[Aces and Chains]

Deuces Wild points are finally up on the PDGA. New points totals for each division listed below. There is only one tournament left to pad your totals: The Wild West 2011 at Westpark in Joliet IL on August 27th & 28th.

[Aces and Chains]

No changes to Pro, AGM, GM, or the Women's divisions.

Advanced points:

1.)   Jon Boster – 175
2.)   Jason Riley – 145
3.)   Ben Carrescia – 110
4.)   Elmer Mueller - 91

A wide spread of points thru the top three of Jon Boster, Jason Riley, and Ben Carrescia. Looks like the 16th spot in Advanced could be highly contested. The difference in points between 6th and 18th is only 30 points. With 16th place at 45 points, anyone could still get in the finals.

[Aces and Chains]

Randy Moore Sr. has been on a tear all year long. Sitting 52 points above second place, his lead is nearly insurmountable. But can he win 5 match play rounds in a row to bring it home? This Intermediate field looks very tight, with the difference between 12th and 22nd being only 20 points, anything can happen.

Kenny Loeffler and Jake Guajardo in a dead heat at 80 points each, with Eric Smith and Sean Callahan right on their heels. All four are within 10 points of each other. The points difference between 13th and 42nd is only 26 points. That last qualifying spot (at 16th place) is up for grabs, and could be captured by anybody at this point.

[Aces and Chains]

A lot of movement on the Intermediate list. Randy still commands a huge lead over the field, and won't have to meet the second place finisher until the final round, if at all. Jacob Burton, and Aris Pashos (among others) bring a lot of points from lower divisions earlier in the year, and by playing multiple days at many of the tournaments. Let's see how that strategy pays off during match play. Will they be overmatched? Or are their skills progressing fast enough to beat the rest of the pack?

Int points:

1.)   Randy Moore Sr. – 352
2.)   Jacob Burton - 284

List of players invited, more info, and online signup is available here: http://www.acesandchains.com/node/1

You can also stop in at the shop to sign up (cash only please!)

[Aces and Chains]

There are several discrepencies at the bottom of the invite lists which I hope will be eliminated when one of the spots in that division fails to fill, either because the player is out of town, or lack of funds/interest for this tournament. If that fails to happen, then we may need to have a playoff for the last spot between the following players who are tied in points:

MPO:

Kris Hutter
Clayton Drake



Recreational:

Matt Jakusz
Chris Anderson



Novice:

Alex Africa
Danny Cardwell
Aaron Studer



Anyone I've listed above with a discrepency, may sign up immediately. All first alternates are welcome to do so as well. If we can't put you in a spot, we will refund the money.

[Aces and Chains]

Catching some discrepencies with the divisions players are assigned to, as I'm going thru trying to find everyone's email address and phone numbers. I will post the corrections all at once as soon as I am done.
