Nest Invitational Tournament aka NIT - Viiibbiiinnnggg

sounds like the flights were based on handicaps, which is fine. quota adjustments after each round (+/-) generally keep things tight and somewhat prevent blowouts/sandbagging

but when the flight winners then have to compete head to head in quota, that’s where it becomes challenging. just not an equitable balance in scoring (as mentioned earlier). I love the flight winners moving into a shootout with % hdcp applied and strokes where they fall. but that’s just me.

Flights were random and not based on handicap

ohhhh…well that’s different.

Random.

Don’t discount you sealed the deal with solid 3 pars to close it out. Well played and a pleasure to enjoy a round with you, @MrVinegar206, and @Fluff Saturday championship morning…

Great course, day, and even better people.

I got so steep in Microsoft Excel tutorials to randomize those things. @Privatecollection was the witness. NO COLLUSION!

You didn’t use Excel much in your former career? I mean, I figure you mostly used specialized tools, but I thought a spreadsheet was one of the more basic beginning tools.

Interesting. Excel, meh.

If you had to do the teams over again, @Randy, what would you change? Would you make it regional? Or maybe one person per region in each group? Or would you change nothing and go random, or group by handicap index, or age…? Number of posts or likes on the Refuge (again, mixing them all up so each group had an “A” player, a “B” player, etc.?)?

You’re reading way too much into what was supposed to be an innocuous comment, my man

No I really think we need to go deeper on Randys excel abilities. I no longer trust the process. The refuge doesn’t have enough excel threads.

@Randy’s really gonna drop by and not address playing the ball down with the mudballs the first round? Smh.

The teams were randomized and felt like the handicaps were spread out in a good way. Low handicaps at the top of each team down the higher handicaps.

We (spencer levin) got lucky with @ChickPhilA being in our group and having a career weekend as well as all of us doing a good job to meet our quota with our phenomenal camp counselor @Randy leading the way.

I’m not just saying this because I’ll be in the birdhouse in 2021. :smirk:

Very fair point

This man really played off of scratch, needing 36 points every round, and was 1 of 5 to break quota for the week, but didn’t make the finals cause of Casey going mega low. Cheers to you, sir :beers:
