguous. Maybe that is the point.

It sounds a lot like our league. We’re all self group scoring, and then our League President is always present (or someone he deputizes for the night if he’s not) to handle any rulings and malfunctions that come up.

And yes . . the language is ambiguous on purpose so it’s easier for me to just say “NO” to most people, instead of being explicit, and having people try and probe for workarounds anyway

My second question is if pinbowling(and other pingolf like events) can qualify for the pingolf rules. I know it would count under 1/3 games played, but could it qualify under average balls played to get that possibly up to 2/3 it the objectives are hard enough?

Thanks to some help from Keefer he was able to find a website that showed the average number of balls thrown based on your finishing score. I’m okay with following something like this, but will deal with those that want to run Pin-Bowling, or gasp, Pin-Duck-Bowling (the better version) on a case by case basis. It’s been pretty rare up to this point.
