New ratings are up at pdga.com.
The J-Town Disc Golf Club member list has also been updated.

I'm just wondering how it was decided who is playing this weekend? I know of a few of the highest rated players in the area that weren't even invited.

Tom Matesevac is captaining the J-Town team.  While I can't say for certain how he is coming up with the team, I think he's doing it through word of mouth.  He was going around last week at leagues asking the top players if they were available for this weekends event.  Anyone who wasn't asked and is interested in playing should just get a hold of Tom.  I'm sure we all want the J-Town team to be as strong as possible.

2011 J-Town Disc Golf Club memberships and bag tags will be available for a $15 donation starting November 28th after winter doubles league at Trinity Links (Lockport).

Here's how the initial distribution will work:

1) All paid members wishing to participate in a singles round will have a top tag reserved for them pending the outcome of the round.  (ex 15 players, tags 1-15 reserved)  Ties will be broken using 2010 tag numbers.

2) All paid members present that do not want to participate in the singles will be given the remainder of the tags in the order they sign up.

3) Remaining tags will be divided up amongst the officers (Ray Hill, Frank Grimes, Jason Poole, Dean Bingham, and Dave Kociuba).  See any officer to sign up.

4) All non-members signing up before 1/1/11 will receive a 2010 tag in addition to the 2011 tag.
