It's time for some nominations for the next matchplay season. Last year we had 33 nominations, but with a forfeit early, we ended up with a full 32 person draw.

Starting up now means there could be some qualifers played before the new year, if necessary, so I will accept more than 32 players.

There was some talk last year of having pools, but I don't think it will work as we have too many people. More matches equals more forfeits, although we did well this year.

Note that nominating for this comp, means you may need to make a sacrifice at some stage to get your match played. If you know you will won't have much time to play, and it will be difficult to organise a match, don't bother nominating.

The draw will not be completely random, particularly in regards to qualifying. For example, newbies and forfeiters may have to go through qualifying. Last year's semi-finalists will be in separate quarters of the draw too.
I might also look at making sure you don't play someone in the first round, that you played this year. After all, it is a quasi-social comp.

How does a $5 entry fee sound to organise prizes for the winner and runner-up? Any love for a third place playoff as well?

Nominations will close on Oct 31, so put your name down and PM others to put their name down.

Both are a great idea, no half arsed entries if a fiver is required up front. Though it is just as easier to organise cash for the winner.

can i play Jarro first? am sick of getting booted in the first round.

If you are after a perpetual trophy for the winner/runner-up I'll front up the funds and buy some nice ones. If you are going to turn this into perpetual fee then count me out.

Just out of sheer curiosity, what is the reasoning for being against a minimal entry fee? It has to be a moral objective, because it surely can't be over the exorbitant cost.

AndyP
15th October 2010, 09:13 AM
I thought it would be better to have dedicated prizes for the matchplay winner and runner up, instead of just taking a few from the Champs donated prizes pool each year for the winner only.
I was also considering perpetual and yearly trophies.

Trophy, embroidered shirts for winner/runner up, biggest schallacking...the minimal fee opens up plenty of options for this...

Just out of sheer curiosity, what is the reasoning for being against a minimal entry fee? It has to be a moral objective, because it surely can't be over the exorbitant cost.

Because we are now making Ozgolf a fee for play place. It's one thing paying green fees and comp costs but now we are suggesting for every event (as per the other thread) that compulsory costs are added on top. You will drive away participants, especially high handicappers/non-regular golfers/those who aren't liquid. Why increase barriers? You blokes are the one who perpetually crap on it's about the participation and meeting up in the flesh with people you rarely see and then you want to start adding money and prizes to everything. Hypocrites.

It's obviously not about the money for me, I do alright, and I've already indicated that I am willing to front up with nice perpetual prizes.

And following on from that if I am required to start paying for Ozgolf events, over and above comp/green fees, then I want fair access.

Moe Norman
15th October 2010, 12:03 PM
What he said ^

I have been against the ever growing fashion of extra fees for nearly every ozgolf event there is. Whether it be a compulsory $5 to play matchplay, or pressure for $10 in the punt.

I can afford it, but its just dumb and I also think it may drive others away that can't afford it.

Has nothing to do with me never winning anything, promise.

Golfer69 only beat Jarro, I beat a scratch marker 8/7, and I got nuthin!


Because we are now making Ozgolf a fee for play place.
All fair points, and the many condescending remarks about someone who got the cash at a previous champs for not buying everyone a drink afterwards was a disgrace, and is a good enough reason to stop that wank altogether. Lot of goodwill that did for the poor fella whoever it was.

I still think a token amount should be collected though, I like to be playing for something. But as you said, stated up front and also some should go to the site.


And following on from that if I am required to start paying for Ozgolf events, over and above comp/green fees, then I want fair access.Ok, that one has gone whooooosh over my head, tell me more, as I get the vibe that is something that makes the money issue insignificant.

In line with the Champs, there will be a $5 comp fee for the matchplay to shower 1st, 2nd and 3rd with prizes. As a result, I have removed Moe Norman and just's names from the list of interested parties. There's still over a week to nominate. I did send some PMs out to alert people, but I may have missed some.

Chops and golfer69 are unlikely to play too with their current conditions.

nah.

I'm still playing, but like the punt, if I win, I don't collect.

Or is paying now compulsory?

Compulsory. Handing the winner's awards and prizes to second is stupid.

happens in the punt all the time, and Just has already indicated he is paying for the prize.

