You got a way with words.. What I think is funny about this is that you act as if scheduling an event happens the week of the event so as weather can be predicted. That's not the case at all. Winter really has no play here at all because these challenges are set up too far ahead of time to know if the weather is going to be bad or good so that point is completely moot. AKA the proposed set schedules or the monthly set schedules we have now makes no difference what-so-ever in relationship to the weather.

Steve Solbo wrote:If you can't get 10 of your 20 people to a challenge in a scheduled MONTH, after all there already is a SET schedule, your team should not be in this league... PERIOD.
Who cares? What's your point? Where is this an issue?
Steve Solbo wrote:What if the set weekend doesnt work for a team? And works for the other? I think the weaker teams want this setup b/c it makes it restrictive they'll take their chance that one weekend won't work for the other team and their key players... A pool doesn't give a [bleep], our teams are deep, we can show up with 10 and still beat most teams. Cranbury can, Wick can, Burgess can.
We're bigger than you, we're better than you, nanny, nanny poo poo... Again man, get off your high horse. Have respect.
I think it's awesome that there is such a collection of talent on some squads. It's ill and I love it. I'd love it even more if some of these players and matches could get exposure as the sick athletes and sporting events they are.
What I think is funny is that you speak so confidently about all this stuff. All this A pool and B pool distinction. You do realize that if true super teams wanted to get established you wouldn't make the cut right? I mean I know that sounds personal and stuff but I went to do some research to back myself up a bit, looked for your PDGA rating and couldn't find it.. Are you even a member?
How many tournaments did you play last year? The year before that?
How apart of the disc golf scene have you been lately? How can you possibly have your finger on the pulse of it?
Do you realize how much this game is expanding? How it's absolutely BLOWING UP in New England?
What is your claim to fame to talk so damn confidently on this forum man?
By being obstinate and ignorant you're only going to contribute to stalling the advance of this sport my brother. I hope that can be overlooked for the greater good, and if not it won't much matter anyway. If your A pool super athletes rally behind your super awesome and athletic self(???) then a new league will form and it will most likely become
THE league because it will address the fact that the DG landscape is changing and you're going to see a lot more "b poolers" every year. And ya know what Steve. That's awesome. That means we're growing.
It's great that you could be a part of it in such a big way (NEFA Prez) and I commend you for that man. That's great. I just hope you can continue to be a part of it's growth and not just sit back being divisive.
