First Female Quad Competitor Finishes 4th

Following a hot streak in Pool, first ever female Quadrathlon competitor Laura Sistrunk was not only able to complete all four challenging events*, but also managed to finish the event in 4th place overall. A feat many long-time competitors have never achieved.**

Deepening the controversy, Sistrunk's 4th place place finish also placed her higher than two time Quad runner-up Des Carroll (5th place). "This is complete horse$*!%," said Carroll in a colorful outburst following the event.

Laura's post event comments were short, saying only "I hope those black jackets come in women's sizes, because this is the last year I won't have one."

*List of Competitors not Strong Enough to Complete all 4 Events:

• Patrick Bryde
• Todd St.John
• Bob Reissmann

**List of Competitors to Never Finish 4th or Higher:

• Sean Hipps
• Dave Weigand
• Davis Burke
• Brian Bilbo
• Mark Shilstone
• Dean Higginbotham
• Scott Higginbotham
• Kevin Cooper
• Tim Hale
  

QCS Competitive Equation Values

The Quad Competitive Committee released the QCS Competitive Equation Values (QEV's) that will be used to determine the level of competitive skill in each competing location.

Quick Reference of Values:

1: Denotes highest level of demonstrated skill over the previous 3 Quads

2-4 : Serious contender for 1st - 3rd place in event

5-14 : Moderate to low skill

15 : Assumed skill level of first time competitors

16-20 : Demonstrated ability appears to be lower than a random beginner off the street

Individual competitors' event scores will be weighted by the average value of their on-site competition. Example: If Brian Bilbo were to compete in Disc-Golf vs. Zack, Travis, and Mark, his CEV would be (4+19+7)/3 = 10 CEV. CEV will then be combined with margin of victory to determine the player's QCS rank.

Official petitions for changes to individual CEV's can be made in the Comments section of this post.