The $5 is just cash, I'm sure 2nd won't mind collecting the cash, but not the prize.

After all, its just a quasi-social comp, right?

Coem on Moe - its not a principle things...its not booze its for prizes. Andy obviously is hot fav for a 3rd title and needs something nice to convince the bride that all that golf isn't a waste of time...so we need something nice for him to take home...."I won" without a prize is only good for a "that's nice dear"

Moe Norman
25th October 2010, 08:17 PM
Coem on Moe - its not a principle things...

yes it is.

I've always contributed to the punt, cause I like the idea. What I don't like is the ridicule directed at people that don't contribute, and the pressure imposed on some that don't want to.

If I were in it for fancy prizes, I'd go an play with the Tour Fore guys or one of the many corporate social clubs I get invited to. But I like ozgolf for the social aspect and the fun had at ozgolf events.

I'm not short of money, and I couldn't care less about $5, but I think we're heading in the wrong direction imposing mandatory fees to enter an ozgolf competition.

It's only an opinion, obviously one that isn't shared, and so be it.


so we need something nice for him to take home...."I won" without a prize is only good for a "that's nice dear"

Yep, thats what a quality perpetual trophy is for. I've got one at home for putting that didn't turn out all that 'perpetual' but it's a hell of alot better than a box of Pro V1's. I used to have it on my desk at work in a very prominent position!

Actually after some soul searching I would have to say that the mandatory "comp" fee may not be the best direction to push Ozgolf...at least for the MP title.

The champs has a large quantity of donated prizes and I must say after winning a nice shirt last year courtesy of Shavey I was happy to recoprocate with some stuff. In the champs scenario I would think a fee of some sort might take away the burden on the few.
However I moving towards Just and your view for the rest of the games. I have always supported the stance that the punt should be solely up to the individual. Too many reasons for people not to want to gamble....the in group shit stirring punt aka fleecing Shavey is a totally separate issue and a much more personal and rewarding type of gamble.

I would support the view that Ozgolf should resist any move towards being a "club". Beofre you know it we will have a president, captain etc with the dictatorial administration that goes with it.....some may think we already have that :-)

However I will pay my $5 to be in it although I suppport the non comp fee point of view.

You are dead wrong there!



What I don't like is the ridicule directed at people that don't contribute, and the pressure imposed on some that don't want to.

Because I share that exact same opinion.

However I would like to see it compulsory and the need to pay 1/4 of it back removed, though you and Hux do make some very good points as well to not have prizemoney at all.

Moe Norman
25th October 2010, 11:11 PM
I'd be happy to contribute $50 to a bloody decent perpetual trophy.

I simply don't see the need for prize money to play ozgolf matchplay, its not like it is hard to attract people to the event.

Eag's
25th October 2010, 11:35 PM
The comp fee was only ever discussed for the Champs, purely to aid in purchasing better prizes, and to make things a little easier on those involved in the organisation side.
All other Oz Golf days should be left as they are. The introduction of a mandatory "comp" fee would be a big mistake, the punt should be left up to the individual end of story.

Thanks for making me look like the wanker here. I asked the question in the header post and there were mostly yes answers, with a couple of nos. Now there's backflips.

I only wanted to cover the cost of a trophy to keep, and a couple of medals. I'm not big on the prizes either, but there were suggestions of customized shirts, etc similar to the hats we had for one year.

Consider the comp fee removed, as I'd rather maximise participance.

In honor of the new perpetual trophy, I put forward that we name it the 'Donut Memorial Participation Maximus Plate/Cup/Bowl!'

Kudos to Just and Moe for doing something about getting a nice perpetual trophy.

Agree with AP in that participation is what OzGolf is about.

Question.
Now there is no fee and I was prepared to pay the fiver anyway can I give it to just to put towards the trophy so as he is not bearing the full cost. I know it's only a fiver but I was going to pay that anyway.

Oh and Andy don't waorry about looking like a wanker. I suppose that's part of the thankless job you guys do.

No need to send it anywhere I'm buying the trophy.

To everyone
No one has tried to make Andy look bad. Andy does a great job and if you want to thank him please do so, he deserves it.
If you don't understand the principle behind it and I've tried to explain it pretty simply, then please see me at the next Ozgolf day to sort it out because this is just getting silly.
